Got to love a bit of Carl Satan.

I can't be expected to remember what was said half a thread ago. Sheesh!

I'd like to see a lot more documentaries and fewer cop/CSI-type shows. How many more sicko plots do we have to see before we get good TV back again?

Hell, even the Rockford Files was better... Well, at least when I was 14 it was.  :-P

Well Mariska Hargitay is not tough on my eyes... I'd like to build her a cake or something, maybe catch a delicious bass for her.  %-)

To be fair, I probably didn't even read it anyway.

We watch a lot of the dramas too. We like shows they actually put some effort into with an good storyline. We've been known to watch many of the crime, rescue, and medical dramas, but good documentaries tend to be our favorites.

Some others we like are The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Falling Skies, Vikings, Helix, The Strain, and we loved what they did with Battlestar Galactica. We've also been fans of the Star Trek shows since we were kids.

I remember the Rockford Files, St. Elsewhere, Emergency, Columbo, Kojak, Space 1999, and so many others over the years. I'd like to see them redo Space 1999. Like they did Battlestar Galactica. I'd like to see what they might be able to do with it now, compared to what they were able to do back when we were kids.

Do you remember a show named The Land of the Lost? I liked the general storyline, but that show needed some serious help in the special effects department. lol

Why do you think that?  :-P

Check out Breaking Bad. I was shocked to find out I was addicted to it. Very, very good plot and story line.

I really need to finish watching Breaking Bad. I got about half way through the first series, was enjoying it, got distracted by something and haven't watched it since. I think the second series was starting when I was watching it so lots to catch up on.

I do seem to do that with TV series. I did the same with 24, watched a few, and possibly watched one episode of Lost.

A space 1999 remake would be good so long as they kept the theme tune

...and the wigs. Gotta love those purple wigs!
Ooops, sorry wrong nostalgia!

Speaking of nostalgia and bad hair, do you remember Terrahawks?

That was an affront to the senses. But starred Windsor Davis. So that's alright then.

I remember its existence, but I didn't really watch it. I think I was too grown up and mature by then.

(Googles)

Ahhh, yes, 1983-1986. I was at uni and didn't have a TV. Instead, I spent my spare time getting lashed up.

Their hair seems to have been modelled on that of Rod Stewart.

I was about four when it started and don't remember much other than the lead bad guy, Zelda, had a wicked cackle. Scared the crap out of me as a little 'un.

There were robotic ball characters that moved by rolling around and their evil counter parts were robotic cubes that got jettisoned from space craft, landed and I have no idea how they got around. Presumably they waited to be kicked
into the right place by a passing miscreant

I preferred Congo.

Nope, never saw it, but if it was half as good as the new one, then it must've been brilliant.

Apart from the ship of the imagination pointlessness, the rest was very nicely done. The animated bits were nicely done and a lot of them introduced me to concepts and discoverers I'd not heard of before. Things like the lead poisoning debacle I knew bits about, but things like how infrared was discovered and so on. Really enjoyed it.

I also liked the fact it stuck two fingers (or one...being American) up to the creationist stuff on more than one occasion.

Speak to Jim, it's still well worth a watch. The stuff on relativity is very well explained (if a little odd with Sagan cycling around Tuscany).

Trust me. If you've ever seen it you don't need to ask. lol

My old man got into watching Breaking Bad, but I never really did. He also got into Rescue Me. It was another one I just couldn't get into very much.

If I'm addicted to a show it would have to be either Criminal Minds or Law & Order SVU. I love them!

I have all the Battlestar Galactica shows, and considering what they did with the latest one and the movies, they could really do a lot with something like Space 1999. I'd just love to see what they could come up with for it.

I'd also like to know why they seem to have a thing for killing good shows after one or two seasons. They did it with Earth 2, Firefly could've gone a lot farther than it did, and then along comes Terra Nova. All good shows. All gone before their time.

It was good too. Those ruins looked like a pretty cool place to explore, if they got rid of the killer gorillas of course. :)
