Addendum, Addendum, I must have my Addendum...
Me, too.
Forgot to list some you've cited like Alfred Hitchcock, plus:
The Rifleman (Saw almost all during initial runs or early repeats, and can't believe I forgot one of my faves of all time!)
The Twilight Zone (My fave: Anne Francis as country girl to goes to the witchy woman in the woods.)
The Fugitive(I also have the last three episodes on video.)
Route 66 (I got my kicks! Oh, Cookie, can I hold your comb?)
I don't watch that many regulars, either.

Overlooked faves...
Currently, we do watch Jon Stewart and the Colbert Repor (t)!
And we have most MASH episodes on DVD. My son, who is 15, is a big
MASH fan.
I really miss Hill Street Blues, but was happy Dennis Franz went on to bigger and better choices for himself.
And there was a time there I watched Barnaby Jones in reruns...
(Yikes, please don't tell anybody!)

SueSue,
At least Barnaby Jones had the gorgeous Lee Meriwether as a co - star. She sure was better looking than Buddy.

If you write it like that (Repor(t) ), you really DO watch it!
He's great!

And everything he says is real. And I mean that sincerely!
Real! Got that? And don't be calling me because I won't be home.

About a week ago a poster on a liberal political thread ( I don't remember which one ) was mad at Colbert. The poster actually thought Colbert was a conservative.

Kind of like War of the Worlds, but with Bob Hope at the helm.
It's so great to post a smiley and not be anxious about the repercussions!

Currently I only watch "House" and "Law and Order" (mostly the original).
Classic Series:
Dick Van Dyke
Bob Newhart (both)
Mary Tyler Moore
Jack Benny (Good luck ever being able to see any again.)
For the record, I hated "Friends" and never "got" "Seinfeld." I understand I'm in the minority but George just dorve me up a wall.

All your classic choices are good. I've bought the seasons of "The Bob Newhart Show" that have come out on DVD.movieman1957 wrote:For the record, I hated "Friends" and never "got" "Seinfeld." I understand I'm in the minority but George just dorve me up a wall.
"Friends" was just horrible. "Seinfeld" was funny but not a great IMO. And yes, George drove everyone up the wall. He's like Don Knotts as Barney Fife -- some people think he's funny, some think he's incredibly annoying.
