Personally I've always been a fan of scifi but sadly good scifi has been lacking in recent years. So I've been going back and rewatching older shows. Right now I just finished watching the Babylon 5 spin off crusade. It's a real shame that they didn't find a way to make it work. I'm about to start watching Andromeda which I never finished watching when it was on tv

(448 posts)my core -Breaking Bad, laugh until I'm in tears -Modern Family - and touch my soul -Lost and Six Feet Under. IMHO these shows, especially Breaking Bad, have taken television to a level I never thought it would reach. I just hope that other writers, producers, studios,etc. have taken note regarding how obsessed, and rightly so, audiences have been about these programs. They aren't just "silly little television shows." They are truly an art form that examine The Human Condition
which makes us all more contemplative regarding our own lives....

It's the same with movies. My alter ego is a spy, though I of course have none of the requisite skills.

(6,199 posts)They get all the cool cars on UK Top Gear though. US Top Gear does not even compare.

(5,364 posts)As to non-movie programming; prime-time and such: None of the above. All garbage.

(2,670 posts)So usually I watch what I can find on Netflix but their selection of good classics is lacking
Populist_Prole
(5,364 posts)Hence, I watch comparatively little TV. The vast majority of the time it is on is basically using it as a monitor for playing DVD's ( and an occasional VHS )

(78,249 posts)sadly, very little good comedy has been made in recent years. The reruns of shows like Will & Grace are starting to get stale.
