It was still a great show though. Do you remember this one Alani?
Ah, yes Nick, I can feel it all flooding back. Not that in those days I was stuck in front of the screen all day or anything, but Flipper was one of those shows we just about always watched.
What a handsome figure of a dragon. No wonder I fall madly in love with the Alani Dragon now, the avatar, it's a gorgeous dragon picture.
My favorites are those that are strongly historically based, those that are fantasy/pseudo-history based, and those that are suspenseful and/or thought provoking...and some that are just plain action.
Examples are Rome, Boardwalk Empire, Game of Thrones, Flash Forward, XIII, Strikeback, CSI NY and Vegas, NCIS - love the cast - Lost and similar shows. I'm also a fan of historical documentaries and historical docu-dramas.
I refuse outright to watch anything called a "reality" show.
Mountain Man, have you seen the new Spartacus TV series? It's similar to the Tudors and Rome, but a lot bloodier
I have seen it, and the next series "Vengeance" - all of them, in fact - and despite the blood, gore and gratuitous sex - or maybe because of it - I liked them.
The Tudors was terrific - kind of a historically accurate version of Game of Thrones!
I've seen a few episodes of Vengeance but Sky keeps skipping back to the first and second series. I hope they include the famous "I'm Spartacus" scene in the final episode of War of the Damned
Bonanza, Man with a Camera, Cannonball[corny as hell, but it was the first decent trucker show]
Dragnet, the original.
What In The World? An incredible show from the Uof P Museum, hosted by Froleich Rainey. It first aired in 1958. Won a peabody and is the reason I became interested in Archaeology.
Doctor Who, the first version and the version with Tom Baker as Who. I loved the special effects
like the broomstick arms on the Daleks, that waggeled when they moved, and the tin foil wrapped around the broomstick to make it look metallic. Shower head Rayguns etc. Great stuff.
Connections isn't really that old. It's still in syndication. I used certain episodes to gather class interest when I was teaching. The game was to figure out where he was going with it and where he would end up.

Well...rats...
It isn't shown here anymore, and I really liked it. It was educational, too.
I almost forgot, somehow, one of the best of the oldie shows - Mork and Mindy.

Red, a couple of years ago my local museum had an exhibition of Dr Who props. There was an original Dalek, an early version of K-9, a replica of the Tardis and the Doctor's patchwork coat (complete with cat badge)
