Forgot to mention that my girlfriend has finally accomplished the impossible: I am now a fan of DOCTOR WHO. Before her, the only episodes I liked were the ones with Thomas Baker.

Paladin. Coolest business card of all time. "Have gun, will travel."
"Have gun, will travel," read the card of the man.
A knight without armor in a savage land...

Before my time, but watched it in syndication. I also liked Wild Wild West.

I have always loved things that were "before my time" more than those that were current. My friend's mom was amazed when I knew what DRAGNET was.

I don't know what made me remember this, but when I was a kid, I loved GET SMART.

Firefly for sure. Daredevil for sure. Archer??? Hmmm...

Get Smart is another one that holds up well and is still fun to watch.

Maturiy is overrated.

I still love Beavis and Butthead. The original stuff, no the revamp.

We used to watch Wild, Wild, West religiously. We'd go to my buddy's house - big living room, parents working - and re-enact the fight scenes, taking turns as Jim West. We'd pratfall like pro wrestlers. One of the guys was short, he immediately became Miguelito Loveless. We were fourteen. It was awesome.

In high school, we would do movie fights in the halls, inspired by westerns and also Star Trek. Turns out that was pretty nerdy. :)

I can't recall doing anything like that.

Oh wait, when I got mad in class because I thought the teacher was picking on me, I would growl like when Lou Ferrigno popped on the screen in INCREDIBLE HULK.

By the way, that was in first grade when I was only 6, lest anyone thinks I was doing that as a senior in high school or something.

Lone Ranger
The Cisco Kid
Paladin
Dragnet
Star Trek was good, partly because it was a new idea
Star Trek The Next Generation was great
Star Trek Deep Space Nine might be my favorite of all
And many others

Want to add radio? Did you listen to radio dramas when you were young?

The Shadow
The Lone Ranger (Used to listen to that and Bobby Benson of the BRB Ranch on a crystal radio after school) We had two other radios, but I just thought the crystal radio was cool.
Mystery Theater
Others I can't remember the names of now.

I remember listening to those radio dramas with my grandparents (my brother and I spent our entire Summers at their house). Anytime I hear a bit of one of those, it just takes me back.

I was wondering what kind of TV shows everyone likes. Old, new...doesn't matter. I am looking for something new to binge on.
New, I like the Marco Polo series on Netflix. Old, love Andy Griffith, MASH, and Hogan's Heros
