Ok, I'm going old school.

Rat Patrol

BaBa Blacksheep

Combat

I just ordered the complete rat patrol series. 22 episodes.

Old, old school. "Peter Gunn". The music is like an additional character in the shows along with Alfred Hitchcock/Mann photography (want to know where Miami Vice came from?). The characters are richly and broadly drawn. The hero is Rockford like flawed and doing the best Cary Grant you have ever seen.

Did I mention the music?

We have a retro channel out here and I am hooked.

What Not To Wear

:roflol::roflol:

Gilligans Island

The Rifleman

NCIS

X-files

China Beach

for now.

I've never seen any of the new series, (band of brothers, sons of anarchy). A friend gave me 'Dexter' on dvd. I suffered through 2 shows and couldnt stay awake through any more of them. Total bore to me.

Though it's not out yet, I am excited about AMC's new series The Walking Dead.

My favorite TV series of all time has been The Shield on FX.

I also began watching "V" (the new series) on ABC. Sadly, Season 1 didn't get the favorable ratings that ABC was hoping for and this show may be short lived. ABC has already postponed the launch of Season 2 until January 4, 2011 (scheduled originally for November 2010) and cut the number of episodes ordered from 13 to 10.

I recently ran across a new DVD release of Shogun. It's a five disk set with the last disk being some "Making Of" and documentary type shorts.

I just finished it this weekend - I had forgotten how good it was. The documentary also reminded me that America virtually ground to a halt when it first aired - restaurants and theaters were almost empty while it was on.

Firefly

Justified (Gotta love a show based in KY)

Battlestar Galactica (Old and New)

Jericho - Cancelled way before its time!

Band of Brothers

Justified is just great. Being from KY makes it even better. I hope we get a season 3.

Added this link for a promo for the show:
