Certainly is. Downton Abbey is another great one.

If you like Downton Abbey then you must watch Upstairs, Downstairs, which inspired it.

I haven't finished yet, i'm watching the fifth season, but i love the show specially Violet Crawley character; great acting. The Crown from Netflix is a great one too. Have anyone watched The Man In The High Castle?, that's another great one.

I would just like to add that Cash Cab is a very boring show and I'm disappointed that it's coming back.

Those are my two favorites. Love, love, love that show. But I almost quit watching when they killed off John Snow. The end of that season was a real downer. razz

Before I read the book Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight by Thom Hartmann, which convinced me to throw my television and all the connected crap into the dumpster, I used to like to watch Austin City Limits on PBS. Does that count as a Television Series?

I'm prone to hyperbolic titles, plus I was quoting one or two critics who've actually said that about Brideshead. Have you seen it? Where does it rank with you?



No, I've never seen it. I'll just have to take their word for it, LOL.

Brideshead Revisited isn't even the best Masterpiece Theatre ever.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a Trek fan ... but quantity doesn't necessarily mean quality.

I saw a bunch of people leaving a theater in hollywood about 2 months ago who'd attended an MST3K reboot... I hope it's not so.

I doubt any studio would allow any (recent) product to be ridiculed... though crap like "Planet Terror", "BONES" (snoop dogg), "the Pest", "The Force Awakens", "The Phantom Menace", "Revenge of the $#!+" would all benefit from the treatment..


Back to TV, nobody's mentioned THE NAKED CITY (season 2-5) which was a great noir series from the golden age.

I'm just glad nobody's mentioned crud like "Friends", "Sex in the City", etc... it'd open the door to $#!+ like "Homeboys In Outer Space", "Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher", "Family Dog", "The Chevy Chase Show", or god forbid.. "The Platypus Man"

I've never seen Upstairs, Downstairs, even when people were comparing Downton Abbey to it.

I feel Brideshead will be hard to beat in its genre, and will never happen again, mainly becaue no one is ambitious enough to be so literary, or brave enough to be so slow.

As for my best; I'm really influenced by:

Maybe the greatest in its genre!


Love cowboy bebop but Dragon Ball Z & Super is much better naruto shippuden.

Martin Show for me..........RIP Tommy

No one here likes any of my favorites, weird. 1. Supermarket Sweep 2. Divorce Court 3. Teen Mom 2 4. The Smurfs 5. That's So Raven 6. Two and a Half Men 7. The Talk 8. The Jenny Jones Show 9. Double Dare 10. Bananas in Pajamas



The Smurfs was good use to watch them with gummie bears, scooby do, reading rainbow, Inspector gadget, Ghostbusters, X-Men, Spider-Man, Woody wood pecker (My fav as a child), and DuckTales. I miss the 80's 90's cartoons.

Double Dare? IT sounds so familiar was that on Nickelodeon? I swear I watched that show from 1989-1996. Who remember Nick at Nite lol

lol Which Divorce Court? The one with Judge Maybelline?



Maybelline was more fun and Lynn's more of a role model/humanitarian. Both are great.


I watch Divorce Court because I had a crush on Lynn Toler. It's something about women being empowering and intellectual with self respect and independent that just makes me interested and I've been like that since a child. But I keep picking the wrong ones due to they come to me with sob stories that I believe and I turn into jojo save a hoe. The last chick used her kids to get next to me and feel bad because I really loved those babies. But I listen to intelligent women now and use advice that works for me. Now back on Topic lol Judge Mathis is the court TV show I watch.

Judge Mathis: Uh huh, I know you a crackhead, I knew it as soon as you came in here wobbling.....

Star Trek maybe the most influential show in TV history
