Wow Frodo! Super Trekkie! I really liked TNG and I love the camp value of the original series...the others never really appealed.

damn that is a tough thing to do.....our tastes change as we age and then trying to quantify one stage of your life vs another is tough. These days I don't have a ton of must see shows. So I guess what I'll do is list what i know i have watched to ad nauseam. If I've seen it a lot, that must mean I never got tired of it. Besides Magnum being my all-time favorite, I won't list the rest in any particular order.

1. Magnum
Cheers
Friends
That 70's Show
M*A*S*H*
Smallville
Monday Night Football
Battlestar Galactica (original)
Star Trek (original)
Miami Vice

Damn . . . I forgot Modern Family. It's early on, but that show has made me laugh harder in two years than I thought possible.

I also have a soft spot for the first few seasons of Mad About You.

Loving it too. Still too early for me to put it up there with the big boys though.

What! No love for the Rockford Files? Dare I say I might rank it ahead of Magnum. I also love the Wild, Wild West.

I like The Rockford Files but it's not in my top ten, and I have to confess that I've never seen any of the episodes that Tom was in! :oops:

I was very young when TRF was first shown in the UK but some episodes were repeated during the day a few years ago. I did tape them in case Tom was in them and enjoyed the episodes I saw.

Was it Season 4 Tom was in? I will get them on DVD some day, they are on my "to buy" list!

Hey Styles! You'll notice that ST: Enterprise is not on the list. I never saw much of the show during its run simply becuase it was shown locally on a channel I did not have.

Also, my above list is in no special order of appreciation (except for the No.# 1 position of course!)

Sorry although much love for Happy Days when I was a child - gotta strike it from the list
in it's place Nero Wolfe with Maury Chaykin and Timothy Hutton. The 40's New York- pure eye candy all through the 60's New York just super.
