I Dream of Jeannie stalag 13 (sp?) Petticoat Junction Beverly Hill billies Star Trek Miami Vice (when I was in college) ER (have only seen seasons 1 through 7, can't get into the current season 'cause don't know characters) Friends (okay, but RAchel was such a slut) Have only been a sporadic TV watcher since college. Current favorites are House, M.D. and Criminal Minds
I really like most of the BBC series; Horatio Hornblower the one I can think of right now. Ian McFadden (that's his name, right?) is such a hunk. REally enjoyed him as Lancelot on the most recent Arthur movie (the one with Keira Knightly). I wonder how old he is now and if he's single. *sigh*
- Gunsmoke - The Rifleman (I think this is the English title, you know, Chuck Connors was starring) - Bonanza
and later I also watched - The Waltons and - Miami Vice....
Is it really THAT long ago??

I was all for the Saturday morning cartoon stuff. H. R. Pufenstuff can still kick Barney's arse. Anything with superheros or swords live or cartoon. I can remember a Justice league cartoon series back from the sixties way before Superfriends came around. Even caught Superman the Musical on PBS once. Any car show like Dukes or Starskey and Hutch wewre never missed. After Star Wars it was all sci fi. Got hooked on Dr. Who in college and haven't yet missed an episode. Riverdance and Braveheart got me into the celtic stuff I watch now.
And yet for some reason I'm listening to Robot Chicken in the background

Unavoidably Detained by the World
"Irishness is not primary a question of birth or blood or language; it is the condition on being involved in the Irish situation, and usually of being mauled by it."-Conor Cruise O'Brien
Hogan's Heros and F Troop--guess I was into the silly ones.

God then made man. The Italians for their beauty. The French for their cuisine. The Welsh for their voices. The Germans for their cars. And on and on until He looked at what He had created and said, "This is all very well, but no-one is having fun. I'll have to make an Irishman."
And so now I feel like a real idiot. Ioan Gruffud is the actor's name in Horatio Hornblower. Not having watched either of the Fantastic Four movies, how was I to know he'd become such a star? And he's too young for me and engaged to boot. Life is unfair.
I remember wanting to stay up late and watch Outer Limits when I was about 7-8 yrs old. My dad finally relented and let us stay up past 8:00 to watch it- we got to watch one show and our TV broke. The neighbor had a good TV, though, so we would walk down to his house and watch it and walk home in the dark. We lived out on a farm and had to walk passed these dark barns to get home- talk about scarry! Those old barns were just full of aliens and blob monsters and creepy skeletons and vampires!
Yikes!!!!
I'm still scared of vampires even though I am 54 yrs old!
As a kid I watched a lot of Mr. Ed Gunsmoke Have Gun Will Travel (my dad's favorite and I had to watch it with him) Twilight Zone Outer Limits
but my all time favorite is
The Addams Family (the show, not the movies). As a child I loved their house, their furnishings, their way of life - in other words, I wanted to be the Addams Family. I am still looking for that perfect Queen Anne style Victorian house and all the weird furnishings to go in it. My husband does know this, and he says what ever makes me happy. We will see.

"Be what you would seem to be--or, if you'd like it put more simply--Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise." from "Alice in Wonderland"
Remember Winky Dink on Saturday morning. You could order the magic :Saran Wrap" to place on the T.V. screen to decode secret messages. Then my favorite was Mosby's Rangers. Most of the time I was outside with my dogs hunting and rambling in the woods.
All Creatures Great and Small (yes-I'm in the veterinary business now) The Professionals Anything Python including Fawlty Towers The Young Ones Ultraman (remember that old gem?) Scrubs (new show I know but very good)
