Something nonpolitical for a Sunday.

Below are their top five TV shows to rewatch.
As always with lists like these, your mileage may vary.

1. Friends
2. The Simpsons
3. House
4. The Office
5. Cheers

And among older voters:

1. The Simpsons
2. Seinfeld
3. The Twilight Zone
4. M*A*S*H
5. Looney Tunes

And gee, Wally. The Eddie Haskell Show didn't make the main list at all.
And it was only #89 on the older voters' list.

Any list without The Andy Griffith Show at the top or near is bogus.

Old TV series, including westerns, have been put out on DVD, or on YouTube or in reruns on third-tier TV stations.

It’s enjoyable seeing some of the actors, especially ones who have gone on to movie fame (or just gone on), even though the shows seem more formulaic and the plots more predictable. Some of the fashions, hairstyles, and dialogue of the 60s and 70s are a lot more outlandish than I remember when I originally watched the shows.

Screw M*A*S*H.

The US Army is ALWAYS stupid.
The North Koreans are ALWAYS nice guys, put upon by the mean ol' US.
The ROK are sadistic thugs.
The Marines are stupid thugs.
The Air Force are dreamy zoomies who fly home for dinner and clean sheets.
The Soviets? MASH writers never heard of them.
The Chinese? Joined the Soviets in the Memory Hole.

I kept hoping that US artillery would land short on the O Club...

The Honeymooners would be on my list. I always laughed hard watching Jackie and Art interact.

Their idea of “old” is pretty young. Remember, FReepers skew traditional culturally. The Simpsons and Seinfeld are after I pretty much stopped watching new TV, and I’m only middle aged (55). Twilight Zone and Looney Tunes were good choices, though.

1. Burns and Allen
2. I Love Lucy
3. Dick Van Dyke
4. The Prisoner
5. Perry Mason (but only if you forgot what happened)

Wow, am I out of the loop on this one. Only Seinfeld and Loony Tunes would make my list.

We've been binge watching the following shows for a few years now: 24 (watch a whole season in one sitting! WHEW!), House, Breaking Bad, Last Man Standing, Justified, to name a few...
