I have a Real Life Bubbles living right across from me.
Looks just like him, acts just like him, talks just like him...
Has his kitties...

I was just talking to him 20 minutes ago.
One of his cats just developed a bald spot.
If not for gov assistance he too would be living in a shed.
I see him all the time hauling boxes of cat litter from the Walgreens down the street.

“Best War Documentary Series: “The World At War” “

BBC version is better than the Time Life series.

I urge everyone to watch the BBC series. Very good at explaining the origins of WW II, and does a great following the timeline of the war.

Dick Van Dyke was one of my favorites. It was clever and pretty sophisticated for its time.

I would say now though that Indy Neidell’s Series on YouTube has probably surpassed any TV Documentary.

Both the WWI and WWII series.

Nobody mentioned my favorite show of all time:

The Shield.

Seven full seasons made to be binge-watched—the ultimate adrenaline rush—never lets up...

Sci-fi: Babylon Five mentioned earlier in the thread

Second favorite police show: The Wire

and of course Breaking Bad—every time I watch it I see many new things—brilliant series.

I read through all of the comments and no one mentioned “The Wonder Years”. Shocked and surprised!
