Anyone in to old tv shows?

Mork and Mindy is a good shout. Never seems to be shown on any of the usual TV channels, I wonder why?

'cos it was pretty rubbish when it originally aired!

I have a fondness for old police procedurals and then some. Holmes, Christie, Poirot, Bergerac, Cracker, Dalziel & Pascoe, Lewis, Morse & Kavanagh QC (big fan of John Thaw and was gutted when he passed), Prime Suspect, Frost, Rebus, Silent Witness, Taggart.

Funnily enough, I could never get into Columbo. Also hated The Bill.

Yeah, the change is remarkable. I thought the HD versions on Netflix were perfectly fine, but this is so much better.

Also, something a bit silly, but each episode starts at chapter 2, if you go back to chapter 1 at the start it'll show the BBC timing clock and episode info on the chalk board. Sometimes a bit of the warm up chap. Just because it was on the studio masters, they've put it on the blurays. :eek:

The only thing that's missing is commentary from the Pythons really, but with 1 dead, 1 with dementia and unable to speak anymore (

Poor Terry Jones), and the other 4 all over the world... highly unlikely to have happened.

One of the few times Sean Bean doesn't come with his own personal spoiler as to the fate of the character.
I very clearly remember the one with a young Liz Hurley looking mighty fine.

I’ve been watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer with the young ‘un. Was pretty shocked to discover it was over 20 years old! Still superb and very watchable apart from the crap third series.

We've made it to the last series of Lost (now ten years old) and it's still as mind mending as ever.

Personally I loved the ending and thought it summed up the whole series fantastically.

Many others I'm sure will disagree . . . .

ivrytwr3 · 27 Mar 2020 at 09:27

Disagree - huge letdown and easy way out for the writers.

But what a series up until that point!

Usher · 27 Mar 2020 at 09:32

Currently watching and enjoying 'Man about the house' on ITV3

Columbo. Just one more thing....

After recently watching Knives Out I really fancy watching these again!

Lartyconshayo · 28 Mar 2020 at 20:48

They are so much fun. Ignore the 80/90's comeback ones. The 70's are the best

MissChief · 28 Mar 2020 at 21:15

With the new Netflix Spenser abomination everyone should go back and watch the TV series from the 80's. It still holds up. And Avery Brooks as Hawk. Yes that Sisko from DS9.

If you want to watch a 1970's supernatural hunting newspaper reporter then Kolchak is the man. A couple of TV films and a one season TV series but it really is very good. Darren McGavin is really good as the reporter Kolchak. Might be a little hard to get but it is really worth a watch.
