Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford were great! And I'm a HUGE fan of Aaron Sorkin. The West Wing is my favorite TV show of all-time!!

Veronica Mars-even though the third season was not as good as the first two.
The Pretender-even though a lame made for USA movie was supposed to end the series.

My favorites:
Gunsmoke with Chester - "Mister Dillon!"
Rawhide - Rowdy Yates and Mr. Gil Favor. Head em up! Move ‘em out! Great song.
Have Gun, Will Travel - loved the chess piece on the holster. I think they changed the name to Palladin. Great song.
Bat Masterson.... right Vick? Great song.
Hopalong Cassidy because of his outfit which impressed me as a 6 year old. Had to have one.
Wanted: Dead or Alive - I converted my BB gun to a large loop lever.
Johnny Yuma - was awed by the LeMat revolver and Confederate kepi. Great song.
Wagon Train - Ward Bond. Was Wishbone on Wagon Train or Rawhide? I can’t remember.
Wyatt Earp - The Buntline Special.
Then there was:::
Roy Rogers confused me to no end... ridin’ the range on horseback... and jeeps?
Tonto was a lot smarter than Kemo Sabe.
Bonanza and others were politically correct before PC.

The original Dragnet or the one that aired on ABC a couple of years ago and now airs in repeats on the Sleuth channel? Just curious. I liked both.
Veronica Mars and Star Trek Enterprise

I never watched Veronica Mars, but Enterprise was an awesome show. I hated to see it go. I think it simply was on the wrong network, it would have done much better on one of the bigger ones.
The old original Dragnet
Arrested Development- (Bob Loblaw- Attorney-at-law)
Original Mission Impossible
Nash,
Movie Star Trek IX is due in 2008. I'm hoping it will jump start another TV series.

IMO, Star Trek 'Voyager' is THE best of the series.
Miami Vice might be nice to see again(anew), as well.

Wow, confussed, you brought back some memories with that post. Remember Captain Caveman and Hong Kong Phooey?
My picks are All in the Family, M.A.S.H., WKRP in Cincinnati, Taxi, Family Ties and Golden Girls.
I also loved Little House of the Prairie but they've given us enough Little House to last a lifetime over the years.

Love Miami Vice, but it was such a period piece, I wonder if it would translate well. Could come back as retro, I suppose.
Confussed, you did list some good ones!
I loved Happy Days. I also liked Laverne and Shirley ,Three's Company, One Day At A Time, MASH, Golden Girls, Empty Nest, Mary Hartman and SOAP.
they just don't make 'em like they used to...

Does anybody remember Land of the Lost? I watched it on Saturday mornings. The sleestacks scared the h3ll out of me! The episode that had Medusa on it gave me nightmares for weeks!
Oh my gosh, how could I have forgotten Wonder Woman?! HAHA...no, I thought I was her...lasso of truth and wristbands that could deflect bullets. Twirl & go female super hero.
Oh, and Isis...y'all remember her? And Shazam? Too funny.

Was it Space Giants?
Goldar, his lovely wife Silvar, they had a son named....Brasso? J/K.
They lived in a volcano with Methuselah...there was a bad guy...I keep thinking his name was Drakar...
The bad guy had these flunkies that were head to toe dark grey, like they were covered in ladies tights. No features. Goldar, Silvar and that kid could zap them with thier antennae on thier helmets and turn them into what looked like crushed blue ice...
Man, I loved that show. Oh! And it was full of Japanese folks. None of the talking matched what their mouths were doing.
The Sleestaks on Land of the Lost scared the hecks outta me too.

Land of The Giants only ran two seasons in 1968, but the special effects were cool. It was written/produced by Irwin Allen that also did Lost in Space, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and many others.....also another favorite i forgot to mention was Time Tunnel. That was a cool show.

Two Guys and a Girl (formerly Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place). It's not on DVD, but I'll be alerted by Amazon if it ever is. It became sort of a Friends clone, but it was great.
Arrested Development..amazes me how that show had to go while According to Jim ran so many seasons.
It's all about advertising dollars and audience share these days, but you can put a bland show in a great time slot, or have a show like Arrested Development not get 'great' ratings when not in a great time slot.

I miss Johnny Fever and Venus Flytrap.
Designing Women before Delta Burke left. I loved that show.
WKRP was on the air while my first hubby and i were in radion, but the stations we were at were at were never like that.
Gary Sandy (Andy Travis) and my (ex) husband went to broadcasting school (in Atlanta) together. Tom Mees was also in the class. He went on to work for ESPN.
I don't think the school exists anymore, but if it did they could claim that two out of three of their graduates make it to the big time....lol.

I agree with you about Roy Rogers,
To this day, my image of a cowboy is Randolph Scott.
Damm girl, you are a lot older than I thought.
(glad you can't find me now that I've said that, don't need another knot on my head)

I didn't way I wasn't old. I keep posting I'm old and decrepit.
I watched a lot of these when I was really little, for real. And a lot were reruns. But most of them were during my era.
Story: When I was about five and six and my brother a year and a half younger we loved to play "Roy Rogers and Dale Evans". I had to be Roy cause he was the boss. Dale did nothing. Steve didn't know that Dale was a girl so he went along, just being my sidekick. Then a cousin from Florida was playing with us one day and Steve told him I had to be Roy, he was Dale and the other guy could be somebody else. The cousin told Steve that Dale was Roy's WIFE. Without another word, my brother whomped me on the head with the baseball bat he was holding!
It didn't matter that the shows were black and white. We didn't have a color tv till I was married and 22. To watch the tv I grew up with we'd have to put aluminum foil on the antenna wire and move it up and down to bring in a picture.
We didn't get a TV at all until I was about 11. Of course it was B&W. Had an outside antenna Dad put up on a piece of pipe he had pulled out of the well. We could reach out the window, grab a leaver, and point the antenna to either Memphis, Nashville, or B'ham. That was all there was back then.
Before that, I used to listen to radio- Lone Ranger, Fibber McGee and Molly, and a couple more I can't remember right now. We did, however, go to bed pretty soon after dark.

We sometimes had an antenna, sometimes rabbit ears....when the weather was good we could sorta pick up a station or two from Huntsville, which was great because even us kids could only take so much Captain Jack and Earline in Storyland....
The first tv I saw had a round screen, like a port-hole. I was 6 at the time... 1950. I’m sure it had rabbit ears... or cloths hangers.
The show was about some boy diving down to get pearls and was being attacked by a giant octopus. I grew up loving the water and became a certified diver.
If I had known it was going to influence me thataway, I wish the show had been about making money.
