Dark Shadows–that show literally saved me from school bullies and helped me to discover my own talents. I think that Dark Shadows is also the reason why one of my daughters is a professional in the entertainment industry today.
The Unit–great show that gave me a lot of appreciation for our military, especially the Special Forces.
The Flintstones–so much creativity! And I LOVE the animals, especially the garbage disposal! I want one of them!
Scorpion–a great program that showed what “brains” are capable of. I wish it wouldn’t have gone off the air before the romance between Walter and Paige was settled. And my favorite actor, Robert Patrick, had one of his best moments when he rappelled down the dam–he was really doing that, it wasn’t CGI! His wife came to watch him the day it was filmed! She was probably praying he wouldn’t die! (They are Christians.)
Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman–our whole family used to watch it, and my daughters still indulge in occasional binge-watching during holidays when the weather is bad. Hope this doesn’t sound trite, but the men in that show were so good-looking!
One more (sorry, it’s hard to limit it to five–great topic, though!)–Arrested Development I was hooked from the very first show, and I kept trying to convince my family to watch it. FINALLY my older daughter started it from the beginning–and she didn’t move away from the TV (other than bathroom trips) for many many hours–she loved it! And then my husband decided to give it a try–same thing happened to him! The humor, the quirkiness, the acting, the script–it was an amazing show! Whenever I see frozen chocolate-covered bananas, I just have to buy one.
Again, great topic. Thanks, and I love reading about everyone’s favorite TV shows!
