Tales From The Darkside
It was on at an unusually early hour for a horror show. Young BF could not stop himself from watching it either. Holy cow did it freak me out, many nights lying awake in bed. I can still see that damn cat writhing around in that persons bowel then crawling up and out their mouth. Proly why I don't like cats. :dunno:

Favorite show of my entire life right now, like if I could only watch 1 show for the next year this would be it, or favorite show that when it was airing new episodes my level of excitement/like for it was higher than any other show during it's prime?
I just realized that it doesn't matter, the answer is the same: Secret Girlfriend.

like...let's say your memory was erased and you could only pick one show to be able to watch again and you'd have that show dvr'd so you could watch it again and again and again. that's the hypo for this thread.

tie between Seinfeld and South Park

The Sopranos. It's like, not even close for me.

what would you guys say the odds are that daris has even seen an episode of wonder years?

Daris! I think Wonder Years is the most sweetly written TV show I've ever seen. What's your favorite epi?
Mine is Coda, where Kevin remembers his foray into piano lessons, and has to come to terms with coming in second place to Ronald Hershmeller, and ultimately face the regret he has after he quit. From that episode, the two narratives that start and end the show absolutely break my heart every time I hear them:
When you're a little kid, you're a little bit of everything: Artist, scientist, athlete, scholar. Sometimes it seems like growing up is a process of giving those things up, one by one. I guess we all have one thing we regret giving up, one thing we really miss - that we gave up because we were too lazy, or we couldn't stick it out, or because we were afraid.
I never did forget that night. I remember the light glowing from Mrs. Carpell's window. And I remember the darkness falling as I sat out there on the street looking in. And now, more than 20 years later, I still remember every note of the music that wandered out into the still night air. The only thing is, I can't remember how to play it anymore.
Daris - Bringonthecats and I always argue about this, but were you more of a Becky Slater or Winnie Cooper fan?
-
Scrubs. obviously.

many great questions. don't know my favorite show, but the above listed one that I gave would have to be top five. it's incredible.
winnie vs Becky is tough. they are real life sisters and producers had to choose between which one would be winnie. in the end I'd say they made the right choice and I'd have to go with winnie. rewatch the show that I listed above and try to tell me I'm wrong.

costanza is the greatest creation that television has ever produced.

1. The memory erase thing is a twist I was not expecting. In that case (and more thinking about it), I'd have to flip a coin between Seinfeld and Friday Night Lights.
2. Dlew, mrs. hamburglar wanted me to add that her choice is The Wonder Years and Coda is her favorite episode of all time. (She also said she hopes Robin doesn't find out that you got your sauce recipe out of an old Betty Crocker cookbook).

Yeah, I mean, I get what you're saying, but it just seems like Winnie sucks. Maybe it's because she's just in so many episodes. I just don't like her. It's like, "Gosh, another episode where Winnie is being super flakey and upset with Kev. Weird." Plus, that guitar riff every time she comes in. So annoying. Kevin's crazy about her, but I don't like her. And she's so serious. I don't know. Maybe I just resent Winnie, because I know how everything ends up. Gimme fling-Becky Slater any day. She's such a bad girl. Exactly the kind of girl junior high Kevin doesn't even know he wants.
Re. Your episode:
I LOVE IT. The Matt "what's your x favorite movie stars/activities/songs/ etc" thing is incredible. When I get a little sauced up, I love employing that tactic. Plus the "kind of ---- you'll never forget forever" thing. Also, the "right on the eye" part. So funny. Everyone can identify with that.
BTW, you linked part 3 twice.

i get what you're saying and don't really disagree expect to say that slater was nuts. like boil a rabbit nuts. you'd be looking for a way out before a month was up. winnie is that girl that should've worked out but timing was bad or she moved away or whatever and you'll just always kind of have to wonder...
also, that last episode was such a rip off. they filmed that ending scene with the cast thinking that they were all coming back for one more season. then abc hatched a plan, voiced it over and called it a day. horrible that they did that.

the wonder years is a good pick. twin peaks and northern exposure would both be up there.

seth green
dustin diamond
mark paul gosselaar

Probably South Park or Mad Men
Hon. Mention: SportsCenter circa Dan Patrick / Keith Olbermann / Kenny Mayne / Rich Eisen
Nostalgia Mention: Rocky and Bullwinkle, (Cold War, eff the Russians!) 8dadpick would check these tapes out and watch them with 8bropick and I as kids.

Either Scrubs or Sopranos

Twin Peaks is incredible but man that stretch of 11 or so episodes in season 2 before the finale were just brutal. Everything else is perfect though.

I get the jokes. They're awful. Big Bang Theory is probably the most polarizing show to come along in a long-ass time. Can't stand that crap, yet other people flip.
-
I know this probably doesn't deserve on any "top" lists, but Parks and Rec has provided some awesome characters. Ron Swanson :love:

daris, if you haven't figured it out already, dlew's team becky slater while i'm more of a team winnie cooper. personally, i identify more with becky, but i will firmly stand by my view that winnie and kevin are meant to be together, hence my allegiance to team winnie. and let's be honest guys, they're both bitches. just like all girls! winnie's a nicer bitch though, she means well.

Remember the Wonder Years where Kevin and his dad build the tree house?
-
Oh man. The Wonder Years is absolutely the definition of poignant.
-
as a kid - Erie Indiana or Amazing Stories.
As an adult - probably LOST or Mad Men.
Anyone who thinks HIMYM is good after season 2 should be beaten with a rubber hose. Yes, I still watch, only because I've come this far I need closure.
-
I have never even cracked a smile watching how i met your mother.

The Wonder Years was a fantastic show. I liked the poker game episode, it was in the last season IIRC. Also, when you're watching the series finale it tends to get a little dusty inside your house.

I've noticed they make a few errors in their logic just so they can say big words that sound smart. Kind of how in Back to the Future there is a flux capacitor and red liquid plutonium...

i agree, as time has gone on HIMYM has definitely gotten worse...i loved the first few seasons so much though, it deserves a spot on my list.

the wonder years? seriously. don't be dumbasses :lol:
ya great show fellas and botc, really great show. i watch it all the time because it's still on because it was so good and obviously from this thread, it was really popular too. i wish they would start to air it 5 nights a week. imagine the world would be a better place if they did. well i guess that settles it, i'm going to pen a letter to abc and see if i can get this move completed. thanks for the idea fellas.

Really makes you appreciate the staying power of Seinfeld. It still is fan-freaking-tastic yet had the handicap of a laugh track. Watch an episode of Cheers and see how poorly it aged compared to Seinfeld

it had the heart attack guy from mad men, the blond from modern family, the gas guy from dumb and dumber, michael ian black, jim gaffigan had a small recurring role.. there were ten dollar bets :love:

I always felt like they were way too rough ridin' pushy with wanting you to like the main character. Like "Hey, this guy is super rough ridin' likeable, so you know like him a whole lot." And I'm all "If he's so rough ridin' great, then just let it happen on its own and stopping rough ridin' pushing him on me all the time!" JFC. So off-putting. Might as well have tried attempted date raping me as a marketing campaign.

it had the heart attack guy from mad men, the blond from modern family, the gas guy from dumb and dumber, michael ian black, jim gaffigan had a small recurring role.. there were ten dollar bets :love:
seriously guys, it was pretty fantastic.
j-dub, I missed your post earlier...but yes, ED was fantastic.
oh man :excited: we are totally tv besties!! seinfeld, fnl and ed. what a triumvirate.

tiny toons
oh man i loved that show growing up. my mom had to make special trips to specific grocery stores to buy me the tiny toons cereal. also, the episode where the characters sing oldies songs is the greatest.
Ever watch the Tiny Toons movie "How I Spent My Summer Vacation?" Twas a classic. It's coming to DVD this month. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00846OYHM

My favorite I think was the halloween episode where tim has to pretend he has Aspergers and the Boss makes him say mean stuff to all the people he doesn't like because he can blame it on "his condition."
The Boss and his dachshund (Keith) were dressed as Hall and Oates.
And, yeah, Stuballs was incredible.

Yes! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtJ05l_r6aE&feature=related (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtJ05l_r6aE&feature=related). Just super, super stuff.
Also, The Priest episodes. "The sin is in the meat." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnLNYYn-Hug&feature=related (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnLNYYn-Hug&feature=related).
Plus, The Boss on jazz. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1zWM7FgcGA&feature=related (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1zWM7FgcGA&feature=related).
Tim gets fired with great condom use overkill line. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=yFbnpbOFJrs&NR=1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=yFbnpbOFJrs&NR=1).

Absolutely loved it. However, if I have to watch reruns, I need more than 3 (or whatever it was) seasons or I might go nuts.

I like the first couple of seasons of LOST a lot! I like the first few seasons of the office a lot! maybe I could create a super show were members of the office are on the island and then flashbacks take place in Scranton the electric city.

That's a pretty great list except I never watched Justified.

I love Justified, but it needs another season or two of greatness.

Most of the great shows have been mentioned. I would add The State, Cheers, and The Cosby Show. When I was a kid ALF was my favorite show, but I saw a rerun some years later and thought it was awful.

LAS VEGAS!!!!
jk, but kinda serious. If I'm in front of a T.V. in the 11am-1pm time slot, you bet your ass I'm watching Las Vegas re-runs on TNT. I literally can't start watching one and not finish, it's saddening.

Last time I went to Vegas we stayed at the Montecito. It's much nicer than it looks on TV

Dunno. TV can't get much better than when the host got stabbed on camera.

Hey, Gang. Your old pal CanCo here with a pretty big DNR. Normally I only like to post on KSU Cat-related topics, but I had to post in this one.
I’ve seen virtually every show that’s been mentioned in this thread. RD and Dlew, I agree that the Wonder Years is great. Jakesie60 and KatKid, Breaking Bad is my favorite show currently on TV and one of the best shows I’ve ever seen.
But it’s AppleJack who has it right.
I’m going to just guess that those of you who have said anything besides “The Wire” just haven’t gotten around to seeing it yet. There’s literally (literally) nothing like it. Literally. It’s the only show I’ve seen every episode for, and want to watch them all again. It’s the only show worthy of an entire class at Harvard University (one of our sister schools). It’s the only show that I would bet dollars to Daylight Donuts SD would watch at least two episodes.
To put some of the shows mentioned in this thread in KSU Cat Fan terms:
The Wire: 1998 KSU Cats American Football Program
Something you’ll talk about/remember forever that never gets old. You can only really understand both if you experienced them. Aching for something like it to come back. Absolutely amazing, absolutely heartbreaking.
Breaking Bad: 2011 KSU Cats Purple University
A memorable star (Klein/Walt) who is like no one else. Lots of wild rides. Very solid performances from role players, lots of overachieving. Definitely in the conversation for most memorable, but no one who has seen it all would say it was the most talented.
Seinfeld: 2003 KSU State Football Wildcats
Some unforgettable stars and moments. Very high highs. Incredibly talented cast of characters, definitely in the HOF. But if you look at it with a closer lens, some pretty bad swings and misses (Marshall/early seasons of Seinfeld).
HIMYM/BBT: Any Ron Prince/Wooly/Asbury team
Some big moments I guess (?). Some people like mediocrity.
Boy Meets World/Saved By The Bell: Those Krazy Kopper Bowl WildKats
Man oh man does it get any better than this?! Turns out that it does. It gets way better. But at the time, you think it’s the greatest thing that could ever happen to you.
Do yourself a favor and go down to your local library. ( :cyclist: ) Get a library card. Check out Season 1 if you can. (If you do it this way, you’ll get to watch the season all at once, rather than waiting on Netflix to send you two episodes at a time.) Oh, just note: I said “if you can” because the show has been over for like, 8-10 years and it’s still getting checked out on the regular.
Or, spend the $$ and get HBOgo. (You are :kstategrad: after all.)
MODS: please change title of this thread to “favorite tv shows [because I haven’t seen The Wire yet]”
FTB. Go ‘Cats.
