The Good Wife
Penny Dreadful

Good list! I can’t believe I left Gunsmoke off mine (an oversight since rectified). It holds a place of honor with me for a number of reasons.
Quote by elizabethblack As I think of them (and it may take a long time to remember them all) - Justified, The Sopranos,
A lot of my friends talk about Justified, but I’ve never watched it. I need to fix that situation, from all I’ve heard.
Hmmm. This is preliminary and may change a memories come back.
Doctor Who (original mostly, though I have seen about 3 seasons of the revival)
Monty Python's Flying Circus
Fawlty Towers (yes, I like British comedy)
Blackadder
Star Trek, original and TNG
Twin Peaks
Cheers
MASH
Night Court
Halloween looms and my annual story is here. Is it a trick? Or a treat? Let me know.

Corner Gas (extremely popular Canadian show)
Tonight Starring Jack Paar (he followed Steve Allen leading this show)
Love, Sidney (Tony Randall and Swoosie Kurtz)
The Great British Baking Show (Just what it says)
Absolutely Fabulous (Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley)

The Curse of Oak Island
Peter Gunn
77 Sunset Strip
Rockford Files
As a kid, I loved the Jack Webb shows that were purportedly "based on real life". Things like Adam-12 (police) and Emergency (fireman-paramedics). They were basically just recruiting videos for the first responder services in the end. Not sure how they'd hold up if I watched them again today.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana
Today I was watching the latest (in the UK at least) episode of Chicago Fire. It led me to remembering an old TV show called 'Til Death us do part' which featured a bigot called Alf Garnett. So, you may ask, how is that connected to Chicago Fire?
Watch...

Wasn't Alf the inspiration for Archie Bunker in All in the Family? I haven't seen 'Til Death..., just remember reading that somewhere.
