I hate Seinfeld and always will, except for the Soup Nazi episode. That show makes Scrubs enjoyable.

I love watching Friends reruns, partly because I grew up with the show and it's nostalgic, and partly because it's nice to watch something that I can laugh at without thinking. I love intelligent television, but I'm not that much of a snob that I can't be low-brow every now and then. :D

In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.

Are you suggesting that the TV show that contains my Idol, the man I wish to be like when I grow up, is not funny?

(I'm referring to Scrubs, here.)

Sorry man, but I don't find Scrubs funny at all, and I find the show too obviously moralistic.

I'm enjoying re-runs of Will and Grace

I think that Three's a Company isn't that funny any longer

The original was so much better...
Even after it switched to color.

I never watched the original, but have many fond memories of the new series. It was a nice childhood memory for me. I used to be completely obsessed with vampires. . . :biggrin:
The original was true gothic soap opera.
Half hour weekday daily show that ran for five years.

Dark Shadows

Sounds interesting, Menolly. . . just never got around to getting the old series. Maybe some day.

As for Scrubs, I hear that it's funny, but I tend to watch limited quantities of network tv, and when I do it tends to be something dramatic. *shrugs*

i find scrubs to be the only tv comedy that i enjoy. and it seems to hold up to multiple viewings. and the best eps (Oz, Waiting For My Real Life) are about the best tv available.

The one with the three transplant patients made me cry the first dozen or so times I watched it.

Of course I used to love the THUNDERBIRDS, UFO and SPACE :1999. I have several episodes of SPACE and for the most part it holds up pretty well. I've seen bits and bobs of TBIRDS and UFO and I cringe at some parts. I guess it depends on my mood.

UFO?!?

Wow, haven't though about that in years....

I don't remember ever hearing about UFO. . .

I miss Beauty and the Beast. As you may guess, I had a huge crush on the Vincent, Beast. :D
