Your favorite tv shows NOW vs. your favorite tv shows of all time

[Elskidor]

I don't get too crazy about most shows, but I've watched more this decade than any other. Highlander from the 90's was my favorite back then but it's aged so terribly I know I just keep watching it because I'm a fanboy and not because it's spectacular.

80's He-Man/She-Ra cartoon (laughably cheesy now)
90's Highlander and Animated X-Men
2000's up to current - LOST/GoT/BB

Close enough to a top 5 if cartoons are ignored.

Some shows I've watched and liked but they either fell apart after a couple seasons or I'm just a dirty casual viewer.

Highlander may not stand the test of time, as far as quality goes. Still got the best intro theme, ever, though.

I'm not following any shows nowadays. I'm not sure when it happened -- possibly in the late '80s or early '90s -- or how it happened, but over time I've found it increasingly difficult to just sit still and watch things. I might watch a video once a year at home, and go to the movies once every 2 or 3 years.

I do have a few favourite shows from the past, though:

Max Headroom
Monty Python's Flying Circus
Red Dwarf
The Tick
Danger Mouse
Get Smart
Fawlty Towers
Star Trek - TOS
The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
and the 1960s Batman, especially now that I get all the jokes I missed when I was 9 years old.

Going in chronological order:

Loony Tunes/Merry Melodies
Gummi Bears
Tom and Jerry
Duck Tales
Pokemon. Mostly the first season.
Batman: The Animated Series
Animaniacs
Buffy: The Vampire Slayer
Angel
Avatar: The Last Airbender
Swamp People
Bones

I can still recite a good bit of the Gummi Bears theme from memory, as well as Pokemon. Those are the ones that stick out most in my memory. I have been gravitating more towards live action as I grow older, but animation can still be good. Especially Japanese animation. I could probably think of other ones, but that's a good running list there.

I don't watch TV any more, but my all-time faves from when I did are "Barney Miller" and "Seinfeld".
