They don't make it like they used to. What's your childhood favorite tv show? Have you go back to any of the older show recently?

for me it's Cleopatra 2525, same head writer and producers as Xena, but better. Sadly canceled after 2 seasons

>it was shit

There was nothing shit about that show but the budget.

They squeezed every penny out of it, too. It's a fun, story-coherent series that is absolutely worth watching.

You sound like one of those closeted dumbasses who refuses to watch anything produced before 2010 because "it's shit".

Jack of All Trades, the show that run back-to-back with Cleopatra 2525, was also pretty fun. Quite horny as well. And the intro is a banger:

A Touch of Frost, Inspector Frost is the British version of Columbo, messy, poor everyman who is also a brilliant detective, although it uses the traditional whodunit format instead of the howcatchem style of Columbo

I've been thinking about watching Texas Ranger out of curiosity. Back then I was too little to ready care for it. Was it this show that cemented Chuck Norris' jokes or were they strong already when he played in movies?
>>
I'm currently re-watching Columbo.
It's pretty great. Basically all you need is Peter Falk and one good villain actor and it's all great from there.
I'm expecting it to go downhill once I hit the 90s episodes, I recall those were a lot worse.

Yeah, it was fucking Charisma Carpenter. The best girl taken from Buffy and made the best part of Angel (until she cuts her hair in season 3.)

Poirot up until the break after season six. (but it doesn't get excruciatingly bad until season ten through 13)
Sherlock Holmes Granada TV version with Jeremy Brett is great.
To a lesser extent Inspector Morse, A Touch of Frost and the Midsomer Murders.

Allegedly Maigret (the 1991-2005 version), Cadfael, Kojak and Murder She Wrote based on previous recs l but I haven't watched those yet.
>>
>>216994843
The best part of the show is when Columbo play with the murderer and watching the criminal reaction to his perfect plan crumbling right in front of him. That's why Suitable for Framing so far is my favorite episode, although I'm just at season 3.

Sliders worth a watch?
I've heard people glaze it for ages and I never saw an episode. John Rhys-Davies tends to be good in anything he's in.
>>
I watched so much of this stuff as a kid
Renegade
Highlander
Kung Fu
Time Trax
There was another one about a demon hunter I can't remember the name of right now. One episode had Bret Hart as the Devil's executioner.

It's pretty good, but the fifth season is a slog to get through. Either drop it during the 4th season or be prepared to suffer through the shit ending.

You would think this would be the route streaming services would go to get a ton of cheap content but instead we get shit like the Disney+ Star wars crap that's like 300 million an episode and only 6 episodes total
>>
>>216993479
>but better
Disagree, but it's still fun. Watching through it now.
Cleo a cute too.

Almost a forgotten show these days.
>>216993738
Also good. The actress in it didn't do much afterwords for some reason, though she was good.

>liked Joxer
Me too. I was convinced he had a super hero level strength because he was always getting the shit kicked out of him with no physical damage.
But then one episode he does and ruins my head canon

>>216995036
If you enjoyed Poirot and Granada Holmes, it would be a travesty to exclude the Joan Hickson Marple series. The rest of them are varying degrees of rubbish, but as Suchet is Poirot and Brett is Holmes, Hickson IS Marple.

>>216994843
Imo I thought they were fine. It's mildly amusing seeing columbo against a backdrop that might as well be a 90s cop show. The final episode is still peak columbo.
>has the entire club applaud the owner for such a magnificent club, before nailing him to the wall with his explanation.

Even the worse columbo are still good.
Except that one where it's from the pov of the criminal and columbo shows up at the end with a gun for what I'm pretty sure is the only time- that one blows hard.
Brutal.
