Last night I finished watching episode 17 of the 1st season. I believe the whole show is on Youtube which saves me the hassle of downloading it 😀 I tried watching an episode of Hill Street Blues but I found it so boring that I couldn't watch the whole episode.
When I feel like watching something else, I watch this cartoon called Dragon Hunter 😀 Next on my list there are Cagney & Lacey, Moonlighting and Miami Vice and Enterprise. Yeah, I'm really getting into the 80's cop shows 😀 I like the simplicity, no mobile phones, very little computers, old cars and everything is just slower and less graphic.
The shows I enjoyed in the past were Due South, Southern Exposure, Star Trek TNG, Band of Brothers, Pacific, Battlestar Galactica, Firefly etc.
You're not alone, Hill Street Blues used to put me asleep back in the 80s. Although that could have had more to do with the fact I was maybe 7 or 8 years old at the beginning of its run and I was up past my bedtime?
Used to like Cagney & Lacey, Moon Lighting and MacGyver back in the day. MacGyver could fix your retro PC with a paperclip and bubblegum 😀 And Richard Dean Anderson is one of the few people I've ever seen that looked good with a mullet.
If I had the time, I'd like to watch the older Dr. Who episodes, Star Trek: TNG and Voyager from beginning to end. Maybe I'm spoiled by the newer Dr. Who episodes, but the older ones seem plodding now. Or maybe it is 30 years worth of MTV-style smash cuts that did this to me, I don't know. There are older movies I can watch, like most Hitchcock movies, and the pacing doesn't bother me but if I try to watch something like Andromeda Strain, it just seems so slow.
Currently I'm watching Halt and Catch Fire and had been watching Walking Dead but am contemplating ditching cable completely.
80's TV was the best. That was my generation. Magnum P.I., Airwolf, Knight Rider, Hunter, MacGuyver, The A-Team, Cheers, Miami Vice, ALF, Spenser For Hire, Quantum Leap, Growing Pains, Highway to Heaven, Night Court, Full House, Doogie Howser M.D., Mr. Belvedere, Hardcastle and McCormick, Riptide, Family Matters, Remington Steele, Matlock, Murder She Wrote, Too Close for Comfort, Trapper John, M.D., there was just so much good stuff to watch.
