I don't know "Giligan's Island", I'm going to look for this show, I trust in you haha

Thanks.

It's an old show. It was made before our time. It's a sitcom that aired on CBS from 1964 to 1967. I used to watch it a lot when I was little. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilligan%27s_Island

Never heard of giligan's island? really?

[InDiGa]

Thank you MistyTiger! This show seems funny!

MB, I have never heard of this, I am from Spain and I was born more than 20 years after the show ended.

I only watch television shows online, and then I watch one series at a time from beginning to end, kind of like reading a novel.

My all-time fave is a legal thriller/psycho-drama type thing with Glenn Close called Damages. I just love that.

Other than Toddlers & Tiaras, I can't really think of any other shows I've gotten excited about, except maybe House of Cards with Ian Richardson.

[Stormsmith]

That's how we do it too. His Nibs down-loads completed series, puts them onto Media Gate, then we watch them in 2 hour chunks, on Sunday nights. My brother-in-law comes for dinner. I'm considering cancelling cablevison, since we really only use it for news. Google news could fill the breach.

[ralfy]

Definitely "I, Claudius", as mentioned earlier, together with "Decalogue," "Shogun," "The Prisoner" (1967), and "Barney Miller".

[Red Barn]

Oh, I forgot about The Prisoner.

I'm considering cancelling cablevison . . .

Go for it. There's tons of news online. (I've never had cable, haven't owned a television set in like 15 years, and can still converse with civilized people in most walks of life.)

[Decky]

Oh, I forgot about The Prisoner.

The finest thing ever put on TV, the election episode is particularly amazing.

[Joe Liberty]

My all-time fave is a legal thriller/psycho-drama type thing with Glenn Close called Damages. I just love that.

We really enjoyed the first couple of seasons, but lost track of it when it went to another "network" (DirectTV? I don't recall.) Was the last season as good as the first two?
