We've got the movie thread. What are our favorite TV shows?

I grew up with The Wonder Years. The main character and I were the same age, same grades, and I even had a girl like Winnie Cooper around. Plus the neighborhood it was filmed in reminded me of mine. I actually think it was filmed in mine a few times...

These days I've got Deadwood holding my attention again. My mom got me the 3 seasons on DVD for the holidays. I've been watching a few a night.

-The Amazing Race
-House
-Desparate Housewives
-Dragon's Den
-Top Gear
-Coupling (BBC version)
-The Office (US and UK versions)
-Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares (UK version - the abomination that Fox do blows)
-Mythbusters

I'm not a big fan of most of the stuff on TV here in the states, too much reality TV or unimaginative sitcoms. When I'm back in the UK I feel I have so much to choose from

I absolutely love The Simpsons - even the few new episodes I've seen lately (I think I've caught two this season), despite that many people tell me they've gone downhill. I have seasons 1-11 on DVD and have watched 1-9, plus the first 3 disks of 10, in their entirety - including the commentaries. And they have a commentary on every episode!

I have watched about half of the first season of Dexter and, while it's good, it isn't quite living up to what I thought it would be.

In the list of shows not still on the air, Futurama is another of my favorites. Yes, I watched the every episode commentary on this one, too. I'm also a big fan of Angel and Firefly . I haven't watched the commentary on Buffy or Angel yet (not every episode has one, which may be a blessing for my schedule), since I haven't finished watching the series and there were spoilers in a Firefly commentary.

My absolute favorite show is "The Unit" on CBS.
I also like CSI, NCIS, Cold Case, Without a Trace ect.
Don't care for sitcoms. Loved MASH though. I have the entire boxed set.
Probably a few others I like, but The Unit is the only one I'll make an effort to watch every week.

We've got the movie thread. What are our favorite TV shows?

I have many tapes with "Cheers" and "Seinfeld" and watch them for fun. Last night, I was viewing the highlights tape of "Seinfeld" and saw some scenes that I had forgotten---like George with a wig until Elaine flung it out the window; dancing by Kramer, George, and God help us, Elaine; George racing some handicapped people in their scooters; Kramer under inquistion by THE General---the Postmaster General; the Soup Nazi--"No soup for YOU!!"; George's Dad (Jerry Stiller) screaming about "Serenity NOW!" as George asks him if he is supposed to yell it out and he says, "They did not make that clear". As for golf, how about the episode where George saves the beached whale, and finds his breathing spout plugged with a golf ball, and Kramer, who had been hitting balls into the ocean, asked, "Is it a-----Titleist?"

I do not watch many current TV shows. However, I have tapes or DVD's of shows like "Rawhide" with Clint Eastwood, "Maverick" with Jim Garner, "Colombo" with Peter Falk (I feel so sorry for him and his family), "Wanted Dead or Alive" with Steve McQueen, and "Have Gun, Will Travel" with Richard Boone (one of the best actors who ever lived).

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
