The amount of 'cool vehicle' tv shows in the 80s was insane.

Airwolf
Simon & Simon
Miami Vice
Magnum PI
Fall Guy
Hardcastle & McCormick



I wouldn't want to be the stunt guys on Airwolf...crazy stuff:

Fools...... thinking mere missiles and guns can bring down the Airwolf...Lol

Also Frisky Dingo. The absolute perfect sweet spot between Sealab (too weird and unstructured) and Archer (not weird enough and too structured).

Off the top of my head...

Kids in the Hall
Seinfeld
Chappelle Show
Breaking Bad
Louie
Son of Zorn
Looney Tunes
Tour of Duty
Inside Amy Schumer

Seinfeld and Louie are probably my two favorite live action comedies ever. Louie took the show about nothing from Seinfeld, eliminated the 3 act structure and just ran with it. Incredible show.

Kids in the hall was great too. It's funny that the content cbc approved back then would never ever be shown today on network tv.

I wonder if the crew was still interested if everything Netflix or Amazon or someone would give them a shot again.

Loved

The Jeffersons
All in the Family
Sanford & Son
The Fat Albert Show

as a kid growing up... They could not do All in the Family today, as people would be offended because of Archie (even though the point of Archie was to show the offensive stuff out there and get people talking about it)


It's funny how many conservative/right wing folks out there love Archie Bunker. They don't realize Archie was the butt of every damned joke of the show.

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

We could really use this guy on tv right now.

Well, apparently Murphy Brown is coming back.

They did a short series a few years back called "Death Comes to Town" which wasn't bad but not quite the same, worth a watch though if you're a KITH fan. They also did a live show with new skits at the NAC a year or two ago and it was hilarious throughout. Would be awesome to see that group on TV again.

The Sopranos & Breaking Bad. Those 2 shows are the all time best imo.

Love Better Call Saul and really really stoked about The Many Saints of Newark coming up.

Breaking Bad is my all-time favourite tv show, I won a set visit during season 4 and I was an extra at the hospital in the episode "End Times". I also got to see them filming at the White family house including the scenes when Walt was spinning the gun in the backyard and the very last shot of season 4 which was a major spoiler, I was sworn to secrecy by Vince Gilligan.

currently Westworld is freaking awesome, but no idea how the new season was or is, I have a 3 year old, and I remember what Tv was like.

Looks like The Shield is on Hulu. I had a major deal die yesterday so my weekend is free. It’s binge o’clock.
