I dream of Jeannie kicks ass.  Especially Bewitched's ass.

Barbara Eden

Nobody better post a recent pic of her tho.

I love how the guy asked for a recent tv show and people are suggesting shows from the 1980-1990s (Father Ted) or movies (Shaun of the Dead).

Tamas: Guys, know any good recent tv shows?
Languish: Yeah, you must see "Gone with the Wind"

Shaun of the Dead was from the 1980s-1990s?

Could have fooled me - I thought it came out in 2004. 

Where did I say Shaun of the Dead was from 1980s-1990s?

Bad examples. The Wire was better than all those. As was Deadwood, SFU, and a host of other shows. Enterprise was better than people here think, also... better than Voyager, and DS9 at the very least.

All you seem to be saying here, based on your examples, is that you like TV shows that are on HBO and so not bound by the content restrictions of the other channels.  The Wire, Deadwood, SFU...all HBO.

I watched Enterprise, but it is not as good as TNG, which was 10 years prior.

I don't see how your point about HBO is relevant - these shows are just better than shows produced in 1980s or 1970s.

What was your point in mentioning it then?

Fringe is great imho (which really is the only opinion that matters) also if 30 Rock doesn't make you laugh you need to seek help. I'm digging that new show "The Unusuals" very quirky.

Quirky, but I can't for the life of me understand why the Christian guy doesn't shoot his old friend, right in the head.

Actually this, of all stupid crap ever uttered on Languish about how something old was better than what we have now, is the biggest of them all.

"Meathead, why don't you go take a flyin' leap into Lake Polack!"

This is like saying that movies are better than TV shows.  They have different rules, so you can't compare them directly.

Tamas : Original 90210

[Octavian]

Dexter

A great show

[Viking]

Ah, Sledge. If only that were available.  Doctor Who, new and old.  Stay away from Torchwood.  Too many gay scenes and terrible writing.

Sledge is available.

Generally, I think that this is correct. There were some great shows in the "good old days" (Hill Street Blues, for example) but the addition of so many new sources for TV means that there are more good TV shows nowadays than ever.

Tamas was asking about TV shows, not movies.  Marti's comment is thus applicable, though I had to read it twice to get that connection, myself.
