Question

The Official TV Thread

Just thought I'd start a thread where we can all share what we've all been watching.

I'm just finishing the fifth and final series of The Gentle Touch starring the lovely Jill Gascoigne as DI Maggie Forbes. It's a programme from the 80s and is excellent.

Next up for me is the second series of Monkey, known as Monkey Magic in the States I think. If you haven't seen it then you HAVE to check it out. It's a Japanese programme from the 80s that tells the legend of Monkey, Piggsy, Sandy and Tripitaka who travel through Asia to pick up the Buddhist Sacred Scrolls. Some may be familiar of the legend from the video game Enslaved: Odyssey Of The West.

I love rewatching stuff from the 70s and 80s regularly, they don't make telly like that any more which is a real shame. All we seem to see these days is mostly reality TV bollocks with the odd gem hidden here and there. :(

So what are you guys and girls watching?

    I will be REALLY happy when people forget about all this zombie nonsense. :D

    What about other shows like anime, scifi or good old fashioned sitcoms?

    I like Fear The Walking Dead and The Walking Dead too. Haven't watched the last two series of the former yet though.


     Naaaah, once Frank Darabont the creator of Walking Dead (and a great Film Director) left after the first season because they cut his budget in half, even tho it was AMC's biggest hit, and after the ABYSMAL and boring second season 2 I said NOPE to the Walking Dead. He had a huge much better vision, this should have been a HBO or Netflix show.

    I liked The Walking Dead enough at the start that I bought the bluray of season 1.
    But after that, I actually find Z Nation is a more interesting and enjoyable zombie series.

    I haven't tried Fear The Walking Dead yet, it's not available on any of the three tv services I'm already paying for.

    Wow, I completely forgot about that series, Harry And The Hendersons was great too. Might have to download those now!

    We're about two series into Friends yet again. Just as we got to the end of series 1, it started on TV again - but we'll stick with the DVDs. Bought the entire set from ebay and they turned out to be pirated. We weren't sure to start with, but by the time we did know for sure, it was too late to do anything (takes a long time to watch 10 series).

    Zombie's will live forever sir!

    As for Anime... I'm a huge Naruto fan.

    Couldn't really get into Naruto or Bleach or that.  Go figure.  I like Anime because of the exaggerated emotions and the transformations.....Even if some of the transformations look painful as hell.  Here is one example from Digimon Season 3.

    ouch!

    I really like the new Voltron series. I was never a lion voltron fan, as a kid I preferred the vehicle team voltron series. But the new one on netflix is really well made.

    The actual robot design, however, I'm not a fan of. The absolute best giant robot design has to be Dix Neuf from the series Aim For The Top 2 (also known as Gun Buster 2 and Die Buster). A giant robot that fights shirtless with a cape, eye patch and chainsaw fist. :)
    (Well, not really an eye patch, but looks like it)
