babylon 5 was pretty good, and it's only 5 seasons, so it's good for a quick watch.

Early episodes of The Simpsons.
A few years back I went and downloaded - and saw every episode - of ones I used to love - Knight Rider, The A Team, Dukes of Hazard, Quantum Leap (and have downloaded the new and watch a few episodes,) I think that's about it of older ones.

How old is "old", because I have been kind of obsessed with Utopia(UK) recently. It is so good and the modern American remake just destroys every positive thing and replaces all subtext and subtlety with yelling, overacting, and overexplain what is going on like you are an infant.

Oh, other ones I had gotten were even older - the old Bob Newhart Show and Lou Grant.

Seinfeld. Still the funniest show ever made.

 

[Moongod]

This one can be damn hard to find these days but Shadow Warriors aka Kage no Gundan, an iconic Japanese ninja tv-series from the 80s with Sonny Chiba (and in later seasons a young Hiroyuki Sanada of recent Shogun fame!).
That show kicks all kinds of ass!

Damn, I haven't even heard about this before. I have half dozen movies from Sonny Chiba in my collection, Street Fighters and some samurai movies. Closest thing to that in tv-series I have is Lone Wolf and Cub (1973-76), which is not par with the movie series, but still nice.

My old top favourite series are Babylon 5, Star Trek the Next Generation and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
All of which I watch again once a while. At the moment I'm rewatching (slowly) Star Trek Deep Space 9.

 

[MattShizzle]

Oh yeah, the old Batman from the 60s that used to be on syndication all the time in the 1980s. The one with Adam West. And the song.

From across the pond I'd put in Are You Being Served?.

 

[JeksPr0nto]

I remember teen titans was good

 

[User_107292]

Y'all remember The Emperor's New School? Eartha Kitt and Patrick Warburton came back for Yzma and Kronk and it got them two daytime emmys. That was some damn good TV

 

[milkorus]

Rewatched almost all old Star Trek in the last year (TNG, Voy, DS9, ENT), and every one of them (even Enterprise, despite how people shat on it while it aired) is work of art compared to trash fire they are making now.

 

[Loliholic]

I mostly agree, however, Picard is the best of the new stuff, but i dont like what they did to Q.

 

[8dlb8]

Is "Alf" old enough for you?

 

[odspyykt]

Let's see from the top of my head...

A-Team, Air Wolf, original Star Trek with Kirk, Knight Rider, Bewitched, I dream of Jeanie, My favorite Martian, Gilligan's Island, Dukes of Hazard, Fall Guy, Battlestar Galactica (1978 tv series), Buck Rogers. ER (first 2-3 seasons), Quantum Leap.

sanford and son is a classic

 

[DeliciousSoup]

TNG for sure, Airwolf and Knight Rider as others have said, also enjoyed Red Dwarf and The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy from across the pond.

 

[XPS3]

I love the Soprano's.
