I really like MASH. It's interesting, I never thought of it as "not aged well." I suppose that would be true in some way, like how most of the tricks they play on the nurses would be considered sexual harassment in this day and age, but I just haven't seen any medical show in the last 10 years that even comes close. They dress it up as a comedy, which makes sense because when you're in a dark place you have to act crazy to keep yourself from actually going crazy and who wants a watch a whole show of nothing but doom and gloom, but at the core of it I thought it had a lot of heart. And some of the dilemmas and challenges they faced aren't that different from what we are seeing in this age of the Iraq and Afghan wars. I think CBC tried to make a similar series and set it in Afghanistan, and I only saw the first episode, but all I could think was that they were trying to make another MASH and it just didn't have that spark.

Wonder Years, I also remember fondly.

I remember when I was school aged, they would run all these really old shows around the same time as the after school cartoons. I liked watching I Dream of Jeannie, Addams Family (B+W version), but I think Get Smart was my favourite. I'd probably find them too simple and silly now.

Then in university, I somehow discovered reruns of LaVerne and Shirley on TV. I think it's a very cute show.

Same writer.

Sledge Hammer crossed with Tarantino.

I'm glad someone said Saved by the Bell, that show was awesome, although after watching that Cracked After Hours video I will never watch it the same way again.

Surprised nobody has mentioned Blackadder yet, that's still one of my favourite British comedies of all time. Watching The Thick of It recently also reminded me to go back and watch Yes Minister.

Blackadder is awsome! Started on a new re-veiw on my way to the airport when i went home for christmas. They shud really make a new season or three.

It's been too long I think, Blackadder finished before I was born haha (I'm almost 22). Although I would love to see Edmund Blackadder as a corrupt British MP in the modern day. It's weird thinking of Tony Robinson doing anything other than Time Team and BBC docos nowadays though.

Also, I don't know how I forgot The Vicar of Dibley, because it's Christmas they've been showing it non-stop on UKTV here. Not sure it counts as a golden oldie though, even though it started in 1994.
