TOS FTW.

Throw a favorite out on the table.

Glossary:

TOS Star Trek (the original series)

TNG Star Trek The Next Generation

DS9 Star Trek Deep Space Nine

Most of the rest have one word subtitles not so conducive to monograms.

Petrocelli was a series about a crime solving lawyer who built his house of brick in his spare time. As I recall he laid the first course right on the dirt. lol. I thought that was goofy even at my young age at the time.

Baa Baa Black Sheep

And the fourth one was Banacek, with George Peppard.

Then Weaver quit, and Quincy, M.E. replaced it. That later went weekly.

Here's a little clip from 1990 which is totally relevant.

Suzanna Pleshette (sp) was awesome. I think she died fairly young.

For Sci-Fi, Babylon 5, the Battlestar Gallactica reboot, and especially recently The Expanse were pretty high quality.

Those are really good. IMO, Firefly is the best "sci-fi" series, and The Expanse is the best "science fiction" series. There's a lot more "sci-fi" out there than (bona fide) "science fiction" (probably because "sci-fi" is more amenable to general audiences). In my own personal taxonomy - where Firefly is at the "sci-fi" end of the spectrum and The Expanse is at the "science fiction" end of the spectrum - I'd classify Babylon 5 and Battlestar Galactica as "sci-fi". I'd put Star Trek (TOS & TNG, anyway - I'm not familiar enough with the others to say) on the "sci-fi" side of the spectrum, too - but with some tendrils reaching into the "science fiction" side. (Stuff like Star Wars wouldn't go on this spectrum at all - it's a separate sub-genre of speculative fiction I would call "space fantasy".)

Nobody's mentioned my other two favorites. This isn't either one. It wasn't even made in the seventies. But it's a pretty good hint what those other two were, for those who were around at the time. And why I loved them.

Since nobody else seems to be biting I'll take a swing at this and guess that one of the faves you're alluding to would be Mork and Mindy.

I know we've basically been focusing on TV shows, but I don't suppose including a movie or two from the 70s will hurt. My favorite war movie of all time, from 1970:

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet:

My dad put our TV in the closet for months at a time and told us to go out and play or read a book. We would occasionally watch news or science programs. One of my favorite was "In Search of..." With Leonard Nimoy. I went to bed scared of ghost and other things. Horror movie never scared me because they were movies. What they talked about on this show was supposedly real.

Never heard of the show because I was not alive back when it was airing.

 

[Anti Federalist]

This was a hell of a show back in the day, before it became a political organ.

As long as I'm "highbrowing" it:



When looking at just those three, we really have become Idiocracy.

Ass will be the summer blockbuster of 2032.
