Dharma and Greg is probably the only one on my list. OK, I Love the (decade) as well. But i must say, I face a dilemma every evening. Seinfeld and Good Eats are on at the same time. What to watch? ---

> [@Kat](#): > > The only show I consistantly watch when I happen across it is _M_A_S_H\*. The weird thing is, my roomie has all the _M_A_S_H\* DVDs and I could watch it without commercials or editing (Most of the episodes I had previously seen _only_ in syndication, and really enjoyed the “new” scenes that were edited out to cram in extra commercials) whenever I want, but I still have to watch it when I find it. 🙂 Check to see if you get the Hallmark Channel, I’m pretty sure the ones they have are uncut. Sometimes they’ll run an episode that I haven’t seen in a long time. Yeah, I’m a M_A_S\*H junkie too. 🙂 ---

Presently, I can think of only two “can’t miss” shows: 24, and Smallville. Of old shows, Star Trek (there, I said it) Kolchak: The Night Stalker The Rockford Files Hawaii Five-0 Wild, Wild West The Twilight Zone Bonanza (but only the first few minutes to see the plot and who is guest-starring) Wonder Woman Batman … all when I can find them on. ---

Dick Van Dyke Twilight Zone Star Trek TOS–have you noticed that with the newly digitally enhanced (or whatever they did to them) episodes that the quality is so clear now that you can see all the makeup details, like the eyeliner on Kirk, and the props, etc. Like on the episode where they picked up a virus from a station on a planet where everyone went nuts and turned the heat off and they all froze to death, the dead guy on the floor was so clearly a dummy. I had seen that ep a zillion times over the years and always thought it was some guy lying on the floor, but now it’s soooooo obviously a dummy! ---

The Dick Van Dyke Show - I think this was the best show ever. ---
