What old TV show is on your DVD player right now?
Mine's Airwolf.

I remembered watching the show as a kid, now I'm 33 years old, and watching it again with captioning.

Now I know the backstory....

1. I want to get "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." and "Get Smart"
I love spy shows. I'm going through "Burn Notice" right now and really enjoying it. I also want to get "The Prisoner" when the reissues are out.

4. Dexter, Season 3
I know it's not old, but it's the TV show that's in there right now. I'm all caught up now, waiting for Season 4 to start.

24. I loved that show.
The patented "Jeff-splanation" was just one of the highlights.

10. Seinfeld
I know some people hate it, but I still watch Seinfeld every day. I have them all memorized, yet, I still watch them.

Lately I have also been DVR'ing the original Bob Newhart show, the one where he was a psychologist.

14. Rockford Files
I mean, we have seasons 2-6 on DVD. My 11-year-old son and I watch episodes almost every night. He does a petty good "Anthony-Boy" (George Loros) impersonation!

19. On Netflix streaming videos I have a bunch of them available at any time. n
Recently I've been enjoying the "All Creatures Great and Small" seasons from years ago on PBS.

21. Have Gun - Will Travel from Netflix.
Unfortunately only the first three seasons of the Paladin series with Richard Boone are on DVD. Quite a few of the scripts are by Gene Roddenberry (pre-Star Trek.)

23. Smothers Brothers
You know what struck me the most, made me the most nostalgic? Their harmonies. I had forgotten just how beautiful their voices were.

28. Wooo I love both of those
Angel season 4 was great, but I liked Season 5 even better. And Arrested Development = funniest comedy ever IMO. Enjoy! :)
