Star Trek missed??? Ughhh...I loved all of them and the shows and films have done a lot more for entertainment culture than Sex and the City. Now saying that I enjoyed Sex and the city with Samantha being my favourite and Charlotte next especially when she meets her future husband. Love Seinfeld! Love The Simpsons and am surprised that they are still running after 29 yrs. I would add Starsky and Hutch and had a real crush on Starsky.
ReplyDeleteStar Trek was eligible, but I only watched a few episodes. The four I chose were shows I watched a lot of eps.
DeleteSex and the City used to have re-runs on normal TV every weeknight with not much up against it. So yeah- I watched a lot of it.
I never watched Starsky and Hutch. I was 5 when it ended. Not sure what happened to the re-runs.
