I adored STG:TNG. And you are right about the first couple of series. Do you remember Troi in the first episode? Oh God she was painful.

I feel....Anger. I feel...Pain. .... her minidress positively quivered with emotion.

I'm sticking with my list as originally posted, and adding Oz and Rome from HBO.

Agree, completely, there. I use to be so in love with Captain Picard. I still swoon occasionally when the reruns are aired.

Also:
- Highlander (just watched a rerun last night)
- Rome
- The Golden Girls (don't laugh!)
- Sanford and Son (stop laughing!)
- Ren and Stimpy

The Sentinel! Although maybe I don't wish it, since I reside in it almost every day . . .

Sapphire and Steel.

I wish I could go back in time and watch these again with my 8 year old eyes.

I tried watching them again with my 37 year old eyes but it was just toooooo paaaaiiinnnnffffuuulllyyyyy sllloooooww.


I loved this programme, my whole family watched it. We'd rush round and get ready for Sapphire and Steel (sandwiches, cups of tea, bag of sweets). It was a weekly event. We'd talk about it in the intervening week. I still remember the very last episode, and in fact the setting for it (a strange little waiting room, or cafe that wasn't really anywhere at all....out of time and space, just on its own) has settled so deep into my psyche that it's my benchmark for a certain kind of spookiness.

And here's a clip from the very first episode. The start of it with the opening credits. Gosh, how terribly modern. I still get a slight shiver from these credits. This programme, this episode frightened the shit out of me. Fed my nightmares for about a decade after.

I think David McCallum (Steel) might have been my first full on crush lol.
