As you might know from the off topic section that I have been buying complete TV DVD series sets and some complete series from Classic TV website.
These past weeks I have been watching old TV series like The Fugitive, Lost In Space, Incredible Hulk, Alias Smith and Jones, Steptoe and Son and The Rockford Files. I just love watching old series from the 60's and 70's. I think the TV programmes of today are not the same value of entertainment. I have lots more favourites but you can't buy every series. It's like I am reliving my TV history and I am enjoying watching these old series. This morning I watched the first Incredible Hulk episodes. What is your favourite TV oldies series? -------------------- Frank

Yesterday I watched the first episodes of the Rockford Files.
In the first episode there was a Billy Mumy ex Lost In Space star. You would not recognise Billy Mumy as an adult. -------------------- Frank

Today I got the To Serve Them All My Days DVD set.
I watched the first two episodes and to my surprise there was a young Nicholas Lyndhurst was in this series. This series is just as good now as it was shown in the 70's. John Duttine stars in this series. -------------------- Frank

Number of downloads: 0I just watched the first two episodes of The Sweeney series. My favourite UK cop series. This is a Thames television series. I was surprised to see they kept the commercial breaks without commercials. I thought they would not include the breaks. Why did they keep the breaks in? -------------------- Frank

I received the complete Dad's Army DVD series set this afternoon.
The set I got looks bigger than the set that is in Morrisons. This set has the Christmas Specials and 3 surviving episodes of series 2. Something to watch when I get time Christmas week.

I just found the right unlocking number for my new Toshiba DVD player.
Now I can play all regions including USA/Canada Region 1. This has made my day. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/woohoo.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/woohoo.gif) -------------------- Frank

I use to watch Lost In Space,Rockford Files,The Six Million Dollar Man,Starsky And Hutch and The Hulk Not forgetting Star Trek,Fawlty Towers and Steptoe and Son Cannon and Ironside.. I will think of more I'm sure Have to bring in a couple of children TV series I use to love watching Tomorrows People and Grange Hill Love this topic,Frank (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif) TCE Lorraine -------------------- See How They Shine,Oh If You Need A Friend,I'm Sailing Right Behind

There are lots of old series I like watching years ago. Some programmes like The Untouchables appearing on DVD for the first time. I wish some series would be complete sets instead of spread on different region DVD's. I would like to buy the complete set of Dallas tv series one day. It's great to watch old favourite series again. So much better than the X Factor rubbish. -------------------- Frank

I am still waiting for the last 4 Bonanza DVD issues. It's annoying when they keep you waiting for your orders. Apparently they send 4 issues at a time. -------------------- Frank

Yesterday I watched two episodes of the Basil Rathbone's, Sherlock Holmes.
The Voice of Terror and The Hound of The Baskervilles. I like black and white full screen films. The film quality is very good and clear to watch. -------------------- Frank

I bought 2 more series today.
The High Chaparral Complete Series and The Baron Complete Series. These are not official releases but are available to collectors. Don't know why The Baron series ended. Always liked the theme music. -------------------- Frank
