SHALKEK NEMRON!
Apparently there’s talks of a Stargate reboot. A 4th iteration that expands further on the lore of the series. Hopefully they can tie up the loose ends of Universe and whether or not Atlantis made it back to the Pegasus galaxy.

I don’t really watch much TV these days. I used to like watching Star Trek TNG and Voyager. I NEVER missed an episode of Stargate SG-1, Atlatas was good but I still prefer Sg1. Spent £200 on the complete boxset 10 years ago. Growing up did love Malcolm in the Middle and C.H.U.M.S. (you’re definitely English if you recognise this). A few shows have caught my interest but haven’t loved them.

I can only vaguely remember Supercar (and have only fragmentary memories of Four Feather Falls!) Thunderbirds and (especially) Stingray though… I’m a dead ringer for Atlanta Shaw!

I hope you don’t think I’m being anti-Kiwi when I say that I totally agree with you! Will always love Flight of the Conchords – Bret McKenzie is a genius. Did you see that picture of him at the (Emmys?) in about… well, 2013? (Pretty sure it must have been that.) He decided to jump in the air and do an “Usain Bolt heading for the line” pose, while his wife was just behind him and laughing like crazy. Just behind her was Jane Seymour “working the dress” and playing to the press…… I know which version of “the Hollywood Experience” I prefer… And sorry to have missed it – but I hope you had a great Waitangi Day; I know the treaty wasn’t perfect, but it was an example that all Europeans should have followed… just didn’t. Ho, hum: Ashamed Inga.

Unfortunately Waitangi day was a bust for me this year as I spent that weekend in hospital having had my prostate
stolenremoved so it largly passed me by, thankfully the acrimony and vile behavior seems to have gone out of the big celebrations and people can now actually enjoy it.I agree that Brett & Jemaine are Kiwi gold, their deadpan repartee always cracks me up and Rhys Darbys incompetent manager sums up the Kiwi no. 8 wire mentality at its worst and funniest.
How could anyone be anti-Kiwi anyway they are such innofensive birds – eats roots shoots and leaves – what a lifestyle eh?

Kiwis aren’t just lovely birds – they are lovely people too. Yes, your beer may not be that great, but when you have a country that beautiful, maybe you don’t need beer as much as we do up here in Albion. My only bad memory of NZ? Somewhere in the wilds of South Island, I come across a road bridge… that is also a rail bridge… and no (for the ladies in North America who may be used to do9uble decker bridges) this is just the one layer. A good look down the track… no nothing coming, tentatively set out along the track and about 2 seconds later… OH, SH……UGAR, there’s a train coming! Foot goes down on the throttle and my hire car starts accelerating quicker than if it was an F1 Mercedes… I arrive at the other end of the bridge slightly quicker than Kirk & the Enterprise could have, with my heart now doing about 190 beats per minute. About 70 seconds later the train finally arrives on the bridge… Not my bravest moment, perhaps, but at least I didn’t need to change my panties immediately afterwards… Inga the (Not Quite) Brave…

Inga, I would make three observations
A: there is nothing wrong with NZ beer.
B: you cannot judge NZ by the South Island, they are special people there, just ask Polly.
C: what bad luck Inga, meeting the only train that week on a South Island specialty, the road/rail bridge.

Hi there, Diana (and Polly.) The beer is nothing special, but still way, way better than the brew from Convictland… sorry, Australia: why, oh why though, does a pint so very rarely mean a pint, just 16 fl oz? And nothing wrong with South Island folk – though they can be very different from North Island folk – I suspect it’s the isolated environment. And yes – I appreciate that I was a touch unlucky in coming across the train – but pulling the short straw has always been my speciality! Hope your Waitangi day operation is now nothing more than a mildly unpleasant memory. Aotearoa Inga.

Inga, given the way the railways were run down by various governments and asset stripped by private owners we are lucky to even see a train these days and you are correct the southerners are fine people but still special in their own way.
The mainstream beer is nothing much I agree but given the number of specialty breweries and craft beers avsilable I still maintain there is nothing wrong with the local product.
Thank you for asking about “the operation” which is now a fading memory thankfully, all I have to do now is regain control of my “waterworks” – a thing that time will sort out – I HOPE!

Hi, Diana: just curious; did you ever get to Stewart Island? It seemed to be a really, really nice place, but I only got to spend a day there as I didn’t know there is a hostel in Halfmoon Bay – and I needed to get on to Dunedin, Christchurch and (eventually) back to Picton. Hoping to head south again in a post-Covid environment and I wondered if booking a few days on Stewart Island would be worthwhile… Not Completely Inoculated Inga…

Oh, soooo many choices. I love Star Trek TOS, TNG, Voyager, and Discovery. But, classic Battlestar Galactica was just magical in my youth, and will always be a favorite. As far as current shows, I’ve really gotten in to Nancy Drew on CWTV. If you are a Scooby Doo fan, Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated was a fantastic remake.

My favorite show is probably the X Files. I really loved Gillian Anderson as Agent Scully, I feel she was a very good role model for women. I also love sci-fi and enjoyed the monster of the week episodes and the overarching conspiracies. Don’t really feel like I have any current favorite shows as they’ve either ended or I feel like I have lost interest. Recently watched both Avatar the Last Airbender and the Legend of Korra for the first time and would recommend those, especially Korra. I feel like I would be in the minority who like it better then the original show. Again, Korra is a good role model and I like how they show her suffering with PTSD, that she is human and with flaws but still a kickass person.

With the pandemic, I’ve totally focused on returning to my old favorites.
I am currently rewatching Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine on alternating nights. I’m almost done rewatching the entire run of the classic Doctor Who (in the first season of Sylvester McCoy). And I just started rewatching season 3 of Fraiser. I also usually watch an episode of either Superstore or Blackish to add some more laughter. I’m also slowly making my way through the original Charlie’s Angels.
During the first couple of months while stuck at home I rewatched all of True Blood, Avatar the Last Airbender, the Legend of Korra, and Start Trek: TNG.
Next up, I’ll be making my way through all the recent seasons of the Arrowverse shows.

Think about it, practically every major character went on to ‘star’ in his or her own show, Chloris Leachman, Valerie Harper, Ed Asner, Ted Knight, Gavin McLeod. The show also brought in Betty White who showed she could do great comedy which led to 2 or 3 other shows for her. That was a dynamite cast. More recent shows, 6 Feet Under, Rome, Silicon Valley, Veep.

Hey girls,
Quite a few here, put them in alphabetical order as couldn’t pick my favourite of favourites.
- Agent Carter (Very good spin off from Captain America First Avenger and ties well into below)
- Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (seasons 1-5. 6 &7 are not canon and make a mess of the timeline)
- Father Ted (Pretty much everything you can’t say in modern society, but a program)
- F.R.I.E.N.D.S. (still one of the best sitcoms to date)
- Knight Rider (loved it when I was younger, still do)
- Melissa and Joey (it’s alright, but some witty banter)
- Mr Bean (just one of those classics)
- NCIS (enjoy it more than other versions, seen up to mid S15)
- Scorpion (SPOILER: Did you know this is set in the same universe as NCIS, NCIS: LA and NCIS: NO?)
- The Big Bang Theory (Everyone loves Sheldon, don’t they?
- Thunderbirds (the Gerry Anderson one, not the new fully animated rubbish)
- Two and a Half Men (A great representation of how the world really works)
- Young Sheldon (Sheldon but before he gained the little EQ that he does)
Most looking forward to:
- Continuations of still running series above
- Agents of S.W.O.R.D. (supposed to cameo characters from S.H.I.E.L.D. and build on Spiderman: Far from home cred scenes)
- The Clone Wars (only started this, but hear reviews are good)
Marvel shows on Disney Plus (including, but not limited to);
- Falcon and the Winter Soldier
- Ghost Rider
- Hawkeye
- Loki
- Moonknight
- Ms Marvel
- She Hulk
- Wandavision
I’m a big MCU fan in case you haven’t worked it out by now.
Hugs,
Isabel

I watch the Flintstones regularly Stevie… the first few seasons are the best. The animation changed a bit later in the series. Didn’t like it as much as the earlier episodes.
Do you recall when Fred took up being a magician? He thought he had made Wilma and Betty disappear in the ‘disappearing cabinet’. He said to Barney… “There outta be one of these in every home… it could replace the dog as man’s best friend…”

I have way too many :
– Three’s Company
– Friends (never used to watch it when I was younger, but my wife loves the show and I’m enjoying too)
– Supergirl
– Stargirl (great choice in choosing Brec Bassinger as Courtney Whitmore). Loved her in Bella and the Bulldogs too.
– Mighty Ships/Might Trains
– You Gotta Eat Here
– Hoarders
– 600 pound life
– Doom Patrol
– Rick and Morty
– Robot Chicken
– The Office
My favorite show is Me And The Boys starring Steve Harvey. It was on sometime in the late 80s or the 90s.
Every time Steve would have to correct one of his sons he would end the conversation with “are we cool?” When the older one got his first job Steve went a little overboard. His son had to talk to him, and he ended that conversation with “are we cool?”
It was a great show. It only lasted 1 season though. I think it was “too black” for white America back then.

An interesting topic and makes you stop and think about what you do watch…
Ones I record, so I can’t miss them, have recently included Catherine the Great, Gentleman Jack, Fleabag, Killjoys, Harrow, Jools Holland, Taskmaster and Digging for Britain.
Quite a varied bunch really!There are others of a similar ilk which I dip into now and again, but those I don’t/didn’t miss.
Then there are a few sports programmes too – rugby, motorbike racing, snooker…
I listen to a lot of music too, so the TV isn’t always on – that varies even more!

Roxy,
For several years, Dr Who was also my #1 favorite, especially the 10th Doctor, David Tennant. I even went back to watch the original series. I was a proud Whovian until that new showrunner ran it into the ground, and we didn’t even get the Christmas episode last year.
If we’re talking current favourites, (as in recent viewing) then:
The Detectorists
The Good Place
The Expanse
The Blacklist
Utopia (Australian comedy series)
Rosehaven
Squinters
The Handmaid’s Tale (In small doses, as it actually gives me nightmares)Currently really enjoying Derry Girls.

The show is funny, moving, and so well acted and written, but for me the high point is the fashion of the late 50s – the dresses/outfits, the hair, and the makeup that parade across the screen make my girly heart just swoon. My wife commented on how much she loved one dress in particular that had also sent my heart racing, but of course, I kept my true thoughts to myself…

Here in the USA, they still show a past season from time to time on Public Broadcasting. However, I bought the entire Doc Martin series on DVD and some of Downton Abbey. I never did buy the complete set to Downton Abbey, because, for me, the show basically died when Matthew was killed in that auto accident. I still cry everytime I re-watch the ending of the Christmas season, the scene where Matthew proposes to Mary in the falling snow. Those two were sooo MFEO.

Oh my sensing a theme here and speaking of sense, loved Sense8. But I have become a big fan of Death in Paradise. Just a lot of fun. – hugs, Michelle

Did you ever get Blakes7, cult scifi in Britain though the scenery left a lot to be desired.

I tend to prefer situation comedies, so my all time favorites are still The Dick Van Dyke Show, MASH and Seinfeld. Of the currently airing network sitcoms, I’m a big fan of the Big Bang Theory and Mom. I also really enjoyed the first season of The Orville and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and am really liking forward to their second seasons.
I have long felt that Sunday night is the best night for TV, I like The Simpsons on Fox, it helps me look at life from a more humorous perspective, and I enjoyed Desperate Housewives, when it was on ABC.
Of course, I also enjoyed imagining what Panties the Housewives wore!
Star Trek especially Deep Space 9, Keeping up Appearances, History programs, Doc Martin.

My favorite show of all time is “The Twiight Zone.” It was so groundbreaking, and so much more than a simple anthology show. It talked aboout social issues in an era of censorship and repression in a way that is still pertinent. I think Rod Serling was a genius, not only for TZ, but for “Patterns,” “Requiem for a Heavyweight,” “The Planet of the Apes,” “The Arena,” etc. etc. I guess he’s probably my dream guy (minus the chain smoking). I’ve always been so attracted to outspoken, highly intelligent men, who are willing to fight for social equality, human rights, and justice.
For modern shows, there’s way too many good ones out there these days to really choose a favorite. It seems like every time I turn on my satellite, Netflix, or Amazon there’s a new awesome show to binge on. TV is too good these days.

I’m a science nerd, so I have to say, Nova.
Right now mine are “The Middle” and “This is Us”. The first is about a middle-aged, middle-class family in middle America. It is so well written and perfectly cast. I can totally relate to many storylines. It’s also in its ninth and final season. 😟
The second has to be seen to understand, but it’s great too.

Heartland is a show about a family that owns a ranch in Canada, where they board and, train horses. One of the main characters, “Amy Fleming” is a beautiful young lady, that has a special bond with horses. I would love to look like her, and have her talent.

Was Rizzoli and Isles, until it ended. Now I really love Heartland.
