I just bought series 1 of “The Twilight Zone” on Blu-ray so I will take that. I loved watching this as a kid in the 1960’s and I still enjoy watching it today.

How It’s Made.. 30 seasons. And if needed to know how to make a bowling ball I would be covered.

Breaking Bad.
The story line was interesting; the photography was creative; and there are so many “Easter eggs” it would take years to find them all.

Gilligans Island, of course. I might learn something useful.

Arrested Development
First three seasons.
The fourth and the fifth can come with me as well, but I’m not sure if I would have the balls to watch them.

On this purported desert island, where would the electricity come from to power the device I am using to watch the show?

Naked News.

@elbanditoroso :: From Vaginas. Or maybe just be less pedantic.

I’m sure Netflix or Amazon will make it soon. They’re pretty prolific.

Fresh Prince of Belaire.

@Dutchess_III Friends is my “comfort show”. I can always fall back on it. :)

And maybe I’d take Neon Genesis Evangelion or Serial Experiments Lane. I’ve seen both twice, but I always get something new out of it every time I watch it. I always notice something I’ve never noticed before.

Bear Grylls’ “Man vs Wild”.

House, SportsNight, or Connections.

Though I doubt a deserted island will have anything for me to power my devices.

Dutchess I said one show.

Fantasy Island so I could imagine myself dropkicking Tattoo into a shark’s mouth for a well earned “extra point” scary, tanned, lisping little midget bastard.

I was going to say I Love Lucy, but mention of House now has me teetering on a fence.

MASH. It is, in my opinion, the best TV series ever made. The acting and the ensemble cast are marvelous. It’s funny, and serious, and entertaining, and has lessons to learn.

It also has a lot of seasons. I have probably seen every episode at least 3 times, and some episodes 20 times.

I have not seen MASH recently, buy it is my favorite show of all time.

cookieman's avatar

Same answer as @Kardamom. I adore that show.

Dutchess_III's avatar

I think MASH was the last program that the entire population of the United States watched at the same time, kind of like the Johnny Carson show. Virtually everyone knew “Heeeeere’s Johnny,” meant it was time to get your butt home!
Then cable came and we fractured.
