Star Trek (original 60's version). The Outer Limits, but NOT the Twilight Zone. (Twilight Zone is the most overrated "Golden Age" program of all time. It was always a half hour of bad acting & hokey dialogue just to get to the damned twist ending. A long way to go if you ask me. ) What else? Rocky & Bullwinkle, and Bugs and Daffy and the Roadrunner. Mr. Rogers. Speed Racer. Ernie Kovacs, Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore. Space:1999 (first season). Monty Python's Flying Circus! The Kids in the Hall. Fawlty Towers. Cheers & Frazier. Friends, but never when it's an episode about Ross' monkey. Nowdays I watch Dinner for 5, House, Battlestar Galactica, Stewart/Colbert, and any video clip shows where stupid people get injured. And when I'm sleeping on the couch, I like to listen to golf or that PBS show where that Bob Ross guy paints landscapes.
You know, the usual suspects: "Catcher in the Rye," "Huckleberry Finn," "Cat's Cradle," by Vonnegut; ...then the sci-fi: Asimov, Bradbury, Clarke... "Dying Inside," by Robert Silverberg; "The Forever War," by Joe Haldeman, "Gateway," by Frederick Pohl... these are all books I read decades ago. Lately I don't read so much, unfortunately. But I did manage "Empire Falls" by Richard Russo and "The Cheese Monkeys" by Chip Kidd, and enjoyed them very much. And can I put "Maus" by Art Speiglman on here? I can? Then add "Calvin and Hobbes" too.
