Paul Lynde as Uncle Arthur in Bewitched was quite good

I liked Dr. Bombay as well

The series changed when they got a new Darren - preferred Dick York to Dick Sargent
Loved Bewitched. Agree with you about the change in Darren.

These two! And although Lucille Ball gets all the glory (and she definitely deserves the praise) Vivian Vance was in my opinion funnier in her delivery. She could deliver a zinger with just the right amount of sarcasm and wit like no one else could. I cut my comedy teeth on these two 50+ years ago and still watch this show religiously to this day!

This show was brilliant!! And it would have been great with just Lucy, or just Vivian, but the two together worked like gold.
Outstanding choice to cut your comedy teeth on :)

The cast kicked butt. The acting kicked butt. Nurse Ratched still gives me nightmares. They were all stunning and outstanding in this film and it's one of those rare, rare times I can truthfully state I enjoyed the movie pretty much every bit as much as the book even if it was from a different viewpoint.

This one is good - kinda quirky - love their weird sense of humour!
I loved how it went off course from your typical 80's and 90's "Our Family Is Perfect" sitcoms. Not all problems can be happily resolved in 22 minutes and this show (as well as Roseanne) felt a lot more "real" and made a regular family not feel so screwed up :)
Plus, Dewey's line when Francis asks how Aunt Helen died ("cats ate her face") just never stops being funny.

Lotta good ones listed here, a'yuh. Andy Griffith, Monty Python, M*A*S*H (pain in the butt spelling it like that), but my latest binge-DVR obsession?

The Incredible Hulk!

Holy moly, I've fallen hard for this show again! Used to never miss it as a wee little punk, but hadn't really watched it since the episodes aired back in the late seventies/early eighties. Now, thanks to the El Rey network, I'm rediscovering this killer series. They held a weekend long marathon of it for Memorial Day (which I watched till my eyes turned green) and are now showing it twice a day (right after Knight Rider!).

Sure, there's a lot of cheese to grate through, but I like cheese. Bill Bixby was great as the long suffering, long wandering Bruce...ahem, David Banner. And Lou Ferrigno...that's my Hulk, a'yuh! Feeling like a kid again watching this stuff.
I'm going to have the Incredible Hulk ending music played at my memorial service. Love everything about that show.
