OF ALL THE SERIES YOU HAVE TRADED FOR - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

lilhave · 07-29-2006, 10:20 AM

Looking at all the series you have traded for and are now told you can only maintain two sets, which would they be.?

Strange as it may seem. Wagon Train would be one, loved the lead (Ward Bond), and the story lines. When Bond as Major Seth Adams waived his arm and said "wagons ho", I got the chills.

I led three lives with Richard Carlson as Matt Filbrick who was a "communist for the FBI. Came from the radio show by the same name and I just liked the premise and again the story lines.

What are your favorites.

Wow, that's a tough question. The two shows I'd most want to keep I didn't trade for, I recorded them myself, and as the retail DVDs have come out, I've purchased those. The shows would be Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Stargate SG-1. And if I could cheat and include their spinoffs, Angel and Stargate Atlantis.

In terms of traded shows, I guess the shows that gave me the greatest satisfaction when I finally acquired them would be Vega$, a show I loved when it was first run, but didn't have the channel when it ran on FX, and Cupid by Rob Thomas, starring Jeremy Piven. It was a tough show to find, and I only discovered it first run on one of the last episodes to air, and was instantly enchanted by it.

I would pick something that i actually enjoy watching

So i would have to say
if i could have only 2 sets of stuff to keep and watch and enjoy

id pick

THE HONEYMOONERS

and

BURNS AND ALLEN

no matter how many times i have seen an ep of either one of them
if i stumble on it on tv
i watch the whole thing
and love it as much as the first time!

RedWhine56 · 07-29-2006, 12:33 PM

It would be hard for me to pick #2, but one series I TRADED for that I would keep would have to be Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

Harvey:

How many Wagon Train episodes do you have in your collection? I figure I have about 200 of them, although most are still on tape.

Gee, only about 100 and believe me, would love more. Have a bunch of other westerns, my pleasure to trade. Email me at lilhave at aol dot com if you would like to swap lists.

glockman101 · 07-29-2006, 08:31 PM

...Mine would have to be my Abbott and Costello collection, I'm a major fan, and I have most (if not all) of the usual A+C trader stuff, plus quite a few rarities that I don't even list on my trade list (they're too precious). My other would be my Johnny Bravo set, that I made with Joey, it was the first really good set I ever made, and we were the first (i know of) to make a complete JB set.

There are several sets that tie for second, anything Star Trek, Monty Python's Flying Circus, Alfred Hitchcock Presents (267 episodes, only 4 more to go), Rumpole of the Bailey, many of which I authored myself from VHS tapes I've collected over the years (RIP Leo McKern)... but my number one set, without thinking twice, is the set that started me trading a couple years ago... my holy grail: the 29 DVD set of Batman 1966 episodes, TVLand Canada uncut broadcasts, quality 9+ out of 10... made by Joker... with wonderful menu artwork by Phillip! I'm still in awe of this set guys, many thanks. Are these shows the best televison I've ever watched? No, for that, I'd have to say the six seasons of Prime Suspect, starring Helen Mirren as a female British detective and then later as superintentent of police, Jane Tennison. After each season of that show, I am in awe of the total excellence of the show.

The Brits really make great detective series. There hasn't been one that I haven't enjoyed.

LINNA59 · 07-30-2006, 05:30 PM

My two sets would be Daktari (just need 8 more shows) and Spenser: For Hire. Both of which I recorded myself and have held on to.

savageamusement · 07-31-2006, 06:03 AM

My two are the original TZ--30 discs complete

and Saturday Night live.

Saturday Night live, aired right after I was born, like weeks later. So the entire show is an anthology of my life of artists and music

loren · 07-31-2006, 09:36 AM

my two would be gunsmoke and my three sons

well over 1000 episodes, for long term entertainment

Hazel Anyday · 07-31-2006, 01:41 PM

Wow, that is a toughie. I would have to choose my favorite series that I transferred myself, Hazel and also My 3 Sons. Those 2 I have to watch every week. If I can cheat and add 2 more, they'd be Mannix & Gunsmoke.
