Never heard of a couple of these: The King of Queens and Parenthood and How I Met Your Mother.

I gave up on Game of Thrones.

I do seem to remember seeing some episodes of The Wonder Years at some point. I remember liking them.

Deep Space Nine bored me after a while but I did enjoy some bits of it. I quit watching in Season 4 of that one but might start again one day as I still have the season 5 dvds on a shelf.

I liked Trek: The Next Generation. That aired way back when I lived in the USA. I was a somewhat regular watcher.

Seen a few eps of Seinfeld. Pretty decent.

I liked Lost but I also found it exasperating. A standard plot line- almost week for week sometimes- was: Tell the doctor (can't remember his name at the moment) not to go do something, not to follow us, don't get involved...' The minute the ones who told him that leave camp, the doctor takes off to do the things he is not supposed to do and fraks everything up.

I did watch the whole series however and thought it improved over time. I didn't mind the ending.

...

Top of my list is Battlestar Galactica.

Then, Stand Alone Complex (Ghost in the Shell)

Faulty Towers


After that... I haven't actually watched so much television in my 50 years. I can't think of any other series I watched to completion that I honestly liked enough to put on a list.

Maybe Gilligan's Island? I used to watch that on Channel 17 (WTBS Ted Turner's network) in Georgia religiously every day after school.

GoT is pretty great for the first four seasons or so, after that it becomes a shell of it's former self.
