I loved Cold Feet. I thought it was brilliantly written.
Sex in the city...that was airing just as my marriage was breaking down, so found it a good distraction.
Ally Mcbeal.
Holby city...the first series. Loved that. Never watched it for decades now.

Dallas...the early ones before it got silly.
The waltons...good comforting, home spun family values.
Auf wierdesen pet
Bergerac...I'm sure I could catch up with it somewhere
The vicar of dibley
Oh and the early Robin Hood. The one with Jason Connery in and Clannad singing ' robin...the hooded man' . It all ended rather abruptly as if there was going to be another series and there wasn't.

I'm sure there's more.

Lie to me

House

I miss House so much that I still regularly check imdb to see if it comes up with any satisfactory shows to appease my desire for more. Do any of you lot have any House replacement suggestions?

Sunset Beach is all on Youtube! In fact once DS goes back to school I'm going to watch it all again on my days off. It will sit nicely with Doctors I feel...

The West Wing for me too. I miss Sports Night even more as it only lasted one season and it had Felicity Huffman. I really loved Aaron Sorkin.

Definitely Drop the Dead Donkey.

Currently working my way through Spooks with Egyptian DH who is struggling with the dialogue.

This Life was great.

I agree house was good I can't think of any decent medical dramas around at the moment. Started watching greys anatomy but feel it focuses too much on the doctors. Ditto ER.

LIE TO ME I love this show! What ticks me off is that the current owners of the rights won't make more but also won't sell the rights so someone else can!argh!Angry

3littlebadgers So Haunt Me is on YouTube. It's still funny.

I was off work sick for months this year so got to relive many of the shows we've mentioned on the thread.

The Hour. Did Freddie survive and get with Bel?

Atlantis. Did Jason get his Argonauts?

WE'LL NEVER FUCKING KNOW BECAUSE THE BBC FRIGGING CANCELLED THEM BOTH.
