There are some good ones out there, and I think the industry should concentrate on working with them.

We tried to watch one on oceans a while ago, and it had this guy on it with voice overs for him. They spent more time on him, then on the oceans and what lives in them. The whole thing was very poorly done.

I grew up watching Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom and Jacques Cousteau. They were my all time favorite shows as a kid. We never missed an episode of them at my grandparents. Everyone in the house loved them. They'd come on and the whole family was in the livingroom for the whole time. :)

I'm not a big fan of the doom scenario stuff myself. If it's something going to actually happen in my lifetime, maybe. It's not like we could actually do anything about it. If and when it happens, it happens. I'd rather hear about things like our jungles, forests, mountains, oceans, etc. You know?

We watch a lot of the space documentary ones as well. We really like the ones that talk about creations and how they happened. We also like the ones that talk about the possibility of one day going out there and making a proper exploration of other planets. Both in and out of our system. There is just so much out there we'll never get to experience. We don't live long enough, and our technology hasn't caught up to our imaginations for such projects. Not really.

Have you ever seen Gorillas in the Mist? The movie they did about Dian Fossey and the mountain gorillas of Africa. I love that movie. It's one of my favorites. I love the shots of the gorillas.

We watch a  lot of the primate ones as well. We just watched one the other day about snub nosed monkeys. They're adorable!

I like monkeys. :)

To those mentioning the new Cosmos series, did you ever see the original Carl Satan series? Utterly brilliant (if a little dated with the special effects), and was basically the core of my first year astronomy course.

I'd like to see a lot more documentaries and fewer cop/CSI-type shows. How many more sicko plots do we have to see before we get good TV back again?

Hell, even the Rockford Files was better... Well, at least when I was 14 it was.  :-P

Well Mariska Hargitay is not tough on my eyes... I'd like to build her a cake or something, maybe catch a delicious bass for her.  %-)

To be fair, I probably didn't even read it anyway.

We watch a lot of the dramas too. We like shows they actually put some effort into with an good storyline. We've been known to watch many of the crime, rescue, and medical dramas, but good documentaries tend to be our favorites.

Some others we like are The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Falling Skies, Vikings, Helix, The Strain, and we loved what they did with Battlestar Galactica. We've also been fans of the Star Trek shows since we were kids.

I remember the Rockford Files, St. Elsewhere, Emergency, Columbo, Kojak, Space 1999, and so many others over the years. I'd like to see them redo Space 1999. Like they did Battlestar Galactica. I'd like to see what they might be able to do with it now, compared to what they were able to do back when we were kids.

Do you remember a show named The Land of the Lost? I liked the general storyline, but that show needed some serious help in the special effects department. lol

Why do you think that?  :-P

Check out Breaking Bad. I was shocked to find out I was addicted to it. Very, very good plot and story line.

I really need to finish watching Breaking Bad. I got about half way through the first series, was enjoying it, got distracted by something and haven't watched it since. I think the second series was starting when I was watching it so lots to catch up on.

I do seem to do that with TV series. I did the same with 24, watched a few, and possibly watched one episode of Lost.

A space 1999 remake would be good so long as they kept the theme tune

Add THE VETOES to your myspace friends!!! Pretty please :D

Speaking of nostalgia and bad hair, do you remember Terrahawks?

That was an affront to the senses. But starred Windsor Davis. So that's alright then.

I remember its existence, but I didn't really watch it. I think I was too grown up and mature by then.

(Googles)

Ahhh, yes, 1983-1986. I was at uni and didn't have a TV. Instead, I spent my spare time getting lashed up.

Their hair seems to have been modelled on that of Rod Stewart.

I was about four when it started and don't remember much other than the lead bad guy, Zelda, had a wicked cackle. Scared the crap out of me as a little 'un.

There were robotic ball characters that moved by rolling around and their evil counter parts were robotic cubes that got jettisoned from space craft, landed and I have no idea how they got around. Presumably they waited to be kicked
into the right place by a passing miscreant
