Veronica Mars! All kinds of yes! Have you watched the movie? Much as I love closure, I confess that Logan did not age well and I was a lot disappointed on that score. Kristin Bell, however, will always be perfection.
The IT Crowd – been meaning to pick this up because British but I have this thing about half-hour shows, so…

Yes, we’ve seen the movie. 🙂 Bert has a big crush on Kristen Bell and was extremely relieved to discover that she is much older than her character. 😛
We’re currently rewatching the IT Crowd – it’s soooo funny!

You’re lucky Bert has great taste. For a while, Greg had a big crush on Tori Spelling. Then he redeemed himself with Olga Kurylenko. 😀

Awesome list! I’m unfamiliar with three of these titles but other than that, am especially excited to see BSG on your list!

Thanks! Isn’t BSG great!?! Which ones are you unfamiliar with?

Yeah! Never heard of The Young Riders and I haven’t watched The IT Crowd or Poirot at this point in time.

Ah, okay. The Young Riders was on in the 1990s and people confused it with Young Guns, but it wasn’t the same thing (the guys were Pony Express riders, not outlaws). 😉 I doubt it would hold up to a re-watch now that I’m in my mid thirties, but I LOVED it as a young teen. 😀
IT Crowd is a fabulous geeky comedy, and Poirot is great if you like Agatha Christie’s period mysteries – both available on Netflix. 😀

Yeah, I’ve heard of The It Crowd and had it in my Netflix queue already but it’s very low on the list since I’m going in blind essentially and I am saving all Agatha Christie adaptations and such for when I’m ready to watch them so I’m not at all familiar with all that’s out there. Would rather dive into those all at once. But I watch a lot of TV so who knows when I’ll get to these. Seeing them on lists is a great reminder though!

Love your list! We definitely share some TV likes. I’ve always heard the IT Crowd is good, and as much of a nerd as I am, I know I should watch it. Must do a Netflix search.

3,4, and 5 could help round out my top 20! I’ve never heard of the Young Riders so will be checking that out!

🙂 Like I told Melody above, I have no idea how The Young Riders would hold up now, but I adored it as a teen – a ragtag group of cute cowboys, what’s not to love? 😀 Several of the actors went on to become moderately famous.

You’ve just bumped Battlestar Galactica up my list. I’ve always wanted to watch it, but it needs to be a priority now!

You should – it’s really awesome! There is a web series and some TV movies too. This is a great viewing guide (no spoilers):

Ahh, Sherlock and Downton Abbey…two of my absolute faves! In March I went to an exhibit of DA costumes…it was amazing!
LikeLike
I bet that WAS amazing! I’ll watch just about anything on Masterpiece Classic or Mystery, but when DA came out I was thrilled! One of my favorite films is Gosford Park and DA is like a series version!
