Last week I mentioned how I loved the Love Boat as a kid, but watching an episode last week it was ghastly, which led into conversations about lots of shows that didn’t hold up. So for a different question … what’s a show that you find HAS held up well even after lots of time?
For me, it’s Babylon 5. Was incredible when it was on the air, all the way back in '94-98ish. I can still rewatch the entire show every year or two, and get just as much out of it! Incredible writing, incredible performances, and all on a much tighter budget than most comparable shows got.
If only 3/4 of the main cast weren’t dead!
