Re: Best TV series Before the Sopranos, back to the Golden Age of TV
From that list? "The Avengers," for me.
But to sort all pre-Sopranos series, you'd have to include some later series' like Hill Street Blues, Newhart, or maybe a Star Trek enterprise (heh heh).If I use the word "God," I sure don't mean an old man in the sky who just loves the occasional goat sacrifice. - Anne Lamott

Yes! Twilight Zone!
Although, Rocky and Bullwinkle were very good!

Mannix or Rockford Files. Man from U.N.C.L.E. was right up there.
Kolshach, The Night Stalker. was excellent, but didn't last long.
Of those listed.....
The Avengers tied w/ The Honeymooners..... For very different reasons.Comment

Re: Best TV series Before the Sopranos, back to the Golden Age of TV
Soap was fun. This needs to be by category; comedy, western, etc.
I kind of liked Topper, All in the Family, Maverick and a longer list, but categories would be, IMO, beneficial"Banning books in spite of the 1st amendment, but refusing to regulate guns in spite of "well regulated militia' being in the 2nd amendment makes no sense. Can't think of anyone ever shot by a book

Star Trek TNG... the thinking man's sci-fi series."Reason and facts are sacrificed to opinion and myth. Demonstrable falsehoods are circulated and recycled as fact. Narrow minded opinion refuses to be subjected to thought and analysis. Too many now subject events to a prefabricated set of interpretations, usually provided by a biased media source. The myth is more comfortable than the often difficult search for truth."
