Day # 19 of the 30 Days of Television Challenge

The difficulty with these memes is I suck at counting. I forget what I'm on. I look at it - and my mind forgets the number.

There's a reason I stopped knitting. (Well that and I can't sew to save my life.)

This is Day #19 of 30 Days of Television Meme

The prompt is...A television series (may be a mini-series) that never gets old and you often re-watch

Watch on YouTube

[IT's Farscape, in case you can't see it for some absurd reason.]

Star Trek: The Next Generation had a three plus year stretch--from "Yesterday's Enterprise" in s3 through the middle of s6--when the show simply could do no wrong. A great cast of characters, imaginative storylines, and a masterful mixture of standalone episodes with dramatic high points that pushed forward longstanding plotlines.

Picard, Worf and Data each could have carried a series. They had a great record with guest stars (Jean Simmons and Paul Winfield come to mind.)

These episodes are my scifi comfort food. I already know them by heart, so when a favorite comes on, I kind of just.... sink into it.

My favorite TNG episode: "The Inner Light":

Oh good, an easy one for a change! I rarely go more than a few months before I pull out one of the DVD sets and play a few eps. Always a nice pick-me-up if I'm feeling bummed.

The one... the only...

All right, there were several versions of this over a fairly long run, but most tend to agree that the peak seasons were the one featuring a talented actress, playing a character way ahead of her time.

Oh, and... Patrick Macnee wasn't too shabby either!

Perhaps it's the photographer in me, but I have to state a special love for the older credits sequences, beautifully edited together in lovely black & white.

Here's one devoted fan talking about the show:

RIP, Patrick and Diana. Miss you both.

Lonesome Dove . It pops up often on one of my Encore stations and I always watch it.

That's very re-watchable. My father used to call my red-neck uncle - Lonesome Dove (or Gus) - because he talked and sounded just like Gus from Lonesome Dove.

I loved Farscape back in the day, and bought the entire series on DVD, fully intending to rewatch it. I started the first season and never made it past the pilot. It was so intense. I'd forgotten that. So, I couldn't do it.

The only things I can rewatch right now are sitcoms, Star Trek, any version, and HGTV. Currently we're on season two of The Good Place and season one of Star Trek: Enterprise. Even Star Trek is getting on my nerves a bit. They're always so reckless--and trusting! How can they still be alive?
