I gauge a TV show’s “favourite” status by how much it inspires a “damn, what’s gonna happen next?” vibe.
Back in the 90s, it was X-Files and Babylon 5.
In the 00s it was Galactica.
In the 10s, it was Thrones.
And now, it’s Lucifer (I have never laughed so hard).
Lucifer is excellent!!
Alf and Night Court were funny shoes.
Many shows start out great but it seems they run out of creative minds to keep them at their best levels.
Twilight Zone was just a bit before my time but I do DVR a lot of the shows around certain holidays when they do the episodes non-stop over a weekend, like on the Sci-Fi channel.
I really enjoyed Rod Serling when I was older and he did Night Gallery. Then I found out he did Twilight Zone before that and began to watch the reruns.
Serling had a way of presenting things that weren't gory, not bloody, but possibly twisted / distorted / evil in its own way. At the end of the show, you didn't want to turn off a light in your room, hear a car drive by your house or answer a phone call.
