Pretty much any Star Trek. B5. Battlestar Galactica - both original and the SF reimage.(Galactica 1980 not so much). Xena. Hercules. Lost World. Continuum(spelling?). Most of the Law and Order stuff. Gilligan's Island. Buck Rodgers. Twilight Zone. Emergency!. Many more.

I became an anglophile in my mid-age.

Best Innuendo's and One-Liners | Are You Being Served?
Father Ted trailer
The Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes (1984-85 TV Series) - Trailer

I have either seen, or at least heard of most of those, but "Sandbaggers" is a new one on me. You did, however, remind me of "The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin."

The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin - title sequence

Beautiful intro to the 70s TV show. Please see my interpretation of this in my videos...

I recently rewatched the original "Battlestar Galactica" and "Sir Conan Doyle's The Lost World."

More absolute bangers there. Didn't "The Magician" travel around in a private jet" Not a small one, but rather something like a 727? I don't think it ever made it to reruns.

I watched The sandbaggers in highschool every Wednesday night on local PBS.

I have recently started watching Peter Gun on Prime. The use of music to quickly set tone is amazing.

"Old" is such a broad term. It could mean anything from Howdy Doody to Veronica Mars.

Ignoring the obvious hits from Gunsmoke to Mash, here are a few gems that I would consider less well known:

Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future
Space Cases
Police Squad! - Everybody remembers the movies, the TV show doesn't get enough love)
The Munsters - Addams Family had better movies, but this was definitely the better of the two original shows. Also, shut up about Uma Thurman.

And here's a couple shows that aren't actually good, but if you're doing a history run you should have at least have an episode or two in your catalog:

Ghost Busters - No, not the Ghostbusters. The original TV show with a gorilla as a main character. Also, the reason why the cartoon had to be called "The Real Ghostbusters". It's really bad, but fun for an episode or two.
Supertrain - An amazingly notable sci-fi-ish failure. I can only imagine how much cocaine was involved.
My Mother the Car - You see a lot of parodies that make fun of this. Some people don't know it was a real show. And really stupid.

I have The Man From U.N.C.L.E on DVD as well as Star Trek: The Animated Series, WKRP in Cincinnati, The Muppet Show, and Jonny Quest.

The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest is the best version of Jonny Quest.

Yes! He actually lived on the jet (it was HUGE and had private living quarters built in). Also, of an interesting note, Bixby was a magician and performed most of the magic on the show himself. It was a tremendously fun series.

When "The Incredible Hulk" TV series hit, my first thought was, "That's the guy who lives in a plane!"

EDIT - I just looked it up on IMDB. His "home" was a 737.

The pilot episode is on Youtube

Old is what you experienced. What a Gen Y thinks is old won't be the same as what I, a child of the '60s, thinks is old. It's all valid, if it's how you feel
