Favorite TV Shows Of All Time

I’ve been thinking a lot about my favorite tv series of all time Smallville and how it’s the 20th anniversary of its debut this year. Is anyone else a Smallville fan and what are some of everyone else’s favorite series? It doesn’t have to be live action either.

I love shows like Batman Beyond, Superman The Animated Series and Pokemon. I got hooked on those shows from the first episode I saw them like with Batman Beyond. When it premiered that Sunday night, January 10th, 1999 on The WB Big Sunday, I was hooked and it became my favorite non anime animated series ever. We had just gotten The WB Television Network where I live at the beginning of the year so less than 2 weeks before. It was really the first new show I’d watched on the network. They did a fantastic job of carrying on the legacy of Batman The Animated Series and it never felt hokey or cheesy. Anyone else?

Sorry I just saw this topic thread today would have responded a long time ago…

I enjoyed these shows when they debuted, and still do to this day.

My love of Pokemon as a series transferred over to the games as well.

This is a nice selection of epic comedy.

I used to watch Andy Griffith with my grandfather.

You sound like as much of a CW/WB enthusiast as I am.

I love a good episode of Quantum Leap and Night Court whenever I get a chance.

You, sir, have exquisite tastes.

Thank you! I forgot to have in Horror to also put in The Walking Dead as well, I watched since its premier on AMC.

Fair Play, I’m definitely a big WB enthusiast and I’ve come around on The CW. I wasn’t too happy with how they treated Smallville and Supernatural when the network first began, especially that person who was in charge HATES those shows. She took away their budgets and gave it to her favorite shows like The Vampire Diaries. She was quoted as saying Smallville and Supernatural weren’t her shows because she didn’t help create them so she could treat the shows badly.

I came around on CW after that person left and the network got better thank goodness. I love how shows like Arrow and The Flash are allowed to tell stories and Stargirl has quickly become one of my favorite shows of all time along with the two I just mentioned. I grew up with shows like Buffy, Angel, Smallville and Supernatural along with Lois & Clark and Quantum Leap like I said earlier so to see good genre shows like The Flash and Stargirl thriving makes me happy. But at first, when it became CW, I was not happy with how the shows were treated.

Also, I miss having a weekday afternoon and weekend cartoon lineup. The Disney Afternoon, Fox Kids and Kids’ WB! were three of my favorite blocks and lineups and networks and I think when Kids’ WB! especially shut down, The WB lost a big part of its identity and what made it special. I identify a lot with Kids’ WB! because it was just awesome and made me happy. I got to go home from school and work and watch great shows like Pokemon, Batman Beyond, Superman The Animated Series, Jackie Chan Adventures and other programming. Once it was gone, which is because advertisers wanted the slots to sell more adult products, it felt like the network got a little less friendly you know? But yeah just I miss those shows and I do think someday we will see the weekday slots come back for kids programming but those are some of my favorite shows ever. I’ll list more when I think of them.

I've been watching it since the beginning as well. The same holds true for the other two as well.

My own experiences were quite similar growing up. I enjoyed most of the same shows.

The Disney Afternoon was very entertaining back then. Disney's cartoons as a whole were much more appealing back then in comparison to a lot of their cartoons of now. Aladdin, Gargoyles, Duck Tales and Darkwing Duck were among my favorites.

I'm enjoying all of the CW superhero shows, especially Stargirl and Batwoman.

I enjoyed The Vampire Diaries and Supernatural.

I am intrigued by the return of Legends of the Hidden Temple on the CW.

Yeah I’m hoping The CW does a good job with Legends Of The Hidden Temple. That was one of my favorite shows as a kid.

Batwoman is a really good show too. I get it’s not for everyone, but some of the people online that I’ve seen seem to just rip it because they like to be mean. I swear most of those people have only seen the previews or clips of it. It’s a fun show.

Stargirl is fun too. It feels like perfect casting to me as well and I love what the new season is doing.

Darkwing Duck and Ducktales were my two favorite Disney Afternoon shows but I really enjoyed them all. They felt like they all clicked and worked well together in the lineup.

I swear Kids’ WB! had a major uphill battle when it first started. It was mainly on WGN and they had to share time with that network. When shows like Superman: The Animated Series premiered, it was on The WB Friday Night but since we didn’t have The WB as it’s own network here yet, I had to wait for the next day to watch the premiere which was pretty funny because it was after Kids’ WB! that day. But here, Kids’ WB! was on Sunday mornings because WGN had sports and news and other stuff on Saturday mornings. That’s ok because it made it feel more special to me when I could watch the cartoons on Sunday mornings.

I still remember Wizard Magazine promoting the living daylights out of the new Superman: The Animated Series so I was hyped for it and it definitely lived up to the hype for me. That was my favorite Kids’ WB! series until Batman Beyond and then Pokemon premiered. Batman Beyond was awesome and I even remember Starlog Magazine doing articles about it and saying how some fans were angry it wasn’t Kevin Conroy as Batman this time. I knew he was on the show though and also that it was from the same folks as Batman: The Animated Series so I loved it from the jump. Pokemon it took me awhile to actually watch. It was syndicated and aired on weekdays half an hour or an hour BEFORE Kids’ WB! would air once we got our own The WB Television Network. Then it would air as part of the actual lineup. My sister told me how good it was so I checked it out. Before I saw it I was like so he catches these things and they fight? Once I saw it though, I got it immediately and was hooked. It’s now my favorite Kids’ WB! series and my favorite anime ever.

Im obsessed with Paranormal tv shows.
I Love T.A.P.S Ghost Hunters.
I Love the tv show A Haunting on Discovery networks and travel channel.

Yes. Im a Huge Zakk Baggans fan.

I don’t know how I’m just seeing this post. To answer your question, is anyone else a fan of Smallville? Hell yes! I was glued to the tv every week when Smallville was coming on. Ended up getting the entire series on DVD. I would have loved to see at least one more season after Tom Welling completed the journey from Clark to Superman, but they said from the start they weren’t going to have flights or tights. We had to settle for the CGI costume in the series finale. I have heard that they are making an animated series with Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum at the helm though.

As for fave tv shows, mine are:

Old School
A-Team
Knight Rider
Incredible Hulk (Lou and Bill)
Greatest American Hero


Not so Distant Past
Smallville
Heroes
CSI (original Las Vegas)


Current
Anything Marvel related on Disney + (really enjoying Moon Knight)
The Flash (when I remember it’s on)

I'm a die hard Knight Rider fan.

I also forget about the Flash. I set it to record so I can keep up with it. The same holds true for Riverdale.

Sons of Anarchy, Mayans, Gotham, Eureka, Vikings, Last Kingdom, Stranger Things, Mandalorian, Deadliest Warrior, Red vs. Blue, Scooby-Doo Where Are You?, Gilligan's Island, F-Troop, Hogan's Heroes, My Name is Earl, A-team, Airwolf, and Tales of the Gold Monkey. I also liked liked The Haunting of Hill House, Haunting of Bly Manor, and Midnight Mass
