define “long” as I dislike most series that go on too long (which is most of them)

all time probably MASH although a bit dated now

modern, Breaking Bad for five seasons. I’ve liked other shows as much or better but they ran for less seasons than five

Currently, or maybe not so currently, The Big Bang Theory except after a few seasons I got sick of Sheldon. It became the Sheldon show after a while.

My dad and I have been watching MASH together when I come over to visit. Caught the episode the other day where it’s shot first person, from the perspective of a wounded soldier brought in. Was a really unique episode.

Miami Vice ran for a pretty good amount of time and I will always have a soft spot for the show, since I grew up watching it while living in Miami. As a kid who loved cars and speedboats, it definitely had my attention.

I’m on the fence with Stranger Things. Season 1 was great, season 2 was pretty bad, season 3 not much better, but season 4 came back around to being good again.

I also prefer when shows are short and sweet. Like everyone complains about Firefly ending too early but I disagree. The longer a show goes on, higher the chance that some money man is going to ruin it. Also a higher chance that it might be canceled on a cliffhanger like The Dark Crystal and Black Summer.

I think the show that was on the longest for me was Will and Grace or Scrubs. But I stopped watching Scrubs after one season starts with Ted getting bad touched.

I do enjoy south park from time to time still, theres that too.

The West Wing of course.

I feel like a solid 5 seasons is the sweet spot for a really good show.

Think I’m gonna have to add Murder, She Wrote. I like that there’s a channel that plays it non-stop so I can have it on in the background. Also been streaming Magnum PI lately. :smiley:
