What classic TV series are you getting bored watching again & again?

I used to enjoy watching most shows (mentioned above), but lately, If it isn't an important news/sport event,

Jeopardy or a Seinfeld rerun I never even turn the damned thing on.
 

Well, I hate to say it Lois, but the Golden Girls finally got to me after a weekend marathon, LOL! But I can go back and watch one or two at a time now:lofl:
 
I still love Andy and Barney, but I don't have cable/dish so I don't see it much. Youtube will have an occasional episode I think, if I want to watch. I think Rod Serling was kind of a Stephen King of his time;) I think Serling was way more talented though, just my thoughts:) Denise
 
Rod Serling didn't write books that I am aware of. He wrote teleplays, etc. King writes books and sometimes works with the screen writers concerning movies made from his books. I also feel Serling was a better writer, although I do like a lot of what King has done. Serling died at a young age, and King is still writing. An interesting note: Like Hitchcock, King has made a cameo appearance of a lot of the movies based on his books. It is fun to look for him in those movies.:eek:
 
I think King's writing changed at about the mid-point of his career - it became much harsher, much more graphic. Serling, being confined by the rules of TV, did what I think was a superb job of creating suspense and surprise twists in his shows, without resorting to blood and guts like King.

Still, there's always a market for ALL genres, I suppose ... suspense AND horror.
