Old TV shows that stand the test of time, and ones that don't

WHS - I'm a fellow heretic.

I found David Jason's character Del Boy (?) a bit too whiny and querulous for my taste.

he who dares Rodders!

Varied throughout the series, you were supposed to identify him as that annoying bloke down the pub that had loose morals, low IQ, the feeling the world owed him a living and blinding luck.

Can't believe nobody has mentioned Fawlty Towers. Classic!

Does anyone remember The Shadoks And The Gibis?

It was a series of short animations from the mid-seventies but never been repeated as far as I know.

I'd love to watch that again. It was clever. To me, anyhow.

I think Star Trek stands the test of time.

Which is amazing for a science fiction series.

Not quite a long-running series, but Ripping Yarns.



I'm not so sure about Star Trek. Well not the series, the films are as good as they were probably since they could afford at least some GFX. Wrath of Khan is still a good 'un.
