So many programs, so little time!

All that said, the show we binged compulsively like addicts: all nine seasons of The Middle (from the 2010s). I grew up in the midwest, and it was just so authentic and warmly funny. Hardly a bad episode among them. Enjoyed the heck out of it (insider's pun).

Better let you get back to your regularly scheduled Star Trek thread here ...

I'm sure that it's much easier to watch all the Star Trek series multiple times when you don't watch any current shows on streaming services or cable TV.

I haven't watched Hogan's Heroes in many years, but I've been watching a lot of reruns of the old games shows including Match Game and Family Feud with Richard Dawson.

You're right I don't watch any current shows or stream. Right now it's all 90s movies and STDSN & HH

I use to watch Match Game when I was a kid, I'm sure some of the more racy comments went over my head. I might check that show out just to see the stars that were on it.

Ah, but dramas left the most lasting impressions. Such as: The Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock Presents (I can still remember the theme music), The Prisoner (gotta track that down again), The Invaders (also want to revisit sometime; scared the bejesus outta me), Star Trek of course, Combat! (still seems very authentic and memorable), Rat Patrol, The Avengers, The Outer Limits, The Wild Wild West, Dark Shadows (parents hated it, so only now and then), Smothers Brothers, Mission Impossible, Night Gallery, Rocky & Bullwinkle, Man from Uncle, The Ghost & Mrs. Muir, The Big Valley, Batman, The Saint, The Time Tunnel. I had to do some Googling for a memory aid ... and left out many more than including here. Wonder when we had the time to watch them all!

Those are a whole bunch of shows that bring back memories. I love My Favorite Martian, Get Smart, and F-Troop. But you left off my favorite 60s comedy, The Dick Van Dyke Show.

Of the dramas, the ones I miss the most are The Ghost & Mrs. Muir, The Saint, and Time Tunnel.

Star Trek, The Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, and Batman still air in reruns on MeTV, so I watch those every weekend.

I would love to find the show Ben Casey streaming somewhere. I used to watch that every night when I was younger.

My mother-in-law lives in an assisted living and she only likes to watch the court shows, (like Judge Judy and The People's Court), and the old game shows, and we visit her every day, so we've been watching a lot of those shows recently. I forgot how much fun some of the game shows were, and some of them are educational too.

I just read an article yesterday that said there's no scheduled date for season 3 of Strange New Worlds yet, but season 4 just started filming this week.

The wife and I started a TV nostalgia kick about 15 years ago by watching an entire run of old TV series. First we watched one of my all time favorite sitcoms Lavern & Shirley, then Happy Days that ran for 11 seasons the last season most of the original cast was gone. Then for some reason I decided to watch Joanie Loves Chachi which was OK and only 2 seasons. Then Mary Tyler Moore show, followed by, you guess it, Rhoda. The original Outer Limits and Twilight Zone. Then Gilligan's Island followed by Batman which I hadn't seen since the late 60s and thought it would be silly but it was good fun. Then The Time Tunnel. And what might be my favorite TV show The Love Boat, followed by, yes, Fantasy Island (the original not one of the reboots). M*A*S*H* and all the episodes of Family Feud game show with Richard Dawson as host.

Probably the biggest binge watch I did was watching in order all of the surviving 757 episodes of What's My Line? which was fascinating to watch for the history alone. After I'm done with Hogan's Hero's I'm not sure what vintage TV show I'll be up for next?

Most of Happy Days was great, but it went downhill after Richie and Ralph left the show.
Joanie Loves Chachi sucked, and that's coming from someone who had a huge crush on Scott Baio when I was younger.
If you want to watch a good spinoff of Happy Days, try Mork and Mindy.

The Love Boat, and Fantasy Island were great back in the 70s, but neither show stood the test of time for me.

That's interesting as on the Hogan's Heroes extra features there were some recordings of Bob Crane's radio show. On one of the segments he interviews Richard Dawson and a couple other HH cast members. Bob Crane kept calling Dawson's wife Diana Dors by the wrong name, calling her Deanna Dors. Dawson eventually corrected him but didn't seem to mind, but I wonder if that was a little dig at Dawson. Dawson starts explaining a humorous story in answer to Crane's question and Dawson goes way off tangent and monopolized the air time which seemed pretty odd. I wonder if that was due to his dislike of Bob Crane?

I just found this article online:

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 Release Date

The answer is based on a reply to a question from a Facebook user in the Netherlands. The reply was from SkyShowtime, who holds the streaming rights for Strange New Worlds (and other Star Trek properties) in the Netherlands, as well as in the Nordics, Spain, Portugal and Central and Eastern Europe.

Facebook User: When do you have Lower Decks? And when is a new season of Strange New Worlds coming?

SkyShowtime: That's a good question. You're a real Star Trek fan from what I read! Nothing is known about Lower Decks (yet), but season 3 of Strange New Worlds will be online on August 1st. So please be patient! [Thursday 6 March 2025]

For season two of Strange New Worlds, SkyShowtime broadcast the day after Paramount+. Following that rule, July 31st is a Thursday this year, which would be on form.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 Trailer Includes Classic Throwback To TOS & Introduces The Holodeck To The Enterprise

Paramount+ has released the first official teaser for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3, teasing all the new adventures to come across the show's 10-episode season. This includes beginning footage that is reminiscent of The Original Series, including a retro filter that makes it look like it's from the 1960s.

Been catching some random episodes of DS9 here and there on Pluto recently. Man, I miss that show. I caught a couple of the run that is in the final season that contains something like 6 or 7 "To Be Continued" episodes in a row, culminating with Sacrifice of Angels. So good!

I loved TNG and DS9 and of course TOS, I was an avid fan and had them all on VHS, but I gave up half way through Voyager, I never really warmed to Janeway or Chakotay and found Neelix annoying...not even Jeri Ryan could lure me back!

Since then I've only ever watched a few episodes of Enterprise but have heard season 3 is really good, and the last trek I saw was Picard season 3 (just that season) which served as a great send off.
