    Just finished re-watching The Sopranos front to back. I'm amazed at how much I had forgotten.

    West Wing will top any list I can think of for TV shows.

    Don't argue this with me. It's just fact.

    You're too young to know about some of the best TV shows ever.

    Outer Limits was great. Wasn't that the one with the ending where the guy said that the book "How to Serve Man" was a cook book? Just looked it up, it's the Twilight Zone.
    I was just reminded of the Twilight Zone with William Shatner as a man on an airplane called "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet".

    I grew up on The Honeymooners and Mash.

    TOO THE MOON ALICE... one of these days... one of thexse days!!!!


    West Wing blows them away. Real content. Real world Problems. Quick witted humor, quality actors and actresses and acting.

    I told you not to argue this with me. :)

    Curious as to what exactly makes you say that?

    The torching of King's Landing made no sense. Daenerys was at times ruthless but never senseless. Ships were burning, army surrendering, she could have strolled to the throne. I know it's fiction but I like fiction to make sense.

    I did like Sansa becoming Queen in her own right and Arya sailing off to boldly go where no woman had gone before.

    How did you like the Jack Benny Sh9w or Burns and Allen or Groucho Marx or The Tonight Show or The Late Show or the early Saturday Night Live or SCTV?

    I'd like to add Mr. Moon, Heck Harper and Captain Kangaroo to my list.

    I watched one episode of West Wing and that was enough. Never watched another episode. I thought Martin Sheen was badly miscast and I can't stand Rob Lowe.

    Because it was the most lazy writing I have ever seen. They left so many subplots out in the cold. So many things unexplained.

    Daenarys slowly becoming mad would have been fine, but it was such a short season that there was zero foreshadowing and such a huge shift made no sense. The death of the Night King was stupid. In fact, that entire plotline was completely wasted. And then there was just a lot of plot holes like the fact that Dany magically had a never ending supply of unsullied and dothraki.

    They did Jon wrong in how they ended his story. The negatives are pretty thoroughly documented online. Bran becoming King made zero sense. It was just disgusting. Such a horrible way to end a magnificent story. You could tell when the source material ran out.
