What’s your favorite TV show…of all time?

I’d have to agree with you.

Honorable mentions:

  • Dukes of Hazzard (hey I was young and impressionable in the early 80’s)
  • Macgyver(the original one, though the newer one ain’t bad)
  • Star Trek

Of course the cowboy in me loved Hell on Wheels (AMC) and I’ve watched it a lot.

Currently streaming Person of interest and I’m certain I’ll watch it several times over the rest of my life.
 
and since I’m bored tonight, here’s a list of people who appeared on the show and went on to more famous roles…

- Jack Albertson - Chico & The Man, Willy Wonka
- Jack Bannon - Lou Grant
- James Best - Dukes of Hazzard (Roscoe P. Coltrane
