Top 10 Most Rewatched Live Action TV Shows

There is nothing wrong with your podcast player.

Do not attempt to adjust the volume. Hello? Hello

and welcome back into our studio. You are now

inside Studio 2009. I'm of course, TFG1 Mike,

joining me as always, Steve Megatron. Hello.

Hello. And today we are continuing on with our

countdowns as we countdown our top 10 most rewatched

live action TV shows. I have one honorable mention

only because I don't really rewatch it as much,

but it still needs to be mentioned. Alf. I love

Alf. All right. All right. We're moving on. Oh,

good old Alf. Number 10. What do you got, sir?

What do I got? What do I got? Shark Tank. Really?

Yeah. I like to go back and watch them sometimes

just because it's entertaining. I can't really

fathom other shows like reality shows that's

like the only one that I go back and watch. Next

into the tank is a product to take your victories

to the next level. Hello, sharks. My name is

Matt Walsh and I'm addicted to winning and I'm

Dax Holt and I fully support his addiction. And

we are here seeking $600 ,000 for 8 % of our

company, Trophy Smack. Over 50 million Americans

pour their hearts and souls into fantasy sports

every year for a chance at victory. Friends battle

it out for months on end, smack talking one another,

investing ridiculous amounts of time and energy

for the winner to walk away with what? Empty

bragging rights? A generic Little League trophy?

I don't know about you sharks, but when I win,

I want everyone to know. And that is why we created

Trophy Smack, the best place to get the most

unique and customizable fantasy sports trophies,

blinged out rings, and over -the -top championship

belts. I mean, imagine walking into your next

draft party with this bad boy in your shoulder.

Woo! So it's super simple. You go to our website,

you choose your sport, then your size, and your

color. There are literally thousands of trophy

combinations to choose from. to create your very

own dream trophy. Yeah, I like a lot of the ideas.

At least when they're cool. And I like some of

the sharks. I like all of them, but I like Mark

Cuban the most. But yeah, yeah. He also did.

I think he created radio dot com or something

originally. I forget. All I know about him is

he was or still is the owner of the Dallas Mavericks

basketball team. Yeah. So number 10 for me is

an 80s staple. It is Airwolf. It's not a lousy

helicopter, Senator. It's Airwolf. Airwolf is

a Mach 1 plus chopper that can kick butt. So

this is the Jan Michael Vincent, Ernest Bordine.

It's the one with the helicopter. Jan Michael

Vincent plays Stringfellow Hawk and it's your

standard 80s action show kind of thing. It's

not a talking helicopter or anything like that.

It's just a cool ass black helicopter that they

go on government missions with and this, that

and the other thing. And the theme song is amazing.

And in the fourth season, they actually switched

it up because of something. I forget what it

was, but they put in... Barry Van Dyke as St.

John Hawk, who is Stringfellow's brother, and

they kind of have this whole mystery thing of

where is String and what happened to String,

whatever else. Years and years later, I would

see Barry Van Dyke on a show with his father

that everyone most of the time loves. Dick Van

Dyke and Barry Van Dyke were the stars of Diagnosis

Murder. Mark Sloan, Steve Sloan, all that stuff.

So I loved watching that. But Airwolf, it was

just so cool. Just a cool, cool show. Number

nine. Whose line is it anyway? Which version?

UK or US? I kind of consider them the same continuity

because it's got Ryan and Colin in it. But yes,

I realize that there's different versions. Yeah.

I prefer the ABC Family version. Just use your

imagination. Yeah, the US version. That's probably

my favorite. And then the second favorite would

be the British and then the CW version. Yeah.

I'm not a fan of the CW version because every

episode they bring in a guest from some CW show

and I just I don't care for the dynamic. Right.

Yeah. It's just something about it rubs me wrong.

I don't I don't know. It's just not as enjoyable.

And so I just I don't know if it's because they've

taken the the handlebars off of it and like ABC

Family was cleaner and They don't do some of

the same skits. Like there was more variety on

ABC Family and the UK version, whereas this one

I feel like it's like rinse and repeat. Yeah,

rinsing and repeating is horrible. For me, my

pick here is a show that Ryan Merkley and I are

probably going to be reviewing at some point

this year from FX. It is what launched their

original programming back in 2002. So good Lord,

20 years ago. Oh my God. I will never, never

forget this date. March 12th, 2002. The shield

with Michael Chickless and Catherine Dent and

Reed Diamond, Walton Goggins, Michael Jace, Kenny

Johnson. I remember Michael Chiklis was on The

Commish. Viewer discretion advised. When the

law protects the criminals... You used excessive

force during his arrest. Man, that's some hickey.

...instead of the innocent. People want this

to make it to their cars without getting mugged.

You do what it takes. If this means some cop

roughs up some guy. What the hell? You got some

kind of third -in -ad going down there. It's

don't ask, don't tell. Let me know where you're

hiding at. But when I saw him here as Vic Mackie,

I'm like, ooh, and this was 2002. So three years

later, he would become the thing Ben Grimm in

the Fantastic Four films that they did. But I

just I love it. This is one of those cop drama

shows that just it is the grittiest cop drama

show that TV has ever seen. Miami Vice I got

nothing on this show because in the first episode

the pilot episode They are chasing this this

drug dealer drug mule drug something and the

dude is just like trying to ingest the drugs

as he's running from the cops So he goes died

it they corner him they search him and then Vicks

like which is Michael Chiglis his character Vicks

like Yeah, I know where it is kicks him right

in the balls Like seriously one of the if it's

got to be the grittiest cop show ever on TV And

I just absolutely love it. I love it for the

characters. I love it for the music. It is a

Sean Ryan show Sean Ryan did a bunch of stuff

on Nash Bridges writing on that show for a while

and Nash Bridges is another one of my favorites

It'll come up later in this countdown But absolutely

love, love the shield. Man, that anniversary

is in a couple of months, so yeah. Number eight,

sir, what do you got? I have Boy Meets World.

Who? What? They want you to take the rules! For

obvious reasons. Uh -huh. You know, could have

something to do with the fact we've been watching

it. Yes, yes, we have. Yeah, I don't know. There's

just a lot to love about that show and the fact

that it's so not only nostalgic for that era

that it was out, but it's also just a lot of

good lessons and, you know, things that kids

dealt with, whereas I feel nowadays it's kind

of watered down or trying to placate to too many

things instead of just kind of touching on what

some of it is. Yeah. Yeah, I love Boy Meets World.

Boy Meets World is awesome. And yes, we are watching

it because we're going through and finishing

off Podcaster Meets World, our Boy and Girl Meets

World podcast. So that's that. We're currently

up to season four now of Boy Meets World. All

right. From my pick at this position, I have

got a sadly a web series that really didn't.

It got two seasons. I guess that's OK. But, you

know, it is what it is. So there's this thing

called Awesomeness TV. There used to be this

app called Go90. I think it was an app on a website.

I remember that. That's where the Machinima series

was. Yep, yep. So from Awesomeness TV, it actually

started as a book series by A .J. Betts. It's

called Zack and Mia. My life plans were a carefully

calculated equation. What I couldn't have planned

for is what we mathematicians refer to as an

unknown variable. Your test came back positive

for non -Hodgkin's lymphoma. You have cancer,

Zach. You got a new neighbor? She's already driving

Vinnie nuts. So, this is all you brought? I'm

not here to get comfortable. I'm just here to

get treatment for my lame leg drama. She's so

not your type. You never know, man. She might

have a weird fetish for Voldemort. You're not

an old dude. Sorry to disappoint. You banged?

What are you doing now? I'm just sitting on my

toilet talking to this random girl. Baller stuff.

When was the last time you did something impulsive?

You like ice cream, right? Are you asking me

on a date? Are you saying yes? Do you notice

anything off on her page? There's no mention

of cancer anywhere. Just because cancer infects

your body, it doesn't mean it has to infect your

social media violence. She has created a fake

outline. You have a ton of friends and you're

lying to every one of them. At least I haven't

forgotten about who I am. You've abandoned your

old life. Everybody used to care about everything

that makes you you. You know, she hasn't had

one visitor. Not one person to take care of her.

You will get better. What about you? Will you

get better? We grow when we're in pain. Or we

continue to stay small. I wish I could help you.

You're not! Do you know how impossibly hard it

is to love a sick person? We're strong, Zach.

You can beat this. Everybody handles the hard

stuff differently. You're not the first person

to go through this. You're not the last. There's

still time left for you to shine. I'm not alone.

And I just love, it stars Ariel Win - or not

Ariel, uh, Anne Winters, uh, plays Mia and Key

and Lolly plays Zack. It's another one of these

TV shows that even though it's got some real,

like, it's about cancer kids kind of thing. like

he has cancer she has supposed she's gonna end

up getting you know her leg amputated because

it's cancer you know there's cancer in her leg

kind of thing so it's kind of a dark thing but

it also is one of those things where it's it's

got a little bit of hope it's got a little bit

of this that the other thing in it and it's just

i just love the two of them and and the acting

in it and it's just a fun fun like one -on -one

kind of television show between two characters.

Number seven for you, sir. Last Man Standing.

Because I like the antics. I like Tim Allen.

And it's the last show he did that was on TV.

Yep. And it got canceled and came back. Yep.

It's one of those shows. To infinity. And beyond!

Bruce teaches sensitivity and tolerance. I just

don't think your kid should go to that school.

You know how that ends up. Void dancing on a

float. And what would be so wrong with that?

The only time men should be dancing is when other

men are shooting at their feet. Are you going

to meddle up until the day you die? And beyond.

Yeah, I like Last Man Standing. It was funny.

I love the jokes and I love the poking fun at

politics. Where it kind of lost me was... And

you'll be able to tell me this more than anybody

else, I forget. It's either between season one

and season two or season two and season three.

They switched the actresses on the oldest daughter.

Oh, that was first to second. OK, yeah. But anyway,

they switched actresses on one of the characters.

And I'm like, no, don't do that. No. Well, they

not only did that, but they switched the actor

for the boyfriend, the ex -boyfriend, too. Oh,

jeez. for the first season to the second, because

it was a Jonas Brother, and then they changed

it to somebody else. Oh, Lord. And then they

they kept those two actors through the end. But

the middle daughter changed. Oh, she changed

to really. She changed after it got canceled

and it came back because there was a conflict

of scheduling. And so they went with a different

chick who quite honestly fit the look and the

act better of the family dynamic But at the same

time like I like the previous actress more I

just found her less irritating like I think she

played she played like dumb better in a sense

like Like she believed it yeah, and whereas the

new one was like Obviously dumb Like I'm choked

up. Yep Good lord. It was always so funny to

me with that show at least in the beginning and

I don't know if this happened throughout the

entire series because I Didn't watch the entire

series But at least in the beginning Various

lines from other things that he did would come

up like I think it was in the first season Where

you know his Buzz Lightyear quote came into to

infinity and beyond you know all that and everything

else and yeah, I like watching highlights of

that show because a couple of the highlights

like they did a whole Home improvement kind of

thing With it. I believe didn't they? Yeah, they

did a lot of jokes. Yeah, they did some home

improvement jokes, too They did, but there was

at least one episode where Patricia, what's her

nuts, Heaton shows up. Yeah, it was more than

one. There was like two. Yeah. It was even an

episode where Tim Allen played Tim Taylor. Yeah.

Yeah. Had to go opposite of Mike Baxter and he'd

grade and he's like, I'm divorced. And yeah,

I love that. He's like, I had a neighbor called

Wilson and. He had a fence. Yeah, you had a fence

and... Absolutely. And then they had to play

like they didn't like each other, even though

it was the same guy. Yep. Pretty much, yeah.

For me, at this number, I have got another show

that sadly only got one season, but it was able

to make a full circle. It was a very short -lived

show on Fox called Red Band Society. Please hold

it. I'm late. Doesn't mean I should be too. Did

you even brush your teeth this morning because

your breath smells like toenails? I see they

got your name right. Wasn't sure he could spell

scary without adding an E, but he managed. Seriously?

We thought this was the new physical therapy

room. If you're gonna lie, lie well. So what's

his deal? Is he dead? He is in a coma. You don't

mind if I smoke, do you, coma boy? You gotta

wonder what I did to deserve this. Yeah, this

is me talking to you from a coma. Deal with it.

Her roommate? It's not just them, it's their

parents, their grandparents. You're not gonna

have to worry about that. So what, he must be

a total loser. This is your new roommate, Leo

Roth. Leo, this is Jordy Palacios. I have cancer

in my leg. Dr. McKendry's taking it off tomorrow.

You're gonna get through it. It's easy for you

to say. Not really. Look at you two, all matchy

-matchy with your Hot Wheels. Here's the weird

thing about a hospital. Hey. You become friends

with kids that you would never know in a million

years. Are you gonna eat your lunch? What kind

of question is that? I have cigarettes and diet

pills if you get hungry. I don't smoke, drink,

or do drugs. So unhealthy, right? Not like starving

yourself. I have a problem with my leg. It's

gotta go tomorrow. Would you get to keep it?

Yeah, yeah, I'm planning to freeze it. Like wedding

cake. I need some help down here. Can you hear

me? She needs to be wearing a heart monitor.

Assuming she has one. Hello! I can hear you!

I know, baby. Does it hurt? It does hurt. But

not the way you think it will. It won't be me

anymore. Your body isn't you, your soul is you

and they can never cut into your soul. We drug

test her. Amphetamines, nicotine, cocaine, marijuana.

And that is going to put her at the bottom of

the waiting list for heart. Can we dance? It

might be a while before I get to again. We few.

We happy few. We band of brothers. For he today

that sheds his blood with me should be my brother.

Everyone thinks that when you go to a hospital,

life stops. Can I do something? Sure. But it's

just the opposite. Life starts. Don't ask me

why, folks, that I like some of these things,

but I just do. Again, it's one of those medical

drama shows that takes place in a hospital. It's

about these kids who... have various illnesses

and things like that. Octavia Spencer is one

of the stars in it and she is just amazing in

it. But it basically revolves around this kid,

Charlie, who's been in a coma for all this time

and this new girl comes in and blah, blah, blah

and all this and all that. And I just absolutely,

I thought it was great. I thought it was a fun

little show that showed you how everyone's life

is different and... Because we are all different

doesn't mean we can't be friends For whatever

reason just because you know, oh I don't have

a hand that works as well as everybody, you know

My right hand doesn't work as well as everyone

else's does so what we can still be friends.

Mm -hmm Got it number six, sir. Well, let's see

Star Trek the original series Please tell me

number five and number four not TNG and deep

space nine. No Space a final frontier These are

the voyages of the Starship Enterprise It's five

-year mission to explore strange new worlds to

seek out new life and new civilizations To boldly

go where no man has gone before but the original

series I put here only because It's the most

campy. Yes. There are some There's a lot of good

episodes, but there's just as many bad episodes

That don't deem rewatching now. I love the character

interactions. I love them more when they got

to the live -action films Yep, and when they

guest starred in TNG stuff But beyond that It

didn't care for much of the original series Just

looking back now. So but yeah, I I had to I had

to list it because I do watch it quite frequently,

all of them. Very cool, very cool. For me, it

is the cop drama from TNT, Resolion Isles. This

is, it's actually, it's not a crossover, but

it's a following an actress from one show to

another show. Sasha Alexander, who plays Dr.

Isles in this was originally Kate on NCIS. That's

sarcasm. Using irony to convey contempt? Are

you trying to drive me crazy? No! What did I

say? I will poke you in your scar tissue if you

even touch the up arrow. What's the most common

ailment? Your fun facts. Okay, so while you guys

are figuring that out... It's not funny, Mara.

It's no! Are you hearing voices too? Uh, yes.

I have a know -it -all in my ear. Okay, we'll

throw you both a parade later. Oh my god, I'm

so excited. I might need a paper bag. I hate

it when we like the same guy. No longer. What?

You look like you slip under an overpass. How

are you still single? That was awkward. You think?

Shut up. Excuse me? Not you. Well, what is it

then, Dr. Smarty Pants? We're best friends. Yes,

but I'm interesting. You're ruining a national

pastime. Let go. Let go. Look, I brought you

presents. For me, this has Angie Harmon as Jane

Rizzoli. It has Lorraine Bracco as her mother.

It has Bruce McGill as one of the other guys.

It has the late, great Lee Thompson Young as

Barry Frost. For those that don't know, Lee Thompson

Young took his life a number of years ago while

the show was still airing. So they had to work

around the story because he killed himself. And

I'm not trying to bring everybody down with that,

I'm just saying that's the facts of the show's

history. But the show itself is, it's set in

Boston, it's Boston PD, it's Boston this, Boston

that. Hello, I'm from Massachusetts originally,

and of course I'm gonna love this. And anything

Auntie Harmon is in, I've absolutely adored.

She was the voice of Barbara Gordon in Return

of the Joker, because I guess Stockard Channing

wasn't available or whatever else. The asylum

had been moved to a newer high -security building.

The old building had been partially demolished

and hung open like a rotting wound. And I love

her old Barbara. So good. And Batman beyond Return

of the Joker. This show, like I said, it's a

cop procedural, but it's a... There aren't, like,

I can count on my hand how many cop procedurals

that are done in Boston. there aren't many and

this is just one of them and it is just so fun

all right sir what do you got at number five

i have star trek enterprise before john way and

picard before spock and kirk the star trek saga

began enterprise this fall on And I have this

because it's the earliest prequel series that

they've done to date and It covers a lot of ground

and kind of builds upon of how everything is

built and even in the JJ Abrams garbage films

This is the only thing that wasn't retconned

When they did it so I very much still It originally

I hated this film or this series. I could not

stand it because I was irritated with some of

the decisions made, but looking at what they've

done with recent series, I have a new appreciation

for it. Take your Vulcan cynicism and bury it.

Very cool. Very cool. Yeah, this is the Scott

Bakula series, right? Yes. Yeah. I had a hard

time with it initially, just on a variety of

fronts, but then looking back at it because of

how terrible the Some of the new stuff is with

discovery. Mm -hmm. I Yeah, I I so much prefer

this over some of the new stuff. I don't know

I I'm not much of a try. I'm a casual Trekkie

at best. I would love to be able to Just take

a like a through like a 90 days sabbatical from

everything like not like If I'm really gonna

invest in say TNG and I remember watching TNG

When I was a kid, I don't ever remember like

Being super like I wasn't running around with

you know a fake, you know water pistol pretending.

It was a phaser, you know what? Oh, I had the

phasers Well, you're the Trekkie of the two of

us. Yeah. Well, they they also are re -releasing

a lot of this stuff with playmates, right? but

my point is if I was going to like really do

a deep dive on say next generation because Honestly,

I can't stand Tos my dad used to watch that all

the time on it's acquired. It's an acquired taste.

Oh God It it's so 60s television. Oh, yeah totally

is That's a bad thing, but it's just you know

tastes and whatever else But my point is, if

I was really going to dive into, say, TNG or

Deep Space Nine or something like that, I would

need to basically take a three -month break from

everything and do nothing but watch those shows,

like marathon them the whole way through kind

of thing. Of course, with how I usually marathon

stuff, what does TNG have, seven seasons? Yeah,

so does Deep Space Nine and so does Voyager.

Yeah, I could probably do TNG and Deep Space

Nine within maybe a month and a half. I could

even tell you the episode's to skip. Well, but

I mean, that's the point, though, if you're going

to do a marathon. You have to watch the horrible

ones with the good ones. Yeah, that's true. Especially

if someone hasn't seen it in 30 -something, 40

-something years. For me, at this position, I

have got the USA Network Original Series. Created

by Jeff Easton, it is called White Collar. It

stars Matthew Bomer. It stars the late great

Willie Garson. Wait! When you're stumped by the

toughest case of your FBI career, you call on

the one man in the world who can help you solve

it. Even if that man lives here. I'll help you

catch him. Even if you're the one who put him

there. We're onto something here, Al. So I won't

wait up. You understand how this works? I'm being

released into the custody of the FBI under your

supervision. Anything I'm missing? If you run

and I catch you, you're back here for good. Meet

world -class con artists. You'll be here when

I get back? Where else am I gonna go? White -collar

thief. This is the start of those something -for

-nothing schemes that got you locked up. And

flirt. Nice hat. Neil Caffrey. What's it worth

if I tell you what this is? To solve the hardest

crime to forgery. You know the worst thing about

art forgery? You can't take credit for your work.

Hire the smartest criminal. I'm the smart guy.

He's good. Maybe he's good at you. Guess you

figured it out. This is what he's after. Good.

This is good. Tiffany Thiessen. To your food.

Willie Garson. The lights how they find you,

man. Tim Decay. Interesting theory. White Collar

is based on Neil Caffrey. It also stars Tim Decay.

It actually also stars another one of our favorites.

All grown up, Tiffany Amber Thiessen plays Elizabeth

Burke, who is Tim Decay's character's wife. So

it's got Kelly Kapowski in it. But basically,

White Collar is Neil Caffrey, Bond Forger. It's

another one of those procedurals, but it's slightly

different. Think of, oh, what's that one show

everybody loves, Dexter. Like easy he's a serial

killer, but he's also helping the cops or whatever

the hell Dexter I forget what the hell Dexter

is but anyway, it's along those kind of lines

where Neil is this bond forger criminal guy and

It's just a fun. It's one of the more fun police

procedural type shows and It's it's got Marsha

Thomason in it who I remember from Las Vegas

which was a short -lived NBC show and it's just

it's just a lot of fun and Willie Garson that

guy oh man Another one that is just gone too

soon, but he plays a character named Mazze and

he's one of these Like, you know, I don't want

to say government Spook like Freddy types, but

he's one of those can see he's a government spook

conspiracy nut kind of guy But he's so endearing

and so fun. And in one of the episodes close

to the end of the series, we find out his origin

and all this and all that and everything else.

Winston Zedmore shows up. Ernie Hudson shows

up as his foster father. And it's just so fun.

It's just a fun little show. And it's different

because, like I said, Neil is a forger. bonds,

art, whatever, and just so, so good, so fun,

so awesome. Number four, what do you got, sir?

I have the Orville. We're giving you one last

chance. I just want to say I am thrilled to be

your new captain. I want this to be an efficient

ship, but also one that you're glad to be serving

on. Lieutenant Commander Bordas, your entire

species is male, isn't it? That is correct, sir.

Probably not a lot of arguments about leaving

the toilet seat up and that kind of thing, right?

Moklins urinate only once per year. Really? That's,

I mean, I'm up two, three times a night. That

is unfortunate. It is. Time to meet the locals.

Hi, I'm Captain Ed Merson. Holy crap! We don't

mean your family any harm. Well, we did just

shoot his dad. Aside from shooting your dad,

we don't mean your family any harm. Captain,

there's a message coming in from Admiral Halsey.

It says that an executive officer has become

available. No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no. Crap. Sorry, man. You okay? Yeah,

it's all good, man. You okay? Yeah, all good.

Sorry. All right, no worries. The captain does

not appear to be pleased at the arrival of his

first officer. They were married. No way. You

know how many times I tried to talk to you because

you weren't hearing me or you weren't around

at all, but I did try. I was the one who suggested

couples camp. The therapist was your brother

-in -law. This should be a really fun trip for

all of us. Perhaps we should not be talking about

this. Oh, no, no, no. We're talking about this.

This is a thing. You'll be delivering supplies

to the science station on Epsilon 2. Thank you

for coming. We need protection. Protection from

what? The krill. We have figured out a way to

manipulate the speed of events. So, it's an anti

-banana ray. It's really interesting. We need

no longer fear the banana. Does it work on all

fruit? What about salads? You do realize this

could be used as a weapon. That's why you're

here. What if the Captain Mercer just detected

a krill destroyer entering orbit? Door's jammed.

Hilara, you wanna open this jar of pickles for

me? I loosened it for you. Return fire! Give

me the device or I will destroy your ship. Sorry,

can you move like two steps to your right? It's

just a lot of dead space there. Just perfect.

Yeah, sorry, you were just very weirdly framed.

What? What is that? Got a beer? Yeah, I'm nervous.

You know, it's a new ship. I want to make a good

impression. It's 9 15 in the morning. Ah, yes,

it's TNG light. Yes, yes, it is. Yeah, I enjoy

it. It first the first like couple of episodes.

It's very Seth MacFarlane. Like it's it's very

hard to stomach. But that being said, you get

past that point and it's rather enjoyable. Yeah.

And it kind of I mean it's run by guys that have

been involved with Star Trek before it's It's

it's got a lot of cast that come back and reprise

as different characters like we're not reprise

but just play new characters and they You can

just tell they have fun with it, but it has a

very TNG vibe to it with just even their casting

they they have you know the a lot of similarities.

They have the Android, you know, officer. They

have the kind of alien Klingon type officer.

They have, you know, various other people that

kind of, they have the chief engineer who's African

American. And so, I mean, you get like a variety

of the similar tropes that are in TNG. In in

or bill and then I just I love the the how they

kind of press things differently and kind of

conquer Things that are in society Nowadays like

in their one -off episodes. Yes, they have some

that Kind of touch on a previous one, but they're

not they're they're not serialized which I love

Yeah, that was very very cool for me coming in

at this number is one of my all -time favorite

shows It is not my number one because my my TV

watching habits have changed since Years and

years ago coming in at number four is the talking

car sir. That's right Knight Rider is coming

in at number four and it kind of pains me to

put it at number four but like you were saying

with with TNG where you could show me the good

episodes to watch or show me the ones to skip

kind of thing, the bad ones to skip. Now, when

I was a kid in the 80s, I was two when Knight

Rider premiered in September of 82. Oh my God,

that show is 40 years old this year. Beyond the

Knight, here I come. Anyway. I was two by the

time I actually got to understand it and watch

the show it was in syndication reruns and by

80 because it ended in 86 so from 86 to 90 I

was watching all the reruns and the whatevers

and whatevers and now when I go to watch it back

I only watch certain favorite episodes I don't

watch all of the episodes together and recently

just because I've been thinking about some Knight

Rider stuff I actually went through and rewatched

all of my favorite episodes. So yeah, Knight

Rider is at number four for me. What do you got

for number three, sir? Star Trek Voyager. Yes.

You can tell where the rest of this countdown

is going. Where? OK. I asked you, and you said,

no, you liar. What? I asked you, are all the

rest of these going to be TNG and DS9 and this

that? Well, you said if the next one was going

to be. Whatever. But yeah. OK. Yes, I already

had these ahead of time. It was the back half

of the the ten that I had to discover the The

thing I like about Voyagers, they're kind of

on their own. It's a different Type of Star Trek

series. It's it's away from the serialized again

like what DS 9 ended up going into and I liked

the different ship the fact that they had to

cobble things. I like the dynamic of the crew

They were they were very different. That's Voyager

Intrepid class. Sustainable cruise velocity of

warp factor 9 .975. 15 decks. Crew complement

of 141. Bio -neural circuitry. There were some

similarities with other shows, but then they

had a lot of crossovers. They had Riker show

up in an episode. They had Q show up in four.

They had Sulu show up in a flashback episode

on the Excelsior. They had... The Borg Queen

show back up. They had a lot of time travel stuff,

which was really good every time it showed up

and Yeah, I mean it was just it was a lot of

different ground plus it covered the Borg a lot

More heavily than any other series wasn't seven

of nine in Voyager Yes, she came in in season

four. Okay. I think that's the only thing I remember

about that show besides some of the guest appearances

with Kate Mulgrew's captain, whatever her captain

name is. Janeway. Yeah, Janeway. I remember watching

some of Voyager. The funny thing is I didn't

watch a lot of it until after I became an adult

and I had access to it because when I was a kid

and I think I was a teenager at the time this

was coming out and I just kind of lost interest,

like the first two seasons were kind of a slow

burn. Yeah. So this show original. Wow. Oh, wow.

OK. The original run was January 16th of 95 to

May 23rd of 2001. Yeah. Wow. I didn't realize

it was that old. I. Okay, because I was you know

between 15 and 21 when this show was on so somewhere

I want to say around 97 or 98 so probably right

around the time that Jerry Ryan was coming on

as seven of nine is when I started noticing the

show because Jerry Ryan's just amazing and the

funny thing is is that I also remember her as

a teacher on another show a show that is not

on my countdown because it's not streaming anywhere

to my knowledge, which really sucks. But she

was in Boston Public, which ran from 2000 to

2004 on Fox. This was with Chy McBride and Anthony

Held and Nicky Cat and Thomas McCarthy, Loretta

Devine. Michael Rapaport was also in this, but

it was basically about a Boston public school

kind of thing. So Jerry Ryan was one of the teachers

on there. So yeah, no, I think after I started

watching Voyager, the episodes that I did catch,

I got so sick of the Borg. Like the Borg to me

in Star Trek is how you feel about Unicron now

and Transformers. Like do something else. Yeah,

I feel the same way Alright coming in at this

number for me is the show I mentioned earlier

and the only reason why I don't rewatch it more

is because I currently don't have it on streaming

and I'm hoping to get the blu -ray set for my

birthday This year in February it is Nash bridges

from CBS studios ran from 1996 to 2001 Hey, don't

bother me, I'm having phone sex. Why sit at home

and watch Jerry Springer when I can see this

stuff live? Starting Don Johnson, Cheech Marin,

Jeff Perry, a bunch of other people. Now turn

around. Nash Bridges. Jake? What happened to

your hair, man? I shaved it off, Dominguez. What

happened to yours? I missed a couple of payments.

You working? Basically, it's another cop. procedural

show it's set in san francisco it's about this

guy that don plays called nash bridges he's one

of those it's kind again like i said earlier

about the shield with vick mackey you know michael

chick was playing vick mackey It's that kind

of character but not as hardcore as Vic Mackie

is He's one of those those maverick cops But

he's not he doesn't go so far over the line kind

of thing and I just I love this show because

I was a kid like I was young when Miami Vice

and Miami Vice came out in 84 and I Kind of paid

attention to Miami Vice, but Miami Vice was like

Knight Rider Not so bad for a six seven year

old in a 1986 1987 not so bad. It's a talking

car It's got some violence in it, but it's not

so bad Miami Vice dealing with boats and drug

dealers and the drug scene. That's a little different

I remember watching Miami Vice, but I was never

really that super invested into it, but this

show 1996 I believe Chuck Norris and Clarence

Gilliard who was in Die Hard. He was the computer

guy in Die Hard. They were doing Walker Texas

Rangers, so it was like right around that time

of that thing with CBS doing the action Friday

night shows. Just I love the characters. I love

the action in it. I love the moments in it It's

an episode where they're trying because because

Nash's Nash and Joe are cops They also have a

side gig of a detective agency to you know, obviously

some supplement the income and whatever else

so they get this detective agency gig and They're

trying to help his Nash's father Nick because

his baseball team's player was going to get deported.

And the guest star, it was baseball and basketball

combined in this episode. Jose, I believe it

was Jose Canseco as the baseball player. And

so INS is coming in and the FBI and everything

else and, you know, one of the FBI agents is

significantly taller than the other one. It's

Carl Flippin Malone. So at one point in the scene,

Nash looks up at Carl Malone, reaches over, gets

a stool, starts standing on the stool and just

starts yelling at him, look, last time I checked,

this was a sanctuary city, so unless you gentlemen

have a warrant and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

and Carl Malone just looks at him, smiles, he's

like, Bridges, you lucky I like you because I

don't want to have to knock a man off his stool

or something or like that. And it's like, it's

just hilarious. It's a funny cop. Drama show

and it's got so many good episodes. It's got

a Lot of action and a lot of fun. All right number

two what came in second place on your countdown,

sir Star Trek Deep Space Nine On earth there

is no poverty. No crime. No war You look out

the window of Starfleet headquarters and you

see paradise Well, it's easy to be a saint in

paradise But we do not live in paradise. Out

there, all the problems haven't been solved yet.

Out there, there are no saints. Just people.

Angry. Scared. Determined people who are going

to do whatever it takes to survive. They'll never

succeed as long as they value their lives more

than victory. A true victory is to make your

enemies see they were wrong to oppose you in

the first place. To force them to acknowledge

your greatness. Victory is life! Victory is life!

Victory is life! Victory is life! Victory is

life! Victory is life! Victory is life! Victory

is life! Victory is life! Victory is life! Victory

is life! Victory is life! Victory is life! Victory

is life! Victory is life! Victory is life! Victory

is life! Victory is life! Victory is life! Victory

is life! Victory is life! Victory is life! Victory

is life! Victory is life! Victory is life! Victory

is life! Victory is life! Victory is life! Victory

is life! Victory is life! Victory is life! Victory

is life! Victory is life! Victory is life! Victory

is life! Victory is life! Victory is life! Victory

is life! Victory is life! Victory is life! Victory

is life! Victory is life! Victory is life! Victory

is life! Victory is life! Victory is life! Victory

is life! Victory is life! Victory is life! And

whoever controls Deep Space Nine controls the

wormhole. You're the commander of Deep Space

Nine. And the emissary to the prophets, decorated

combat officer, widower, father of Manta. And

oh yes, the man who started the war was a dominion.

I'm Captain Benjamin Sisko. So TNG is gonna be

number one. Yeah, how'd you figure? There's only

one left. There's only one left. I mean, you

know, because you're not you're not going to

list discovery. No. I'm not going to list Picard

either. All right. Now, when Strange New Worlds

comes out, you never know. Yeah, you never know.

All right. Deep Space Nine. Why does it hit number

two for you? I honestly this was another one

of those series where I hated the first two seasons.

Like absolutely could not stand it. And then.

They went with the Dominion war route and then

they promoted Cisco and then everything got better

when they added the Defiant and added Worf. Which

basically took place after the Enterprise D was

destroyed in Genesis or Generations and Worf

came over to Deep Space Nine for a while. Got

promoted, got a command level shirt. Yeah, I

really liked it once they got going on it, but

initially it was painful. Yeah. Yeah, I like

Deep Space Nine as well. I remember when that

came out. And I liked Cisco. Oh, I did too. He

didn't take nonsense from anyone. I thought he

was cool. Yeah. Out of all of the captains. You

know, between Kirk and Picard and Cisco and Janeway.

Out of the four of them, Cisco is easily the

coolest of them all, as far as his style, his

swagger. There are moments where Picard has his

moments, but for me on TNG, it was more about

Geordi and Wharf and other things, but it is

what it is. Deep Space Nine was always fun. Again,

why do you do this to me? You've got my gears

in my head rolling around because I seriously,

I believe both of these are still on Netflix.

No, they're not. Oh, they're not? They pulled

all of the Star Trek series from Netflix, Hulu,

and Amazon, and they're exclusively on CBS Paramount

Plus now. Yeah, they pulled that stunt two weeks

into January. Wait a minute. It still lists DS9.

On where? On Netflix. I'm actually playing the

first episode right now. OK, alrighty then. Yeah,

I still have it in my in my queue and the same

thing with with TNG. It's it's still here. Those

two anyway are still here. I don't know about

whatever else other things, but anyway My Second

most watched television show This kind of transitions

into the fact that I don't watch TV like I used

to I mainly use TV for background noise or to

get clips for podcasts or whatever But it is

the Five, what do they classify it as? It is

a American crime drama television series. Go

figure. It's from CBS, ran from 2005 to 2010.

It is Numbers, which stars Rob Morrow, David

Krumholz, Judd Hirsch, Almi Ballard, Sabrina

Lloyd, Dylan Bruno, Diane Farr. So. Everybody

that has ever listened to the sound of my voice

in the last 13, 14 years knows that I am not

a math guy. I can't stand math. It's just not

my thing. Yet this show breaks it down to where

even I can understand it and enjoy it. He's a

mathematician. They have their own language.

By using hierarchical network graphs in combination

with Poisson clumping, we can work our way backwards.

You know what he's talking about. Maybe I could

use a voxel -based 3D capture. Translation? It's

kind of like herding cattle. The water in your

house. A fireworks display. Football. Dominoes.

The table. The table is the office, the balls,

the people in it. Okay. Alright, Charlie. What

do you got? These are the data points that I

use to triangulate the suspect's location. This

will allow you far more efficient use of manpower.

FBI, open that door now! Alright, Charlie, where

are we at? Just pull out the cable. Alright,

Charlie! I'm programming in the time right now,

just hang on! It didn't detonate! Congratulations.

It's a hell of an equation, Charlie. Get caught

up in numbers. So the - basic premise of numbers

is you have Don Epps, you have Charlie Epps.

Don Epps is played by Rob Morrow. He's the FBI

agent. Charlie Epps is played by David Krumholz,

aka Bernard from the Santa Claus. And he plays

the professor, you know, the professor at UCLA,

or not UCLA, where is he a professor at? Anyway.

So he's a professor of mathematics and whatever

else, and just the way that he brings math into

solving crime. It was just so interesting and

whatever. And I've always loved Judd Hirsch.

Again, going back to my mom would show me anything.

I remember in the mid -80s, from the time I was

seven to nine, I was watching reruns of Taxi,

and Judd Hirsch is on Taxi. And you know Judd

Hirsch. He was... Jeff Goldblum's dad on Independence

Day the Independence Day film Hmm, so, you know,

I love this guy So all of these actors are really

great actors and actresses. Absolutely love them

Such a fun series. It got six seasons. I wish

it had more but It was just a fun way Is it a

police procedural crime drama television show?

Yes. But again, just like The Shield or just

like Nash Bridges or just like whatever this

looks at things, completely different because

it's applying logic to solving crimes and it's

just really, really cool. What is your number

one most rewatched television show, sir? Star

Trek The Next Generation, which... It and Deep

Space Nine are actually still on Netflix, but

the rest of them are gone. That's what I just

said. Yeah, those are the only two left. But

for how long, I don't know, because they've already

made known that they want to get it from everywhere

else. Star Trek, the next generation is beaming

aboard the airwaves. All for one year. The excitement,

the drama of Gene Roddenberry's original space

odyssey. Welcome to the Enterprise. With all

-new adventures from the 24th century. With an

all -new enterprise. This is nothing like any

vessel I've seen before. And an all -new crew.

Starfleet veteran Captain Picard. Commander Ryker,

Executive Officer. Chief Medical Officer Crusher.

And her brilliant son, Wesley. Lieutenant Commander

Data, an android. The telepathic Troy. Security

Officer Yar. Geordi. a man with unique vision,

and Klingon officer Worf. Shields and deflectors

up, sir. Go to yellow alert! Their continuing

mission, to boldly go where no one has gone before.

Let's see what's out there. Don't miss the all

-new television adventures of Star Trek The Next

Generation. Well, I guess I know what I'm doing

for the next month and a half. Watching... Trek.

Yup. Alright, so... What did you know TNG? Yes.

Why why is TNG your number one? I? Because I

grew up with it That was the major one like that

was the one we watched every Sunday night when

it aired at 7 p .m we'd watch it every week and

Yeah, that was that was kind of my go -to like

my my thing to watch and I resonated with a lot

of the characters, just enjoyed them as they

evolved throughout the seven seasons and then

through the four films. A lot of good stories,

a lot of social political dynamics that were

playing out at the time and kind of still are

taken into consideration. Yeah. It always surprised

me with next generation how well they did with

the character arcs that they did have Like cuz

you've how many are on that crew just the main

Stars, what does that mean? Okay, so there's

seven of them Like the split between them all

and how each of them got their own focuses and

whatever else and again Like I've said in this

whole episode of the podcast I'm going to go

back and try to rediscover it. And I don't know

how I'm not going to be able to see adult Will

Wheaton's head on Kid Will Wheaton. Big Bang

Theory. Anyway, and no, Big Bang Theory is not

my number one. Because I don't even remember

the last time I watched an episode of Big Bang.

Anyway, people are simple and murder is simple.

There's only three motives money sex or revenge

Kenda is back with an all -new season if you

kill I will find you Lieutenant Joe Kenda is

the homicide hunter all new Wednesdays at 10,

only on Investigation Discovery. Coming in at

my number one spot is something that I want to

fully explore a little more in a general sense

over on Geocast Radio. It is a true crime television

show. It is Homicide Hunter with Lieutenant Joe

Kenda and other true crime TV, because like I

said earlier in this podcast, folks, I don't

watch TV the way I used to. I don't do appointment

television anymore and like you've said, some

of the comedies nowadays, I just can't stand

them. So I turned to true crime a number of years

ago and honestly, I've been watching true crime

since I was a kid because America's Most Wanted

and other things and you got forensic files and

all this and all that, medical detectives and

new detectives and whatever else. The thing about

Homicide Hunter that I loved and that I kind

of gravitated towards when I started watching

Investigation Discovery was that it was about

one cop from one city and it dealt with his cases

and how he dealt with being a police officer

and how much he enjoyed the job, even though

obviously it's a very stressful and very emotional

thing and whatever else. And I only find this

ironic now. Lieutenant Joe Kenda got hired by

the Colorado Springs Police Department in March

of 1973. His career ran from March of 73 to August

of 96. So for 23 and a half years, the man was

a police officer. He rose through the ranks.

He eventually became the lieutenant and he was

the guy in charge of things. I've listened to

both his audio books. I just really enjoy, you

know, the presentation that they did with this

true crime show. And I like other true crime

shows that I will talk about much, much later

on Geocast radio. But yeah, that's probably my

most root. Like literally, I fall asleep to this

guy every night. If the sleeping pills don't

get me, his voice will put me to sleep. And that's

not a bad thing. I'm not saying that because.

I'm saying that because the man is interesting

and I've heard his first book, I Will Find You.

I've had it for years since it first came out

a few years ago. I've listened to this thing

so many times. You wouldn't talk about something

that is re -listened to or re -watched or whatever.

I can start reciting the book as he's doing it.

It's like Transformers the movie for me, but

it's in true crime kind of thing. All right,

folks, that's going to do it for our top 10 most

rewatched live action TV shows. At some point

we will get Optimus Solo on here and we will

do top 10, top 15, top 25. I don't know. for

animated shows, because we can actually do two

episodes with that. Like we've been saying, we

can do animated shows and animated movies as

two separate episodes. So there is that. Anything

else you want to bring up, sir? No, I think that's

it. All right. Thank you for joining us here
