RMMC,
Ye said: "...maybe we should start a classic TV thread."
I think it's been done. I remember recalling all sorts of old radio shows for a thread some months back. A geezer thread? May have been.
And personally, I'd rather look at River's legs than Inara naked. I prefer slim women. Always have, but one big exception is Kristen Miller, who has a similar build to "Inara."
Odd you mentioned Seinfeld. For two entire shows, on different occasions, I sat through Seinfeld, and never so much as cracked a smile. But that show was all the rage with some folks I used to work with, so gave it a shot. Now, I'd rather shoot it.
But Python...!! Just the thought of John Cleese's silly walk makes me laugh. And remember...nobody EXPECTS the Spanish Inquisition!
[I too far prefer reading to most of the crap on TV today.]
Long time ago I was a great fan of Gunsmoke, and clearly recall the episodes directed by Ida Lupino were generally the darkest, and also the most realistic of the series. Never liked Dennis Weaver, tho. Not in anything.

I have one to add to my list! I can't believe I forgot this. It goes under the heading of shows I like but often miss because of class.
Criminal Minds
And this is random but every time I see that show I start thinking "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

Op: You're fighting a war you've already lost.
Mal: Yeah, well I'm known for that.

Ruxton,
Oops...I was a bad little browncoat. After I posted that, I did start a geezer TV thread without checking the archives. 
Nothing wrong with liking the pretty slim ladies. I was just worried I had offended you. If I did, I'm very sorry.
I'm with ya in regards to Seinfeld...and Friends for that matter. Two shows I've just sat in bewilderment trying to figure out just why folks were watching it, and not even getting a glimmer of an idea. (Ooo...shooting Seinfeld. I'm likin' that idea. 
)
Ah, Python. I starting watching that when my age was still in single digits. A year later my mother decided to see what we kids were watching and the ep she saw was... Full Frontal Nudity. I think England heard the fuss she made about that. 
My fav skits are Twit of the Year ('Nigel has just run himself over! What a great twit!')and The Lumberjack Song. And Crunchy Frog...and Pet Shop and Dennis Moore and...
Ah, the reading bug bit as one of my favorite authors (Elizabeth Peters) just had a new release. I'm in the midst of devouring it.
I was a bit young for Gunsmoke first run, but I did catch reruns here and there along with the Big Valley. Liked 'em both, but I kinda preferred Dennis Weaver in McCloud. The person I never liked in anything he did was Roger Moore. Loathed him especially in the Saint (I'd read those books and was vastly disappointed in hids portrayal), Maverick and the Bond movies.

In defense of "Seinfeld", I'm equally amazed at those who DIDN'T like or get the show...it's the same dumbfounded feeling I get when folks tell me they don't like/get "Firefly" or "Arrested Development". IMHO, "Seinfeld" was absolutely brilliant and I consider it the best sitcom EVER. But hey, different strokes, etc.
My current viewing list, in no particular order favorite-wise:
1. The Office
2. My Name is Earl
3. Family Guy
4. South Park
5. Dr. Who
6. Veronica Mars
7. The Simpsons
8. The Daily Show & Colbert Report (they're practically one hour-long show for me)
9. The Showbiz Show
10. Battlestar Gallactica, though it technically isn't "on" at the moment.

RMMC,
I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok,
I sleep all night and I work all day.
...
I chop down trees, I skip and jump, I like to press wild flowers.
I dress up in women's clothes and hang out at the bars!

And now all he has to do to win the Greatest Twit award is to shoot himself. He missed!
And then there's fish slapping....
And the unending quest for a bit of cheese, any cheese.
[NO, you didn't offend me in the slightest.]
Again, odd you mentioned "Friends," which I also can't stand. Are we on a roll, or what?
