Many people (myself included) find it entertaining to go back to a time when we didn't have to see grisly murders, or recreate the crime scene of a psychopath to be entertained.


I agree. My comments weren't intended to crap on TJH. It's just hard to resist taking a shot at Shatner when the opportunity arises. I'm also hoping for more TJH releases to be released.

You can tell from the want list in my signature, that I am a fan of shows with high "camp" appeal, at least by today's standards. I have also said many times before, that I love collecting these shows from my youth. They bring me back to a time and place, much easier to deal with than the real world of today. I've also discovered they're a great stress reliever, a sort intentional regression. After a bad day, nothing hits the spot like a dose of The Dukes of Hazzard or Charlie's Angels!

While these shows don't have the same level of production values or contemporary appeal of today's shows, they do appeal to the inner child in me. When I watch them today, I remember the feeling I had when I watched them as a child, and to me, that's what it's all about. Why else would a grown man own The World of Sid & Marty Krofft?

However, I do enjoy some of the current shows on today like 24, The Sopranos, The Shield, Monk, Prison Break and Lost. Thank God for TV-on-DVD, since I absolutely despise all the so-called "reality" crap that has taken over network TV the last few years.
