xenithThis should be easy but I've been playing computer games too much today :(
Names of classic, or could be classic, TV shows (series, mini-series, telemovies). The sort you can watch over and over. The "You haven't seen X? You should!" sort.
Context
Sam is character in my WIP who has a large collection of vintage TV shows (say 1950 to 2050). He temporarily relocated a few years back and only brought the best of his collection. Now he's showing thse to a friend and he wants to name names.
I found out about this interest when he kept referring to a colleague as Baldrick. Also, he's fondof good guys vs bad guy type shows, possible Westerns. (Bonus points for a TV show/movie that has a siege/shoot out at a hotel.)
I'm thinking anything that relies on current events is out, which eliminates most political shows, and no police drama/crime shows (that's the day job). Also no comedy/skit type shows. I don't think SF will go down too well either.

Robin of Sherwood would be a good one. I should have thought of that myself. See what playing computer games does to your brain?
