[QUOTE="OneMoreChapter, post: 271, member: 34"] Until we get individual threads going to recommend TV shows and books and movies and other non-Lynch/non-TP media, I thought I'd create this thread where people can recommend and discuss TV shows they'd recommend. I set one up for more modern shows and this one is for more classic ones. I guess modern is recent or within the last 5, 10, 15 years (however far back you think). And Classic is probably pre-2000 (though maybe mid 2000s shows would fit here too - I don't know). I'm thinking 90's, 80's TV shows and before are probably worth discussing here. Anyone who has seen any of my threads in Hap's Diner on Dugpa know some of mine, but here they are again - ones I recommend and have recently been or still am rewatching: "Northern Exposure" (the closes spiritual successor to "Twin Peaks" I can think of even though the overall vibe is very different), not streaming due to music rights but is on DVD (plus Blu-Ray in UK/Europe) "Carnivale" (the next closest successor to TP for me and this is a 2000's show so making an exception by mentioning it here - but given it was cancelled like TP after only 2 seasons it kind of straddles the mold between Classic and Modern for me) (HBO) "Due South" (mostly procedural but has moments of magical realism - and Benton is very like original season Cooper!) (not streaming unless you're in Canada but easy enough to find, plus on DVD) "China Beach" (our Resident TP Scholar [USER=58]@brad[/USER] wrote a book about this as well as "Twin Peaks" - I'm up to Season 3 but taking a break, found it very heavy going though I love it) (not streaming, on DVD) Worth mentioning but not necessarily recommending as haven't rewatched enough: "Midnight Caller" - saw it as a kid, only rewatched one episode since, they're on Youtube, no official DVD or streaming "Father Dowling Mysteries" - saw it as kid, only rewatched one episode since but got the DVD - Many of these are in danger of being forgotten as most are not streaming alas.
