It's got to be Dr. Who for me - although the New Doctor, Matt Smith, has yet to prove himself.

Babalyon 5
TOS
Dragnet
Rowan & Martin's Laugh In
TNG
And I suppose The News although that might not be a series.

Of the dreck on today
CSI
NCIS
Law and Order
News

And a note, when TOS was on, I'd arrange to be sure to be in front of the box when it came on, Today, I don't mind missing an episode of a fave at all. Just not compelling stuff on anymore.

A good start would be everything produced by Jack Webb, Irwin Allen, and Quinn Martin.

There used to be a fabulous comedy series starring Eddie Albert back in the 1960s called "Green Acres." You can find snippets from it on Youtube, it is guaranteed to evoke peals of laughter.
The old black and white films often contained a memorable plot, great suave acting, quality speech diction, flair and panache. Note how nowadays it is often reality television, police car chases, pyrotechnics, and verbal verbosity.
What has happened to the Golden Age of acting? Take us back to dear old Hooterville anytime.....L.O.L.

the original Twilight Zone. All the paranoia of 24 and the X files without the sex and swearing. Using ones own mind to scare us is better than showing all the gore.
