    The Macahans from the late seventies.
    Spadla z Oblakov (She Came Out of the Blue Sky) - Czech tv-series from the late seventies

    Childhood memories basically but they are still fascinating.

    Same for me Quest!

    Since we only have over the air tv, we are inundated with nostalgia channels. I do watch a few shows like that, and have even learned to like some I never watched as a kid.

    As to the more recently syndicated shows, I watch a lot of those.

    Both my husband and I were enthralled with this show called, "The Journeyman" which lasted only one season and finished abruptly due to a writers' strike. I think it was in 2007. It was incredible! It was a drama based on one man, a family man, who had the ability to pop in and out of time without any notice. It had such a great story line with lots of twists and turns and a cliffhanger every week, and had quite a lot of depth to the characters, and every actor was a gem! I wish they would have started it up again after the strike, but alas, it wasn't to be.

    I enjoyed the television show Jericho, about a small town in Kansas dealing with the aftermath of a limited nuclear strike on 23 U.S. cities. An electromagnetic pulse has disabled electronic communication such as radio and television, so the people of Jericho have no idea what happened. (In fact, what happened is that the nuclear strike was actually carried out not by a foreign government nor by terrorists, but by a group of high-level U.S. government officials.)

    The government has severed into two factions: the Allied States of America (ASA), controlling the west, and the surviving U.S. government controlling the east (with capital in Columbus Ohio, as Washington DC has been destroyed). Texas is newly independent.

    The ASA enters Jericho first as saviors, then as oppressors. They have hired a private security firm to enforce their will over Jericho, and the people rebel. It is revealed to a few of the major characters that the leader of the ASA was actually one of those who organized the nuclear strike.



    Unfortunately, the series ran for only 1.5 seasons.
