Twin Peaks. I only wish it had carried on to its conclusion.

Crime Story. The series Michael Mann made after Miami Vice and a proto for many of the series that have followed it. Beautifully shot and scripted and acted, especially the parts set in Las Vegas. I play these to interior designers and we sit and marvel at it.

Action. The funniest sit-com about the movie business I have ever seen. I think there is only one series and it is the funniest most scabrous thing you will ever see on TV.

Hill Street Blues. The sine qua non of all contemorary crime shows.

Dallas. A true super-reality of American society. I might not be joking.

Oz. Brilliantly hallucinatory series about a maximum security prison.

Dangermouse. Beautiful British cartoon.
