Best period TV show? (Page 3 of 5)

I liked both...but only watched that 70s show when I caught it on tv...it wasn't good enough to follow for every episode.
Rome on the other hand, had Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo...two of the most awesome characters ever to grace a tv screen...dynamic characters that actually changed with time...beautiful sets....great writing, filming and directing....the whole cast was dynamite. Max Pirkis as Octavian too...he was phenomenal!

That 70s show could've been set in any other period between 1960 and 1999 and it wouldn't have lost or gained anything.
Liking that 70s show more than Rome is like liking the Sunday Funnies more than a good documentary.
It's a matter of substance vs. no-brained-escapist-ha-ha.

I can definitely understand that some people enjoy stand up comedy more than visiting the Louvre....but those people shouldn't have a say in what a good museum is. They'll just pick the museum of the history of stand up comedy! People that appreciate museums should have a say concerning the best museums!
If you don't appreciate period based television for the fact that it's period based television, you're undermining people who are genuinely discerning!

I gotta go with Paisley on this one....Rome Rome Rome.

reminds me of Monty Pythons "Life of Brian"

Brian: 'We're all individuals'

distant crowd voice: 'I'm NOT'

Ok, seems reasonable.

And about topic. Like paisley1 said, that people will choose there favorite show. That's with every poll, at least when poll isn't worst something...  And about not seeing all the shows from list, that's the reason i haven't answered this poll. And what i have seen from the list(Have seen only: Blackadder, Merlin, Robin Hood, Rome, That 70s Show, Xena), there just not that best Period show, including Rome. But that's just mine little opinion.

Ee.. I haven't noticed other(discuss) option until now. So my choose will be this and discussion about that was already here:

I've only seen these shows from the list
Blackadder, M*A*S*H, Quantum Leap, Wonder Years, Happy Days

As far as period shows go this older Australian production.
The Sullivans told the story of a lower middle class Catholic family during World War 2.
TV series 1976-1983

Hey!  Careful how you define "chick" around here. 

Are you dense?  It's not the word chick that I mind, it's the fact that you seem to think only a chick could be responsible for some off the wall ranting.

I mean, have you never read the stuff Ben posts on here? 

Well I never thought I see the day, possibly someone around here I find more personally offensive than Ben.  Huh.

And you know, it's not the fact that I find you offensive that bothers me.  It's more that you can't seem to understand why you're being so offensive.  But that's fine, maybe you're just not capable of thinking on those kind of levels.

And at this point I agree with madboobs - bored now!

Love this thread.

And paisley1 - going against the popular opinion in a forum, what did you expect?

I understand the reasons behind it and your arguments, but this is not something that can be won on arguments. People like different stuff. People would pick different stuff as "best". People interpret poll questions differently. And it's ok.

Also, That 70's show is sooo much better than Rome ...
(see, that's how an argument is won)

Why?  Now if you said you were jerking off to Fez...
