TV series discussion {'ware Spoiler Alert}

Thanks @prozac
The 60’s had such clever quirky shows which I think appealed to adults and children often with the former getting a more ‘mature’ take.
The old Hanna Barbera attribution at the end was common. Former ASIO head Mick Burgess was interviewed and he said it was like ‘Get Smart’, a series of highly secure sliding doors needing various passes etc - but they always were watching him via the cameras so the doors would magically open.
Other favorites of mine included Gilligan’s Island, Batman (episode rescuing the kidnapped heiress J Pauline Spaghetti), Its about Time, and of course Addams Family (loved Morticia deadheading flowers whilst decorating)
Get Smart probably started my appreciation of Mel Brooks style. Yes Gilligan's Island was great. I was already a Bob Denver fan in his bumbling beatnik character in the Many Lives of Dobie Gillis. The skipper, Alan Hale jr, was already famed from his role as Kasey Jones and Jim Backus was the wonderful voice behind Mr McGoo. ... 'Oh, Magoo, you've done it again!'

Just finished watching Big Mistakes on Netflix. Took the first episode or so to hit its stride, but overall I enjoyed it. Looks like it’s getting renewed for a second season and I’ll be interested to watch that when it eventually drops.

I don't know if I commented on this. I think I started watching but gave up, then @DejaBrew made the rcommedation above so I gave it another crack. It turned out alright in the end. Thanks.

Just finished the latest series of Fauda across 3 nights on Netflix. Another top class production.
 
Nothing that looks interesting.........so just started on Bad Thoughts (Netflix). Ep1 scene 1 this fella's doctor just gave him a pill not yet approved by FDA and tells him it will remove his inhibitions. I could tell him 100mg prednisone daily will do the same thing. Hahahahaha
Any other recommendations on Netflix?

Edit: Yeah, nah. Don't recommend it.
