From March 2018: A special roundtable discussion in which Tony, Donna, and Ed tackle the question What Exactly Constitutes a Classic TV Series? How would you define it? What are the markers: Is it the era in which the show originally aired, such as the Golden Age of Television? Does it have to do with the show’s impact on television, then and now? What about shows that were maligned when they originally aired, but are appreciated today? Can a show that premiered over the past decade be considered a classic? Are there any shows today that might be considered classics tomorrow?
Because the topic is evergreen, we’d love to hear your thoughts on what makes a classic TV show “classic.” Feel free to join the conversation by emailing us, talk@tvconfidential.net, or posting a comment on our Facebook page, or Instagram page, or via Twitter. We will work your comments into a future edition of TV Confidential.
