ATF Late Night TV Shows

There's nothing better than settling in after a long day with a cup of tea and watching your favorite show. I'm a HUGE fan of the Investigation Discovery channel (specifically Web of Lies, Evil Lives Here, and Wives With Knives). I also enjoy Obsession: Dark Desires, which is what I'm watching right now.

Every now and then when my insomnia kicks in, I indulge in old episodes of Jersey Shore. Ron and Sammie's toxic relationship made for some great reality television!

I love watching TV late at night, as well. I mainly just stream movies.

A hobbyist here told me about a really great movie streaming site, 123movies.is.
The old Late Night With David Letterman show on NBC was fantastic. Not the one he retired from in the last couple of years on ABC but the one before that. They did all kinds of crazy stunts on it and it was just an "anything can happen" kind of atmosphere. Such as this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dYjdKbMT_c

Highlight of the clip starts at 2:01.

This was pretty great too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ICwXuF7XKQ

It was definitely worth staying up for. These days I get up at 5:30 AM though so no late night TV for me!

Danger Man: Starring Patrick McGoohan. That's the original British title; it aired as Secret Agent in the US, complete with the iconic Johnny Rivers theme song, "Secret Agent Man":

The Prisoner: Considered by some to be the "sequel" to Danger Man/Secret Agent; starring McGoohan as the enigmatic "Number 6"... "I am not a number, I am a free man!"

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: Schlocky Irwin Allen sci-fi about a privately owned super-submarine. Allen was probably best known as the producer of Lost in Space, but I always preferred earlier nautically themed series.

The Rockford Files: James Garner as ex-con PI Jim Rockford, and Stuart Margolin in the supporting role as Rockford's sleazy sidekick Angel Martin. Featuring the iconic "answering machine" opening before the theme song. "This is Jim Rockford. At the tone leave your name and message, I'll get back to you." "Jimmy, old buddy, buddy. It's Angel! You know how they allow you one phone call? Well, this is it."

Batman: The classic 1966 series which defined "camp" for old farts like me. Featured a classic "window gag" routine when Batman and Robin were scaling the side of a building trying to get the drop on the baddies. Producer William Dozier wasn't beneath using the window gag to promote another show he was producing:

There are others, but you get the general idea.

BCG I too love the Rockford Files. James Garner was my favorite actor.

Also love some of the old comedy reruns as well "Green Acres" was a favorite.

And "The Virginian" for western reruns.

Johnny Carson was better than the replacements, IMWO.

Ever watched Friends until Nickelodeon did a replay of the series and enjoyed watching it.

Love Family Feud when Steve Harvey hosts.

Usually watch movies.
