Topic: How would HBO's Game of Thrones be remembered?

A part of me sometimes wonders if twenty years down the road if the TV series will be remembered at all.

Can you name TV from 20 years ago? That might give you a clue

not only will it be remembered, OP, it'll get remade as a movie trilogy and then be made into a cartoon for kids.

I think they meant it will be remembered as a pretty neat show and it will have its following but no one will talk about it or George R R Martin much anymore and some other thing will have become the new hot show everyone's talking about.

Well that's how every big show goes though. Nobody's talking about 24 anymore even though it was groundbreaking at the time. It didn't even end very long ago either.

Seinfeld began in 1989.
Star Trek TNG in 1987.
M*A*S*H in 1972.

I think he's a historian from the future researching ancient TV and he went back another 20 years cause he couldn't get any good info on TV from 1995.

I always thought about the possibility of each ASOIAF novel getting a movie adaption. Sometimes I wonder if that would happen right when the TV show ends as a sort of cash in. Of course, should movies come out they would have the luxury of knowing the full story as George would probably be done with the last two books by then.

Maybe you weren't being snide, but if you were: lol

The Simpsons
The Fresh Prince of Bel Air
Rugrats
Friends
Hey Arnold!
The Ren and Stimpy Show
Saved by the Bell
Boy Meets World

Granted, it kinda seems like TV series' didn't start getting super srs and dramatic and gripping until the late 90's to early 2000's so most of the well known shows are 'lighter' and maybe worth less in your opinion. But still, there are plenty that are still well remembered and watched. There are literally dozens of them! Dozens!

I wasn't trying to prove anyone right or wrong. I was making a point that if you can think of TV 20 years old then that might be how GoTs is remembered. I never stated that there was no old TV worth a damn.

Good choices. You just rock. You're really giving me hope for future generations. I'd throw Red Dwarf in there as essential viewing once a person starts reading Camus or Sartre.

Kira not even mentioning DS9.

Did that on acid back in college. You are way too fucking amazing.

Red Dwarf is better if you read the books it was based on. It's a very sci-fi comedy exploration of existentialist ideas.

I just recall one of our RAs walking into the TV lounge during the scene where she is cutting open the cactus and licking the juice out...

"Hey, what are you guys watching?"
*all of us staring at the TV for minutes*
"Uh... Uh... We're watching a lot of symbolism here."
"Oh fuck, you guys are so fucked up."
*storms out*

This was the same RA that would consistently walk in at the worst time during movies, (that weird gang rape scene in The Begotten, the eye cutting scene in Un Chien Andalou, or the numerous buckets of blood scenes in any of the cheesy horror movies we watched) so she was used to walking in and finding us watching something disturbing.
