TVB series – thoughts and favorites

It’s been a while since I really sat down and watch a new TVB series. Though, re-watching of a few episodes may occur once in a blue moon. As time progresses, they have become less appealing and tiresome. Their drama formulas are filled with clichés and predictable plots along with talentless new artists. It seems that looks have more priority than skills now-in-days. *sigh* However, I do have some all time favorites, here they are in no particular order :D:

1. Burning Flames I
2. Mystery of the Twin Swords 1 & 2
3. The Greed of Man
4. Triumph in the Skies
5. Secrets of the Heart
6. Game of Deceit
7. War of Genders
8. Old Time Buddy
9. Edge of Righteousness
10. Journey to the West I
11. Demi Gods Semi Devils 1996
12. Triumph in the Skies
13. State of Divinity 1996
14. Mystery of the Twin Swords I & II
15. Armed Reaction I
16. Witness to a Prosecution I
17. Healing hands I
18. Legend of the Condor Heroes 1994
19. Happy Ever After
20. To Catch the Uncatchable
21. Shade of Truth
22. Dark Tales I
23. Cold Blood Warm Heart
24. The War of In-Laws
25. Detective Investigation Files

That’s 25 for ya, I was surprised that so many could be named of the top of my head. When listing them, my favorite scenes/moments were recalled. Those classics can always withstand time ne. I really should dig out my old VHS tapes and dust them off…maybe when it is time for spring cleaning. So what is your favorite top 25 TVB series?
