I probably should've mentioned this earlier (what with the favourite band thread and all) but there is actually an entire sub-forum dedicated to music and television (http://www.movieforums.com/community/forumdisplay.php?f=19), which is really where you should be starting these threads.

F.r.i.e.n.d.s rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pyro Tramp]

Did Spike get his own TV show?

Mine are, in loose order:

Comedy

Arrested Development

Father Ted
Green Wing
League of Gentlemen
Harry Hill's TV Burp
Most TV shows with Alan Partridge or by Chris Morris or Charlie Brooker

Drama

Twin Peaks
Lost
24
True Blood
Buffy
The Shield
The Wire

[honeykid]

Mine are, in loose order:Harry Hill's TV Burp
Most TV shows with Alan Partridge or by Chris Morris or Charlie Brooker


Completely agree with the Charlie Brooker programmes. They're usually one of the best of the week.

BTW, do you know that Harry Hill's TV Burp has moved to Sky? For me, this is Sky (once again) buying something just as it's gone off. HHTVB hasn't been that good for the last 12-18 months or since it became sketches and 'bits' rather than the mocking tv programmes/scenes/characters. All that stuff with the jelly and the knitted character last time out was dreadful. It's moved away from what it started as and is now more like a HH show, with his "Like the lining" 'comedy' taking prominence. My guideline for it is, once he starts mocking Corrie, it's over. For some reason, I don't get a laugh from then on.

[dionysius]

My top 5 favorite TV Show is:

1. HOUSE M.D.

2. PRISON BREAK

3. THE SOPRANOS

Degrassi High ( 1989 - 1991 )

Favorite episodes:

Season 1 - Episode 11 .... 'All In Good Cause'.
Caitlin and Claude protest against a factory involved in nuclear missiles. Kathleen is tired of being abused by Scott, so she presses charges against him.

Season 2 - Episode 16 and 17 .... 'Bad Blood Part 1 / Part 2'.
Part 1: BLT starts seeing a girl named Cindy and finds it difficult to end his relationship with Michelle. Lucy has started to make videos for LD, whose cancer is in remission which has allowed LD to holiday with her father at the Islands. Joey wants a car but doesn't have any money so he bets everyone that he will walk the entire cafeteria wearing nothing but his fedora. Dwayne is shocked when he discovers that he may have gotten HIV from a girl he slept with over the holidays named Penny. Degrassi has installed condom machines in the toilets and one is vandalized by Dwayne and Nick.

Part 2: Dwayne takes an HIV test and it comes back positive. BLT confronts Michelle and finally breaks up with her, telling her that he isn't cheating on her. Alexa and Michelle later discover that BLT lied and that he has been seeing Cindy behind Michelle's back. Joey tries to pay people back for the bet, but is still coming up short and has to think of a way to get back at Dwayne. When Wheels spots Dwayne vandalizing yet another condom machine, Wheels tells Joey, who attempts to blackmail Dwayne. When Dwayne learns of this, he starts a fight with Joey. Dwayne eventually stops fighting and tells Joey that he is HIV positive.

Season 2 - Episode 25 .... 'Showtime Part 1'
Auditions are held for Talent Night with acts ranging from poetry to singing hats to dancing. Joey needs help with science. The school is suddenly thrown into turmoil when Claude commits suicide in the boys' washroom. This situation is difficult for everyone to accept, especially Caitlin.

Question. Why does the person in the centre have a cardboard cut-out head?

Also, top right hand corner? Why is she wearing someone elses hair?

[Brodinski]

Every other drama series pales in comparison with The Wire. In terms of sheer breadth and depth of subjects covered, nothing even comes close...

For comedy, I go with Arrested Development.

Dex, did you know that L&O has been cancelled? I'm assuming you did, but I just thought I'd mention it/depress you. :)

[Fiscal]

After the finale of Justified, I am so close to saying that this is for sure my new favorite show. The acting is absolutely top notch. I can't think of a feature film in the same genre with better performances...

[rufnek]

After the finale of Justified, I am so close to saying that this is for sure my new favorite show. The acting is absolutely top notch. I can't think of a feature film in the same genre with better performances...

The only TV program with more sex and violence and even better actors than Justified is The Tudors, but lord, look at the script they have to work with! No one could make up anything as good as the truth of what went on in Henry's court. I have my system set to record both series.

One series I had a lot of hopes for when it first started was that Amazing Grace thing about the policewoman with her guardian angel Earl. But it degenerated into neurotics with guns. The crimes they were supposed to be investigating were so minimal that they could just as well been washing machine repairmen. And none of the so-called criminals were nearly as dangerous to the public and other law officers than those neurotic cops. Grace's sidekick, the gal who played George Segal's daughter in the Just Shoot Me series, is so tiresome in her role. On top of that, the actress playing Grace just doesn't do it for me. She's not good-looking enough to get even 1 boyfriend, much less lay the whole police department. Boy, talk about the poster girl for a STD sign! Too paraphrase an ol' Texas saying, if she had as many sticking out of her as she had stuck in her, she'd look like a damn porcupine!

Even with all its flaws, I love 24. It's gripping and addicting. I didn't even like it at first, but I had to keep watching just to see what happened. Then, I was hooked. The characters, while many are annoying, are terrific for the amount of time we know them. Plus, you can't get more bad-ass than Jack Bauer. In all his glory, we still get to see a human side of him too, which is why I'm always cheering for him.

[planet news]

Animu is TV after all. NGE of course. The greatest work of film in the history of evar. As for "real" TV, Twin Peaks. I also loved Lost for a long while, but the ending gave me massive mystery blue balls, so I've kind of disowned it. What's the point of analyzing it? They never had any intention of having any of it make sense.

[honeykid]

What's the point of analyzing it? They never had any intention of having any of it make sense.

Of course they didn't. I thought that was pretty clear from the first episodes of the first season. It's also one of the reasons I stopped watching after about 9 episodes.

Star Trek: TNG

[alex28]

i like simson and
lost

[planet news]

The Simpsons are great. At least they were until a few years ago.

Lost was great. At least it was until the very last episode.

[Cries&Whispers]

I think the greatest 30 minute show in recent history was Arrested Development. Everything about that show was epic, in my opinion.

I also love The Wire, Dexter, and Community. But I binge watch all these shows. I don't really watch TV, I just watch the DVDs.

I absolutely loved Lost up until the last season. I think it was supposed to be analyzed. There were a lot of connecting themes throughout the first few seasons that I think demanded analysis. But, in the end, without giving away too many spoilers, none of it effing mattered. I did not like the ending, but how could it live up to expectations?

[Naisy]

I'd have to say House has been my faviourite show since its pilot. Absolutely love the show. Whether its because I relate so much to the character or just find the style fun.

In saying that others that rate highly are:

NCIS, Supernatural, Family Guy, 24 other sentimental favs are cancelled shows that were Australian made you wouldnt of even heard of Blue Heelers and Lano & Woodley. Thanks to magic of DVD we can live moments again and again.

Conan O'Brien's the funniest guy on the planet? Really? I doubt he's the funniest guy on his show.

As far as regular tv goes, it's tops for me too. The dialogue is amazing, and it's a very non-sentimental show, which I appreciate very much.

[honeykid]

I'm assuming you mean non-sentimental for an American show, yes? For the last couple of seasons, I'd say that House was always watchable, but rarely interesting.

[Jape]

The Prisoner

The Original, I'm assuming

I'm hooked on....

Bored to Death
The Big C
Pillars of the Earth
Caprica

I was getting into Flash Forward and the Suicide-themed sitcom Gravity but both were cancelled!

[earlsmoviepicks]

It's taken a few episodes to get me hooked, but Boardwalk Empire is what I look forward to every Sunday. Damn you HBO.

[Darkrose]

HBO is just amazing, nothing more to it :)

[mark f]

The earliest, oldest, best TV show I remember watching when I was a kid was "The Andy Griffith Show". I just watched two episodes yesterday from 1963, and they were both excellent and very modern, especially to me, since both involved Andy interracting with Opie's teacher, Miss Crump.

I have to show some love for Degrassi Junior High 1987-1989 and Degrassi High 1989-1991. What an amazing show. I did not start watching the show till later on in the 90's but I instantly fell in love with it :) The show deals with everyday teen life and beyond, including drug abuse, sex, Aids, bullying ,love and pretty much everything a teen will go through during the course of their lives. This was the only show I could ever relate to as a teenager so I thought I would give this TV show some love.

I wonder if Plainview would like it if I got a new hair style just like Spikes.

[Plainview]

Have you ever seen the Degrassi movie Schools Out (1992) Holly. It takes place when the crew is on their way to college.

I remember watching this show on a daily basis its a shame what they have done to it now. As for doing your hair up like Spike sure no problem Spike was hot back in the day. I am just not sure how the Pre-School moms will react.

[honeykid]

I only saw this one.

I would have put Angel up there had it not had a muddy 3rd and 4th season. Both these shows I have mentioned are exceptional television to the point where I don't even think of them as 'tv shows'. They transcend that, I feel. We'll never get another Buffy or Wire.

Those are my favourites of all time. Right now i'm big on Dexter. I've yet to watch season 5, but going by previous seasons and especially season 4..it's boderline great television. :)

Ah, Twin Peaks is superb, and of course Battlestar.

[Sedai]

Still fantastic to this day. My girlfriend and I are watching it again - just about to start episode 17 this very evening.

[JayDee]

Sedai - Big :up: for your X-Files love. My favourite show of all time

Also forgot to say that when I admitted to not having seen a David Lynch film I did watch and enjoy Twin Peaks a while back

[The Prestige]

I'll tell you what, still haven't even seen the proper Twin Peaks series to this day. I've seen bits on bobs but I have yet to sit down and watch an entire season. I did see this Fire Start With Me movie version but I can barely remember it. The last bit I remember watching from the show was there being nobody on earth except these one guy and a naked woman and then it just cut. At least I THINK it was Twin Peaks. Or have I got the wrong show?

[honeykid]

Doesn't sound like it, Pres. I'd definately recommend Twin Peaks. It was Fire Walk With Me, BTW.

http://www.gentlemad.fr/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/sons-of-anarchy-328-sons-of-anarchy-series-tv-300x225.jpg

I love this show! I by no means want to buy a Harley and join an M.C. but this shows holds my attention.

http://www-deadline-com.vimg.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/theLeagueEpisodes_20110806215426.jpg

Can't wait for The League to come back on

http://www.r7c.net/wp-content/fringe-300x195.jpg

Not nearly in the same league as X-files but I do like it. I have a hard time keeping up with its schedule so I'm just catching them when the seasons come out on DVD.

http://serial-mentalist.ru/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/boardwalk_empire_lede-300x174.jpg

I can't wait to see where the storyline goes this season

[honeykid]

I've not seen (or heard) of The League, but other than that I'm loving your choices. :cool:

[FanaticFilmFan]

Thanks Honeykid! And I don't really see The League having any lasting power, I mean how many seasons can they really make a show about a fantasy football league, lol. Which is all it is...a raunchy comedy about friends in a fantasy football league. But so far the first two seasons have been HILARIOUS!

[Tripod]

My favorite TV shows include Justified, Lost, and the Weird Al show because the kid in me still likes it.

Mr Bean
Smallville (I've only seen two seasons, but I'm really getting into it)
Futurama
King Of The Hill
South Park
Home Improvement
M*A*S*H

Two & A Half Men (the newest episodes are complete horsesh*t, but the first five seasons are hilarious)
My Name Is Earl

[honeykid]

Have you ever seen Blackadder? I think you'd like it (mainly because it's brilliant.) As you like The Young Ones and Mr. Bean you might like Bottom, which is kind of a mix of the two.

[Iroquois]

[TylerDurden99]

I like Black Adder, though not enough to call it a favourite.

I can't believe I left out Seinfeld and Deadwood from my list. I love those shows.

[quint]

I'm not real big on television, but the last shows I can remember watching with any regularity would be


Life (2007-2009). A really good show starring Damien Lewis, about a cop wrongfully imprisoned, who is proven innocent and settles for a skillions dollars with the police/city hall/whatever. I forget the exact details.

The catch is, though, that part of the settlement is he's permitted to go back to his old job on the police force.

As he's doing his normal duties, he's also (on the side) piecing together who on the force set him up. That part of the show was a running storyline to go along with the 'weekly episode' cop stuff.

It was pretty good, and getting some really interesting twists (e.i., his partner's father (also a cop), was killed, and may have played a part in his frame up.

Anyhow, it was something I watched, but I can see how it got cancelled. If you didn't follow it, it just seemed a mess.

I also used to watch Northern Exposure. Great setting, quirky characters, storylines that were outlandish, but believeable.

These days, though, I don't watch any tv as far as network tv goes. Don't have the time or will to find something to hold my interest. 19 versions CSI/ER/SVV with the obligatory brooding hero/heroine, quirky stat person, minority, expert geek. Cookie cutter stuff.


I've tried watching the new Hawaii Five-O, but I can't stay with it. I mean, how dumb do you have to be to commit muder in Hawai???

First of all, it's HAWAII!! Palm trees, beaches, sunsets. I'f you are contemplating muder in Hawaii, you may as well just walk into the ocean, because whatever you've got, if Hawaii can't make you feel better, you're a lost cause.

Secondly, it's HAWAII!!. If you kill someone, you're not gonna get away.

[bouncingbrick]

I haven't read much of this thread so i don't know if my favorite has been mentioned yet.

Cowboy Bebop. Best TV show of all time. Seriously. I love it. It has great characters, great stories, great animation. Just an awesome show all around. I think it blows most US television shows out of the water.

Runners up:

Batman: The Animated Series
Breaking Bad
Samurai Champloo
Futurama
True Blood
Dexter

[Oktober]

Thinking of animations, I'd rate King of the Hill as a personal favourite, closely followed by The Ren & Stimpy Show & Futurama.

Thinking of police procedurals, I'd go for The Sweeney, the inimitable Homicide: Life on the Street, which has a cult following in my neck of the globe & the long running Law & Order series created by Dick Wolf.

Thinking of sitcoms, obviously Fawlty Towers is the best ever made, but I would include Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads, Drop the Dead Donkey & Curb Your Enthusiasm as up there with the greatest.

Thinking of sci fi, I think Star Trek (TOS, TNG), The X-Files & The Walking Dead are good contenders.

That's enough thinking for this evening ... I think.

[akatemple]

Have you ever seen Blackadder? I think you'd like it (mainly because it's brilliant.) As you like The Young Ones and Mr. Bean you might like Bottom, which is kind of a mix of the two.

I love it around Christmas time when they show the Blackadder Christmas special on BBCA, I was surprised the first time I saw it to see a very young Hugh Laurie and it's funny as hell.
http://rpmedia.ask.com/ts?u=/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/75/Blackadder_3_george.jpg/150px-Blackadder_3_george.jpg

I just got through watching all 4 seasons of Two Guys and a Girl and realized how much I miss that show, the cast is great and they have the best halloween episodes.

The one where they all get cursed, my favorite.

I don't know if you've ever seen The Young Ones or not, but there's an episode with an even younger Hugh Laurie.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxA0a5G6ccg

As well as Stephen Fry and Emma Thompson.

A great episode, which I recommend you watch, which also contained this classic Motorhead song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&feature=fvwp&v=YOAz4nPNvLI

[TylerDurden99]

That's a classic episode of The Young Ones, especially the really weird part at the end with who I think is Robbie Coltrane.

Oh, I forgot 'Dear John'. And I mean the original British version (written by John Sullivan) starring Ralph Bates & Belinda Lang. I quite miss it. The US version wasn't even close.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090416/

[honeykid]

Yes, Dear John was good. It was also the first programme I can remember seeing the US version of on tv.

[Oktober]

I really didn't rate the US version, to me, it was so peculiarly English it was impossible to replicate abroad. Even Judd Hirsch couldn't save it. Although I think it ran to two seasons in the US.

Sometimes shows can be transplanted successfully into other cultures, I suppose it all depends on the competency of the writers & cast. The UK version of 'That '70s Show' bombed abysmally. It deserved it.

Mind you, I've never seen either the UK or US version of 'The Office'. I count myself lucky. ;)

I thought it was ok, but I prefered the UK version.

Indeed. I think I made it to the advert break and, frankly, I'd done it a favour hanging on that long. Ditto the horrible UK version of Married... With Children. Of those coming back the other way, I think Three's Company has got to take the prize. I prefer it to Man About The House and if you could've taken the UK's Ropers and put them in Three's Company, it'd have been perfect.

Me either. I tried a couple of times, but it doesn't do it for me. I love The Ricky Gervais Show, though.

There was a UK version of Married with Children???? :skeptical:

I quite liked that, of course, I may just have a Belinda Lang fixation LOL!

I thought I'd only be able to provide a link to prove it's existence, but I think you can even see by the opening, how lacklustre it felt. In essence, they stripped it of everything that made MWC funny so they could show it pre-watershed.

I really liked 2 Point 4 Children and, like you, Belinda Lang had a big part to do with it.
http://s11.allstarpics.net/images/orig/n/u/nu8ddtah73gt37tt.jpg

[Oktober]

Thankfully I never saw the UK version of MWC, maybe I did once & my brain shut down & refuses to remember it. Comedy is often culturally specific but some things are universal. Obviously no one told the UK version's producers & writers that.

Yeah, I still like Belinda, although that's probably not the most flattering picture I've seen of her.

[honeykid]

What can you expect, it's ITV. ITV comedy are among the most frightening words you can hear on British TV. ITV drama isn't usually far behind, IMO, followed by Channel 5 documentary.

http://www.britishtheatreguide.info/images/belindalang2.jpg

I think the phrase 'ITV comedy' may be an oxymoron, possibly without the 'oxy' part!

I always thought that she never really fully reached her potential as an actor.

[Used Future]

Clearly I'm not the only one who thought Belinda Lang was one heck of a yummy mummy then.

[honeykid]

Nope. We were all out there, it's just that without the internet (of the last 10 years) you needed a newspaper or tv programme to 'promote' a theory/trend/whatever that was anything but the blindingly obvious.

In the same way that there really aren't any 'hidden gems' anymore, it's actually a little sad. I guess you have to take the rough with the smooth.

Does anyone watch Californication? I think it has become one of my guilty pleasures. Duchovny is good & Natascha McElhone is simply gorgeous.

So long as you enjoy it, that's all that matters. I've heard it's quite good and it tends to review quite well, it's just never appealled to me in the slightest. I'm not a Duchovny fan, either.

[TylerDurden99]

I think I can add Twin Peaks, The Wire & Lost to my list. I only started to get into them recently, but they're each great shows.

Also, I inexplicably left out Robot Chicken. Robot Chicken beats Family Guy, American Dad and other every other crude animated show, hands down. Definitely top 5 TV shows for me.

[Oktober]

The Wire was superb, I don't think David Simon could write anything bad. Homicide: Life on the Street was & is a cult classic IMHO. As for Twin Peaks & Lost, well, it's best I don't say anything. I can think of a lot of things I'd rather do than watch them.

[JormaVonTrier]

Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm, Larry David is a genius!

I also love In Treatment, though third season wasn't as good as first two seasons.

[honeykid]

Arrrrgggghhh. Don't say that. I've just started week 2 or season 3.

[mastermetal777]

Here are my favorite TV shows of all time and reasons behind em, not in any particular order:


Seinfeld (Who else can make the little things hilarious?)
Ghost in a Shell (More thought-provoking than The Matrix)
House (I love medical shows, and this one has the best people in it)
Bones (Incredible and very human cast)
The Simpsons (Really, how can you go wrong with this dysfunctional family?)
Dragonball Z (Best anime ever!)
Bleach (Very entertaining and highly emotional)
Daria (High school was pretty much this)
Breaking Bad (Was really surprised by Bryan Cranston's performance)
King of the Hill (The deadpan humor mixed with bat-s**t crazy moments always make me laugh)
Spongebob Squarepants (The only kids show I can still tolerate)
The Animaniacs (My favorite TV show as a toddler)
Batman: The Animated Series (It's Batman, and it's awesome)
Ed, Edd n Eddy (Well thought out immature humor and enjoyable characters)
South Park (The shock value is what makes this show)
Friends (The cast...nuff said)
That 70s Show (Again, you can't go wrong with the cast and a clever script)
Malcom in the Middle (The ONLY dysfunctional family done right besides The Simpsons)
any Law & Order series (Realistic moments and no annoying side stories)
Wolf's Rain (Depressing yet worth the watch)
The Walking Dead (A zombie series with heart)


I know I watch more shows than this, but I can't think of any at the moment.

Sherilyn Fenn went to HS with my sisters and dated my brother. I actually got to go to Magic Mountain with her and Chris Penn back in the 80's. One of the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on.

At this time my favorite tv show is the new HBO series "Game of Thrones". It's based on a book and is thrilling and fantastic like this show was good that I went out and bought the book and I'm reading it which doesn't happen too often

[resmarted]

ditto to the malcom in the middle post. i can't watch tv anymore it all sucks so bad.

[Critics]

Malcolm In The Middle is a great show, if you liked it, check out Breaking Bad.

[IronMan3News]

Dallas -TNT
Leverage - TNT
Franklin and Bash - TNT
Suites - USA
Burn Notice - USA

Most of the good ones :)

[Critics]

Burn Notice is pretty good, I would suggest people to watch that any day.

[PeterVincent]

Firefly, Smallville, Doctor Who.

[Critics]

I used to watch Doctor Who all the time back in the day, Smallville I never had a chance to watch and I couldn't get into Firefly myself.

[Flimmaker1473]

House is my favorite t.v show of all time. South Park is a close second. My top ten is.

1.House
2.South Park
3.The Drew Carrey Show
4.Scrubs
5.Seinfield
6.The Simpsons
7.How I met your mother
8.The Muppet Show
9.Friends
10.Psych

[PeterVincent]

I used to watch Doctor Who all the time back in the day, Smallville I never had a chance to watch and I couldn't get into Firefly myself.

I recommend Smallville, it starts off pretty well, it goes downhill for a while though, but season 10 is pretty spectacular if you're a fan of Superman.

[MovieBuffering]

There really is no competition for me...I have a ton of trouble getting interested in TV dramas. I find just about everyone of them implausible, silly and forced. That was until I feel in love with a little show called:

Breaking Bad

I'll contend that it is the best TV drama in television history. Not one thing in the show is put in it without purpose. It all feels very plausible. It never opts for cheap thrills. The slow burn build up and continuous story line lend more power to the memorable climaxes/moments. Not too much the incredible premise/writing/atmosphere/acting you name it. I absolutely adore it and highly recommend it.

Now comedies I tend to gravitate to more. I seem to enjoy the 90s sitcoms the most. Here are my fave TV comedies in order:

1.)Seinfeld
2.)Fraiser
3.)South Park
4.)Futurama
5.)Simpsons
6.)King of Queens/Everyone Loves Raymond (almost the story of my family)
7.)Home Improvment
8.)Fresh Prince
9.)Scrubs
10.)Aqua Teen

Going try out Happy Endings dvds soon heard great things.
Also they need to do an American Peep Show..only saw one episode my buddy showed me. It was really funny.

[TylerDurden99]

It's probably Seinfeld, one of the few shows I can watch again and again.

[ThomasP]

Breaking Bad or Arrested Development.

[Critics]

Breaking Bad is a great show, and i'll have to go give Seinfield a watch one day.

Why not just watch the UK version?

Also, I don't know if you've seen them or not, but can I recommend Mad Men, The Wire and The House Of Cards Trilogy.

[Critics]

I tried watching Mad Men, but just couldn't get my self past the third episode.

[Proximity]

Firefly, Band of Brothers, Workaholics at the moment.

[kinosis]

Heroes (even though the first season is by far the best), The Walking Dead, Dexter

[Critics]

Workaholics is pretty funny, watched it with a friend. Heroes I fell in love with, was a great show from start to finish for me. The Walking Dead I only got to see season 1. Haven't got a chance to watch Dexter yet.

[Nausicaä]

I stopped watching Heroes when series 2 started, what a bore. Totally went off that series. If you want fabulous 'superheroes' watch the British series Misfits. :D

Dexter on the other hand, adore it. You must start to watch it Critics.

[Gabrielle947]

Now I'm watching Burn Notice,since the sixth season started,I adore that show!

[Critics]

I'm going to have to go to a local movie/game rent store one of these days and rent Dexter (season 1)

The first time I watched through Heroes I loved the first season, hated 2 & 3, and thought 4 was okay (with the exception of everything involving Claire). I recently watched through all 4 seasons again with my brother and while I still think season 1 is the best, 2 was much better than I remembered. 3 is where a lot of bad writing seemed to come in (I believe the writers strike was going on at the time). Season 4 seemed a little more like season 1, but I hated the Claire stuff even more this time because it seemed so pointless and distracted from everything else which was much more important.

You might want to check out gohastings.com, they have really cheap used seasons sometimes. My brother bought all 4 seasons of Heroes recently for around $20 combined (the last season cost him more then the first 3 I believe). I'm sure Dexter would be on there as well.

[Flimmaker1473]

Heros had perhaps the best first season of any show I have ever seen. There was no way they were going to follow that up. Shame too the only reason I kept watching was because of Hayden Panettiere :p.

I have only watched a few episodes of Dexter and it looks like a great show. I used to also watch Entourage alot. Shows I watch right now are South Park, How I met your mother, Psych, Parks and Recreation, 30 Rock, The Big Bang Theory, Community, and Rules of Engagement. I'll catch New Girl, White Collar, Franklin and Bash, Anger management, Perception and workaholics when I can.

[Critics]

I am watching High Stakes Poker now, I have all 7 seasons. I watched this when it was aired on the television years ago and finally decided to get them on DVD.

[Slimgee55]

I have to say that Monk will always be my favorite TV show forever and ever.

[Critics]

I saw Monk on Netflix Instant Que, but it really didn't catch my attention.

[Slimgee55]

Ah its an amazing series! You just gotta get into it :D

[Mysticalunicornfart]

I agree with Nausicaa about Dexter. I'm on my third rewatch and it's still really entertaining stuff

[Critics]

Slim - I may give this show a shot in the future.
Mystic - I am going to dig up Dexter somewhere, see if I can snag a deal.

[Mysticalunicornfart]

Not to mention, Michael C Hall's ass alone is worth watching.

[Critics]

I don't know how to respond to that.

[Nausicaä]

I just bought Series 6 that was released here a few weeks back, so can't wait to start watching it.

[street sweeper]

i personally like usa originals lately. suits and burn notice are pretty much all i watch regularly right now.

not monumental shows just enjoyable

[rmk2martio]

I watch lots of TV Shows. Mostly I watch comedy series. My favorite series is Chuck. It is full of entertainment show. And I love to watch it through Otavo.tv/.

[Watcher545]

I love Louis Theroux work, does that count?
I also used to love Sliders when I was younger.

Did i mention, Mad Men? Excellent entertainment.

[The Prestige]

I've never seen Monk. I like the actor, Tony Shalhoub, but it doesn't sound too appealing just going by the looks of it.

[Skepsis93]

I'm going to have to go to a local movie/game rent store one of these days and rent Dexter (season 1)

Season 4 might be up there with the single best set of episodes of any Drama, ever. But don't skip, 1, 2 and 3 are almost as good.

[Watch_Tower]

Only fools and horses people!!!

This is the golden age for TV dramas happening right now. I think the most interesting characters and writing is going on in tv right now. The exciting part is that it is just gearing up.

[Voigan]

#1. Avatar: The Last Airbender
#2. Teen Titans
#3. The Muppet Show
#4. Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends

South Park's always been a long time favourite for me. The last few seasons have been sorta whack, but I'm diggin these black friday episodes.

Also has anyone heard of "Friday Night Dinner"? It's a pommy show. One of my favourites! Very funny.

You might have expected me to show up here after my replies in the Inbetweeners thread!

But yeh, I thought that was a really good little show, although I haven't heard many people talk about it. Despite being an Inbetweeners fan, I wasn't that mad about Will's character in this, my favourite characters are the dad and Jim. I had actually completely forgotten about the show, although a quick check on wiki shows me that season 3 should be showing at the beginning of next year :)

[Jeff]

The Killing, the show that kicked off the a/v part of nordic noir, and i'd like to give a fond shoutout to a British iteration of the scandi noir phenomenon that my mom loved alot Broadchurch, at some point i shall sit through the whole thing, whenever i play it with dad around he spoils plot points!!
