What is your favourite TV-show?
Well, to complete the list of 'What is your favourite...', what is your favourite TV-show? Are you a Gleek, are you a Desperate Housewife or do you still moan over the loss of ER?
My personal favourites: ER, Gilmore Girls Right now catching up with: Glee and Lost Stopped watching: Grey's Anatomy and Desperate Housewives Guilty pleasure: Project Runway and I have to admit, Gossip Girl (although the writing is very, very bad!)

M*A*S*H is my all-time favorite show. It'll never get old.
What else...
Heroes for sure. Unless they kill off Sylar, then I'll stop watching. Whose Line Is It Anyway? is always hilarious. Community Big Bang Theory So NoTORIous. It was only one season, but it was AMAZING. xD Aaaand Criminal Minds.

I forgot the Tudors! That show is supremely well-done (except for all the computer-generated images of old London ). It even made me stand Jonathan Rhys-Meyers for more than five minutes...

Arrested Development. - maybe best show ever.
The Venture Brothers. (cartoon network, Adult Swim) - Hilarious Johnny Quest in real life. Lost - Obvious
Supernatural (CW network) ghost stories and americana
Upright citizens Brigade (used to be on Comedy Central) Comedy. Just rediculous. Go to Youtube and look for "Ass pennies".
30 Rock (NBC) Very funny.
Futurama
The Daily Show (comedy central) comedians holding people's feet to the fire. Seems like, though they make jokes, they have more journalistic integrity than a lot of news shows. I'm looking at you CNN and Fox "News".

Re: What is your favourite TV-show?
Some long-ago government report called TV a "vast wasteland"--but while there's always been a lot of junky shows, some I've really liked. And I'd go as far as to say that TV shows, esp. with HBO, etc., are way ahead of Hollywood movies in originality and overall creativity. Unfortunately, I'm a cable-less person, so I can't sample as much as I'd like.
Favorite current shows: "The Office," "30 Rock," "60 Minutes" (always), "Friday Night Lights", and "Inspector Lewis." Starting to watch "Mad Men" on dvd and it's looking really good. There seems to be a lack currently of series that are about real people and issues. That's why I like "Friday Night Lights," even though not a big football fan.
Favorite past shows: "The Prisoner" (now a remake, I hear), "Deadwood," "ER," "Freaks and Geeks," "Seinfeld," "Prime Suspect," "All Creatures Great & Small," "Upstairs, Downstairs."

Old or defunct shows I love . . .
Andy Griffith Show Dick Van Dyke Show MASH Deadwood Arrested Development X Files Star Trek, Star TRek: TNG
Current shows . . . The Simpsons!!! Lost (Just started season 1. Man, this show is so engaging) 30 Rock Breaking Bad (renewed for third season. Stars Malcolm in the Middle dad, Bryan Cranston) - This is a very intense and dark show on AMC.

Lewis is good! Unfortunately they don't broadcast it anymore here in the Netherlands... but I really like the pace and the stories... You should try "Inspector Morse" as well, it's Lewis' predecessor (and Lewis is in some of its episodes too).

Re: What is your favourite TV-show?
I never watched "Morse," but wish I had. The relationship between Lewis and his partner (whose name escapes me) was what drew me into the "Lewis" series. My wife and I joked that Oxford must be the murder capital of the world. We have many crime investigation shows on TV, of course, like the CIS shows, but I've never watched any of them. The ads make them appear quite sensationalized, whereas the British shows do keep in mind that murders are human tragedies. Did you watch "Prime Suspect"? That's probably my favorite of all the cop shows.
