What is your favourite TV-show?

Unread post

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!)

I forgot the Tudors! That show is supremely well-done (except for all the computer-generated images of old London :lol:). 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".

Chris, I'm afraid I have never heard of those TV-shows... What are they about and why do you like them so much?

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."
