Best TV series?

Postby Sunata » Mon Apr 09, 2012 4:33 am

What's your favourite TV series of all time, it can be comedy, drama, action or anything really.

I'd personally have to say Spooks :P

Eh. Bit silly to rank things according to "best". The Simpsons would probably qualify simply because they've managed to stay on the air so long, thus appealing to a sufficiently large demographic to justify it. Yet I personally adore Firefly, which failed to do that and was cancelled after a season.

At present I like 30 Rock and Jonathan Creek. It's hard to pick a favourite because my tastes always change, though.
This was formerly a signature. One day, it may return to its splendid past. In the meantime, enjoy some pictures of my cats.

The original Doctor Who series. I like the new one ok, but there was something about the first series that captivated me. I also like MMA shows and shows like Pawn Stars, Cajun Pawn, Hardcore Pawn, the World's Dumbest series and American Pickers.

Well . Peep Show, The Inbertweeners, Family Guy and The Simpsons. All time favorites that have been ruined by the later seasons! Blackader is still hilarious and I am a die hard Red Dwarf fan I suppose. Oh and eveyrone loves the Apprentice. I also manage to watch question time every week not beacuse I enjoy it Dimbleby isn't very hard on the pannel who 9/10 give lame croud pleasing answers, but beacuse it makes me feel like im doing atleast some work to my degree rather than watching tv!

Cracker I suppose. I like a lot of other programmes too, it's actually a fairly difficult question. Cracker only wins because at the moment I feel like watching. Programmes that are on telly miss out this way because I know when I'll watch them next.

Oooo, I think Breaking Bad takes that one. But Justified is definitely next.
