Flashforward was great fun to watch.

although if i'm being honest simpsons would probably fit the best series. Even though it probably should have ended a few seasons ago.

Currently, I would say that Stargate SG1 is my favourite television series.

My favourite episodes was the one with Daniel Radcliffe and the one with Brian Cox.


I think I remember the one with Danny Rads - that was where he went on about the oldest magic trick, yeah? And Brian Cox is a keeper always.

I'd say my dream team (from the "regulars") would be Rich Hall (love him!), Bill Bailey, David Mitchell, and of course my beloved Alan. Although, come to think of it, they might have had that lineup already. It seems like they might have.

how its made, jane and her dragon, the hourly local weather updates. i'd say there have been too few worth a dam for as long as there's been television.

benny hill was pretty good. pity the guy up and died.

probably the best ever, was b5, although farscape, and even LEXX (for being so completely wrong as to be the penultimate of dark humor, not that i ever saw it actually ON television).

all the trek series were good. not always great. but good.

there really never has been a series set in the context of a culture of the kind of world i would ever actually want to live in. and yes, to me that does matter.
by that i mean not to the best of my knowledge ever shown on american tv.

legends of the dragon kings was kind of fun, but they ended it way too absolutely.

some of the animes that were made before i ever got to see any of them were pretty good.

i think that pretty much just about covers it for me.
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.

I used to like both of those but I sort of fell out of the loop I guess. I remember Johnathon Creek was either very creepy and good or boring cliche crap though, it was very hit or miss. 30 rock was usually pretty funny.

Atm all I watch is A Game of Thrones.

and I have to mention how awful the big bang theory is, just because.
we, unlike the bourgeoisie, have nothing to lose and therefore our expression will be the only honest one, our words will be the only challenging ones and our art will be the one revolutionary expression. We need new noise and new voices and new canvases to become something more than the last poets of a useless generation.

Avatar: TLA, 30 Rock, MLP:FiM, Modern Family, or South Park.

I grew up with TLA, so I just love it so much. 30 Rock and Modern Family hit the humor sweet spot for me. South Park is eh at times but is fun to watch how inappropriate it is for society. I'm not even delving into MLP because it has a thread.
