Best TV Show

[Professor Chaos]

I've come to the conclusion that, "To Catch a Predator" is the most creative show in television. Seriously, the whole concept of this show is hilarious.

Anyone else agree?

For proof of my belief:

Edit: How funny, yet disturbing would it be to be the people talking back to those pedo's.

IMO, television will never get any better or worse than it did with Scare Tactics.

[attila_the_hunny]

Californication.

[doob]

favorites:

Six Feet Under
The Wire

[RottenApple]

Californication.

Loved that show. Loved the music in it too. example (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ir0Rtsbkxys)

[Pooja]

Supernatural is -by far- the greatest show of all time.

Great shows that are gone now:
(First season of) Flight of the Conchords, the 4400, and Firefly.

[stopharian]

Loved that show. Loved the music in it too. example (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ir0Rtsbkxys)

yeah I love the music too. I actually really really like the intro. I don know why but there is something for me about that little piece of music.

[stuck]

To Catch a Predator used to be the best loserporn in the game. Now, that honor falls to Hoarders.

The Wire is in a league of its own.

Hells yes! I'll also agree with above posters about Californication. Rome was a huge favorite of mine too, and of course Dexter.

[C.J.Woolf]

In my very biased opinion, Monty Python's Flying Circus is the best TV show ever. But there are many great shows; I suggest breaking them out into categories.

[Spartan26]

I've come to the conclusion that, "To Catch a Predator" is the most creative show in television. Seriously, the whole concept of this show is hilarious.

Anyone else agree?Not that I feel any sympathy for the peds, but the show's not pure enough for my tastes. I can't remember to recite them now but I do remember reading about some of the crap the producers were doing to sorta "sweeten the pot" to bring out prevs for bigger on-camera busts.

I've never been a fan of reality programming but it's all so scripted now, if they're going to do it I'd at least like to see one truly honest moment.

I'll have to think of what's the most creative show. The concept of 24 I'd say is pretty good. Some things they did in first few seasons added to that. American Gladiators was pretty innovative. From a "producer screwed me over" standpoint, I gotta say Power Rangers. People would go in and complain about not getting their check and then have to prove they were really wearing the red leotard mask and show people in AFTRA office some kung fu moves. Sh#t, if I worked there I'd pee myself.

I really liked Soap as a kid, though I'm sure I was missing a bit w/things going over my head but it had some great wit. Same w/watching re-runs of Get Smart. I read this book Chuck Amuck about Chuck Jones and the development of Loony Toons. What struct me was the intricite attention to detail of characterization. Such amazing layering to some of the early ones which many points they were trying to make were lost on subsequent generations of creative folk who worked on them.

[Wise Fool]

Sopranos
Mad Men
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Always Sunny in Philadelphia

[Polemarch]

Does anyone remember VR5?

[skatealex2]

For me i think arrest development, x-files , twin peaks and early simpsons episodes have passed the test of time

I think Lost has some of the most intriguing mythology I've experienced on tv, i've never been looking more forward to a series finale

[kali]

http://thebraindrain.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/freaks_and_geeks_tv1999.jpg

[starjots]

Arrested Development (humor)
Supernatural (weird stuff)
Stargate SG-1 (sci-fi - minor gripe: over-reliance on super weapons)
Kung Fu

I'd throw in Firefly but hard to know with only 13 episodes...

[md5fungi]

Best of all time: Seinfeld, Arrested Development, Star Trek
Best right now: Dexter

[saltymander]

Wonder Showzen

[DoomBagel]

I catch reruns of The X-Files and Star Trek when I can.

[Trentham]

Comedy - Seinfeld
Drama - The Sopranos
Sci Fi - ST: Deep Space Nine (first season of Battlestar Galactica was astounding television, but DS9 was a better overall series)


The only current programs I watch with any regularity are House and South Park.

[vSv]

Twin Peaks.

[djm]

Twin Peaks.

What he said.

[Jen]

regulars on dvr-
big bang theory

daily show with john stewart
cobert report
the soup

ones i miss-
sopranos
futurama
seinfeld
coupling (uk)
friends

[Managarmr]

I have to back up the Dexter citations. INTJ's make some of the best characters. The show isn't flawless, but it's definitely my current number one.

Btw, super cliffhanger episode for season 4. Apparently a lot of people are pissed, but the implications for the beginning of season 5 are awesome.

[MaliceXLove]

Stuff I'm watching now:
True Blood
United States of Tara
Curb Your Enthusiasm (casually)
NCIS (casually)
Family Guy
I might watch American Idol this year, if only for the Ellen factor.
The Late Show with David Letterman
House, M.D. (casually)
Dexter (casually)
Colbert Report (casually)
The Daily Show with John Stewart (casually)
Real Time with Bill Maher (religiously)

The best show of all time?
Friends
You can't deny it. It was the bomb.

[Scott]

I'm pretty surprised Battlestar Galactica hasn't been mentioned. Much as it gets pegged as 'just' a nerd show by a lot of people, I can't see how anyone could watch it and not be pretty blown away.

Also, Firefly and Angel.

[MadamI'madaM]

Larry David really impressed me with the latest season of CYE.

The last one was kind of in the shitter.

[I'mDying]

Oh god...
Angel
The late late show with craig ferguson
Star Trek TNG
Doctor Who
Weeds
Californication
Farscape

[Miss Van Gogh]

House
six feet under
sopranos
x-files

Seinfeld - the old times!

[MoneyJungle]

I've started watching Fringe for the last few weeks. I really enjoy the overall presentation. I was hesitent when I saw that Joshua Jackson plays the main character, but I have been entertained the few episodes I've watched. Reminiscent of the X-Files in the early years.

[RT_Jackson]

The only two shows I've enjoyed enough to buy on dvd are Arrested Development and Battlestar Galactica. Community might be getting added to that list after the season is over.

[TheNilesEdge]

I've changed my mind. Californication. Absolutely.

[Zelda]

A few past and present faves:

Breaking Bad
House
Big Love
Dexter
Six Feet Under
Will and Grace
SNL (early-mid 90s)
Seinfeld

[Pooja]

These are the shows that I love:

Supernatural
South Park
Weeds
Dexter
Community
House
Lie to Me
30 Rock
Modern Family
Lost
Fringe
The Daily Show
The Office
Leverage

[ed_dunn84]

Without a doubt, Futurama is best show that ever was or ever will be.

[Within]

Dexter
Dollhouse
Black Lagoon
Heroes
Dark Angel
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
Any of the Stargate series are entertaining as well.
Edit: Firefly, how could I forget!

[aether]

Firefly

[jyng1]

I hate to say a remake, but Reggie Perrin with Martin Clune is significantly better than the 70's "Fall and rise of Reginald Perrin".

[kali]

I stopped watching TV when I was 12 (moved onto the internet, which was more interactive) so nearly all my favourite TV shows are cartoons.

Growing up I was a massive murder mystery fan, and whenever Monk (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0312172/) came on TV I nearly creamed my crotch in excitement.

[Kirai]

House, Torchwood, Doctor Who.

I watch Supernatural too, but I'm pretty ambivalent about it. Saw a few episodes of Dexter, but disliked the main actor.

[Spartan26]

I hate to say a remake, but Reggie Perrin with Martin Clune is significantly better than the 70's "Fall and rise of Reginald Perrin".I remember seeing that show in the 80's. I really thought it was funny. When were new episodes produced/ Is it in first run now? I could barely tell you two things about what I saw but that title and knowledge of when it would air always stuck w/me. I'd always watch when it was on.

It's just started here, but don't know when it started in the UK. It's still the first series. Being at least twenty years since the first show means it will probably be new to a lot of viewers, but even so it's definitely better. I like Martin Clune anyway as he most often plays the introverted, extententialist, but this is typical English humour at it's very best.

[INThoughtPolice]

Star Trek Next Gen. and Gol Premium (Gol TV)

[Flatchett]

I don't watch many cartoons, but Archer is excellent. It has that mix of the absurd and silly and the brainy and obscure which I adore. It's a bit like Arrested Development in that regard.

I have a soft spot for Community as well. Alison Brie.:wub:

I realized last week that there is a new series of QI so I've been catching up on that too. Brilliant show.

[synagogue]

King of the Hill
The McLaughlin Group
COPS
Three's Company
Incredible Hulk

[untitled]

Here's a few I like

Arrested Development
30 Rock
The Simpsons (New episodes suck!)
King of the Hill

I watch WAY more than that, but it would be bashed to fuck on here.

[Pooja]

I just started watching this British show called "Peep Show" through Netflix. It's really funny, but I've never yelled at the tv so much.

[Spartan26]

I don't watch many cartoons, but Archer is excellent. It has that mix of the absurd and silly and the brainy and obscure which I adore. It's a bit like Arrested Development in that regard.Jessica Walter, who played the mom on Arr Dev is in Archer. She's great.



The McLaughlin GroupI haven't watched that show in years. I really used to be into it. Who's the main panelists these days?

[synagogue]

I haven't watched that show in years. I really used to be into it. Who's the main panelists these days?


Now it's Eleanor Clift, Pat Buchanan, & Monica Crowley. (I only started watching in the past 5 years so I dunno if this had changed.) Clarence Page & Mort Zuckerman are on there a lot too. I like it b/c McLaughlin actually makes a decent effort to maintain a balanced panel, and the arguments are well-made for the most part (with the exception of Crowley, who seems to me incapable of forming a sentence other than blatant, gross conservative propaganda). I'm pretty much a news/politics junkie anyways, but this is one of the few commentary shows on TV that doesn't seem already in the bag for one side or another.

[Katzchen]

I just started watching this British show called "Peep Show" through Netflix. It's really funny, but I've never yelled at the tv so much.

That, Twin Peaks, and So You Think You Can Dance are the only shows on tv I would make an effort to watch.

[Flatchett]

I just started watching this British show called "Peep Show" through Netflix. It's really funny, but I've never yelled at the tv so much.

I watched the first episode a few weeks ago and found it hilariously depressing. I identified with the David Mitchell character far more than I would like to admit.

[Pooja]

This show feels more "real" than anything else I've ever seen. It's a pity that only the first 6 episodes are available in the US.

I'm pretty sure you can watch the rest of the episodes online. The later ones are even better.

[Lorraine_Proselenes]

These have been listed as others' favorites, but also get my vote:
Futurama
House
Farscape
Lost
Battlestar Galactica

And I'll add:
Spaced
Carnivale

[kendoiwan]

The Wire
Breaking Bad

[Bugs701]

A few people have mentioned Seinfeld, but I'm a little disappointed that it's not on everyone's list. Truly disturbing, however, is the fact that nobody mentioned News Radio - the second funniest sitcom ever. Seriously, were none of you born before '98?

[camille]

[Flatchett]

Community is the best show that is currently on TV that isn't Breaking Bad.

[Spartan26]

A few people have mentioned Seinfeld, but I'm a little disappointed that it's not on everyone's list. Truly disturbing, however, is the fact that nobody mentioned News Radio - the second funniest sitcom ever. Seriously, were none of you born before '98?That was a great show. I think I'd actually prefer it to Seinfeld. Not saying it was better overall quality, just stating preference in watching.

[Limey]

I once had the fortune of meeting a programming director with a large network affiliate and I had a very candid conversation about what I thought constituted the most interesting programming from my point of view after being asked about what I thought of American TV.

I pointed out (in a somewhat sensor kind of way maybe?) that I wasn't all that interested in fiction, or light entertainment, preferring reality shows, such as those featuring actual, non-reconstruction footage of various events, documentaries, and reviews.

She was somewhat puzzled, having seemingly never met someone that had experienced everything on bulletin boards, messagegroups and the internet.

Every guy I know likes to watch "faces of death" type stuff, just about everyone is morbidly curious as to various aspects of the human psyche, we're essentially all voyeurs.

<She went away dazed>

You're welcome.

[Pseudinominous]

FIREFLY. Period.
Futurama
Doctor Who (mostly when Steven Moffat's doing the writing)
Torchwood
Supernatural

I haven't watched any of the series made out of Discworld novels, but I highly suspect that if they're well done, they'd be on this list, too.

[kali]

freaks and geeks you bastards

[jyng1]

Boston Legal was quite good
Mash for the oldies
Torchwood
Allo, Allo
The Vicar of Dibley
Black Adder
The Young Ones
Red Dwarf
The early episodes of Scrubs
House
Doc Martin
The Big Bang Theory
and to be parochial, Country Calender (if it's been on for 50 years, it's got to be good).

[Pseudinominous]

I'd never even heard of Freaks and Geeks before now.

But I want to watch it now.

[gr8ness97]

House, and Family Guy.

My other favorites are Leverage and Prison Break.

Seems like these shows have alot of -NTJ's in them....

[Will2009]

There are three shows I watch currently:

1) Breaking Bad -- best TV show at present by far, and Monday's episode was off-the-charts awesome;
2) The Big Bang Theory -- excellent writing, good cast, pretty consistent quality (and Evil Will Wheaton as a recurring guest is awesome);
3) The Simpsons -- yeah, I know the latter years have sucked compared to its heyday, but I've watched the show consistently since before it was a show, when it was just a bunch of interstitial shorts on the Tracy Ullman Show, and I read Life In Hell in grad school in the 80s.

I'm waiting for Weeds to resume in June, as it's a guilty pleasure.

Seinfeld was of course brilliant, but Curb Your Enthusiasm is in many ways even better. It's obvious now that Larry David was the real genius behind Seinfeld.

As for best sitcoms of all time, I agree that News Radio was up there, and Futurama was terrific, but I have to go with the real pioneer in redefining the sitcom as we know it. I watched it religiously as a kid in its first run, and I've loved it as an adult in syndication and now on DVD -- Mary Tyler Moore. TV doesn't get any better than that. Funny, smart, touching.

Mr. Grant: "You've got spunk!"
MTM: (blushing) "Oh, thank you."
Mr. Grant: "I hate spunk."

Genius.

Oh, if you count documentaries, then I would add Planet Earth (the gold standard), Life, The Universe, anything produced by and starring David Attenborough, and of course Cosmos by Carl Sagan.

Oh, and if you count mini-series, then Band of Brothers was the best fucking television series ever. Ever.

[krauser]

Seinfeld, That 70's show.

Oh to be an electrical contractor back in those days.

[AllAboutSoul]

Fringe, House, Destination Truth, Eureka.

[last_caress]

The Office and Dexter are just two shows I could not get into for some reason...

I don't regularly follow the office, but even not being familiar with it I find it pretty funny when I do catch the odd episode, mostly probably because of rainn wilson and steve carell.
I saw the first season of dexter and thought it was decent but stopped after the final episode because it was super hokey.

[wowcoolman]

I saw an episode of "jerry springer" the other day and i laughed so hard:

youtube dot com slash watch?v=IMhxUJMrHxg

as for actual shows, anything by Mike Judge is good. anything on Adult Swim. and other comedy shows.. it's always sunny in philadelphia is gold. i also like british comedy.

Mr. Show with Bob Odenkirk & David Cross is probably the greatest show thats ever been on television

some sci-fi shows i like but i find most of them to be garbage. fringe is good. and i once watched the entire stargate sg1 series within two months..

i've been watching that new show V but only because Morena Baccarin is in it and she is awesome

Supernatural is the cheesiest piece of shit show on space. The next generation is pretty gay. I'm a big fan of the original series, but come on? How could anyone in their right mind like that spineless bald guy who is a sad excuse for man or a starship captian ...

The best show on TV, up until season 6 which was complete bullshit, was Lost. If you were too full of shit to watch it because of the fact that there was such a big "hype" about it, then thats too bad. This show induced more thinking into its viewers than any show on television ever has. Besides that I live the new series "V", and a few other's I don't feel like listing...

I'd watch 30 minutes of that.

Edit: promo says the show starts march 2010 lol

[fduniho]

I have loved so many TV shows, it makes it hard to pick favorites. I will list some by genre:

SCIENCE FICTION: Caprica, Roswell, Battlestar Galactica. When I was younger, Doctor Who reigned as my favorite science fiction show.

SUPERHERO: Heroes, Smallville. I was once so into Lois & Clark that I would miss new episodes of the Simpsons to watch it, but Smallville is way better.

COMEDY: Green Wing, Monty Python, Sarah Silverman.

CARTOON: South Park, Futurama.

HORROR: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Vampire Diaries. Buffy was my all-time favorite show when it was on the air, but I'm also really enjoying Vampire Diaries. Kindred: The Embraced deserves an honorable mention. It had potential but didn't last.

SWORD & SORCERY: Xena, Warrior Princess. This was probably my favorite show before I started watching Buffy, and it remains my favorite in its genre.

NEWS: Colbert Report, Daily Show. Among the shows I watch regularly, these are my least favorite, and I sometimes fall several weeks behind in watching them. I prefer fiction to news, but these shows make the news more entertaining and help keep me informed, since I don't watch other news shows.

[SensEye]

Due to the stand alone episode nature of comedy shows, I only watch them if they happen to be on when I'm watching TV. Which isn't that often. So while I like South Park, Family Guy, etc. I probably only see a handful of episodes a season.

I'm not into Law & Order or CSI, so there goes 75% of the dramas on network television.

I loved Battlestar Galactica. There seems to be no buzz about Caprica, and I have not seen any episodes. It's on my download list. Missed the last two seasons of Lost. Also on my download list.

Looking forward to Dexter (more dl since I don't get HBO).

[Devleer]

Doctor who hands down

[carbon cold]

I loved Battlestar Galactica. There seems to be no buzz about Caprica, and I have not seen any episodes

I saw the pilot and the second and/or third episode. It's not bad, it just mirrored BSG in all the wrong ways: all the ridiculous melodrama and none of the brilliant characterization to make up for it. It may have gotten better as episodes progress.


I've never really been into TV/shows. Don't know why, I just find film in general to be lacking a 'grab me' quality. The first five seasons of House were excellent, the second season of Dollhouse amazing..

/meanders off

[Qlippoth]

I'm a big Joss Whedon fan, so all his stuff. I (almost)unapologetically like Glee. Extras was an awesome series.

[Stigmata]

Seinfeld, That 70's show.

Current: The Office. Steve Carrel and Rainn Wilson are mind blowing.

Seasons 1-3 were amazing,the show seemed way more genuine and really relate able, and around the middle of season 4 on up it became less of a show about the social awkwardness between colleagues and dumb ed down into more of a lets see the wacky misadventures of Michael Scott.

[BlinkandThink]

Arrested Development, Freaks & Geeks, Mr. Show, Doctor Who, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Flight of the Conchords, The Office (u.k. version), A Bit of Fry & Laurie, The Young Ones, Strangers With Candy, Seinfeld, early Simpsons, King of the Hill, Peep Show, Summer Heights High, Six Feet Under, X-Files, The Daily Show, The Sopranos

[qualia]

I have never seen a "meh" IT crowd.

[greenblob]

30 Rock, The Office, Community (they're going to have a second season!)

[Stigmata]

Another great show I haven't seen anyone list is eastbound & down, the show is absolutely hilarious and I can't wait for season 2.

Supernatural is -by far- the greatest show of all time.

Great shows that are gone now:

Agree with above, and also Breaking Bad. The writers for these two shows are amazing...

Atheistunite:
It's funny you say that, because I was just about to recommend "post-sobriety" New House. I caught a few episodes of "Old House" and it bored me. Every episode had the same predictable, flat writing/plot. But now, the writing is zingy and funny, and the plots are more personal. Maybe I didn't see enough episodes of "Old House" and that's why I have such a low opinion of drugged-up House.

Yeah, I stopped watching the show a couple seasons ago as, while the first couple seasons were great, it had become incredibly formulaic. It really needed a change of tempo. I've heard good things about the "New House", but haven't gotten around to seeing if it is worth watching again for myself.

I recommend seasons 1 to 3, when house had the original team, Cameron, Chase, Foreman. House was definitley more interesting, and 90% of the show didn't consist of social life outside the hospital. House is slowly but surely turning into a glorified Grey's Anatomy.

other than the obvious, 'the walking dead', my latest favorite is 'sherlock', the new television series (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherlock_(TV_series)).

Glad to hear you are getting Sherlock. I was lead to believe the States wasn't getting it ever. Is is rather good. Further I was glad to see it is relatively free from BBC tampering (no odd gender balance, no skewed racial representation, etc. etc.)

i'm watching sherlock here (http://stagevu.com/user/Snitch).

Yeah, Sherlock was pretty damn good.

I just started torrenting The Rob Brydon Show. It's decent, for a talk show.

7. Summer Heights High (best aussie satire ever)

Brilliant.

I have to say that Rescue Me has been incredible for the last few years and is easily the best current drama on television.
