Your 3 favourite TV series?
 

You dont have a favourite TV series thread?

Mine are
Titus
Firefly

and far off on the third place...no, I really can´t decide..too many good TV shows...maybe House, Buffy, Mad about you, Action, Scrubs, Malcolm in the middle or Allie McBeal? I think I´ll go with only two favourites.

Maybe I should re-name the thread then?

Three is really not that much, but Im going to limit myself to running series then;)

House/Lost
My Name is Earl/ Californication
Dexter

wait... thats five... well...just couldnt make a clear decision:paranoid:

I adore:
the old Doctor Who series
Pushing Daisies
Twin Peaks

So hard to choose!!! But I'll have to go with

House
Quantum Leap
Six Feet Under

you mean current or "of all time" kinda thing ?

I could go for a marathon of Gilligans Island, or the old Outer Limits...
can't decide on a third right now.

Hmmmm.....


Drama

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
The West Wing, right up until Aaron Sorkin and Tommy Schlamme left.
ER, up to about Season 8.

(Close calls: Firefly, Angel, Babylon 5, Deep Space Nine, The Practice (through season 4), Picket Fences, NYPD Blue, CSI, Law & Order)

Comedy

The Simpsons
How I Met Your Mother
Family Ties

(Close calls: Friends, Cheers, WKRP in Cincinnati, Family Guy, Robot Chicken, Three's Company)

Over time, these 3 series have held my interest the most I'd guess:

Fawlty Towers
All Creatures Great and Small
Star Trek in it's various guises, but more so the first 3 series than the last 2.

Other stuff high on the list: Life on Mars, Top Gear, MASH, Blackadder, Law & Order

Thinking about this quickly for a minute...

Lost
The Simpsons (before it jumped the shark)
24

in a few years, "30 Rock" might be on that list, probably replacing 24 unless Bauer gets his act together...

playing right now: Breaking bad. the office. Southpark.

Sci-fi top 3: BSG, firefly, Buffy/angel.
comedy top 3: southpark, simpsons, Arrested Development.
there's too much good to limit myself.

I'll have to go with...

Buffy
Angel
Freaks & Geeks (even though it was only one season long...sigh.)

Runner-ups would be Quantum Leap and the Wonder Years

Battlestar Galactica
The West Wing
Magnum PI

House
Heroes
LOST
Weeds


I left the last two on there because I only watch them on DVD because I hate commercials.

1. Lost (by a long shot)
2. Survivor
3. The Office US version (distant third, didn't really like the last 2 seasons)

Mmm, Tom Selleck in short shorts driving a Ferrari. Yum. Yes, please, I'd like some more.

My three:

Star Trek: The Next Generation
Scrubs
Family Guy

The Office (US)
Dexter
Inside The Actors Studio

I only watch 3 series.

Life
Lost
House

I watch an episode of Law and Order every now and then, but that's about the extent of my TV viewing.

south park
lost
deadliest catch/ice road truckers

South Park -So hilarious.

Freaks and Geeks -Completely agree with the sigh above. I related to this show so well when it was on.

Grounded for Life -I've always really loved this show. It keeps me laughing.

Okay I simply can not limit it to 3. But the ones I am listing are the only TV I really watch outside of discovery channel... and I actually don't watch any of these on TV, I download them and put them on DVD's or an external HD I have that hooks into the TV.

Lost
Prison Break
The 4400
Star Trek TNG
The Office

Twin Peaks
Nip/Tuck
Highlander

Oz

The Wire

The Dog Whisperer

West Wing (up to season 4)

Mad Men

The Venture Bros.

Good pick. I'd actually probably replace my pick of Family Guy with Venture Bros.--it's just I end up watching Family Guy more often because it's on television a lot more. The new season is awesome, but it's sooo hard to stay up late, so we usually just watch it on the Cartoon Network website--therefore it's kind of hard for me to think of it as a television series :)

Heroes / Prison Break / Ugly Betty / Family Guy / Simpsons

1. Dexter
2. The Shield
3. Six Feet Under

Rescue me, Rob and Big, and Jackass was a hell of a good show to get rid of some stress

Well, I download them. http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w...es/whistle.gif

What I like about the show are the strong secondary characters, you don't get that in any other show, cartoon or not. I agree with the awesomeness of the new season, fantastic back stories that let you see this first two seasons with new eyes.

this is so pretty tough.

Animated:
South Park
Family guy
Squidbillys

the non animated shows would probably be:
Attack of the Show
Grounded for life (so awesome, im happy abc family picked it up.)
mr. show with bob and david.

It has to be hands down:

Doctor Who
House M.D.
Flight of the Conchords (even though that was on HBO)


Runners up would be:
Threshold, Surface, Supernatural, Trailer Park Boys, Firefly, MythBusters, Family Guy, American Dad, Simpsons, Futurama
... I do watch a lot of TV so I probably missed a few

Flight of the Conchords was/is awesome!

I also like:

Dexter (I've only seen the first season though...)
Squidbillies
The Deadliest Catch (my ol' lady got me into this one)
The Universe

Also, I don't know if it's really a "series", but When We Left Earth is pretty good stuff too!

24 hours
Lost
prison break

Right now?
House
Hell's Kitchen
Mythbusters

Ever?
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Babylon 5
The Simpsons
Yes I realize that The Simpsons isn't in my currently playing list but that's because, well really it's just lost the greatness.

I would add in Firefly but really I didn't start watching it until it was canceled and on DVD.

House
Dexter
Gossip Girl (gotta bond with your teenagers)

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Battlestar Galactica
Connections

Rome
Bones
Battlestar Galactica OR Dirty Jobs

Close runner ups for Anime include Cowboy Bebop and Evangelion.

:thumbsup: --Ethan

I think it's best to separate my current faves from my all-time faves:

Current:

Dexter
Battlestar Galactica
(tie) It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia/30 Rock

Wow, that list reminds me just how much worse the TV landscape has gotten recently. Not too long ago, we had Veronica Mars, West Wing, Scrubs was really good, Deadwood, Sopranos, Six Feet Under...and pretty soon The Shield and BSG are going off the air. Boy oh boy is it up to Joss Whedon and his Dollhouse to bring the average back up or what...


All-Time:

Simpsons (no doubter)
X-Files
Firefly


...just read Ethan's fav list while previewing my post. I swear, I came up with mine on my own!

My favorite three right now probably are in no order:

Bones
The Unit
Big Bang Theory

1.The X-Files
2. How I Met Your Mother
3. 24
4. Boomtown
5. Battlestar Galactica (reboot)

Best of British:
1. Life on Mars
2. Ultraviolet
3. Coupling

Monk = It's a blessing and a curse
Wings = Welcome to Nantucket
Cheers = Normmmmmmmmm

Sopranos
Speed Racer
Northern Exposure

The Wonder Years (far and above the rest)
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Chappelle's Show (if that counts)

1. LOST
2. My So-Called Life
3. Monk

I left this one off of my original list for much the same reason I neglected to mention the Venture Bros.--I watch it on my computer, so it doesn't feel like a TV series to me, plus I do a much better job of keeping up with the latest manga chapter over the latest anime episode. I tend to watch Naruto in spurts; it's probably time to download some more and watch a streak.

hmm, let's see

Xena
Family Guy
Robot Chicken
