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?

chucktaylor

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

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...

MexicanOnABike

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.

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

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

Wally Balls

Well, I download them.

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.

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!

Ever?
Buffy the Vampire Slayer

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.
