Everwood, which is not very well known! The plot and script in this series are clever, funny, at times heartbreaking and believable. The characters are all quirky in their own way and each has a distinctive personality. You can relate to each character too, which is important - even when they make mistakes and hurt others. I couldn't communicate how good this series is in a few words - I'd have to write a very long review!
I am also a fan of Black Books, Black Adder, Doctor Who, American Dad, Futurama and the earlier Simpsons, but I wouldn't say I LOVED these anymore. TV shwos about food also interest me. ;) I prefer those like The Great British Menu, The Great British Bakeoff and Masterchef, but have also really enjoyed Come Dine With Me, Supersize vs. Superskinny and Hell's Kitchen.
Do anime and cartoons count here? The animes Clannad and Death Note are towards the top of my list, as are the cartoons I adored when I was a kid! Animals of Farthing Wood, Moomin, The Racoons, Jackie Chan Adventures and Chip 'n Dale: Resue Rangers will always have a special place in my heart!
i love hell's kitchen too..developing a fondness for masterchef..
any fans of white queen here? white queen, graceland and under the dome are the shows i am currently obsessed with. And i love the newsroom too (actually i pretty much like everything aaron sorkin has ever made:D )
House of Cards, at the moment I just love that show and Spacey is so great in it.
Dexter have I loved, but I can't bring myself to watch it this season. How's it going?Quote:

Brilliant, captivating, and funny. It's occupied a decent portion of my summer-free time.
Something special nice anchoring.
Lost, Dexter, and Walking Dead. Hoping to get into more soon.
I recommend True Blood and no longer think of it as a guilty pleasure. It is one of only two shows still going that I regularly watch. It is well-acted, well-written and has a perfect balance between seriousness and humour, indeed it makes me laugh very hard once or twice an episode. Don't let the vampire thing prejudice you against it like I've seen with some people. It is far more than just a bunch of beautiful people acting out familiar story-lines and themes. It is of course far from Shakespearean, but there is also more depth and nuance to it than you'll find in most other shows.
Currently watching HBO's Girls.
I don't have a TV, but I came across this YouTube video which appears to be from an Australian TV network.

Currently watching Breaking Bad on Netflix (I use my brother's log-in). It's really really good, in fact probably one of the best TV series' I've ever seen. Right up there with The Killing if not better. I'm near the end of series 2.
I love Dr. Who,Red Dwarf and The Simpsons :)
I've really gotten into Longmire lately. There is so much about that show that reminds me of home, the rural setting situated next to a reservation, filled with stoic, taciturn farmers and ranchers. It's not terrible exciting but I find it incredibly riveting because I recognize that mindset, the influences and culture.
First I'm a fan of "Scrubs". I know every episode. Currently I watch the new episodes of How I met your mother (the ninth season) just because I want to know how Ted and "the mother" get together but I also really like HIMYM. Also I'm a huge fan of BBC's Sherlock <3 I tried to watch Breaking Bad, but I had some unpleasant dreams after the first episodes o.O so I stopped. I like Twin Peaks a lot, Spin City and The Big Bang Theory (but I stopped watching TBBT because I was bored about all the love stuff, it wasn't what I expected after the brilliant first seasons). And Girls (HBO) is also one of my faves.
Your choice is so nice and my favorite Indian TV show is comedy nights with kapil.I love this show.
I am Mark Kavin. I like to watch tv shows in my free time. Californication is one of my favorite TV show. I like The role of all characters but David Duchovny and Natascha McElhone Plays important Role in Californication.
I rarely watch TV these days, but I’m enjoying the latest episode of Coke Studio.

Big Bang Theory
I've become absolutely obsessed with Supernatural, Sherlock, and Doctor Who.
Hi faithosaurus. My daughter tells me Sherlock is excellent. I've avoided watching the current series until I can get hold of series 1 & 2 from the library. As for Doctor Who, isn't the whole world waiting to see the new doctor in action? :smile5:Quote:

We finally made the decision to discontinue our cable subscription which means we now don't have any TV programming. We are limited to what we get from the library or the internet. Since we weren't watching TV, the change was almost unnoticed, except for the monthly bill reduction.
I did the same about three years ago. TV in the UK is abysmal and why would I want to watch it when I have little interest in sport and I am able to access the films and documentaries that I want to see on YouTube? A few days ago, I was reading a newspaper and idly turned to the page listing that day's TV programmes and it was mostly the same old rubbish they were showing when I ditched the TV set.Quote:

It is. All the hype you've heard about it is all true.Quote:

For the last few weeks I've been watching and obsessing over True Detective, which I would rate alongside any of the above mentioned.
It has a very literary, self-referential feel, some very clever meta-fictional moments and is full of nods to genre tropes and philosophical ideas. Also seems to be tied in to the HP Lovecraft mythos. Somehow it manages to pull all this off within a gripping, character driven story. Highly recommended.
I've fallen in love with Boston Legal, which just finished running here on one of our cable channels. Now I watch House to fill the void and it's good, but needs quite a lot of close attention to follow the medical/detective plotline, while Boston Legal was pure fun, relaxation and entertainment, but also thought provoking and emotionally engaging. I don't think I've liked a show this much since MASH. It was excellently written and excellently cast, and there was a Tarantino-like way of introducing just the right song at the right moment. Candice Bergen (Shirley Schmidt) looked great - OK sometimes she looked old but mostly she looked great, and James Spader as Alan Shore and William Shatner as Denny Crane were pure magic and genius.
I could hardly find any video clips to post here, but here's a nice fan video -

I love Doctor who, Vampire Diaries, the originals, merlin (excluding the last season) and of corse the Simpsons.
“We’re all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?”
— The Doctor
Currently : Person of Interest, Downton Abbey, Penny Dreadful, Borgia, Atlantis
Judge Judy
by far the most entertaining.
American laws at its burst.
Nice list above from mortalterror, covering the past 50 years or so. Judging from the contents of the list, however, I'll bet Fawlty Towers was omitted as an oversight, and should have been included, maybe as number 51. I would have also included the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour and, going back even a little further, the Jack Benny Show and Red Skelton.
I can't stop watching It's Always sunny in Philadelphia, seen it all three times and now I am watching it with commentary.
Penny Dreadful is great too but just want to see each show once, that is enough. Love Hannibal, he is brilliant and the ending of the last season was brilliant.
Naked and Afraid - Not just another one of those survival shows, it's really quite harsh... one man and one woman, left naked to fend for themselves for 21 days in the wilderness, or desert, or jungle. It's interesting to note though, that it's usually the women that fair better. Mental toughness seems to outweigh physical toughness.
Almost Royal - A faux reality series with two very young English aristocrats touring America. It's America bashing done in brilliant fashion! Very politically incorrect.
Tosh.0 - The show is just plain hilarious.
Impractical Jokers - Four New Yorkers strive to embarrass each other. Unlike other shows of this type, they don't set out to humiliate strangers, they just humiliate each other. They are very witty and the stunts they pull are actually quite clever.
I don't watch syndications really, ever since I was a teen. Back then though I remember VIP, X-Files, South Park, The Man Show, and that's about it that I can remember right now. I watched a lot of television when I was a teen. Now when I want to watch a show I either go see a movie or go see a play. If I couch it in my den then it's movie DVDs.
Blake's 7
Doctor Who
Quatermass 1979
Moonbase 3
Star Cops
The Tripods
Of all time, my favourite was The Sopranos.
Lately, i love to see Modern Family.
Twin Peaks. The new episodes came out yesterday... did anyone see them? I cannot believe the direction they are going with-it's both brilliant and entertaining. I think David Lynch has done it again ;))
