Jeeebuuus Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 All time? The Simpsons. No other show HAD its level of genius. Even though time took its toll. And Mystery Science Theater 3000. You don't know better. Current? Dexter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA-King Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Breaking Bad. My favorite show of all time. I doubt anything will ever top it. This scene alone is epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlowe. Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Taking into account both personal preference and quality, I've narrowed it down to a baker's dozen: 24 Arrested Development Breaking Bad Community Deadwood Game of Thrones It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia The Office (UK) Rome Seinfeld The Simpsons The Sopranos The Wire ...but then I thought twenty is a nice round, even number: Boardwalk Empire Buffy the Vampire Slayer Curb Your Enthusiasm Dexter Louie Oz South Park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentSeas Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I don't really watch too much TV nowadays, but I do love Scrubs, How I Met Your Mother and Top Gear. CSI:NY is cool as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Bundys Bedsheets Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Trailer Park Boys Anyone ever considered watching Trailer Park Boys or is firting with the idea, watch these two clips. Basically sums up what the show is about. 3 Dudes trying to make a buck but always f*cking it up in the most unimaginable fashion.

Punk-in-Drublic Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 The Sopranos, hands down. I love early Simpsons, first 12 seasons or so. Malcolm In The Middle, love that show, seen every episode numerous times over and now it isn't on TV anymore...where the hell can you buy the box set?!

Punk-in-Drublic Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Yeah, I currently on my second watching of The Sopranos. It so humorous, clever and the drama is perfect. Same! I'm at the end of season 4 now, I ended up buying the box set when it was on offer for £45 in HMV because I love it so much. When i've finished this time around I'm borrowing it to my girlfriend's dad to prevent me killing it for myself because I'll just end up starting over again lol.

GTA-King Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 @Ted Bundys Bedsheets: I also enjoyed Trailer Park Boys. Seen all of the, plus the movies. They are kind of like a real life Ed, Edd, and Eddy if you think about it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korpi Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Miami Vice. The famous "In The Air Tonight" scene from the pilot episode "Brother's Keeper", featuring a night-time drive in Crockett's Ferrari Daytona Spyder set to Phil Collins' "In The Air Tonight", is not only considered one of the best moments in the series, but one of the greatest ever moments on television. It affirmed the effectiveness of music-based scenes and provided inspiration for other sequences like it in future episodes of the show and elsewhere.

GentlemanSquid Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I am a big TV fan, shows such as Lost, X-files, Fringe, Alias, Buffy, Firefly, 24, Mad Men and Breaking Bad are among my top drama. That 70's Show, Everybody Love Raymond, Fraiser, Friends, are my favourite comedies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIKKS66 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 There are a dozen shows I've grown to love over the years but there's only one I've watched lovingly since I was a kid and will continue to watch forever... The Simpsons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Pink Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) I'm more of a film man too, well, maybe 50/50 but if you like film I'd suggest you try The Sopranos. It's very like a film in the way the characters play out. They're close to an hour long episodes and it's quite possible one of the greatest things I've ever seen. Everyone that finished a season will finish the whole show. Its unreal. Anyone that has completed it will say it's one of the best, if not the best shows they've watched. You can't do any harm, only pleasure to yourself after watching The Sopranos. When I encounter people who have liked The Sopranos, they usually would like The Wire. The writing in that show is technically better.. I mean some of the quotes and lines from the film are extremely witty, thought-provoking and are a great social commentary. Other people that like both those shows may like Boardwalk Empire too. I find the first seasons of these shows, the most difficult to get in to. I mean they are great but unlike films, they have, say 13 hours, to develop characters rather than say 1hr 30 mins of a film. These gives leeway for very creative, not rushed character development, deeper subplots, time to process thoughts on characters and just and all an all out good time stretched out over 12 or so episodes. If you think of a season as 1 film but a huge epic film and each episode as chapters, it's nice. Something always crazy happens in the second last and last episode that leaves you wanting more in the next season. Characters come and go, characters you'll love, characters you'll hate. The benefit of seasons or series/tv shows if having the time to keep stuff fresh by adding new characters and bumping some off. Truly and amazing experience. Please, all of you. Try watch one season of The Sopranos or The Wire. The only depressing thing about doing so is that the shows will end and after you watch them you'll compare everything else against them. They will raise the bar so high that you'll only demand the finest T.V after them. The Sopranos has a 9.3 rating at IMDB and the first season has a 100% rating Rotten Tomatoes. @Jake: Nice one! Watching it the second time is crazy. So much I forgot about, it's mental. It defo not boring, it's like watching it all over again except knowing the faces better and you just pick up on more stuff!

Redketman Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 The Simpsons and Two and a Half Men. I have watched the episodes over and over again but still finds them very entertaining. The best of all is that they still make episodes of these two series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vega LVI Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) Oz is, hands down, one of the most well-written TV shows I've ever seen. Lee Tergesen, J.K. Simmons, Christopher Meloni, Dean Winters, Harold Perrineau, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Ernie Hudson, Terry Kinney and all of the others are phenomenal actors. I'm also a big fan of Family Ties and The Sopranos. Edited March 16, 2012 by StoneHead37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scottish Guy Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 The Sopranos is the best f*cking series in the history of television. As I mentioned in another topic, it has everything from drama to humour to violence to sex to drugs. Everything that entertains me. I've seen every episode a hundred times and it still doesn't bore me. You seem to pick up on new things all the time. South Park and Boardwalk Empire come second. Alot of people say that if you like Sopranos you'll like The Wire. Haven't watched that yet so might give it a shot. Everything else on tv these days is some f*cking reality show with that square-headed prick Cowell dumbing down the nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Funny12 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I have to say Burn Notice is probably one of my favorite TV series. It mixes, action with drama and problems are usually solved with the least amount of gun fire possible which adds to the realism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Dildo Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 favorite TV series of all time? it's a tie. The Sopranos and Deadwood. both from HBO. I could go into why and talk for hours. but there's no point unless you've seen the shows for yourself. anyone who knows anything about the medium of storytelling and film making that has seen these shows would agree; nothing has ever really come close to being as good as they were in every aspect; the story, characters, acting, writing, direction, cinematography, editing, costume and set design. they were the perfect shows in every way and nothing before or after them has been anywhere near the same level of excellence.
