    Favorite ever? Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Just to be difficult but in all seriousness TTSS is one of the best things ever produced for TV.

    Tempted to rename poll to "Your favourite TV drama out of this random tiny subset of mainstream shows from the last 20 years".

    Too harsh? :)

    Breaking Bad for me (not on the list)

    Breaking Bad ftw

    Buffy is by no means a drama.

    Define drama? Serious straight laced shows like Mad Men and The Wire?
    Buffy was light enough fare for the most part, but had some very sharp writing and great chemistry between the cast.

    There's a small number of those that would be drama. Just rename the thread "Random TV shows - pick one"

    Flawed poll is flawed..! :(

    Of course 'Buffy' was a drama. Watch an episode like 'The Body' and tell it's not a drama!

    Every single show above is a drama.. it may tread into other genres (Sci-Fi etc) but it's a drama at it's core.

    Not voting as:

    a) I can't pick just one
    b) there's so many classics missed out on
    c) no Atari Jaguar! :(

    Freaks and Geeks...

    But that's not in the poll, so I just voted for The Wire.

    Re: the Buffy argument.
    It was definitely a drama - the key moments in that show revolved around drama. Fantastic series, that I'm rewatching for the 5th time at the moment - don't think there's many shows I'd rewatch that often, which says a lot about it.

    Yeah I'm watching season 4 at the moment (every night on SyFy)

    An episode called Hush is on next week (SyFy, Monday @ 2pm and 7pm, and Tuesday morning at 4:20am for the insomniacs)..... it'll be a revelation to you if you haven't seen it before. Superb episode, and was nominated for an Emmy.

    Edit: Congrats on 4k posts, Cap.... :)

    Ahhh.. 'Hush' is absolutely superb.

    I'd love to be rewatching them all again actually.
