What is your favourite tv show of all time?

I think only fools and horses would have to be one of mine....

Ally McBeal! would love to see some repeats (mind you i have the boxsets)

For me it's a photo finish between The Wire and The Sopranos. On my list also is Carnivale, Generation Kill and The Corner. Have series 1 & 2 of Breaking Bad and will definitely be purchasing Series 3 & 4 when they are available in Region 2 format.Brilliant stuff and all have one thing in common. HBO.

charlemont

Son of the Beach..:cool:

MissKK

Oh there are just too many shows that I love...Boardwalk Empire has to be a favourite at the moment but I must say Prison Break was amazing veered off towards the end but the first season was so original!

pdbhp

SledgeHammer.
What a program totally whacked out, best cop show ever.

Ruu_Old

Too many to mention. I miss China Beach though.

Star Trek: The Next Generation (one with Picard)

2. X Files
3. X Files

Gillian Anderson is just amazing :cool:

Bearhunter

Possibly Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, if only because it is still brilliant after 30-odd years.

Im with you on Only Fools, but I think Shameless is my favourite (the UK version) especially the earlier ones.
I used to love The Fresh Prince of Belair when I was a kid, its back on Nickelodean now and I see the kids enjoying it and singing the theme tune....

Completely agree with Shameless...great show! American version isn't that bad either!

Are we only looking for retro shows?
Some here are very recent, the US version of Shameless is out this year

All things retro?

leonidas83

Nip tuck was a class series

The Princess Bride

I used to enjoy Tenko, back in the day.
More recently, I think Friends was enjoyable- nothing like a good laugh to lift my spirits.
Can honestly say,there's nothing on tv now that I really enjoy- it's pretty much hit and miss at the best of times.

PennyLane88

Only fools and horses was just pure class. Never gets old.

Exactly - whenever there is an episode on the TV, I try and watch it. Its still brilliant.

"Rodney, you plonker"

The Princess Bride

Had a flashback today to a show from late 70s,early 80s maybe,- Holmes and YoYo,anyone remember it?
A funny pair of detectives,YoYo being a robot.....a bit daft.

Sopranos was excellent but would you not agree that it was ruined by the character AJ? and way too much time dedicated to his teen angst, very predictable and unnecessary.

KERSPLAT!

Sopranos, Generation Kill but my favorite so far.... The Shield!!! Best show ever!! Have watched the 1st season of The Wire and really likes it but season 2 ( only watched 2eps) was crap so I gave up, will probably try again

It was the only Star Trek series I couldn't look at it was that bad.

I cant understand it either. Recycled plots and secondary characters, inconsistent & improvised story of 'lost' proportions, dreadful acting - yet I loved it.

It's was too grim and edgy without actually managing to be grim and edgy. I remember that "epic" story towards the end for one particular reason, there was this Cardassian fella who'd turned to drink because of the war. They couldn't have him exactly acting like an alco so they just had him standing around with a glass in his hand and occasionally sipping it. Total cop-out.

I preferred TNG and VOY. At least you got what you expected there, annoyingly perfect and optimistic folk cheerfully sticking it out and cracking stupid jokes until they solved whatever this weeks problem was.

Only because J.R. was in it, best bad guy ever who wasn't played by Lee Marvin.

Best for a laugh had to be The Dukes Of Hazzard
