Favourite really new tv shows

fester

K, i know theres been good shows throughout the yeasrs, but tv these days aint half bad either.
Some of my favourite:

Scrubs
Stargate SG1
Malcom in the Middle
Batchelors Walk (I dont quiet understand how something this good came from RTE!!!!)

These are better than the 'classics', right?

Repli

Stargate is getting old..
I like oz and family guy

Pepe LeFrits

Yah, Stargate has been around since 1997.

I'm sure 24 will get lots of mentions although i've never seen it.

Season 1 of Alias was very good.

the celtic tiger

west wing
scrubs

Kolodny

Scrubs I find consistently hilarious. 24 looks great too but unfortunately I missed the beginning so I'm finding it hard to follow.

Curb Your Enthusiasm is the best comedy since Seinfeld, and I loved 24 although like kolodny I missed a good bit of it.:(

It didnt. Its an independant production. RTE paid for less than half of it along with the BBC.


Its not too new, but Coupling is great.

Winters

Oz!, Band Of Brothers (though its over now ), Family guy, Jackass usually provides a laugh.

pauldeehan

Scrubs, Six Feet Under and (You were right Kaids!) 24.:D

Dave

The Sopranos anyone?
Family Guy
Scrubs

the celtic tiger

i should have included six feet under in mine. great show.

BKtje

Indeed.
Six Feet Under gets my vote

m1ke

yeah im a big fan of oz,stargate,family guy and six feet under, and a few others like futurama, southpark etc... although the only really knew show is six feet under most of the rest of them have been in production since the mid-late 90s.

The Gopher

Oz is currently the best thing on tv.Unfotuneately hardly anybody I know has seen it,no matter how often I tell them to.Apart from Oz Phoenix Nights,The Royle Family and the Sopranos are the best tv to be made fairly recently.Family Guy was excellent in its first series but the second wasnt as oggd.Ive been watching the new one now though and its fairly good.

jaggeh

scrubs, west wing, alias

the celtic tiger

another one i forgot to mention is

the secret life of us.

it's great!

PiE

Freaks & Geeks, which I watched for the first time last night and was quite funny :]

And Oz.

Makaveli

Well I would say Oz but considering it's currently at the end of it's fourth and penultimate season it's hardly brand new.

Pigman

The only shows I'd bother setting the VCR for these day are Oz and Six Feet Under. Both are HBO shows coincidentally?

Scrubs was ok but the humour is wearing a little thin at this point. The show 'Popular' did humour of that ilk better IMHO.

fester

Whats this new comedy they're showing... Sausage Factory?
Haven't seen it yet (does't look great from the ad), but i'm assured that it's very funny.

kaimera

Scrubs.
Sausage Factory I've seen the last 2 episodes and tis very good stuff indeed!
24 I never got into.
Family Guy is worth watching just for Stewie!!
Is Harry on the Boat is comical!

DerekD Goldfish

sausage factory has been on rte for ages sky is miles behind
Black books is class and so if family guy and the office nad phenix nights does anyone know if either brass eye or jammed is coming back

smuckers

I would not be suprised if they did another special Brasseye, doubt there will be a second series of Jam although there was on the radio called Blue Jam.

fester

If you can find Blue Jam on the internet, you should download it. There's a lot of the same sketches as in Jam... but it;s still worth it!

I dont think i'd ever be in the mood for Jam again (one series is enough to disturb me), but it was good while it lasted

Thanx 4 The Fish

Scrubs & Peter Kay's Phoenix nights.

Scrubs wins it by a nose.

smuckers

Some of the sketches were too surreal actually they all were. some bloody hilarious ones though.

BuffyBot

Sausage Factory I've seen the last 2 episodes and tis very good stuff indeed!

Must agree - seen a few on N2, but just getting to see more now on Sky One

24 I never got into.

Same here

Family Guy is worth watching just for Stewie!!

Very! Love it.

Six Feet Under is one for in there too...plus a few others!

Elmo

24
Batchlors Walk (BBC left this one for the second serie cann't wait for it to begin)
Scrubs
OZ
Six Feet Under
Freeks And Geeks (Should have got a second series, I miss them)
Undeclared (from the people that brought you Freeks and Geeks)(So much better then Sausage Factory)
Boston Public

Old ones

The Practice, ER and friends

Caesar_Bojangle

Freaks And Geeks (Should have got a second series, I miss them)

That was cool, was there just one series?

Undeclared, quite good.

Elmo

Yep Freeks and Geeks only got one airing on NBC first time round then they stop showing it half way, then Fox bought the rights because the critics where saying how good it was. Then since all the actors had so many good things said about them the got other jobs in movies and other tv shows and thus Fox were unable to make another series. The new girl in Dawson's Creek, guy from Spiderman, Zelma in Scubby doo, etc.

CSI is another good show.

TV coming from the states gets better and better each year. British TV has gone down in the last few years. Why don't they make shows like Cracker and Prime Suspect anymore, rather then just more and more soap operas???? (Actually Waking the Dead is quite good).

And Skys version of Fear Factor looks better then the american one.

PiE

The British Fear Factor is a load of crap from what I've seen, rubbish stunts/tasks.
