What are your favourite TV shows (past/present)?

Post by [xeno]Julios »

Here are mine, in no particular order

Breaking Bad
Lost
Firefly
Dexter
Battlestar Galactica
House
True Blood
Twin Peaks
Mad Men
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Star Trek Deep Space 9


Haven't seen The Wire or Deadwood yet, though hear they're good. Also heard decent things about Weeds. About to start watching Dead Set.

Watched a lot of six feet under many years ago, and loved it - need to watch the rest of it. Carnivale was also excellent but cut short after 2 seasons.

Ignore Weeds...the first season was funny and light-hearted and it should have ended there. It turned to shit very quickly after that and just got worse. The later seasons are still "ok" funny...but the series seemed to turn really dark and depressing.

Seinfeld
Dexter
Weeds
Nearly any nature documentary involving predators and/or sea life.

That's about it, I guess.

I also want to check out Deadwood and The Wire. I don't watch much television.

This show was pretty good... I only saw it once or twice but my female roomy at the time was positively obsessed. I don't think it even runs in syndication over here anymore.

I should've added Northern Exposure to my list as well.

Well, I could mention Kenny Starfighter, Nilecity 105,6 and High Chaparall, which are all excellent Swedish TV shows, but no one would know what I was talking about.
