What is your favourite TV show of all time?

#1 Edited by big_jon (5174 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

Mine is Roseanne, this family became an extension of my own in a sense.

1. Roseanne

My favourite show of all time.

2. Dexter
Great show dark, deep, staying strong for the most part.
3. The Simpsons

Seasons 1 through 8 were gold, I will not speak of the trash that they have become.

4. American Dad!
I think this is a great show, Roger is hilarious.
5. Star Trek: Voyager
Loved this show, the only Star Trek I truly loved.

What is yours?

Boy Meets World.

#3 Posted by Atramentous (2473 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

M.A.S.H. followed by News Radio.

For animated tv shows it would be Futurama.

#4 Posted by Daneian (835 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

Arrested development and West Wing

Frasier by far.

#6 Posted by DillonWerner (1514 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

Too many to chose from. I would have to say either Firefly, Arrested Development or Full Metal Alchemist.

#7 Posted by eagles_band (159 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

Seinfeld

#8 Edited by believer258 (8175 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

It's a tie between MASH, Bacccano, Scrubs, and Full Metal Alchemist.

There. I can't decide and don't want to. All of those are so far different that comparisons don't amount to much.

Aw damn. We got a Mustang here!

Probably South Park.

Not saying it's the best show on TV or anything but it just has so much nostalgia value for me. The one constant in my life has always been South Park, so despite quality, it basically has to be my favorite show.

#10 Posted by Imensae (137 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

The Wire, after finishing it I can still go back to random episodes and find stuff that I never noticed first time round

Never enjoyed a show more than I am enjoying Boardwalk Empire.

#13 Posted by JaredA (760 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

Arrested Development or Spaced. I can't decide which is more amazing....

#14 Posted by mosespippy (2700 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

ZeD. It is why I have such a high standard for film, TV, music, writing and art. It opened my eyes to just how great the best of each medium can be.

#15 Posted by HarlequinRiot (1094 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

The Twilight Zone. I just love everything about it: the idea, the stories, the (now) retro-ness.

#16 Posted by AhmadMetallic (18957 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

South Park. It has the most hilarious little touches and lines, it has horror episodes, it has drama, it has gross shit, it has everything.

#17 Posted by ThePickle (3703 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

Arrested Development, although recently I have been loving the hell out of The Wire and am consistently thrilled by Game of Thrones. Oz might still be my favorite HBO show though.

If I had to choose one, probably The Simpsons (Seasons 3-12). Although I really enjoy older episodes of The Office, Game of Thrones, Arrested Development, Friday Night Lights and a little known show called School Rumble.

#23 Posted by frankfartmouth (922 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

Arrested Development. Followed closely by the Simpsons when it was at its peak

Futurama. It's the only show to ever make me cry of both laughter and sadness.

I can't pick. My answer would probably change every time you asked me.

#29 Posted by Kraznor (1505 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Runner-up prize goes to Mad Men, followed by Community (though Dan Harmon leaving is distressing to me. Still, three amazing seasons)

#30 Posted by bozosc (103 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

batman the animated series, house just to name a few

#31 Posted by FancySoapsMan (5469 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

The Wire  

#32 Edited by Dagbiker (6409 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

Is it wrong that everybody's answers made me look at the posted date to see if this thread was from the 1990's?

Mine would be Doctor Who, or Paranoia Agent.

Jericho

Damn it, for got about Jericho.

#33 Posted by Clonedzero (2255 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

absolutely due to pure childhood nostalgia i have to give it to Batman: The Animated Series.

by god! what a great show. i'm going to make my future kids watch that show.

as for shows that are currently still on tv? i'd probably say game of thrones.

#34 Edited by Kremly (5 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

Of all time I think I would go with the Blackadder series. Never gets old. My favorite tv show recently would be Breaking Bad.

#35 Edited by Still_I_Cry (2494 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

I Love Lucy.

@Kremly: Also an amazing show.

#36 Posted by Red (5930 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

Arrested Development, Freaks and Geeks, early seasons of the Office, The West Wing, and The Simpsons.

The little girl lost one is fucking awesome! I always record that one and keep it until the DVR I have dies.

Also, Since Gurren Lagann appeared on SciFi channel once. THAT! Also Southpark and FMA: Brotherhood too.

What!? Don't you mean that crazy Japanese one where people have to go through a near impossible challenge? Because if so, I loved that show!

#40 Posted by SolidOcelot (275 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

Chuck, Fringe, Breaking Bad

#41 Posted by LiquidPrince (14746 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

Chuck.

#42 Posted by spankingaddict (2464 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

Favorite Show - Dexter

Favorite Single Season Breaking Bad season 4

#43 Posted by Captain_Insano (1380 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

If you asked me when I was 17, my only answer would have been M*A*S*H.

Now I don't know. So many HBO series that I really enjoy (Sopranos, Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire etc).

Community is consistently great still at this stage, so too was Arrested Development. I just can't choose.

#44 Posted by FLStyle (3759 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

Doctor Who, Game of Thrones.

eh, chuck sorta fell apart for me once whats his name and girlie pants got together. after that the show no longer had a main focus, so it sorta ran around with the side characters who were side characters FOR A REASON. it was terrible.

#46 Posted by NTM (6481 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

I have to have one? I can't do that, but if I had to, I guess Star Trek: TNG. I think I like Miami Vice as much, or very close, and I like Home Improvement because it kind of reminds me of my own family, and I like Full House. The first couple of season more than the latter ones because I think (especially) Michelle, and Stephanie are cute characters and kind of remind me of how cute my cousin is and was when she was a baby, but really, other than that, Full House, while having likable characters, a great theme song that makes me want to visit San Francisco because of it, is pretty corny kids stuff.

#47 Posted by PerryVandell (2093 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

Dexter, Breaking Bad, Justified, Archer, Arrested Development, Community and The Daily Show.

#48 Edited by benspyda (1415 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

Comedy: Father Ted

Drama: Dexter

#49 Edited by Jay_Ray (695 posts) - 1 year, 19 days ago

Friends and Seinfeld for sitcoms.

Extras for comedy.

Lost and (I know it may be early to call but I am doing it) Game of Thrones for dramas (Sopranos is up there as well as almost everything HBO)

I loved DBZ as a 12 year old but Cowboy Bebop is probably the best anime series I have watched.

And finally Luther and Sherlock are probably the best crime dramas ever made.

Shout outs to Friday Night Lights, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Breaking Bad, Rome, ST: TNG and Entourage.

Has to be the original series of the Twilight Zone.
