Hey Giantbombers, I'm watching 24 right now and I was wondering what other TV shows I should watch. What's your favourite TV show?
Best TV show?
In my mind, Arrested Development is the best TV show ever. All the characters are fantastically developed, with crazy twists happening all of the time. You can find a lot (I think all) of the episodes at Hulu. And of course most of the episodes from Batman: The Animated Series, but you probably already knew that. Listen to what the folks above me have to say, as well.
Tell you the truth I don't watch a lot of standard TV shows. I watch a lot of TV, but it's mostly stuff I've seen a dozen times. When it comes to network TV, it's almost nil. Honestly, Smallville and FOX's animation block are the only shows I watch regularly there. On cable, it's a bit more varied. Pardon the Interruption (ESPN), Mythbusters (DISC), Iron Chef-Japanese version (FLN) and Attack of the Show (G4) are a few of the programming choices that I enjoy. After that it's just a bunch of random cartoons off of Nick, Disney and CN. Oh, and my guilty pleasure "Sonny with a Chance." (Don't judge me!) I have Netflix and a pile of anime I'm working through, so it's not like I don't have anything that holds my interest.
I don't know what's good anymore other than to say "Watch Mythbusters! It's still awesome."
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Frisky Dingo, Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien and Metalocalypse for comedies...And the only other shows I watch are whatever Gordon Ramsey is up to.
Best TV shows...
- Doctor Who and Torchwood
- Supernatural
- Smallville
- Lost
- Battlestar Galactica
- 24
- Heroes (season 1 at least)
- Sarah Conner Chronicles (ended incomplete :( but still absolutely brilliant)
- Firefly (also incomplete but got a film to wrap up the story (Serenity))
- Buffy and Angel
It's a seven way tie :X
Not sure about the best show ever, but these are some very entertaining ones:
Arrested Development
The Office
Firefly
I already made one of these.

If you like terrorism-themed shows like 24, I would suggest Battlestar Galactica. The miniseries and season 1 have a lot of parallels to what was happening after 9/11 and during the Iraq war, and it's probably my favorite TV series ever.
Best TV show of all time is Scrubs, but who hasn't seen that? It's on like 8 channels.
House, Monk, Bones are all good.
- NCIS
- House
- The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien (sometimes)
Funnier shows:
- Family Guy
- Robot Chicken
- King of the Hill (kidding!)
House
Dexter
The Office (u.s.)
Metalocalypse
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
King of the Hill
Kitchen Nightmares
(I only included shows still on the air, although King of the Hill was just canceled)
So hard to decent on one show as the best. Some of my favourites included:
- Arrested development
- Curb your Enthusiasm
- Rescue Me
- The shield
- Futurama
- X-Files
Come to think of it, there are way too many great TV programmes to label one as my favourite. Oh, and True Blood is another good one i started to get into within the last month.
