Favourite TV Shows

To me this is the funniest HBO series I love every episode.

I need a new TV show to watch, I recently got addicted to How I Met Your Mother but I've seen all of them.

Is Fraiser and/or Curb Your Enthusiasm any good?

Frasier is for the first 7 seasons, Curb Your Enthusiasm isn't for me.

Go with Curb and pass on Fraiser, I was never able to get into it. doesn't mean you wouldn't like it though but Curb is most definitely a favorite of mines and i'm sure you'll like it.

The whole idea behind Curb is that at the beginning of each episode something happens to Larry and by the end of the episode it comes around full circle. I love it.

curb is kinda inconsistent. ranging from absolutely brilliant to mediocre.

I've just started watching Freeks and Geeks on Youtube. How have I never seen this show before. ****ing awesome.

it's pretty damn corny but How I Met Your Mother is good enough to watch.

Apparently Ive posted in this thread before...really can't remember doing that, so I'm gonna do this again.

Rome
Best historical drama I've ever seen. I, Claudius and Spartacus were pretty cool, sure, but the ultra-realistic, down-to-earth qualities really set this show apart for me.

Band Of Brothers
Well, would be the best if it weren't for this. I don't know what it was about the Pacific, it just never really sparked off the way this did for me, and I didn't find myself spending practically a whole summer watching that as I did with this.

Dirt
I never thought it'd be possible for me to be sympathetic to the characters of a tabloid editor and a paparazzi photographer until I watched this. Very underrated show this.

Talking of underrated...

Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip
Fantastically well-written, executed, characterised and defined, and my favourite Aaron Sorkin show by a long shot.

Star Trek: the Next Generation
The best that sci-fi has to offer the visual medium at its purest. Packed with very human insights, thought-provoking moral and philosophical themes, I'm no trekkie, but this show fucking ruled.

Babylon 5 and Firefly
And these shows showed off that if you ramp up the action, with a good amount of restraint, you can still pull of truly great sci-fi. Firefly showed us what exploring an empty, godless universe would be like, Babylon 5 showed us the total opposite - a huge, in-depth, colourful galaxy full of different races with very distinct and well-toned back stories and histories of their own. I love both these shows for those very different reasons.

Extras
Tailed off a little bit in the second series, but at its best, definitely my favourite thing that I've ever seen Gervais or Merchant in. I think the fact that Andy Millman's a much more likeable guy and not basically a prick like David Brent's what gives it the edge over the Office for me.

Friends
Because fuck you, I liked it

Battlestar Galactica
What I love about sci-fi is that there are so many different takes on the genre, and each can be just as effective and memorable as the other if it's done right. BSG here is a much more militaristic, gritty, melodramatic and even religious take on the genre, and I really can't think of a series that's had a stronger pilot or finale than this, let alone maintained such a consistent level of quality over its run.

Peep Show
Because of 4OD and days off work, that's why

There's more than that I think, but I'll leave it there.
