Favourite Television Series - Page 2

ArienSun · 08-16-2005, 05:55 PM

My two favorite TV shows are Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. Veronica Mars is also a good show that I try to watch regularly. Friends, The Simpsons, and Family Guy are also my favorites.

My favourite tv-series are these:

the first 100 ep's of Friends and the first - fourth seasons of Gilmore Girls and the first - third seasons of Ed. And, of course, Charmed.

CSI, CSI: New York, Navy CIS, JAG.

Midsomer Murders, Morse, Frost and Murder City.

I watch NCIS. I'm just waiting for it to come out on DVD. I've been missing it since I started this job I'm at.

I've just gotten into Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and have been buying up all the seasons on DVD. I'm up to season 7 now. Best way to watch shows, IMO, is on DVD. I've also been picking up early ER on DVD (didn't start watching it until season 8 or 9?). Love DVD marathons, particularly since I am on holiday for the next 2.5 weeks.

I've been watching the first five seasons of The West Wing on DVD for the past few months. I agree with BoP and Lotesse, watching a series on DVD is the way to go!

Other favorites (although I have yet to buy any of them): Prisoner, Avengers, Fawlty Towers, Monty Python, Doctor Who (Tom Baker and before), Upstairs Downstairs, MASH, Hill St Blues, every single PBS Mystery import: Inspector Morse, Sherlock Holmes (with Jeremy Brett), Poirot, Inspector Lynley, Miss Marple, any and all PD James dramatizations.

To add to the thriller-segment cometh:

The Mysteries of Inspector Lynley, which 4th season is being showed on Swedish Television now.

Lotesse · 12-30-2005, 01:21 PM

The Sopranos!! And guess what - the show's FINALLY starting it's new season, starting in March.

YAY!!!

E, LoR · 12-30-2005, 09:55 PM

F*R*I*E*N*D*S,

ive been addicted to that show since i was like 7.

Grey_Wolf · 01-03-2006, 12:34 PM

And of course ER. Me and mum are watching it (we're at '03 or '04 now) Monday to Friday.

Of course they count!

Especially Macgyver

One of MY all time favorites/

BeardofPants · 01-09-2006, 02:39 AM

I had such a HUUUUUGE crush on Richard Dean Anderson when I was growing up (Macgyver!).

Ah, who am I kidding - he still tickles my funnybone. ::leer::

Anglorfin · 01-09-2006, 06:35 PM

My most watched/enjoyed DVD television shows include the complete series of Farscape, complete series of Firefly, and most of StarTrek TNG.

I'd like to get all of the original Law & Order but it's just sooo big. Plus they still show about 5 episodes a day on TNT so it's not really worth it yet until it starts to go off the air.

Oh and Aqua Teen. So friggen funny.

Finrod Felagund · 01-19-2006, 07:58 PM

LOST!!!!!

E, LoR · 01-19-2006, 08:53 PM

I don't really like lost, personally, I don't think I watch enough of it to get addicted. It had the guy who plays merry from LotR in it though!!!!!!!!!!

***HOBBIT*** · 01-19-2006, 09:45 PM

Current shows on TV still running:
-Lost (great show)
-Battlestar Galactica (great show)
-My Name is Earl (great show)
-The Office (USA version, has its moments)
-Stargate Sg-1 (im loyal... in 9th season)
-Stargate Atlantis (spinoff of sg-1, its ok)
-South Park (sometimes genius)
-The Daily Show with Jon Stuart ( great show )

Shows from the past that I liked or am liking right now
-Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager
- Highlander
- Firefly
- Seinfeld
-Frasier

Lotesse · 01-19-2006, 10:18 PM

The Simpsons! and Family Guy is hilarious. Lost SUX. American Idol SUX. The Daily Show with Jon Stuart is the bomb! Love that show. Curb Your Enthusiasm is always so much fun to watch. Did I mention The Sopranos?

OH - and there's this new show that I see every once in a while, I think it's called Prison Break but I'm not sure. Anyway, the lead actor on that show, I really like that guy.

Bernie Mac! I met him a couple times, because I used to do extra work and stand-in work for his show. In some of those episodes, you guys can see me! He is a wonderful person. We had this long talk this one day, in between takes, about truth in art. He's pretty awesome.

Entourage! Entourage is a killer show.

The L Word is cool, too. It really drags you in; it's "engrossing" I think is the word. Full of beautiful, hip dames.

Eye candy.

E, LoR · 01-20-2006, 09:29 AM

Law and Order is facinating, i think, and ER can be kind of disgusting but very very interesting. Ghost whisperer is a little farfetched, but i like it. Seinfeld is funny

Grey_Wolf · 01-21-2006, 12:50 PM

Yesterday when I was at Herrods I finally got hold of the fabulously funny series Coupling on DVD all four series.

I'm looking forward to viewing them.
