My current vavorite show is Dexter on showtime. Anyone here caught that show yet? I saw the whole first season and I'm totally hooked. Highly recommended....
Damn Tim, you know there are quite a few Americans out there who still lives in tents due to this shitty economy, and you're dropping loads on a single game which only last 20 min. Do you think it's fair? How much did you spend this time?

I think I saw up to season 9, and I have a soft spot for seasons 7 and 8.
I think around 3-6 are my favorites. Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk and Homer Bad Man being particular favorite episodes I can recall.

24 is starting to get on my nerves a little.

The Wire has been in my netflix queue for 2 months and they never have disc 1 available. So much praise for that show.

Rob's 3000th post is very useful. I'd really like to see the Simpson's again, but I haven't been sure which seasons to look for. Cool.

Has anybody seen the UK TV serie "the prisoner" with Patrick McGoohan ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prisoner ) ?. I used to watch re-runs when I lived in europe back in the 80s. I still find it oustanding today.

I know they're not traditional shows (sitcoms or dramas) but I feel like mentioning The Screen Savers, Call for Help, and even to an extent, X-Play. You can only count the original Tech TV shit not anything after the G4 buyout :(

I've enjoyed dozens of shows over the years, but only the cream of the crop deserve mention:

Current:
- Battlestar Galactica [scifi drama]
- Dexter [psychological thriller]
- High Stakes Poker [game show]

Old:
- Aeon Flux [avant-garde animated scifi]
- Babylon 5 [scifi]
- La Femme Nikita [spy drama]
- Seinfeld [sitcom]
- Whose Line is it Anyway? (US) [improvisational comedy]

I don't "watch TV" anymore, but i download shows i like. Just came across Aeon Flux this week and was blown away!
