best tv shows ever

[professor ganson]

probably good to mention which country you're in, if it's not obvious

My first thoughts:

Twin Peaks
Simpsons
Seinfeld

Pretty obvious choices, I guess.
Oh yeah, I'll add: Monday Night Football

[iatneH]

I'm in Canada and I like:

Red Dwarf
most Monty Python things
Royal Canadian Air Farce

...do these count? I hardly watch TV anymore except for Chinese shows now though...

[PaCrappa]

The A Team
The Dukes of Hazzard
Prime Time Wrestling
Kung Fu Theater
The Twilight Zone

Pa

[Arcatech]

MST3K
Lost
Family Guy

X-men cartoon

[Sly Cherry Chunks]

[theevilfunkster]

UK shows-
Red Dwarf
I'm Alan Partridge
Peep Show
Black Books

Others
The Simpsons
Nip-Tuck
Lost
Six Feet Under
Neighbours

[LoneSage]

I would have said Simpsons ten years ago. While I do think these new episodes are way better than the stuff from 2001-2004, even they aren't as good as the older ones

Anyways:
Fullmetal Alchemist
Harvey Birdman
House
Most Extreme Elimination Challenge (butchered Takashi's Castle)

Are what I watch most of the time. This new season of South Park kinda sucks, so far.

[professor ganson]

Harvey Birdman

I started watching this recently-- really excellent. I love the episode about teaching creationism in school.

[Ex_Mosquito]

All British stuff, im not a fan of usa shows. Everybody loves raymond = AGH!!!!!

Faulty Towers
Alan Partridge
Red Dwarf
Young Ones
Bottom
The Office
Game On (series 1)
Peter Kay's stuff
Spaced
............


I cant imagine what life would've been like without these shows. I find myself spending more time watch comedy stuff than playing videogames these days, less stressful too.

[Acid King]

The Outer Limits
Da Ali G Show
Oz
Simpsons
Family Guy
Futurama
The Tick
TV Funhouse
The Shield

[captain ahar]

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Malcolm in the Middle
House (worth restating)

and not sure about "best" quite yet, but Prison Break is shaping up quite nicely.

[professor ganson]

the office fukkin brilliant, get the dvd

Yeah, I love the Office-- got the dvd. I even showed an episode on the last day of class in a seminar I taught.

[GaijinPunch]

PaCrappa -- you are nuts. The A-Team. A bunch of Vietnam vets wanted for war crimes, that anyone can get in touch with (except the authorities) that can't hit a person w/ a fully automatic machine gun.

My all time favorites:

Twin Peaks
Simpsons -- at it's Pinnacle, the smartest comedy in TV history
Seinfeld
X-Files

Of the recent stuff:
Lost is excellent, and I've just gotten into Prison Break which isn't bad. Most seasons of 24, while far fetched, are entertaining. And how can I not mention Chapelle's Show?

[MadSteelDarkness]

Invader Zim!!!

and MST3K, naturally (peep the avatar).

[Neo Rasa]

US here:

Are you Being Served?
A-Team
Babylon 5
Batman: The Animated Series
Black Adder
Dr. Who
EXO Squad
Fawlty Towers
The Fugitive
Homicide
Liquid Television
Magnum PI
NYPD Blue
Police Squad!
Rockford Files
Space: Above and Beyond
The Shield
Star Trek original series
Young Ones

These are the tv shows I could watch all day and never get bored.

TV sucks so much today. Looking at my list only ONE of those shows is actually a current series that isn't in syndication.

[Ganelon]

I had a fun time going through all 4 seasons of 24 the past few months.

[sven666]

red dwarf

young ones
riget (the kingdom, not the shitty US remake )
aeon flux
the max
and a bunch of swedish shows you lot never heard of..

..yeah i dont get too see much of anything i like on TV these days

[Neo Rasa]

A Liquid Television fan! Awesome!

The only thing you can get are these shitty "best of" compilations. There's two volumes. I guess licensing issues prevent the whole thing from happening. Maybe look around the bit torrents, someone HAS to have these somewhere. Even the shorts where they would just take a clip from Iria or some other anime and put in their own made up dialogue is better than ninety percent of the crap that's on tv today. Stick Figure Theater >>>>>>>>>>>> any reality show.

Was The Head ever released on DVD? The series was atrocious but the mini-series from MTV Oddities was beyond awesome. Same with The Maxx.

[JAPJAC]

English:

The Office.
Extra's.
Only Fools and Horses.
Ali 'Before anyone twigged' G.
Grange Hill.
Coronation Street.
EastEnders.
The Queen's speech.

Foreign:

Monkey.

[thesuperkillerxxx]

No love for Aqua Teen Hunger Force.... shame

What ever hap[pened to the Upright Citizen's Brigade...? Fucking comedy Gold.

other than that... Fox News bitches. YEAH!!!!!!

( I do my best to avoid Television. absolute waste of time. I would rather watch a bad movie then TV....)

[Bloodreign]

Other than sports I hardly watch anything nowadays, but I loved the A-Team, need to one day search for DVD's if they have them.

Otherwise I'll go to a friends and we'll watch G.I. Joe, Transformers, or he'll watch Buffy and I'll snooze.

[Herr Schatten]

The Simpsons
Futurama
Seinfeld
Monty Python's Flying Circus
The Powerpuff Girls
Spongebob Squarepants
Parker Lewis can't lose
Coupling
