Hey Guys:

So since there is a bunch of new shows and some older ones still on air - what is your favorite(s) TV show(s)? Here is mine

1.) Desperate Housewives - two words Eva Longoria :) :shock: :borat: :mrgreen:

2.) Seinfeld - Kramer is just too funny, and the way he enters the room lmfao!

Whats yours ? and reasons too!!!

1. Three's Company--I love Jack Tripper and his slapstick character. Plus Roper and Furley are hilarious!
2. Wings--yeah, kinda campy but it's a show about 2 brothers running their own airline
3. Hell's Kitchen--the only reality show I like--I enjoy cooking and I think Gordon Ramsay is hilarious
4. The Simpsons (from Season 4 up till the season when Mr. Burns was shot)--these were the golden years--lots of laughs.
5. Cosby Show (except the last 2 seasons)--I'm a fan of Bill Cosby and his sense of humor.
6. Are You Being Served? Funny BritCom with great characters.

I don't care how hot a girl is, I can't stomach Desperate Housewives.

Seinfeld: Best show of all time. Funny beyond words.

Family Guy: A cartoon that really uses it's freedom to do anything. Just when you think you see the joke, another one that you didn't expect pops up. Edgy and shocking, it's the best cartoon of all time. Simpsons was merely a warmup for this.

The Office: Carrying on from the popular cult film Office Space, the American version of this sitcom has a great collection of characters that everyone can relate to. Enjoyable all the way.

Survivorman: Of all the survival shows, this guy is the only one that's the real deal. Very interesting to see how he handles different situations, both realistic and far fetched.

Future Weapons: Crazy weapons of the future....today. It's SCARY to see what is CURRENTLY available in the world of weaponary. Impressive to the max.

The Hills: A fun an entertaining show about women who are gorgeous, have their ducks in a row and are TRULY role models for girls growing up that should strive to acheive the same superficial, materialistic mindset of what is one of America's worst social sects! (I hate this show beyond words....say "like" one more time!!!)

Futurama - I always found this funnier than Family Guy, especially the more recent ones.[/*:m:0e55f]
The X-Files - especially the early seasons, where it was just Mulder and Scully checking out weird stuff, before all the conspiracy stuff[/*:m:0e55f]
Babylon 5 - best SF show ever[/*:m:0e55f]
Firefly - second best SF, canceled before its time[/*:m:0e55f]
MythBusters[/*:m:0e55f]

I used to watch and like Law & Order a lot, but after a while, you get the feeling that you've already seen every episode, even the new ones, because it's really just elements of older shows arranged differently and with different characters. CSI (the original) is OK, CSI:Miami jumped the shark a while ago (has there been an actual alien abduction yet? because the show got so absurd that it seemed a real possibility) and CSI:NY was never really any good, especially since I was watching L&O which seemed a much more realistic portrayal of criminal justice in NY. The first two seasons of House were good, but the third season was so abysmally bad that I stopped watching.

Now don't get me started on a list of my least favorite TV shows! I could go on for hours about how much I hate a lot of shows!

I haven't watched any tv for more than two months, but here are my favorite shows anyway.

-House (Great cast and a good balance of humor, intrigue, suspense and all other emotions that come with a good show. I'm pursuing a career in the medical field, so the I find the content quite interesting too.)
-Family Guy (Phil summed it up perfectly. Some of the episodes are just so absurdly spontaneous and out there - I find myself continuously laughing out loud, even when I'm watching alone.)
-Seinfeld (Great cast, too many laughs and so many seasons and episodes to choose from. I used to love watching this with my dad when I still lived at home.)
-The Weather Channel (Well, will I have to wear a sweater tomorrow?) 8)

Greets,

1) Family Guy - Phil did nail the reason, (and I'm the proud owner of all 4 season's DVD's)
2) CSI - The original...a great cast of basic unknowns carrying a show for 8 seasons now. And just when you think they've covered the wierdest possible situation, here comes another one.
3) CSI - New York - A better known cast, writing is just as good, and it's cool to see places you know of on TV.
4) NCIS - Cote de Pablo...enough said.
5) Seinfeld - Name another TV show, where people are still quoting lines from a show that ended 5+ years ago.

Seinfeld - Name another TV show, where people are still quoting lines from a show that ended 5+ years ago.

Seinfeld is alone in that regard in recent years..but its up against game shows, reality shows, infomercials, sports talk shows etc.. Not that much being produced that will be memorable. Which is odd, because modern "sit-coms" rely more on one-liners..clever jokes and word play..generally - the "characters" walk through their lines on one take, as if they were stand up comedians like Jerry Sienfeld..no need for even a modicum of "acting" ..in a way, it probably renders the lines less memorable..and, besides, most are just vulgar (which might not matter if they were funny enough..)

Well, as you get older, you need friends from the same generation, but we do enjoy quoting some stuff...

All in the Family - Edith: "Archie - Little Emmanuel is in the kitchen. Archie: "Aw don't worry Edith, he won't steal anything"

HoneyMooners: "How to Core A Apple"

I Dream of Jeannie: Dr Bellows, in incredulous tone: "Magic Tricks, .....at Carnegie Hall?"

Yeah, I know, "you had to be there"... :D

I was never fond of the Star Trek quotes...but one of the most prevalent: "He'd Dead, Jim"

I remember the show with Sally Struthers and a few other orphan girls, I forgot the name but the show was late 1970's or maybe early '80's when they flew on board a TWA 747-100 with the hollow titles, it was a beautiful moment until they showed Sally Struthers... bluahhhhh!!! :x
