Arrested Development Seinfeld The Twilight Zone It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia The Simpsons The Office I don't really watch much tv besides those shows, classic sitcoms, and sports. The order is accurate. ------------- "One had to be a Newton to notice that the moon is falling, when everyone sees that it doesn't fall. " |

As far as shows that are on right now, "New Girl" is probably my favorite. Zooey D is a megababe, and the show is laugh-out-loud funny.

I'll admit I'm not really sure what qualifies as a mini-series anywhere. Just thought of them as rather short compared to the others.

I don't watch TV. I've gotten to where tuning in to anything, commercials or otherwise, for more than ten minutes drives me into an unintelligible rage. The only three TV shows I have ever loved: -The Twilight Zone (original) - but this is merely an expansion on my love for socially-oriented science fiction short stories, especially guys like Harlan Ellison, Ray Bradbury, and Richard Matheson. -The Prisoner (original) - Golly, but wasn't that remake dreadful? -Monty Python's Flying Circus - funniest televised programming I've ever seen. I also used to dig Cowboy Bebop a great deal, but now realize it was primarily due to the music more than anything else. I enjoy the OST more than the show.

Thank you all for participating! I hope more will join here and write their most beloved series. I have to admit that I see many series I have no idea about! You are giving me new ideas! I also forgot to mention "Rome". Another excellent series, although lasted only for 2 seasons... A couple of days ago I started watching "Homeland". It looks like a very good one! ------------- If anybody wants please visit: http://www.gfreedomathina.blogspot.com/ This is my Blog mostly about Rock music, but also a few other things as well.

As far as I see from your posts, probably you don't know a very good series, which I strongly recommend! It is called "Life on Mars". (Imdb rating: 8.5) It's an English series, 2 seasons, 8 episodes on each season. It contains lots of great music from the 60's and the70's (Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Led Zeppelin, The Who,LOTS of David Bowie etc) and is a very interesting and weird story. I can't tell you about the plot because I don't think I can explain it so well. But my suggestion is to give it a try sometime. It surely worth it! Oh! and it is a BBC production... ------------- If anybody wants please visit: http://www.gfreedomathina.blogspot.com/ This is my Blog mostly about Rock music, but also a few other things as well.

I don't watch an awful lot of TV; more so now than before. The Office - The only show where I've followed the seasons consecutively each week for a new episode, until the completion of the season. Arrested Development Seinfeld Fringe Futurama Dragon's Den That 70's Show The Twilight Zone Flight Of The Conchords Curb Your Enthusiasm Corner Gas Star Trek Mind you, some of shows I hardly follow. Just when they're on, I'll watch them and maybe buy a season.  -------------

I thought Harry Anderson was great, as was John Laroquette. One of the funniest shows ever on tv for me. Funny enough, I was never really a big fan of Markie Post or her character. I much preferred Ellen Foley's character Billie.
