He's great....and isn't it great to have a female lead character who kicks arse and looks real?

NormaJeanBaker · 07/04/2009 09:41

Ah - Sky. We are still struggling with inside aerial and fuzzy Channel 5. Moving house soon and considering Sky. Then we can move on from Dad's Army.

I loved Quantum Leap

I have yet to find another person who even liked it.

happywomble · 07/04/2009 09:46

Blackadder

liked yes minister too

goblincandoa5k · 07/04/2009 09:48

The West Wing - absolutely loved the writing of this show

NoBiggy · 07/04/2009 09:52

I really liked Tenko.

MarshaBrady · 07/04/2009 09:53

Six Feet Under - brilliant.

Geepers - I love Quantum Leap! Am trying to get DS1 into it now.

BEAUTlFUL · 07/04/2009 10:04

I'd probably say Sex & The City but my brain is shouting at me, "No! That's not your favourite, you've forgotten the name of the one you liked most!" so I'm not committing yet...

best UK - consistently best - got to be Corrie

best US ever - Friends

best nostalgically - what I thought at the time - Moonlighting (probably wouldn't think so now if I got to see it again)

Springfleurs · 07/04/2009 19:07

Best ever was Friends.

Best currently for me is Mad Men. It is so cleverly done. Love it.

Gracelo · 08/04/2009 06:44

Firefly had the potential to become a truly great TV show but since those twerps at FOX cancelled it my vote goes to Buffy, or maybe Dr Who

Flamesparrow · 08/04/2009 07:52

I am torn between Buffy and early Angel.

Agree that Firefly was gone too soon. Loved Tru too

PfftTheMagicDragon · 08/04/2009 07:57

The Wire

After watching it, even Lost seems rather simplistic.

MiaWallace · 08/04/2009 08:02

Cracker

Full of flaws and totally unrealistic but I love it

seeker · 08/04/2009 08:06

This Life.

LA Law.

nannyegg · 08/04/2009 08:07

Another Buffy vote here.

Although Spaced, The Mighty Boosh, Scrubs and Friends would make up my top five.

seeker · 08/04/2009 08:10

Blackadder - the Elizabethan series. Have it on DVD. An episode or two before bed is the perfect cure for a bad day chez Seeker. Worry about 8 year old ds quoting from it too extensively at school though.....!

What, nobody apart from the OP rates The Sopranos? Nobody??? The one where Pussy wears the bug and shops Tony to the cops is one of the best things that has ever been on TV.

minko · 08/04/2009 08:43

Good grief - no votes for Sex and the City? I know the crap film spoiled it all a bit, but it WAS great...

Also love 24 these days.

Oh and Neighbours of course, the best programme ever (well, it must have something, I have been watching it for 20 years!)
