Ultimate favorite television shows of all time!
I know this has been done a lot...but I just couldn't help myself :D.
I'm curious, what are your ultimate favorite television shows of all time? What shows do you feel you will love for the rest of your life, and never get tired of? Animation, live action, drama, comedy...anything goes! Mine would be: 1.) Avatar: The Last Airbender It's amazing, beautiful, captivating...This show has high quality animation, gorgeous musical score, excellent voice acting, and brilliant writing! To put it simply...it f*cking rocks! 2.) Wolf's Rain Like Avatar, this anime quickly captured my heart and pulled me into it's wonderful story. It's captivating and interesting, has an excellent soundtrack, wonderful voice acting (I LOVED the cast for the dub...I even thought they did a better job than the original japanese actors), and beautiful animation. 3.) LOST It started off with a bang, and it's put me on a rollercoaster ride that I never want to get off of! The writers are always throwing twists and turns with this one...it's ongoing mysteries (as well as it's awesome writing, acting, and musical score) have been keeping me on the edge of my seat from day one! 4.) Firefly I love Joss, I really do. And out of the three television series he worked on...this one is easily my favorite. I've been repeating myself in all my comments, so I'll make it quick: Awesome writing, music, special effects, story, acting, everything about the show is great! 5.) Xena: Warrior Princess She rocks...she simply rocks! 6.) Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman This show was just plain FUN! The writing was great (90% of the time), and the characters had fantastic chemisty with one another! I have plenty of other favorite shows (2003 TMNT included) but they don't live up to these shows to me. I'm sure I'll add more to my list of Ultimate favs of all time in the future though... How about you guys? |
Old school cartoons for me, basically. Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, Rocko, Ren & Stimpy, Dexter, Johnny Bravo, Powerpuff Girls, and I guess the most contemporary one would be Invader Zim. Those cartoons are good for me because they're easy to watch just every once in a while, while live action dramas have continuity and stuff, so it's too hard for me to keep up. I'm hardly home.

I am often told I have a terrible taste in TV shows, some one tell me if this is true.
Aqua Teen Hunger Force is at the top of my list, right next to Samurai Jack as my top two favourites. Some other favourites of mine are Stargate: Atlantis (That's right, not SG-1!), Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, Ao Sonic the Hedgehog (Not SatAM) Futurama, SpongeBob, Seinfeld, old TMNT, Wonder Showzen, Ren & Stimpy, Newlyweds (Yes, Nick & Jessica. My girlfriend and I love it), 90's Spider-Man and if mini-series count, I adored both Band of Brothers and Star Wars: Clone Wars. |
There's a ton of TV shows that I love, many of which have already been mentioned, but through all the years, the one show I can go back to and watch endlessly with as much love as when it originally aired is Star Trek: The Next Generation. Even the worst of episodes can bring me delight as I giggle at their badness. And I also think it had one of the best series finales of any TV show ever.

Homicide: Life on the Street. Best show ever! (In my opinion)
Third Watch! If there ever was a human that reminded me of Raphael, Third Watch's Officer Maurice Boscorelli was it! SeaQuest DSV: It was on for only 2 and half years, but I loved that show! The X Files Knight Rider Macguever(sp?) Bravestar, and old, old cartoon that ended too quickly. Now, the shows I watch on a regular basis, but they were never my favorite tops. CSI all three of them. Law & Order Law & Order SVU House America's Funniest Home Videos! And of course, both old and new TMNT, minus Fast Forward. |

Naw, its good to like lots of shows.

Ah, TV shows. My big interest. Here comes a big, detailed list in no particular order.
NYPD Blue - although it waned in quality over the years you can't beat the Milch seasons. Sipowicz is one of the best anti-heroes I've ever seen; it was cutting-edge drama; had brilliant story-telling and great performances. (I think Jimmy Smits needs a CSI spin-off, don't you?) Firefly - everyone knows how great this show is (almost identical to the reasons given above) and all the qualities that make it great just ooze out of Joss Whedon's work. I haven't yet seen Serenity, but I've heard it's excellent, so don't anyone go ruining that for me. Seinfeld - classic comedy, inspired me very much so in my comedy writing with the ability to make stories out of nothing as long as your characters are solid. George Constanza is one of the greatest sitcom characters ever. CSI: Miami - it was great for the first two seasons and rapidly went downhill when they tried to make it 'action-packed' to the point of stupidity (no, it wasn't due to Rory Cochrane leaving). So, while the regular character elements got stronger the rest of the show sucked. But I will always love seasons one and two. Peep Show - don't let the name arouse odd connotations. This is a sitcom shot from people's POVs (giving the show its name), where you get to hear the two protagonists most embarrassing/funny/devious thoughts. Simple setup but made so funny through the situations and spot-on character portrayals. Best sitcom ever. The Office: An American Workplace (UK title - The US Version) - far surpasses the original UK version (yes, I said it) with a better ensemble cast, character story arcs and some just downright sillyness. Shame it gets the old Seinfeld treatment in the UK (being on past midnight). Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003-present cartoon) - better than I ever imagined it to be. Works really well as individual episodes as well as containing big story arcs. It's great to see some of the old comic stories be 'reimagined' too. Spooks (MI-5 is the US title) - brilliant drama for the first three series, went downhill for the same reasons as CSI: Miami as they kept trying to up the action ante and left out the more personal stories that were the real key to the tension. Series 4 and 5 just saw it go too far away from the 'this could be real but is hidden behind-the-scenes' setup that worked so well earlier. More may follow. You have been warned. |
