prob

lost
arrested development
the wire


I'm

working my way through Arrested Development this week and it is outrageously good. Like, seriously good. I always heard good things, but never got around to watching it. Perhaps not in my top shows of all time, but close.

Gob's chicken dance.. OMG


i always never bothered with it

when i saw it on bbc2 but when i started watching it i couldnt believe how good it was.


spaced!


also

simpsons!
neighbours! i could go on..


1. Boston Legal

2. Six Feet Under
I can take or leave pretty much everything else ever.


northern exposure

twin peaks


Buffy

The Simpsons
Malcolm in the middle
Round the twist


good call on malcolm

it is seriously good


...

dad's army
blackadder
league of gentlemen
the oc
scrubs
24
spooks (keeley hawes era)
transworld sport


Shooooosh!

What's so bad about it?! It maybe isn't quite as good as it used to be but I still think it's brilliant.


I can't remember which series it was when it began

but the episodes and writing became cringworthingly current affairs orientated. True to form the Beeb turned a good, gripping piece of fiction into one big political comment.


add the oc to my list aswell

i would say 24 cos the 1st couple of series were so good but the later series sorta ruined it for me


<3 League of Gentlemen

best comedy ever. (Well, series 3 was a bit meh, but the first 2 were solid gold.)

HOW MANY MAVERICK BARS?


hmm

Arrested Development
Heroes
The Office: An American Work Place
The Wire

And currently I'm really liking Damages on BBC2.


Heh heh.

'I wish you had lent her your Tennessee Williams biography. She wouldn't have kept forgetting his name and referring to him as Indiana Jones'


haha

i saw that episode the other day - terrific joke that one.


Frasier is really one of those ones that I can't pick my favourite episode

because there are just SO MANY! It's the farce that gets me every time.


oh yes

most definitely. i enjoy the niles-centric ones to be honest.

the farcical nature of the situation where he has the bird stuck to his head has me guffawing each time, so i think that could well be my favourite episode.


that's not frasier

thats mr bean!


hahaha

not a turkey! it's a parrot thing, literally perched on top of niles' head :')


Haha

the one where he has divorce-related narcolepsy. He falls asleep with his face in the freezer and when he wakes up says he was dreaming about dancing cheek to cheek with Lilith.

I love Niles.


:D

I love that episode.


X Files

Six Feet Under


Actually I'm lying.

I love about a million TV series but those are the top 2.


...

Arrested Development
Buffy
Scrubs(only seasons 1 to 3 though)
Gilmore Girls
Alias


peep show

and frasier.


curb you enthusiam

arrested developement
freaks and geeks
the office(but the american version, which was so much better than the original)


...

I don't care what anyone says, for me the first 2 series of bo selecta were solid gold.


(are still*)


YOU'RE A GIRL


My favourites are:

Coach Trip
The Hotel Inspector
Homes Under The Hammer
Dog The Bounty Hunter


Also:

Office Monkey
The Sack Race
Shameless


I was watching Shameless series 1 the other day

and it is still amazing. I haven't seen the most recent ones but I've heard they really aren't great.

And James McAvoy is really hot in it too.


imo:

Series 1 - Brilliant
Series 2 - Brilliant
Series 3 - Okay
Series 4 - Hmmmm
Series 5 - Very good.


The Wire

I barely ever watch TV but I'm so fucking addicted to this show...


I've just watched series 4

my god! Easily my favourite show. It's really hard to imagine anything ever surpassing it.
You seen 5?


yep

watched the last ep yesterday.

imo series 4 is the best of the lot. They are all amazing though


band of brothers

easily. i am shifty powers.


sharp

shooter!


Brotherhood

Jericho (R.I.P)
Curb Your Enthusiasm
The Shield (I'm halfway through season 3, is it worth continuing?)

I don't watch much telly these days.


good shout with saved by the bell

sabrina the teenage witch, the west wing, the larry sanders show, hancock, shit like that.


Sharpe


if you're having sharpe

then I'm saying poirot.


I can't believe I forgot Monk.

Although the new ones that are showing on bbc 2 have been a bit lame in places.


nickelodeon

just about everything on that channel circa late 90s early 00s
whos with me?!


ok....

I'm actually obsessed with The Shield at the moment, so basically that. Also, Buffy (obv), League of Gentlemen, Alan Partridge, Futurama, Red Dwarf, some other stuff.


i watched the episode the other day with the blind guy

"it's a lovely day"
"yes it is"
"no, I'm telling you - It's a lovely day!"

tears of laughter.


:D

"Was it something I said???"

It's perfect comedy though. Ok, so it's a bit dark but I love it. The video shop nerds are my fave I think, although Pop is just the best thing ever.

"A BULLS HEART! SO YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE STRENGTH!"


Mr. Bean

Spaced
Arrested Development
The Office (US)
Frasier
120 Minutes (Unarguably applicable)

There is another entry, but it has slipped my mind.
