I love that show.

Current show - Shark Tank.

Sitcoms are my favorite tv format, but really, what good sitcoms are there right now?

I'm currently watching Keeping Up Apperances to crack me up.

Ab Fab.

Frasier was probably the funniest tv show of recent history. Lucy before that.

But right now...can't think of anything really funny.

Then again, I don't get Big Bang Theory.

though MFM said Six Feet Under was good and I told the kids to keep an eye out for the DVDs for me.

You'll like it. But the adventures of Walter and Jesse had me on the edge of my seat.

If you mean current shows, then probably Hell's Kitchen. Also, Bar Rescue & Kitchen Nightmares.

SoA is one of the best series currently on the teevee.

Check it out if you get a chance.

I haven't watched a new episode in years, but the Simpsons of the 1990s was the greatest.

I have not seen any of the other shows...except maybe two episodes of the Sopranos.

27. 6-feet under, because it ended well
Mon Apr 8, 2013, 01:08 PM
Apr 2013

Breaking bad, Walking Dead, Mad Men, Vikings are all on my must watch list, but until they are finished, they can't unseat 6-feet under. That show was great almost every episode and managed to wrap up in a totally satisfying way (maybe the anti-Lost!) I actually really liked Lost for most of its run, but it turned out to be great at asking questions and less than great at delivering answers.

....has to be Breaking Bad, One Good Whiff, Grimm, and Burn Notice. Loves me some Jeffrey Donovan! He has to be one of the best, unrecognized actors working today.

I've never seen any of these. Big Bang Theory is about as close as I can get to a 'favorite'. I don't even watch that very often.

in no particular order.

I also enjoyed Desperate Housewives, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Angel on Netflix.

Last night I started watching Fringe. I think that could become a favorite.

Downton Abbey because it started out so well. I'm not sure I can still call it a favorite, though.

Walking Dead is a guilty pleasure.

There's not a single series I watch on a regular basis, other than Top Gear (U.K., of course), and I don't think that would count.

I didn't actually watch it until it had been off the air for some time and had already seen a few of the newer cable shows that came after. I think it's still the best, but more importantly set a standard for a new type of television making. The good shows that have come since that compare still aren't over; in my estimation, those being Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones.
