My top 5:
The Wire(note season 2 is completely random and barely features the main characters)
Breaking Bad
White Collar
Suits
Samurai Champloo(best anime ever IMHO)

Boardwalk Empire
Sons of Anarchy
Dexter
Fringe
Flashpoint (the subplot can be pretty awesome, I do find the fake looking scopes bothers me though)
How to make it in America
Brotherhood
Chicago Code(shame it got cancelled, despite it being better than lots of awful TV shows)
In Treatment(just don't watch season 3 as it sucks)

[anveena]

The only tv shows I've ever really liked were
The Shield
Stargate SG-1
NCIS

Guess I just don't like tv all that much.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0944947/ - Game of Thrones: Seven noble families fight for control of the mythical land of Westeros.

WINTER IS COMING!

[Tokas]

wow, that was quick, thanks guys/gals, going to give it all a shot

[Vorenos]

that aired on the WB network in the US in the early 2000s. I believe it was a mini series actually, or a limited run special event kind of show. it was animated, and followed the story of a teenage boy in the mid west that got caught up in fighting an invading alien race... does anyone remember what this is?!? its been driving me nuts trying to think of it... to clarify, it aired in prime time, and it wasn't really a "kids show", it was more maturely themed.

sorry if there is another thread for this type of thing, but i couldnt find one...

[Bigbazz]

Top Gear
Formula 1 (yeah its a sport I know)
South Park

[Anakso]

My favorite shows that are still going - in no particular Order.
Dexter
Bones
Supernatural
Family guy (Also futerama, Cleaveland show, American Dad and south park)
Doctor who
Big bang theory
True blood
How I met your mother

Shows I loved and I'd recommend watching.
Smallville
Alias
Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis
Buffy & Angel

There's probably many more especially for shows that have finished now, but can't think of them at the moment.

One thing I'd like to ask, is how good do people think Battlestar Gallactica is. I bought season 1 a while ago because it was on sale as part of a buy 2 get one free deal and there was nothing else in the sale to get so I thought I'd buy it, but it's always hard for me to actually get around to starting a series, once I start it (as long as it's good) I keep watching until I'm finished though.

[Aronaz]

How I Met Your Mother.
The Big Bang Theory.
Family Guy(ofc).

I am watching OZ right now, HBO show taking place entirely in prison, people get shived, raped, shows you how it works among inmates on the extreme end.

That's something not commonly known because it's kinda old and aired like 97-2003.

Recommend the 2005 BBC version Bleak house. Great Dickens adaptation which is very well acted, addictive and engaging. Much better than the naff Christmas Great Expectations adaptation. Features Gillian Anderson (Agent Scully) as one of the main characters who's very good - almost the star of the show. Some clips on youtube as well:



Dickens might have a reputation for peculiar words and quirkiness, but this is a grim but gripping and even gritty tale about the corruption of the legal system (although the drama is the main focus).

[Smock]

I'm going to have to throw a nod to my two most recent addictions...

"Breaking Bad" and "Sons of Anarchy" are very brilliant show that i havent seen mentioned too much in this thread.

[Blobfish]

Have got into the "Big Bang Theory" recently which they screen every night here in Aussie

Love the Sheldon the Geek character.

Also like the fact they play WOW. Sheldor the Blood elf (lol)

Like South Park..Family Guy

And Crime dramas such as CI & the Mentalist are ok.

[Collegeguy]

Thanks for the Jericho advice Crowe. That was is fairly good so far, but the music in it absolute crap.

[Cairm]

I really enjoyed Big Bang Theory Even if i wasnt a fan of sitcom at first, the kind of humour baffles me everytime.

[Guthar]

In the past few years I've been watching a lot of TV shows while playing WoW. I can't help it now its a habbit almost. I must watch something while playing.

For those of you who are looking for some great shows and maybe have missed some of these I'm posting a list of some of my favorites. (not in any particular order)

The Wire
The Sopranos
Six Feet Under
OZ
Breaking Bad
Top Gear (UK)
Californication
Weeds
Dexter
Lost
The Shield
Survivor
Curb your Enthusiasm
Game of Thrones
Seinfeld
X-files
