Best TV Show, right kind of poll

[Elf Witch]

I really like Jerimiah Sean Astin as Mr Smith has added a nice touch to an already good show.

Stargate SG1 is another favorite. I also watch Angel and Charmed. These are my must sees.

I will catch ER, Red Dwarf and Friends if I am around.

One note, I did actually like The Simpsons when it was new. The novelty of it just wore off pretty quickly, and the writing for last five years at least has been absolutely terrible comparitively. The only reason I ever see it nowadays is because my gf is a big fan.

And Theo is by far and away the best part of Jeremiah! Though Astin in the seventh episode, where

Jeremiah, Kurdy, and Smith went to Daniel's territory was great! "Can I help it if I'm a trendsetter?"

I almost died laughing.

One show that I neglected to mention was The Tick. No, not that terrible one with Warburton (sp?) but the cartoon. That was a work of comedic genius, and it's a shame that it didn't get a couple more seasons when regugitated crap like The Simpsons (or insert crappy sit-com of choice) continues year after year. All this is in my opinion, of course.

Ahh, but I have spent enough time watching T.V. (and I still watch some even now) to realize that for me it is all mindless. Besides, can't I poke a little fun at cultural icons? I apologize if you took me too seriously & I hope I didn't offend anyone.

Though I think people tend to be oversensitive in the Internet (maybe because it is difficult to see the actual attitude of the writer without being able to see him and the situation)... :

T.V. is not always mindless. Actually I think many shows are quite mind"ful", and have engaging stories (similar to novels). Still, it is a passive medium (though is it really, if you consider Fansites, clubs, and discussions on boards like this?), but so are books.
Though I think that shows like "Big Brother" or "Deutschland sucht den Superstar" (The US-American equivalent being "American Idol", I believe) are pretty mindless, I admit.

I guess my vote goes to most things broadcast in HD. If you never watched something in HD you really need. It just makes everything that much better, from football games to ER. When it shows a lawn and you can almost count the blades of grass, that is great TV.

Ok, I checked all but the ones I've never seen (Smallville and farscape and one other) I also checked ALias, because I intend to get the DVDs and watch it.

I watched Buffy and Angel only on DVD.

Looks like Buffy is the clear winner overall. Interesting.

I voted for Alias.
After a somewhat dissapointing 5th season (it´s getting better,though) of Angel, Alias has rapidly become my favorite show with 24 as a close second.
Arwin Sloane must be the best villain,ever. A very good character.

None of the above

I liked The Tick (both cartoon & live-action), The Simpsons, X-Files (before it just got silly), Northern Exposure, Deep Space Nine, News Radio, and the first season-and-a-half of Twin Peaks.

Oh, and I used to be a huge fan of The Rockford Files and parts of M*A*S*H.

Having no tv hasn't kept me from watching shows occasionally, but it has kept me from being inundated, which is a good thing

Of the shows you listed, I have little or no interest.

I miss The Equalizer, Magnum PI and St Elsewhere. I feel oooold.

 

[Mistwell]

Aqua Teen Hunger Force is the best show on TV. Duh!

 

[Taelorn76]

I have to second the Family Guy, no matter how many times I watch a particular episode I still laugh as I loud as the first time. I am so glad that they are going to be bringing it back.

As for the list I voted for smallville, and CSI
