Best TV Shows
Ginsu Victim:
The Inbetweeners is hilarious. From the same people who made Flight of the Conchords, actually.
Sjaak:
Why the frell did nobody mention Farscape? My all time favorite together with FireFly, of course...
Nephasth:
All have already been mentioned, but are worth mentioning again. GREAT shows.
Sons of Anarchy
Justified
Spartacus
Shameless
emphatic:
Best drama - tie between Breaking Bad, Justified and The Wire
Best comedy - Trailer Park Boys - the movies are great as well
Best Action - Alias
Best sci-fi/fantasy - Angel (Buffy is awesome as well, but there are some REAL freaks in LA)
Best historical - Dancing In The Streets (BBC music documentary, amazing)
Best mystery/detective/investigative police show - tie between Veronica Mars and Twin Peaks
Best non-fiction/documentary - Pimp My Ride
Best overall - Dexter (much better than the books)
Most underrated show - tie between Chasing Hope (funny as hell) and The Shield (amazing drama)
Overrated show that can be skipped - Lost (Loved a couple of seasons, but too many loose ends)
Honorable mentions:
Prison Break (season 1 & 2 than it's down the toilet)
Arrested Development (hilarious, but doesn't have Ricky or Mr. Lehey)
Mad Men - fantastic
Bones - great cast
True Blood (third season was meh, but the first two was funny as hell and right now it is pretty good)
Luther
Sherlock
The Office (US)
Community
Parks & Recreation (funny as hell)
I might have to check out Gilmore Girls. Can someone explain please how Burn Notice can be any good with that smug idiot in the lead?
shmokes:
Jesus Christ, Gilmore Girls is so incredibly bad. There is nothing witty about the dialogue. The show is horribly written. I suppose it's witty if you think it's witty to write every character either exactly the same or as a ridiculous charicature. Every single character who supposedly speaks with witty dialogue is written as exactly the same character. And they just rapid-fire inane witticisms back and forth at each other throughout the entire show in a way that could only be rehearsed like some kind of incredibly boring circus act. Of course everything in every show is rehearsed, but they're supposed to act like they're having real conversations. That's why they're called actors. They're conversations are not supposed to look like an act they put together for open-mic night at the local comedy club (where they would surely be booed off the stage). I don't know if I've ever seen a show in my life with more retarded dialogue. And I'm married and regularly get tail, for whatever that's worth. ::)
Anyway . . .
Drama - Breaking Bad
Comedy - Archer
Action - Probably 24, or maybe Sparticus. I really haven't seen all that much of either show yet, to be honest.
Sci-fi - Firefly
Historical - Deadwood or Rome
Police show - The Wire
Non-fiction - What Not to Wear (lol . . . seriously)
Best overall - Archer or Breaking Bad, probably Archer
Most underrated show - Carnivale
Overrated Show - True Blood
It was hard not to put Arrested Development down for Comedy. My mind could change on that in the coming years. Also, there are quite of few shows that look good but I haven't got around to seeing yet, like Boardwalk Empire and Mad Men. But that's my current list.
