-Scrubs (the best hands down)

-Friends

-Hellsing

 

Wouldn't these three be under Ye Olde since they are no longer airing?

 

Also. Major bonus points for putting Friends. It's the show so many hide their fandom for.

 

 

Most particularly, 1:18

 

 

Anyway.

 

 

Seinfeld.

That 70's Show.

Friends.

Whose Line is it Anyway?

Malcom in the Middle.

Chuck.

The Cosby Show.

Everybody Loves Raymond.

Entourage (When it was a comedy).

 

Now: Here are three of my favorite television moments.

 

Note: I could not find the episode of Everybody Loves Raymond where Robert finds out that Ally put her Crayon's in Marie's cannister. Best. Scene. Ever.

 

The entire episode with Kramer wearing the Hot Clothes was hilarious.

 

 

More specifically from this clip, from the beginning of the clip to 2:56

If he's putting Scrubs as the best, he's clearly stuck at something like season two or three...

Friends is good. Or was good. For the most part, it actually paid attention to the 'sit' part of sitcom quite well and was only bad when it relied too much on character quirks and quick gags. Not that everyone should love it, but it could be 'appreciated' at least.

First 3 seasons were the best, obviously, 4 and 5 were passable, pretty much downhill from there. Regardless, I appreciate scrubs for:

 

-Interplay between characters, the relationships are believable.

-Deep Characterization

-Consistant, though bordering on caricature, personalities

-Live action FG styled cutaway gags

-Fresh jokes, fresh setting

-Fun Cameos and guest stars

-Amazing soundtrack choices. Seriously.

-Good lighting

-Great lol-per-episode ratio

-Subtle jap Anime and Videogame references

-I relate to dr. Cox

There's this show on right now called Auction Kings. I only watched it because I like Antiques Roadshow, but this is actually kinda interesting. It's like antiques roadshow, but it also is about running an auction house. People bring in their items and say how much they want, then the items are appraised by an expert and put on auction.

P4 used Resurrect on the TV thread! It's super effective!

 

Yeah so I couldn't find a more recent general TV discussion thread. As good a place as any I suppose. Been watching Supernatural's seventh season and finding it just as uneven as the last few. I still watch it because the wife enjoys it, and I really like the two main characters and their actors. However, I will say episodes 5-8, which finally got back to some good old-fashioned monster hunting, were some of the best in years. I love the in-universe Supernatural comic self-referential stuff ("Supernatural is not very popular.")

 

Also, started re-watching HBO's Band of Brothers on DVD. Dat production value... I did get choked up when the Dutch boy has chocolate for the first time. The show does glorify the Allied side and demonize/dehumanize the enemy much of the time though. It rarely shows Nazi faces; they always have their helmets pulled down and close-ups will just go to their uniforms. Oh well, good series with some great actors (enjoyed seeing a younger Professor X in episode 4).

I like to watch Primal Grill on the PBS stations. Nothing better than a big fucking pile of meat cooked the way it's supposed to be.

Sure, he looks like a person stuck in the 70's (maybe he is), but he knows a thing or two about international flavors of grilling and BBQ.

 

Side note: And really knows his wines, which he doesn't really talk about on his show.

Ooooh me me!

 

Favorite Shows:

Lost - (IMO Best Show ever. Also IMO has the Best TV episode of any TV Show in "The Constant".)

Arrested Development. - I have watched this show like 7 times already and its still funny!

Doctor Who. - My favorite that is still airing.

Mad Men - I just love the '60s in this show.

Degrassi. - I don't care what you say! This show is addicting. I also like shows about school in general.

Scrubs.

Band of Brothers (does this count?)

 

Other shows I like/liked watching:

Chuck

Game of Thrones

The Tudors

Rome

The Borgias (notice a pattern?)

Burn Notice

Person of Interest

Bones

24

Haven

Sherlock

Revenge

The Vampire Diaries (IMO the first season was really good)

Heroes (the first season was so good it deserves to be in my list even though the rest kinda sucked)

 

And I would take a page from earlier commenter's posts... These are the things I would like to watch because apparently they are good.

 

Dexter - I tried watching it before, but gave up. I do not remember why.

Breaking Bad.

Boardwalk Empire

Firefly was fun to watch, but I think I got overwhelmed by the internets talking about like it was the second coming.

 

 

I looked back at that list and some updates: The Big Bang Theory was funny until midway season three. Now it's just...redundant.

 

Weeds went way downhill after season three. Then it crashed through the ground after season five.

Do we have a favourite scenes from TV thread? I seem to recall one for films.

 

Anyway, I'm going to share some here.

 

The Wire

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sNZ7ulO1RQ

When you know The Wire is going to be a classic.

 

Chuck

 

The moment when Chuck discovers that, after four years, his flash-face does not resemble a smouldering look.

 

 

Game of Thrones

"Watching is not seeing, dead girl."

You've got to love Syrio Forel, and the scene does a nice job in conveying the sort of rapid maturity needed of Arya.

Favorite shows thread, eh?

Sup playa?

 

 

If we put that aside, I also enjoy Breaking Bad, Avatar (Both Aang and Korra flavored), 30 Rock, Burn Notice, Walking Dead...Actually, I don't watch as many tv shows as I used to. When I do it's rarely on the actual tv itself. I've been thinking about trying Doctor Who, but I have a hard time motivating myself to binge on long-running shows from the very beginning.

Arrested Development is imho one of the best comedies of the last decade. Its just a shame that it didn't get mainstream success, but i guess that's how it works.

 

I've been watching a lot of Breaking Bad recently. My brother finally lent me seasons 1-2 so i've watched them inside 3 weeks (with a SHERLOCK re-watch in the middle). Jesse is my favourite character. He's much more relatable than Walter, but i think thats deliberate. I mean, who can really relate to a guy like Walter.

 

So any Sherlock/BB fans?

Sherlock! I forgot to list that...

 

Too bad the next series is a year away. Oh well..

 

I thought it was airing at Christmas/New Year? You've just ruined my morning Ser.

 

Just started Misfits this morning. Really enjoying the first two episodes. Antonia Thomas is mighty might fine.

Well, not including cartoons or anime, my favorite shows right now are probably the following: Breaking Bad, My Name is Earl, 30 Rock... Arrested Development is getting one more season and a movie so I'm all kinds of excited for that. I watch a lot of random stuff on the history and the discovery channel, too.

Yes, join us in misery...

 

I just googled Antonia Thomas and got a completely different result and I was like "Woah... what!?". Turns out i had typed "Antonio" instead. :unsure:
