Best TV shows
Well, I just updated my list again after watching several shows on DVD, obviously I like fantasy/horror/drama genres as my list shows...I say these are the "best" because they create characters that I love, address important moral and philosophical issues and entertain the hell out of me. I know there are folks who will disagree with every one of these...I'm simply listing them cause I greatly enjoyed them and feel others may also!
1) Buffy the Vampire Slayer (7 years, WB & UPN) 2) Angel (5 years, WB) 3) Dead Like Me (2 yrs, ShowTime) 4) Forever Knight (3 years, CBS, syndication, USA) 5) Firefly (part season, Fox) 6) Charmed (8 seasons, CW) 7) Dark Angel (2 seasons, Fox) 8) La Femme Nikita (5 seasons, USA) 9) Veronica Mars (3 seasons...current, CW) 10) The Highlander (6 seasons, syndication)

Currently tops Boston Legal - Denny Crane! 24 House Gilmore Girls - show is dying Smallville - wife says show is getting too weird though - always wait to kick Lex Luthor's a$$ in whiffleball twice a year Scrubs Desperate Housewives Two and a Half Men CSI Miami - trying to catch up on CSI Vegas - NY bores me. Lost - just started watching - I have not a clue why though Past Dallas Knots Landing Cheers Charlie's Angels - LOL

Your entitled to your opinion but because you dislike something it doesn't necessarily make it bad! Others have chosen to list the shows they enjoy, it would seem to add more to the thread than simply making negative statements!

I've been meaning to watch The Unit ever since Summer Glau joined the cast but just haven't gotten to it yet; Kojak was a favorite of mine, along with Columbo...the best of the older cop shows imo, then came Crime Story and Homicide, Life on the Street a bit later.

The interesting thing with this thread is the diversity of taste that is represented...bottom line is that if you enjoy a show, that's all that is important. I just finished watching Forever Knight....as you can tell by my list, I loved it! I saw a few episodes in the early 90's when it was on CBS latenight but it is so much better watching the DVD's, the plots are sometimes a bit loose, some continuity problems but those are over-shadowed by the rich characters and the darkness of the show...not for everyone, some episodes are disturbing but they are thought-provoking. The main character (Nick Knight) is only my third favorite character, normally that would be a problem but not in this case...Nigel Bennett is supurb as the dark master, Lacroix and Deborah Duchene absolutely stole my heart as Janette. If I have any complaints, aside from the somewhat unsatisfying ending, it would be that Janette is only in one episode in season three....if that character was actually real, I would volunteer to be her slave, I think she is one of the best fictional characters ever to appear on TV. The flashbacks make the show and it is unique in that it is primarily a "cop show" aside from the vampire element!

Here is one where people will have mixed feelings about, I love it and so does most my family, but one of my best friends thinks its terrible and so does his family.
Everybody Loves Raymond I think it is brilliant!

ok, but please tell me that Seinfeld had the ability to do that for you, cause that might be the best of all time.

Again, the diversity of opinion...I never really cared for that show (Seinfeld), I do like Everybody Loves Raymond. Comedy shows just don't do it for me, I love comedy but prefer it in the context of storytelling. When I turn off the TV and spend several hours thinking about an episode of a show, debating the moral complexities, allowing my mind to wander into the dark and back to the light...then I feel I've watched something worthwhile. I just watched the next to last episode of Forever Knight and now I wonder, what would have been my decision if faced with the choice Lacroix had almost 2000 years ago? Would I have killed my own daughter or....???
