Favorite 5 TV shows I have watched religiously, never missing an episode.


The Shield
Californication (only one season in but so entertaining)
Entourage
OZ
How I Met Your Mother
While I love Family Guy and South Park they dont make the list for lack of a continual story line.

Dexter nearly made my list but I thought the first season took a little while to get off the ground, fantastic second season though, cant wait for the third.

X Files
The Late Show (D gen)
Frontline



The only four shows I have ever watched religiously.

SouthPark is one of my fave all time shows, but for some reason I always forget that its on til the day after, so I cant say that I never missed an episode.



And my three other favorite shows of all time are The Young Ones, Bottom and Blackadder. Got them all on DVD, cant remember if I saw them all when they were on TV.

I like that show too! It's only 6 episodes long because BBC shows only have 6 eps a season (eg. Black Books).

Yeah, I'd probably choose Ziva as well, but she could make your last remaining minutes on earth a living hell, she could kill you a million ways, and not that many of them would leave a smile on your face.:)
Although I guess Abby could kill you too, and with her expertise in forensics, she's probably get away with it.:eek:

Bring this thread back to life, heres my favourites (really in no particular order):

Black Books
Flight of the Conchords
Dexter
South Park
Boston Legal

Much harder than first thought, most are currently airing which might be why they favoured over ones not on anymore.


Some that just missed out were X-Files, Desperate Housewives, Heroes, Scrubs, Drawn together, Californication, Prison Break, OC and Absolutely Fabulous.

Honorable mention to the wonderful show “Saint Elsewhere.” A show that makes ER look like a play at a school for children with downs syndrome.

The Shield
Californication (only one season in but so entertaining)
Entourage
OZ
How I Met Your Mother

While I love Family Guy and South Park they dont make the list for lack of a continual story line.

Thought I'd redo my list 3 months down the track

1. Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia
2. Dexter (Season 3 starting the states on the 28/9/08)
3. The Shield (Season 7 started today in the states)
4. Californication (Second season starting on the 28/9/08)
5. Family Guy (Season 8 starting on the 28/9/08 + a spin off called The Cleveland Show)
