to everyone
if you were to present/chose your top 5 fav. seires, which ones would be?!
here's mine (i hope to present the correct titles):
5- "life goes one" (corky and company, i always was very fond of it, very nice storys and well directed overral...even if sometimes were corny, lol)
4- "sherlock holmes" side by side with "yes prime minister" (the quality trademark of the thames production house is showned clearly on this 2 series...well written/directed and the sherlock holmes one has a veyr nice photography too)
3- "hill street blues" (what can i say, it's simple fabulous this series: great charcaters, storys, etc...and i love the "rainy/hard blueish" photography)
2- "the simpsons" nuff said
1- "the muppet show" triple nuff said. my all time fav. a work of art!!! humanity and pedagogy side by side!!!
honorable mentions to "MASH" (this series were always great and impressive/striking...)
what are your choices?!
regards, Pedro.

5.Drew Carey- I love Drew what can I say
4.Angel- Much as I like David Boreanaz the more I watch the reruns the less they seem to hold up to me
3. Futurama- Catered more towards my sense of humor and pretty darn funny at that. The Rebate episode and "Jurassic Bark" are some of the best half hours of TV ever.
2. Family Guy- A drop from #1 because of the last season. I really hope it gets better.
1. Buffy the Vampire Slayer- 'Nuff Said
Could possibly make it here one day:
My Name is Earl- Only one episode has aired but I haven't laughed this hard at a TV show since I first saw Drew Carey
30 Days- What can I say? Morgan Spurlock is awesome. The second season needs to get away from feeling like a reality show like the last couple episodes did.
and the ones who have dropped off:
Dukes of Hazzard
Simpsons
Home Improvement
Mad TV

1. Twilight Zone: It's a classic, but still a favorite. The show was far ahead of its time. Rod Serling and that staff of writers were always good at telling fresh, interesting, and innovative stories across countless different genres. I don't know if we'll ever see its like again. 2. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Another great show that was unique, well-written, and pushed the genre and the medium to a higher level. (Except for most of Season 4 and towards the end of Season 7, but you can't have everything.  ) 3. Angel: It began as a Buffy spin-off, and was good in that role until Season 5. Then it became truly great television. S5 Angel had the best cast I've ever seen in a Buffyverse show, a strong direction, and a great core dynamic between Angel and Spike. I'll honestly miss this one. 4. Black Adder: British comedy is hit or miss with me, but I love Black Adder. A lot of black comedy with biting wit and some truly great dialogue. Edmund Blackadder (in all his incarnations) was a scoundrel, but an interesting, complex scoundrel. 5. Not really sure about this one. Classic Star Trek, Monty Python's Flying Circus, and the original Muppet Show are close contenders for me. |

There are a lot of TV shows that I like a lot, but all-time favorites would have to be Charmed, ST:TNG, Forever Knight, Dead Like Me and... well, I'm really digging the final season of Kung Fu right now. But then my memory's faulty and I can only remember what I've seen lately, and I know there are a lot of TV shows I wish were on DVD, but just can't remember them right now.
I'm not gonna even get started on anime - that's a whole nother beast. ^_~

Kung Fu as in David Carradine little grasshopper? ;D
u know that role was originally intended for Bruce Lee but in the end he was rejected as the studio allegedly preferred american (as in white) actor.

Darn it! I forgot about that show definetly on my list. Odd thing I saw The Graduate the other day and the guy who played Feeny had just as annoying a voice back in the 60's as he did in the 90's.

Dang, that's funny, but kinda sad. I have no idea what it would have been like with Bruce Lee.... it's hard to imagine. But I like it the way it is. It always calms my mind and relaxes me. |

well it has a lot of buddhist philosophies in it bar the grasshopper bit. ;D
as for the bruce lee part, if i recall well enough (but don't take my word for it though), the studio did want bruce lee in it but they chickened out in the end as they're afraid the show might bomb. needless to say, that was the one that broke the camel's back & off he returned to Hong Kong where he truly flourished.
