ViPeR Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Hmm there's so many. Errm. Peep Show, Father Ted, Lost, Bottom, Blackadder, Red Dwarf, Fawlty Towers, Sliders (1st and 2nd series before it got silly), Crystal Maze, Takashi's Castle (never watched more than 3 episodes but deserves a mention), and 80's cartoons in general.

seamus_aran Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Prepare yourself for a long list. Scrubs - comedy genius. Peep Show - in my opinion a British version of Scrubs. Except filthier and with funnier characters. "So your getting married out of embaressment?" and the one where Jez was in the Jury... so funny. Lost - brilliant. But I can't find episode 10! I keep on getting old episodes which I DON'T want. Friends - great in its hay day. Dated but for light cominc relief its great. Nip/Tuck - filthy, funny, enough random story lines to keep it going. With enough drama to suffice. Pokemon - from 1st series to the current 8th is it? I grew up with them and until they kill off Ash I wanna know what happens to him. My Name Is Earl - a new one to me, but I really like it so far. The OC - light girlygirly drama. But still good enough to make the list. Aaah Summer... Smallville - gotta love that superman. Loved "The new adventures" and love this one. Desperate Housewives - reminds me off the smurfs (its on the list too). Theres hot smurf (gabriel) ginger but hot smuf (bree) Still-Louis-Lane-in-my-head smurf (Louis Lane) and ugly smurf (ugly one) Neighbours - hooked since I was a wee nipper. What can I say :S Gillette soccer saturday - been on here before but incredibly funny. Bo Selecta (only series 1) - pure genius at the time. Ruined it when canned laughter was added. "I'm not gonna break america i'm gonna break majorca". Ruined Craig David's career which is never a bad thing. Buffy - only first... 4 series? Turned poor after that. Willow, a lesbian? HA. Xander? Not after Buffy? HA. Spike, good? HA. Saved By the bell - loved it when i was young Smurfs - classic communism. Little blue men running around defeating an evil wizard? Hell not even Lost could think up something so ludicrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Bah Willow was always meant to a lesbian. "Look at me, im so skanky. And I think im kinda gay." - See, foreshadowing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 CSI - The Original, Miami is good and I cant get into New York. Maybe its the fact its set in LA and it looks bloody amazing, and is there anything Grissom doesn't know? The original CSI is set in Las Vegas my friend but carry on.

I'm such a dork. I missed them because I wasn't really interested, I think I'll download them. I also believe downloading TV shows is legal... I'm not certain but I think since the show does not lose out it doesn't matter. Plus big enough fans to download episodes usually watch them on TV and buy the DVD boxset too.

Ashley Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I see your point Shorty but its a grey area. Sure if people in Britain download episodes then American networks aren't loosing out, but if people in America do it then the networks are loosing out; less viewers, less advertising and thus less money and all that. So I think its just safe if we live in blissful ignorance and not mention it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightendo Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 nice to see my fave show of all time getting a mention, knight rider rocks! season three heading our way soon too!! :) have to say though, that i am totally addicted to the new battlestar galactica, nothing else like it on tv! absolutely stunning! i've also actually gotten back into (don't laugh lol!) baywatch! they've started showing it late monday to friday nights on uktv gold, and it's so easy to forget that its first five-odd years it was a pretty good show with decent characters. the first year is so different to what came after too. i'm loving hogan knows best, bloody hilarious! and i'm waiting to get lost on dvd as i lost track of the show on tv by missing a few weeks. patience is a virtue lol! (like any battlestar fan will tell you after the end of season one!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I can't believe I missed out Supernatural - co-starring Jensen Ackles who played a large part in Season 4 of Smallville, this became one of my favourite shows very quickly. For those of you who know nothing about it, it's a story of two brothers who travel accross country vaguely in search of their father, and fighting spirits, demons and ghosts etc.. The show almost let itself down a couple of times by blatantly ripping off a few movies - for example there's a scene where a girl in a dirty white robe with long black messy hair over her face crawls jerkily out of a mirror, it almost looks like they stole actual footage from "The Ring" and super-imposed it onto their own show. However I heard somewhere that this is done intentionally as a tribute... so I let them off. I think the show's coming to England soon, it's genuinely scary in places for a TV show, and well written. I love the overall style too, they use a very specific colour pallette constantly, faded browns, khakis and blacks with high contrast lighting, its very indie looking.

Ashley Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Just seen an advert for Supernatural actually, was one of those artsy adverts that have no clips or anything; think Lost's original ad. Anyway it was good, but the music choice was bad. I understand they were trying to go for alt/rock/gothish to go with the show but it didn't work.

elniro Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 O yea i also like "King of the Hill". It's got clever humour, and the animation style is pretty good. Dale is the best character in there by far, he's jus so funny with his conspiracies and stuff lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
