Ashley Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 Fox can anything thats decent. AD, Firefly, Wonderfalls and I think they're behind Reunion but im losing track. Oh and Kitchen Confidential. Its all gone gone gone!
Noodleman Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 how on eartyh has no one mentioned one of the funniest and most intelligent sitcoms i have ever seen: Arrested Development.do yourselves a huge favour and go buy the season 1 boxset! Curb your entuhsiasm is better which also hasn't been mentioned tbf
ViPeR Posted January 15, 2006 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.
Mr. Bananagrabber Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 Scrubs, Azumanga Daioh, Ghost In The Shell, The Fast Show, Monty Python, Father Ted, Black Books, Fawlty Towers, Blackadder etc etc.
seamus_aran Posted January 15, 2006 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.
Ashley Posted January 15, 2006 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!
Tom Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Curb your entuhsiasm is better which also hasn't been mentioned tbf i find curb waaay too disturing. larry david just seems like such an unpleasant man in it. i need to rewatch it though.
Shorty Posted January 16, 2006 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.
DiemetriX Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Heia tufte :p A show where a PRO fotball trainer train Nerds and then go agains of of norways best teams 24 just starte watching it.

Kav Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Red Dwarf Blackadder Fawlty Towers Cheers Oz Lost Home Improvement
soag Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Point being?15.15.15.15 Point is I have no point, I just like to take silly jabs at you
Shorty Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 So I saw episodes 3/4 of 24 series 5 today. Fsking amazing, I loved it.
Meik Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 So I saw episodes 3/4 of 24 series 5 today. Fsking amazing, I loved it.I'm downloa - er, acquiring 3 and 4 right now, I wish I lived in America. What did you think of 1 and 2? I shed a tear whilst watching 1. I'm such a dork.
Shorty Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 I'm downloa - er, acquiring 3 and 4 right now, I wish I lived in America. What did you think of 1 and 2? I shed a tear whilst watching 1. 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 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
knightendo Posted January 17, 2006 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!!)
DanielTimothy Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Eastenders, Top Gear! Takeshi's Castle, Lost, Viva la Bam, Will and Grace, Family Guy, Malcom in the Middle, Dirty Sanchez. Anything with Peter Kay, Jimmie Car or Stephen Fry in I'll watch happily.
AshMat Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Just got first 10 eps of Lost s2 from ebay. Bloody quality
Shorty Posted January 18, 2006 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 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Im also interested in Supernatural. For those who wish to know, its starting on ITV2 at 9pm on the 22nd (this Sunday).
Stocka Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Im also interested in Supernatural. For those who wish to know, its starting on ITV at 9pm on the 22nd (this Sunday). Cheers, I'll check it out.
Ashley Posted January 19, 2006 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 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
