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)

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!

IrishofNDMan 03-01-2007 01:57 PM

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