T21 Top 10 TV

Following on from a thread I started in the Music Forum (and a rash comment I made the other night about the greatest TV program ever) I thought it would be fun to ask what everyone's favoutite ten TV shows of all time was, and to compile alist from it.

Again, like the Music thread, they shouldn't just be your current favs, but shows that have made you who you are, and shaped your taste. Eg. - I prefer DS9, but TNG got me into Star Trek in the first place, hence its listing here.

To start things rollins, here's mine (in no particular order):

Twin Peaks
Brass Eye
Red Dwarf
Star Trek: Next Generation
Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Simpsons
South Park
M.A.S.H
Black Adder
Moon Lighting

In order of votes (5 minimum):
Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Angel
Star Trek: Next Generation
The X-Files
Blackadder
Red Dwarf
The Simpsons
Stargate SG1
The Young Ones

Pure class

Igsy As J B S Haldane once said, "The universe is not only stranger than we suppose, it is stranger than we can suppose".

Hmm, to pick 10...

Doctor Who (the first cult show I ever got into)
Original Star Trek
Next Generation

Babylon 5
Buffy

I've deliberately picked the shows that made me a fan of cult stuff and kept me there- and the few comedies that I've organised my week around.

I've remembered a few, not necessarily good, but ones I watched loyally:

Brave Star #eyes of hawk, ears of a wolf#
Incredible Hulk (scared me when I was ickle)
The New Adventures of Superman (ultra pap, but I had thing for Dean Cain

)
seaQuest DSV (had a major thing for Jonathan Brandis, those were the days of a 14 year old, lol)

I do recall something along the lines of Lee and Herring, but can't think of the exact name of the show. But I recall a phrase 'you want the moon on a stick you do' Syd will know. They also had a guy running around screaming, 'I am Rod Hull, I am him'

OK, sound like Spike now, lol

Milky "Busted - Now that you're gone, I'm sleeping with the light on..." Pof, 2005

Lori You wear guilt like shackles on your feet, like a halo in reverse.

I agree. Spaced is fantastic... can't believe I overlooked it (must chack back). I bought a DVD box set of both series on the strength of a few episodes and am now addicted. The commentaries are hilarious too

No, I didn't forget it. Unusual for me as I have a memory like a sieve!

That would be 'Fist of Fun', or possibly 'This Morning with Richard Not Judy'. Both were fantastic. I went to see Lee and Herring live when I was at Uni and they were hilarious.

I actually enjoyed Seaquest to, although as bemusing as it sounds, I thought it was more cool because of Darwin the Dolphin

you don't get many dolphins in fantasy programmes

Choppy and the Princess was the film, the tv series was called Princess Knight in England and US and Ribbon No Kishi in Japan. God I'm a geek.
