Favourite TV-shows?

[VoOs]

Inspired by the recent movie topic: What are your favourite TV-series?

Here's my Top 5:

• Sherlock - (Flawless acting, smart script, beautifully shot.)
  
• Parade's End - (Intelligent, complex and classy as hell.)
  
• The Walking Dead - (Great acting. Zombies. I'll say no more.)
  
• The Office, original UK version - (Awkward British humour at its finest. Also, the ending made me cry.)
  
• Doctor Who - (Occasionally silly but very, very charming.)
  

Runner-up:

• Breaking Bad - (Only recently started watching this, but I really, really like what I've seen so far.)
  

I'm looking for new shows to watch, so I could use some good recommendations. ^^ Go, go, go!

Waking The Dead (BBC)

Northern Exposure

Downton Abbey

Criminal Minds

... kinda.

[Smokey]

Massive Doctor Who fan here my all time number 1

Others include:

Downtown Abbey

The Tudors ( surprise surprise)

Merlin

Buffy the vampire slayer

Miranda

anything with Jennifer Saunders, Joanna Lumley, Dawn French, David Walliams, Matt Little etc in it hahaha- kinda cheating i know but there just amazing actors/comediennes & anything there in just turns to gold in my opinion

[smooshi]

TV series only or shows in general?

Oh-kay... I adore "Blackadder"- it is absolutely hilarious. Then "I, Claudius" is amazing (I swear I didn't know who played Livilla's part until I saw her. I started to watch it because I love Roman history). I guess that's it.

From the game shows I really like "The Crystal Maze". I don't know is it because the idea of the show itself is brilliant or because the complex just CALLS for playing hide and seek in it or because Richard O'Brien hosted it (sorry Ed) or because the contestants were absolute twats, but there is something that makes me watch it for hours.

In no particular order

BBC Sherlock (absolutely brilliant!!)

Law and Order: Crimminal Intent (Goren and Eames- brilliant together)

just got hooked into: The Newsroom (Wow! What I wish that news actually was - plus Sam Waterston is incredible)

Tudors ( ) They need a part II

Merlin (I'm having to catch up- am working through season 2 and Saturday starts season 5 )

[tma]

Oh-kay... I adore "Blackadder"- it is absolutely hilarious

And *nods* Absolutely! :wub: Blackadder. The episode re: the dictionary was my favourite.

[VoOs]

I can't believe I forgot to mention Great Teacher Onizuka, the live-action adaption of the GTO manga.

It's sooo sentimental and cheesy, but it's the best kind of feel-good cheese, and damn it, Takashi Sorimachi is simply irresistible as Onizuka. Just look at his stupid face.

[lovelylovexoxo]

Glee, Law and Order SVU, Criminal Minds, NCIS and Bones

[Spoo]

I rarely watch TV, man. HOWEVER, I do watch Bones religiously. I'm on and off with The Walking Dead, only because I'm terrified of zombies...I'm just addicted to the drama/development between the characters, haha.

[SusieQusie]

Daily Show, Colbert, South Park, Glee, Mad Men

...and then some of the more shameful ones

Degrassi (The best after school special ever)

Toddlers & Tiaras (I'm so sorry )

Here Comes Honey Boo Boo (I just can't look away!)

Long Island Medium (I can't help it...I love her!)

19 Kids and Counting (They're just so weird!)

Freaky Eaters (Nothing but cheesy potatoes!)

My Strange Addiction (lots of pica)

Drugs Inc. (Pretty informative)

Abby & Brittany (Normal conjoined life)

Dateline (It should be on Lifetime)

Breaking Amish! (Had to edit to add this!)

I love TV and I love weirdos.

[Lime]

Currently following the awesome Glee. Plus Greys anatomy, How I met your mother, The new normal, Go on, 2 broke girls and Big bang theory.

What's that? "Get a life"? Pass.

[SweaterWeather]

Wow, lots of goodies here!

Glee - I know, I know, it's been mentioned multiple times, but it really is a great show!

Bomb Girls - I freaking LOVE this show. So much. So many gorgeous beauties, and it's so witty. <3

Grey's Anatomy - So much drama, in such a small time slot.

Scandal - My nana and I watch this every Thursday, and it's so fast-paced (which some may not like) with lot's of sharp twists and characters. I love them all. And Shonda Rimes :3 I swear, we share a brain....

Being Human (UK and US versions) - This show is my heroine. I'm so hooked.

I think thats it...for now....
