vg_kim Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 "OK, get ready for the crappiest TV on this list. I don't have cable."Whatever! Crappy old TV is the best. 90210 Beverly Hills may not have cracked my list, but man do I ever LOVE putting it on Netflix and snickering and how dramatic it is. And the outfits...amazing!

--- Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 I don't watch TV unless I'm watching with others at their house, but I have some shows that I like catching on DVD or Hulu. We actually don't even own a TV. That being said, here's the list in no particular order...-Good Eats-MST3K-Firefly-Tied: Stargate SG-1 & Stargate: Atlantis-M*A*S*HYes, they're all completed shows. I have some current ones I enjoy watching, but I wouldn't say I like them enough to be favorites. I can take them or leave them.I do have a bit of a desire to see more Dr. Who, but there's soooo much I would have to catch up on.... Link to comment
joeyb Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 I just got caught up on The Newsroom and I already love that show. We'll see what Sorkin does with it and if it goes the way of The West Wing or Studio 60. I have to imagine that, since it is on HBO and judging by how good it is, it will succeed.

vintageenvy Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Hmmmm.... the order of these change over time naturally, but my top 5 would have to be...1. Bones (I'm a nerd for the original books as well)2. Lost (I actually didn't watch it when it was on air because I was working and going to school full time but now husband and I watch an episode like every night, we're almost through the series now)3. Mythbusters (I spend way too much time on Netflix watching old episodes)4. House (Refused to watch the last season, shit just got out of hand)5. NCIS (I also haven't watched any of the newer ones after season 6 or so, I'm still in camp Kate and I can't help but like her better) No matter how slow you're going, you're still lapping everyone on the couch.

azsf Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 so much firefly and arrested development love; whenever a show gets cancelled you know it's gonna be awesome breaking bad isn't for everyone, it's very dark and grim and deals with some pretty nasty issues. but it's amazingly well written, directed and acted. it's like The Wire with tighter focus and bigger narrative. it might be a bit hard to understand the praise if you're just picking up the series now, but part of the reason it has the following it does is because it grew so well. i started with the show when season 1 came out, which was like 6 episodes long and was this quirky story of the malcom in the middle dad going crazy and cooking meth. watching walt get bigger and badder with every season while jesse gets more and more endearing is pretty amazing [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] AZSF - lvl 4 assassin STR - 9 | DEX - 12 | STA - 10.5 | CON - 7 | WIS - 8.5 | CHA - 1 Link to comment

Raikas Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 1. Homicide: Life on the Streets2. The X-Files3. Star Trek: Deep Space 94. Doctor Who5. Oz*More recently I've been enjoying Spartacus, Burn Notice, Game of Thrones, and Dexter, but it's hard to call new shows favourites since I don't know how I'll feel about them in another year or two. I also have a soft spot for the vampire detective sub-genre, so an honourable mention to Forever Knight, Angel, and Moonlight.*Although if mini-series count then maybe a toss-up between Bleak House and Generation Kill instead.

Garth Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 3. Red Dwarf(I know Red Dwarf has ended but it had to be on the list!)Red Dwarf is having 10th season and it will be airing this year on Dave. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Red_Dwarf_episodes#Series_X_.282012.29I'm not sure how I feel about it, I wasn't crazy about the specials they did back in 2009. Hoping that it works better as a series of separate episodes rather than one 90 min episode split into 3 parts. Follow me on Twitter: @garth_green Link to comment

Garth Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 I was just thinking it would be fun to do a tournament to decide on the official nerdfitness favourite TV show. Something along the lines of you PM your top 5 or 10 to someone, and they'd have to ranked lets say 1-10, with 10 points to each no. 1 vote, 9 points to a number 2 vote, and so on. Once all the ballots are in it can be tallied up and we can determine the overall favourite shows for the board and have a run down. Does anyone else think this would be a good idea? I've seen it done on other boards, and it's usually pretty fun. Follow me on Twitter: @garth_green Link to comment
Lizifer Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Ooh, tough. Buffy the Vampire SlayerSports NightFirefly Gilmore GirlsFriendsWell spotted: there is nothing currently on telly that garners a win spot in my top 5, though American Horror Story, Sons of Anarchy, Big Bang Theory, and Parenthood get time on my DVR (and I remember to watch things, which isn't as often as many, I think). the power of [geekhood] compels me: "Oh, I'm gonna hit you so hard, your children will be born bruised!" -- Tank Girl "Do you know what the definition of a hero is?

I just wish it had more than 2 seasons :-( I got hooked and watched it and then one day it was just gone...made me sad.
