What are your favorit TV series?

[NIIIC]

I see, you all ready seem to know it. I know it might seem a strange and infantine question but I think it could make an interesting topic. So if you poster, give the name of it and a short description of it.

 

For me it is JAG does any one know, it is about the US military layers, but recently it went down in quality because it is happening during the war of Iraq, which wasn’t happening when the series came out, but now it is not so interesting.

 

Other is Star Gate SG-1 but it is finished. I read critics about the new ones Star Gate Atlantis, and they say it isn’t as good as the last one. But it also said that they might continue SG-1, and that they are trying to get the guy that plays O’Neil (or Mc Gyver), and I hope they will because he is the one that brings the series up. For the story, it is derivated from the film Star Gate that you all know I suppose, same story but what appends next. To be briefs, the archaeologies have found a big ring of at leas 4 meters wide (13.12 feet) buried in the Egyptian dessert. And the US army teaks it and discovers that it is a door that leads you to other doors on other worlds. And you imagine the rest.

I've two favorites:The Simpsons, and Seinfeld. When I was a kid, I really like the A-Team and Knight Rider...

[AdmiralFishface]

1.) Babylon 5, not only the best Sci-Fi series there is, IMO, but my overall favourite TV show as well.

2.) Futurama. Three words: Funny as hell.

3.) The Simpsons. Yay for yellow.

 

Also: Monty Python's Flying circus, old but great, X-Files which would definetly be in my Top 3 were it not for the horrible 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th season, and Batman: TAS which was great until someone decided it should be more of a kids' show.

[Barkoa]

The Simpsons is good, but...

 

FAMILY GUY is better! That is the funniest series ever to be created. It so random, I love it.

 

Also, I find Spongebob Squarepants quite clever and amusing too.

[Grand_Admiral_Thrawn]

I'm a fan of Family Guy, and was relieved to hear that they are bringing it back (there haven't been new episodes in a year or so).

[Barkoa]

I was stoked to find they've released series 1 and2 on DVD now. I'm gonna get them soon, if I can find them.

[Grand_Admiral_Thrawn]

They're a little pricy for me. They were good, but not $70.00 good.

[NIIIC]

Looks good, I forgot two other of mien, Friends and Will & Grace. They are quite fun, I think you know them all, but her in Switzerland, we just have the ones that have had a great success in the USA and that the French TV can afford. And of yours, I only know one, the Simpson, the other, I have never heard of them, so a bit more description would be welcome. Just to increases my knowledge.

[Krytos]

Series I like:

Star Gate SG-1 - though, it hasn't been on for a while (and it finished half way through series 6 or 7 - stupid Channel 7 )

 

Scrubs - great comedy about doctors, inturns and residents. Very funny (Once again, channel 7 has seemed to cancel it )

 

Simpsons - funny

 

Futuruma - funnier

 

King of the Hill - Good for a laugh

 

Ed - I thought it was a great comedy, loved the $10 bets

 

24 - Last season was great - didn't like the others though and I'm pretty sure everyone knows about 24

 

Old School:

From a few years back - mainly cartoons (Hey, I'm only 19!)

 

Transformers - More than meets the eye

 

Battletech Animated series - love Battletech, no surpirse I loved this!

 

Dinosaurs - A bit like Simpsons, though with hand puppets of Dinosaurs ("I'm the baby, gotta love me" )

 

Well, that's all I can think of - probably more, but who's counting? ?

[NIIIC]

There is an other one, it is about doctors in the emergency department in Chicago, it is that series that mad G. Clooney famous.

I forgot its name in English, I think it is Emergency Department or some thing like that.

[Grand_Admiral_Thrawn]

Close, it ER, or Emergency Room. I never watched it when Clooney was on (maybe because I was only around 12 at the time), and now it just looks like a primetime soap opera.

 

As for a description of Futurama and Family Guy:

 

Futurama: Like the Simpsons, only set in the future (a very messed up future at that). It's funnier than the Simpsons, and doesn't have any of the repetative catch phrases either.

 

Family Guy: This is the simpsons if Homer were fatter and dumber, Marge had fewer morals, Bart were fat and really dumb (more so than Homer!), Lisa is still smart, but she's your typical teenage girl, Santa's Little Helper (the dog) is a savvy, high-class mut who talks and enjoys drinking, and Maggy is a little psycotic baby who enjoys goading the dog (who can talk), attempting to kill his mother, and creating weapons.

[Mad78]

Simpsons: Never resist it

 

Stargate SG-1: Very entertaining

 

John Doe: Really enjoyed that one

 

N.C.I.S. : prefer it to the experts

 

Fawlty Towers: English Comedy with a very in shape John Cleese

 

Skithouse: Australian sketch show... hilarious

 

TLC: Black Humor. It only ran for 6 episodes but it was hilarious

 

Dad's Army: More English humor

 

Gundam Wing: Good but got a bit boring after a moment

 

Dr. Who: A very old seventies show. Very fun to watch.

[NIIIC]

Close, it ER, or Emergency Room. I never watched it when Clooney was on (maybe because I was only around 12 at the time), and now it just looks like a primetime soap opera.

Thanks, i never sore it then either but since it was the only program on TV when i came back from school, i got sort of court in it, but now i don't see it often, even never.

 

Futurama: Like the Simpsons, only set in the future (a very messed up future at that). It's funnier than the Simpsons, and doesn't have any of the repetative catch phrases either.

 

Now i know what you mean, it is made by the same producer that Simpson. It came out hire a few months ago on cable. Never sore it, or yes, once it was about his sister having a date with an idiot from what i understood.

 

N.C.I.S. : prefer it to the experts

 

Yes that one is also good, but experts are also, mostly the new ones in Miami. Did you see Wednesdays one, they passed two new ones and an old one, i hate it, because you go back in time, and it sounds strange.

[Barkoa]

Lano and Woodley! That's one of the best series ever! Its so funny, but unfortunately they only ever made about 15 episodes. GOod aussie humour!

[Mad78]

Talk9ing about Aussi humor.

On one of my rare trips to Oz I bourght back the episodes of the series "The Games"

It based on these people trying to organise the sydney gaems. Its a Roar. All Australians or Tazmanians who haven't seen it should.

[NIIIC]

Does that mean i HAVE to see that damn stupid thing? . It is stupidly idiot, noting funny in the parts i saw from it. Just stupid bureaucrats that wander how to put a 400 meter long strip in a 396 meter long space. And are asking each other if they can shorten the running strip of 4 meters so the camera can fit in or some thing like that. With that stupid laugh behind. One good series that has that laugh but IS funny is «Everybody loves Raymond" that is great. There is also that English program that i forgot the name of about two not young women that love doing things that riche people do. Does any one know, i think you or some one of your family knows mad, so go and ask.

[Guest Scathane]

I think CSI and CSI Miami are nice. Charmed an Buffy were okay but these kinds of television series tend to lose their appeal to me if they go on too long. Gilmore Girls is okay, as is Will & Grace. With regard to miniseries, i particularly liked Children of Dune and Band of Brothers.

[NIIIC]

Band of Brothers is awesome, Charmed is good, but i never liked Buffy, and anyway it was always passing at midnight so it was a damn nuisance to see. Is CSI = Experts??? That scientific division of the police?

You have to like aussie humor

You must mean "Absolutely Fabulous". Nice black humor.

[Guest Scathane]

Yep: Crime Scene Investigation...

[Stellar_Magic]

I must say for all fans fo science fiction like myself...

 

Stargate SG-1 or Atlantis both Rock!

 

Thank you for your cooperation.

[Krytos]

YES!!! Band of Brother was great!!

 

I forgot to mention CSI, it's great - though I CAN'T stand CSI: Miami

 

News on Stargate SG-1 - It's back on in Victoria, Australia! Just had the episode where SG-1 goes back to Jonas Quinn's homeworld after beeing asked for help - hmm, just looking at the web site, they didn't show the episode before it where Daniel comes back.

 

 

What's this Stargate Atlantis? I've never heard of it

[Mad78]

Well after a moment O'Neil has to be frozen and the only way to save him is to find the lost city of Atlantis.

[NIIIC]

I heard Atlantis isn’t any good, is it true???

[Stellar_Magic]

No. When you here stuff like that you have to take it with a grain of salt, its the opening season and therefore the characters aren't nearly as good as the later ones. I mean just look how cheesy the first season of StarGate SG-1 was. For the opening season Atlantis is extremely good...still we'll have to wait and see if they can keep it going.
