Ray Garrison Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 The Homor Simpson is Dead thread inspired me to ask - what, in your opinion, is the "best" show on TV? Best story, best written, best acted, best effects, best sound, etc. For me, there's no question. Battlestar Galactica on SciFi is, without a doubt, the best show I've ever watched, including NYPD Blue (previous fav), The Closer, the better M*A*S*H years, everything else I've seen. Topical writing, great acting, spectacular sets, great audio... I *LOVE* this show. Other thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonbart Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Rescue Me is my vote. I like Sci Fi, but nothing has come close since StarTrek NewGeneration has ended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonbart Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I should also note for the past 10 years, the original Law and Order is the best long running series by far IMO. I love when they put their marathons on TBS. Top Notch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut-Throat Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I am assuming that you mean the best show 'Currently' running on TV. My Pick - Boston Legal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I took it to mean best current show on tv. It's always a cartoon (everything in life is a cartoon to you, isn't it? people ask me). South Park has the best writing on current topics or trends, clever song writing, and a take no prisoners attitude. Championed over the simpsons several years ago for me.

Allan Songer Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Currently in production? "Traditional" TV? I like Brotherhood and Weeds on Showtime. I watch every episode of each. Of course The Sopranos on HBO might well be the finest television drama EVER. Curb Your Enthusiasm on HBO (which may or may not have one more season--Larry David hasn't decided) is a really, really funny show. And I really, REALLY like 24 on Fox. I don't watch it during the season, but I get the DVD set from the production company every year and I watch the whole season in about 2-3 weeks. Love that Jack Bauer!

oldtimer Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Sopranos were great, especially the first few seasons. Are there going to be more? I also like 24, Allan. Still, South Park rocks for social commentary, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Lindsey Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Well... I loved the first 2 seasons of the Soprano's, but lost interest after that. Have never been much of a TV watcher (mostly movies and sports - Dodgers, Lakers, Rams, USC Football and UCLA basketball), but consider Seinfeld the greatest show on TV, period! Have seen them all and then some! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
