How can Seinfeld not be on that list! Crazy. Looking more closely at the list, however, I don't think there are any comedies in there. . .  All of these types of "All time. . ." or "Best of. . ." lists are always subjective anyways.

Just as an FYI, some current TV shows that are awesome that would be on my favorites of all time are Entourage (HBO series) and The Big Bang Theory (American sitcom on CBS).

Among the current shows, I've got to admit I like House M.D.

As I wrote in post #40 - The newspaper article that started the thread is "The Guardian's top 50 television dramas of all time". Tht's why there's no great comedies in there - like Seinfeld from the US and Fawlty Towers from the UK.

Anyone seen 'Hung' on HBO. Yeah, it's about a guy with a big dick who becomes a 'pleasure consultant', i.e. male prostitute, with a female pimp. But the best thing on TV at the moment is 24.

I have been watching Chuck for a couple of season, I think its one of the best new shows on TV.  Also, the Mentalist is and interesting show as well.  As usual 24 is great.

Red Dwarf has long been my favorite show of all time, although I am still not sure if I like the newer slicker series compared to the low-budget early series. Un-smegging-believable! It's a shame they never got a movie made..

In very general terms, I much prefer English shows over American - compare the two versions of 'The Office' for example.

Thank god no-one has mentioned 'Neighbours'. I would like to apologise to the world on behalf of all Australian for that show!

I'm surprised Star Trek:TNG is missing, or any Star Treks for that matter.

Finn, I love your list, it's pretty much what i've been watching lately.

Entourage?

And yes, I love Firefly.  I still have the whole season somewhere.  Along with Serenity.  Did you know that Serenity was actually a box office failure?  Watching Serenity made me so depressed about what Firefly could have been.

Chuck and the Mentalist are two of the new shows that are good and stand out, but Chuck itself isn't that new. It's already in its third season and almost wasn't renewed after last season. Its renewal for next season is also still up in the air.

Of the shows in the list, there are many that I haven't heard of, but since it's a UK list... no surprise there.

I've seen some of 'The Sopranos' and just can't believe it's the best drama of all time. To me it was just average and certainly not something I ever made a point of watching.

yea, it starts out a little slow and strange. But you must watch it from the beginning to understand the relationships and the forming of the characters.
Its all the little things in the detail and the writing that make it brilliant.

"The Wire" is amazing too. Again its all the detail and believable twists and turns that make it good.

Anyone can put in hot chicks and make big explosions, but it still comes down to the writing and plot to keep you hooked.
