    I agree with you on 24!!! I love that show!! I've bought every season on DVD. You need to watch this past season, it's one of the best seasons. Just an FYI, in case you didn't know, next season is the last one unfortunately.

    I liked Prison Break, but hated the ending.

    No LOST? You have to watch that.

    And you definitely need to add True Blood to your list. Bilbo posted links to the 1st season (there's only 12 episodes), in our thread about the 2nd season. You should give it a try.

    Somebody told me that I could watch the 1st episode of lost and watch the last episode and not need to see the rest (1st season) so I never bothered.

    Guess I'll have to take a look

    They show a lot of American TV here but I just can't get into any of it. I'm really too English, I stick to BBC entertainment which is often annoying but keeps me settled with the few series that I can relate to.

    Lost is the best show ever on TV. Even better than Twin Peaks.. Yeah, I said it.

    Actually, I hate a lot of British TV too. It's all just filler for the adverts as Mr Chomsky tells us.

    I like my little bits though.

    Twin Peaks is one of my all time favorites!! I have all of that on dvd too. I never get tired of watching it.


    Did anyone ever see the Fox show called "Profit"? That is a show that I couldn't believe people weren't watching, and it ended up getting cancelled after 8 episodes. Even TV Guide called it the best show that no one was watching. Adrian Pasdar played the most evil character on any TV show made. Again, even though it was only 8 episodes, I bought it on dvd.

    The Wire is the single best TV show ever made. Fact. Script-writing puts everything else to shame.

    However, it requires a little patience at first, but its on a different level to almost anything else I've seen. It's much grittier than those you've posted though, more like Sopranos if anything.

    I liked the first series of 24, didn't mind the 2nd & 3rd, tolerated the 4th, & then it all went too far downhill for me & got overly ridiculous.

    Never really got into Prison Break mainly because I couldn't stand the main guy's acting (or lack of it)

    House is brilliant, the guy is such a twat.

    West Wing I never got into either.

    The gay ones you've posted up until Buffy, no the few moments I've seen with my girlfriend could've turned me into some sociopathic conservative or as it's more commonly known 'Lyle Syndrome'.

    Buffy was pretty good back in the day although it lasted longer than it should have.

    Angel actually wasn't bad.

    Lie to Me is pretty good, especially Tim Roth, however at times it does just seem like House with Lie Detectives, & Roth with not as good a supporting cast as Hugh Laurie has.

    If you can deal with a Brit show, you have to watch Life on Mars.

    US shows, Brotherhood is good & True Blood starts over here tonight, oh yeah & Lost is good, best as a boxset, I never bother watching it on TV

    I love the Wire, I'm in the middle of going through the series for the third time.

    I am a big scifi nerd and would highly recommend Battlestar Galactica. The original series was plucky comic relief and could be quite annoying. This reimagined series is nothing short of phenomenal.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    The last time I watched any sort of ongoing show on tv was back in the early 80's when Benny Hill was on. Well I did watch most of the 1st season of True Blood right before the second season started butb haven't seen any of this season. I hate tv. Ok; Crocodile Hunter and Jeff Corwin Experience

    Sooooooo not true. LOST is a show that you need to watch every episode, and you have to pay close attention to everything. It's a mind-boggling show that's for sure.


    Oh, and for pure laugh out loud fun, you have to watch Family Guy!!

    WHAT?! Someone lied to you realllyyy bad..

    if you miss an EPISODE of Lost, then you are.. well.. LOST!

    Thinking back to the first season, there was some essential character development, and of course VERY important back story. The great thing about Lost is that you always have to remember things in past seasons.. That's the only way you can put things together.. it really may as well be one long season, as it's not like other shows where they change from season to season.. Lost is one long continuous, in depth, crazy ass story.

    Come to think of it, the first season was one of my favorites, and i couldn't wait to watch the finale for that one.. if i watched the first and last episode only, i would have missed out on a great ride.

    I only watch American shows too, hate British tv, where everything takes place in housing estates with chavs.

    My fave programmes are Dexter, Lost and True Blood.

    Dexter is probably the best of all them because they really push the boundaries sometimes. the conclusion to season one was insane, can't wait for this to come back on tv again!
