Archie Bunker. . .

[El Presidente]

Cracker.

Robbie Coltraine was sensational as the lead.

It was refreshing to see an obese, intelligent, chain smoking, manic depressive, alcoholic philanderer who could still solve crimes through the haze of self inflicted abuse.....and still pick up chicks :-D

Now:

Nip/Tuck

Prison Break

Then:

Seinfeld

[Mike33]

For me its:

-The West Wing

-The Simpsons

Kind of a great divide bewtween the two....:-D

[jseeds]

I'm with Ken on this one...Buffy #1 no doubt. It had it all...young women, vampires, good writing, dark humor, etc.

#2 would have to be Twin Peaks...

#3 would have to be LOST

[Ben]

Twin Peaks for me without question.

lost and 24 both seriously excellent. never seen nip/tuck but met one of the actresses at main beach. plays a coke addict married to one of the main guys or divorced. not sure. lovely girl. chatted for about 3 hours - i think she felt safe as every bloke on the coast was hitting on her (how sad is that). for hollywood actress, i was surprised at what a great fan of bush she was (that is george).

For me, it's a constant battle between The Sopranos and Seinfeld. Seinfeld will always hold a slight lead though.

[Cam]

The Sopranos. For the raw, real, hilarious drama. I even went on the Sopranos tour in New York and met some cast members.

....don't say it Rob....DONT"T SAY IT!

[Ken Gargett]

that is why i said it first - so much for the truce.

I've always enjoyed:

Hawaii 5-0

Miami Vice

The Beverly Hillbillies

...and my all time favorite was Rod Serlings Night Gallery

My vote goes to "Firefly". If you like Buffy, you'll love Firefly. Shame that it only lasted one season. If you haven't seen it, pick up the DVD of the series. I'm still hoping that one day the SciFi channel will pick it up and continue where the movie "Serenity" left off. BTW, "Serenity" IMHO, is one of the best science fiction movies ever made. Deserves to be in the same league as Blade Runner, Alien, and 2001.

Yes. Buffy!

For a sit-com I liked Davis Rules. Randy Quaid and Jonathan Winters. Only on one season -- 1991. Maybe two.

Joss Whedon is a genius writer/director. If you liked 'Buffy', you will probably also like 'Angel' (gets continuously better and 'darker' from season 1), Firefly (as mentioned), and Veronica Mars (not Joss' but he heartily recommends it, even starred in one episode).

'Tru Calling' isn't too bad, not great but not bad... if you liked Eliza Dushku as Faith, you'll probably like this one. Sadly it was cancelled just as it was hitting its stride.

'Twin Peaks' is another old favorite.

'Lost' was very refreshing for the first 2 seasons, then the constant disappointments inherent in never reaching any sort of final answer starts to wear thin.

The new 'Battlestar Galactica' is truly a milestone in tv history.

For comedy I have to say 'Mystery Science Theater 3000'.

[habanablue]

Married with Children man what a classic!! The Bundy's were the most amusing dysfunctional family of the mid 90s!

[Jimmy2]

Married with Children Yes a great one...

[anacostiakat]

Oh and right now I am hooked on Dexter!

[Tiny Tim]

I have to go with Seinfeld! Funniest dang show ever! Well, it's in the top 5 anyway! ;-)

[hoagie55]

Without a doubt - MASH

I also enjoy Magnum P.I.

Alias was really good for a while, until they tried to get too cute.

You gotta love Jennifer Gardner in all of the crazy outfits!!!

And for you western fans - Gunsmoke!

Drama - the original Law and Order!!

[phxkev]

None of y'all are being honest.

Maude and Golden Girls were the best shows ever. No real man can deny the sex appeal of the one and only Bea Arthur. She's a bad mama jama. She's hot and I love in her any and every way a man can love a woman.

[stever]

Fairytale Theatre. Definitely check out the Frog Prince episode with Robin Williams. Hilarious!

Fawlty Towers

The Black Adder

Blake's Seven (British Sci Fi series from the late seventies/early eighties. Way ahead of its time.)

First two seasons of Six Feet Under
