Ryan Stiles is absolutely brilliant..perhaps the best improviser in the world.. the problem with the US version is they had ryan and colin in every single episode.. in the UK version they always mixed it up with different improvisers.. thats what kept it fresh for 10 years.. the US version was just the same thing repeating.. shout out to greg proops also.. mike mcshane also a genius.. if you ever saw him and josies lawrence song about cat litter..funniest song ever
Oh here's something I can talk about for hours... however I will not...
But right now:
Heroes - Best TV Show right now Lost - Close 2nd Family Guy, American Dad - Actually prefer AD theese days since FG has lost a little of its former greatness 24 - Jack Bauer, our favorite psycho Scrubs - I'm a big fan of practically everything Zach Braff does Criminal Minds - "Dead Like Me" ended and I had to see what Mandy was up to next. I really like this show as well
Too bad the bald Canandian guy and the young dude(the commedian who is sometimes there and when he is, is usually paired with Wayne Brady) only appeared at the who's line is it anyways? at Davis a few months ago
I did, too, forgot about that one.
I have no idea how, considering I've got the DVDs sitting in front of me and I've been told that when I've been drinking I'm Bernard Black.
I guess I've seen them so many times that I've blocked it out.
I, however, will NEVER forget the dialogue between Manny and Bernard.
Manny: Is space hot?
Bernard: Of course it is! Where do you think we get pinapples from?
Favorite TV shows currently airing, in no particular order:
Heroes
Numb3rs (okay, I admit, I'm a mathematician and like this stuff!)
CSI:
CSI: NY
Mythbusters
Law and Order SVU
Family Guy
Favorite TV shows no longer airing, again, in no particular order:
Whose Line is it anyway? (by the way, if you guys like that show, I highly recommend seeing Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood live doing improv comedy (stuff very similar to whose line?). I've seen them 3 times and every show has been completely different and absolutely hilarious!)
Mr. Bean
Hogan's Heroes
Monty Python
Fawlty Towers
Get Smart (what can i say? Mel Brooks is a genius!)
Mystery Science Theater 3000
I don't really get into recent television much, I watch CSI and my entire evening most nights revolves around when Two and a Half Men repeats air, but apart form that there isn't much.
Lately I've been watching:
The Wonder Years
Are you Afraid of the dark
Star Trek: Voyager
Star Trek: Enterprise
Mission Hill
Beavis and Butthead
Ren and Stimpy
Futurama
Red Dwarf
Coupling
Reba
Still Standing
King of the Hill
I tend to only get into shows after they either go off the air or get cancelled.
I'd say Dexter is the most interesting and well put together series that's currently running. At least of the mainstream series. It has actually improved upon the already brilliant first season.
Heroes has stumbled a lot in its second season, and Prison Break hasn't really improved from the lousy second season either (first season of both series were excellent in my opinion). Lost, while at times being a bit slow on the plot progressing, has held up quite nicely in comparison. At least it is steadily proceeding to the eventual end of the story, unlike both Heroes and Prison Break which seem to linger on without any clear sense of direction.
The classic HBO series OZ is in my opinion the first 'modern' TV-series that really showed how intense and of high quality TV-series can be. Before that the most interesting shows were pretty much solely lawyer and police dramas, along with a few sitcoms.
Whose Line Is It Anyway is good beyond words.
I might be in the minority, but I enjoyed Chip Esten's and Wayne Brady's musical bits quite a lot as well, in addition to Mochrie, Stiles and Proops. I liked the UK shows at well, though you can see that it wasn't working quite as well in the first few seasons, before it had matured to what most people know it as.

Dexter is brilliant at the moment.. did you see the last episode? woo! :eek: The final season of "The Wire" starts in january..don't want to miss that
Mohinder has become such a tool in this series. He's suddenly become the absolute opposite of what he was in Season 1, and without much reason. I mean, he actually shot and killed Noah? Give me a break.
I love watching Pokemon,Naruto, Dragon Ball z.I never miss them.And shows which are good but i don't watch them regularly are Prison Break,CSI,Desperate Housewives,House,Burn Notice,CHARMED ,HEROES,LOST.List is too long.

my two favourite programmes are sliders and firefly (both cancelled but both brilliant)
I guess I can say that I like FLCL but it was only six episodes, + I have them on DVD so I don't consider them TV.
Yeah, my favourite shows are Firefly, 'Allo Allo, Father Ted and Spaced.

Season 4 is unbelievable..trust me.. Can't wait to order that season on DVD
This week's episode was pretty awesome. IMO. Actually changed my opion of Ub3r-Creepy Stalker West. A feat I thought was impossible.
Hear, hear!
