TV Series Recommendations

No particular order:

Peep Show

Adventure Time

Jam

Weir's Way ('70s/'80s show from Scotland with an old guy called Tom Weir, walking/climbing and just seeing weird shit. Really slow-paced and meditative)

Firefly

The Office (both US and UK versions)

Detectorists

BBC nature documentaries (they're all good)

BBC4 music doccos (usually great stuff)

Limmy's Show

Shit, I forgot about Rick and Morty; so good

I've always been keen to watch The Prisoner from beginning to end. It's one of those shows that's always been floating around and seems part of the national consciousness but I realize I've never watched a single episode.

Ps I don't really watch tv, so thats the most interesting contribution I think I can make.

Breaking Bad

Star Trek (all of them)

X-Files

Battlestar Galactica (both)

Sopranos

Tales From the Crypt

The Joy of Painting

Curb Your Enthusiasm

Futurama

That 70s Show

There's probably some I can't think of that will push their way in, but it's hard to think of everything on the spot.

I can't believe nobody mentionned Friends yet ??? I know it's been overplayed but c'mon it is still a really solid sitcom nowadays !!!

I seldom watch TV, but I'll just go ahead and mention Invader Zim as one of my all-time faves.

Also like X-Files, Ren & Stimpy, Tim & Eric, MTV AMP, Breaking Bad, Mythbusters, Jeopardy...is that 10? Fuck it.

The Singing Detective

I Claudius

Pennies From Heaven

The Young Ones

The Wire

Tales of the Unexpected

Fingerbobs

Picture Box

The Box of Delights

(last few showing aging)

Breaking Bad

Curb Your Enthusiasm

House of Cards (american version)

South Park

Horarce and Pete (only 3 episodes in, but daaaaamn it's good so far.)

Louis

Archer

Twin Peaks

Simpsons

The Office (UK version)

Dexter (though later seasons get weak/cheesy)

I need to watch Sopranos again. I remember being pretty blown away by episodes I saw, but it's been 15 years and I never finished it. I was never any good at keeping up with scheduled weekly anything. Netflix/pirate bay is really what brought TV into my life.

luckily there are a load of episodes on YouTube so I return to them often.

LOL at the guy mentioning Friends. That show is utmost cancer, it kinda birthed cofee-shop wankers, and it had a general, cosy, middle-aged take on modern culture that just did not hold. Plus the fact that many other writers and producers tried to replicate it, ruining it for everyone. Plus the concept of the "Rachel and Ross" type of relationship. Before Friends, people were single, together, married, or divorced. Memories of Rachel and Ross constantly talkin shit like "we are on a break" keep coming back to me, and it gave way for this kind of romantic ambiguity that persists to this day.

Anyway, my top would most surely contain The Sopranos, The Wire, Seinfeld and Game of Thrones and Twin Peaks. Pretty basic I guess.

dang missing some big ones here fellas..

no order.. maybe.. well kinda an order ok its in order

Larry Sanders Show

Mystery Science Theater 3000

The Day Today

The Office (UK)

Tim & Eric

Xavier: Renegade Angel / Wonder Showzen

Venture Brothers

Futurama (seasons 1-5)

Spongebob

tie between Space Ghost Coast to Coast and Seinfeld

ugh so hard... GIRLS and Iron Chef (Japan but with english dubs) would probably make the list too...

also lol @ GIRLS and The Office being the only ones that remotely approach drama... dramas generally suck

Don't know whether you're being ironic here or not because that's exactly what I like about that show !

And the fact that it's been (badly) replicated so many times is a solid proof of that show being very good at what it is : a sitcom, complete with false laughters etc.
