1. Seinfeld
2. Gilligan's Island
3. Three's Company

I never tire of reruns for any of these shows, and it's a little like Name That Tune, in that I only have to watch a few moments from an episode before I think "Oh yeah,  this is the one when..."

In fact, when I was a kid, before VCRs, I used to tape record (audio tape) Gilligan's Island episodes and listen to them when going to sleep. Good times.  ;)

Sopranos

Title: Re: Favorite TV show?
Post by: Brian on June 27, 2005, 03:17 PM
The Mrs. and I watch our TV together, so that does reflect some of the choices here as well :).  I can't really limit it to three either, but I'll try to break it down somewhat.

Current Shows
1.  Scrubs
2.  Family Guy
3.  Smallville
4.  Arrested Development
5.  Simpsons
6.  That 70s Show
7.  Lost
8.  Desperate Housewives
9.  Conan O'Brien
10.  Justice League Unlimited

Rerun/Syndicated
Simpsons
That 70s Show
Seinfeld
Futurama (Adult Swim)
Home Movies (Adult Swim)
Smallville
90s Marvel Toons (Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, X-Men)
Looney Tunes (Boomerang)

Don't necessarily see these shows every day, but catch them fairly regularly.  We don't really watch any reality TV, just don't get into much anymore.  We watched a couple of the earlier seasons of Survivor, but haven't really since.  We usually lean more towards comedies for the most part, although we're quite into Smallville and Lost.

I think--and this is just a guess--that what "The DS" is trying to say is that currently, his favorite show is Heroes.  It was just (surprise!) worded a little unconventionally.

My favorite current show is The Office, by a country mile.

All-time favorite would have to be Seinfeld.

You ain't kidding.  That was almost Lady Jayesque.

Current favorites - LOST (drama) and The Office (comedy)

Title: Re: Favorite TV show?

After 'Heroes' my next choices are Law and Order and CSI(wherever).

Good call Matt
 Actually, If I just worded it like this then it would have been OK

'Current Show? Then it's Heroes.'

I guess I tried to 'cheat' and not use so many words..I guess that went well :P.

Ironically, if you would have dropped just one more word, odds are it would have made perfect sense, and we wouldn't be having this discussion right now.

Then currently The Office. Not by a country mile though, just a city mile.

There are quite a few shows that we enjoy and watch pretty regularly, but as for the favorites:

Comedy
Scrubs (returning November 30th!)
The Office

Drama/Other
LOST
Heroes
Smallville
Supernatural

There's also the old standbys like The Simpsons, Family Guy, and My Name is Earl....oh, and syndication/repeats :).  Scrubs is definitely our favorite, and we've watched from the beginning.  Its never been a big ratings hit though, and will now (finally) be on Thursday nights - so it might struggle against Grey's Anatomy and CSI, which everyone seems to watch.
