What Is Your Favorite TV Show?

My teen daughter and I just binge-watched Black Books on Netflix. Hilarious! We both love British humor. And she says the main character is just like me other than I don't drink. But I am antisocial.

I always thought Deep Space 9 was the best Trek show ever, and I'm old enough to remember the original series, and yes, I recognized your avatar, though don't ask me his name, as the memory stinks the older you get.

Of course, as good as DS9 was, Babylon 5 was still my favorite Sci-Fi show back in the day.

I have the entire B5 series on DVD. That, and Stargate are the only real-people series I've ever bought (everything else is anime).

 

[Miss B]

Oh Stargate, that was a fabulous show too, at least the original was. Stargate Atlantis was OK, but not up to snuff.

 

[frogimus]

Indeed.

 

[Lyne]

OH I'd agree... DS9 was the BEST... well... but I did enjoy Voyager too... then again, I loved Picard in Next Gen... and I actually just bought and sat through the entire ENTERPRISE and actually enjoyed it... tho I won't re-watch those DVDs...

I'm well into NUMB3RS now and loving it... it's so different!

oh YES... LOVED the FRIST Stargate... and also really loved Babylon 5.... I agree, SG Atlantis... meh!

Any Trek. Not as crazy about "Enterprise" but the others...love them all...

 

[Miss B]

Yeah, I didn't like Enterprise either. I'm not much of a fan of Scott Bakula, and I didn't think they script writing lived up to what we always expected from a Trek series. True it was supposed to be a prequel to the original series, but I just couldn't get into it at all.

Yep...really funny show. With some really great episodes...

I've started re-watching IN PLAIN SIGHT... a 2008 USA network series that ran 5 years, about 'witsec' (the witness protection program - here is the USA) - and I forgot how FUNNY it is, besides touching, dramatic, etc... very good TV... it was back when that network's phrase was: We welcome characters! and of course any show that is more character driven is really good, in my opinion.

 

[Miss B]

Oh, I always liked that show. USA always had some great programming, and still has a good many of my favorite shows. Are you watching replays on TV, or did you pick up the DVDs?

 

[Lyne]

oh I have the whole set of DVDs... so I can RE-binge watch my favorite shows.... my 'intuition' seems to know what I 'need' to watch at any given time... I caught sight of WEST WING in my closet, when getting IN PLAIN SIGHT down... I've turned an entire bedroom closet into a DVD library... and it's pretty much over flowed into a hall closet that I just put a shelving unit into... and that's beside my 'current watching shelves' downstairs in the living room (a room I only store things in sort of- I live, eat, TV and have my Nickie cat in the big Family-kitchen room- tho it has one smaller set of shelves with my 'watching right this minute' or stacks of brand new DVDs waiting... so yesssss I have a LOT of DVDs... I love being able to re-watch the previous season of any show, when I get the brand new season on DVD in hand...doubles the pleasure I guess! LOL!

 

[Miss B]

Ohhhhhhh, I always wanted to get the DVDs for West Wing. One of my all time fave shows. The acting and writing on that show was superb.

 

[Alisa]

Me too - we taped a lot of it but much is on video tape and we're missing some of the last season

Fun thread!!!

Supernatural is one of my guilty pleasures. Fun and quirky.

I dare you not to laugh ... the "That was scary" clip that comes in at around the 2 minute mark is one of my all time favorites.

 

[Pendraia]

I remember that episode and yeah it was very funny!

 

[Deecey]

That one ... and the UFO/Fairy episode are my favorites. Such a fun show, which reminds me I need to get the last season on DVD. Have to have them all, doncha know! LOL

 

[Pendraia]

So does my son except for the last season which for some reason annoyed him with the direction they took it in.

Scott Bakula is one of my favorite actors, so I loved Enterprise. I had a hard time getting into Voyager. It took me a very long time to warm up to Janeway. I'm not sure I ever really did fully warm up to her.

Funny how as I got older, I had more and more problems with Captain Kirk.

I think it's likely that Deep Space Nine is my favorite, followed by Enterprise. While I also think highly of Patrick Stewart, I just didn't care for the Borg storylines. I'm not sure whether I ever saw the entire series. I stopped watching TV during its run. It was quite a few years before I started watching "tv" again, not until online streaming hit the scene.
