MASH - Best combo of comedy and drama in a half hour.

After giving it some thought I think ER would take it for me also. I sure did love Manimal as a kid though. Oh yeah and Quantum Leap, A-Team, McGuyver, Misfits of Science, Northern Exposure, Star Trek:TNG…

For me, ER easily takes it. It’s a show i’ve watched forever and i’ve seldom seen better characters. It’s just, you know you’re watching something great when you feel like you know the people you’re seeing on the screen.

24 could have been it, even Oz or MacGyver or Quantum Leap or The Sopranos. But, as far as sentimental favorites go, ER is mine.

Perfect Strangers.

Two words: Bronson Pinchot.

“Buffy the Vampire Slayer” - takes more chances than any show I’ve ever watched.

Seinfeld. Best. Show. Ever.

Utterly watchable and re-watchable. TV Guide got it right (for once).

(Ever notice how the writers of Friends, a good show in it’s own right, have been shamelessly lifting Seinfeld plots for years and years. I guess theft is the sincerest form of flattery.)

Manimal is a good mention…

Waaayy to many favorites. Right now, I’d say The Shield, plus various obscure British comedies.

Buffy Buffy Buffy.

joey9775 · February 27, 2003, 5:07am

Once again…Buffy.
I’ve been with it for seven years and had never seen anything like it. I’ve seen every minute of it and wouldn’t give it up for anything. It’s affected me in ways I still don’t know about. I’m gonna miss this show, lots.

TRANSFORMERS

Buffy was for a while, but lost when it went way downhill mid-season four. TNG was great, DS9 was awesome until the awful last episode, Simpsons will always have a place in my heart, Futurama rocks, Magnum and Starsky were great, as were Knight Rider, Airwolf, A-Team, Fall Guy. Much more I no doubt can’t remember, but none of them beat giant robots who turn into cars.

Babylon 5

Just incredible story telling in my opinion.

damon_houx · February 27, 2003, 5:29am

1rst: Monty Python’s Flying Circus
2nd: Twin Peaks
3rd: Mystery Science Theater 3000

The Jamie Kennedy Experiment
Law and Order…The classiest show ever. I love how it’s style is always so low-key; completely unique, in my book.
Seinfeld
Old "Columbo"s from the 70s. There never was a detective quite like Peter Falk’s.

Best sitcom/comedy: Seinfeld, with Simpsons and Futurama a close second and third.

Best drama: 24, with ER and The Rockford Files close behind.

flyarz · February 27, 2003, 7:37am

Constantly alternates between Seinfeld and The Simpsons.

sean_bateman · February 27, 2003, 7:47am

Sopranos

close second…

Twin Peaks

I hate to cop-out, but it’s gotta be a four-way tie between Simpsons, Seinfeld, Fawlty Towers and Monty Python’s Flying Circus. I never get tired of any of them, not counting the last few seasons of The Simpsons.
