I watched the most of the first season and found it to be idiotic. I like Family Guy to some extent (it's not funny anymore, it ran its course), thought maybe American Dad could have been what you claimed it to be. I find nothing true about your statements. It's a retarded show with retarded jokes, no intellect or thought injected into it. The fish is horrible, the alien should die; then you're left with a cheesy, non-funny version of Family Guy. I like Seth MacFarlane, but I think he came up short with American Dad.

I think the quality of prison break has really fallen since the original first season which was quite good. This season sucks.

Infact, most of the serieses looses its quality after the first, second season mostly. But the only thing which makes me keep in watching, is actors' Performance.

I guess then that you find highly three-dimensional and constantly evolving characters, an unformulaic yet not erratic plotline, social commentary without preachiness, and a penetrating look into crime in American cities that no other show dare treads, all greatly unappealing. Gotcha.

Rarely does one on Debate Politics make it so easy to know who to ignore. Thank you.

All in the Family is a classic. Very few sitcoms have managed to develop such interesting and hilarious characters. The Jefferson's, a spin-off, was an awesome show too.

It's also an abomination that not one single person has mentioned MASH.
 
How I met your Mother
Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Entourage
Lost
Hereos
House (before CTB died)
 
The only current show I watch is Lost, and that is online. I do not watch any television anymore and I am not upgrading when the digital switch happens.

These are my favorite shows from the past (with Lost) in order:

Six Feet Under
Lost
Football
Simpsons
X-files
Twin Peaks
 
I cannot believe people would call Heroes their favorite show. Nothing about it is original and it has favored silliness over storyline. Also, the guys who play Sylar and Peter are the worst actors on television.

It never made sense to have more than two seasons of a show like prison break. It has now become the most illogical show with the most far out illogical evolution. They are just milking it..

Lost on the other hand is still great, and in my opinions has the best actors of any tv series.

The concept is the biggest appeal. I personally really like Sylar's character. Peter, not so much. The cheerleader is really annoying too.

The concept is lame(I later learned to like it).. First I didnt like the series at all, but was forced by a female friend to watch it, and I did.. I though the acting was generally horrible and the film technical really bad. Eventually I learned to appreciate the TV series for its entertaining character, and as it has progressed, so has the acting and the film technical aspects of it. Now its one of the show I watch all episodes of. I generally like it for entertainment, and the film technical of it has become very good.

The concept is a rip off of the X-men and this last season they stoled elements of Superman. I have never seen an original idea on that show.

Its not the characters that bother me, its their poor acting ability.

It takes the mutant/super hero story and brings it to the real world with everyday people. These people aren't suddenly acrobatic kung fu fighting savant's or have access to unrealistic technology (X-men). They also are not from alien planets. The story unfolds like it could occur if me or you suddenly had super powers.

The story has all the well established powers one would expect as well as some creatively new one's as well.

The acting was OK given the no name cast. As with all shows with new actors, their skills advanced through the seasons.

Film technology? Are you talking about the angles of the shots? I thought they were quite creative. JJ Abrams thought it necessary to jack the intro text creative for his Leverage show.

Unlike lost.... Lost also had "no name cast" and they are FAR better actors than those in heroes, still, and they were fabulous from the beginning.

Colours, sound, general quality of shots and editing.. I all developed through the seasons, but was quite bad in the beginning. It actually annoyed me quite in the beginning.

That is exactly what the the X-men books have always been about.

Again, Heroes is nothing original.

Lost season 1 was carried by Matthew Fox (Jack) and Terry O'Quinn (Locke), not really a no name actors. The other actors were nothing spectacular. I am glad to see Josh Holloway (Sawyer) finally having a more developed role.

I like Lost too. I am glad it is finally getting semi-back on track. I stopped watching it for one season because it went off on so many unresolved tangents.

I guess that is just personal taste. I personally liked all of that since season 1.

The X-men stories are normal people that all of a sudden get powers and along with that can fight like they have been studying martial arts for years and have access to technology the rest of the world doesn't know exists.

They are great stories and are the foundation of the Hereo's concept but it is far from what reality would be like if everyday people suddenly got special powers.

Rome
24
House
Weeds
Dexter
Scrubs
Lost
and
South Park

They are hands down the best shows on TV now.

Unfortunately Rome isn't on anymore but it should be on the list.

The books did focus on the problems of everyday life and mutant powers. The mutants were everyday people before they got their powers, just like Heroes.

Everything Heroes has done was already done in the X-men stories and other superhero stories. Please point out one thing that is unique about Heroes.

Which is the best TV series?

My 10 favorites are:
Rome(extraordinary fantastic) what's that?
Deadwood(insane) never heard about that one
Lost I think I've seen half an episode 2 or 3 years ago
Heroes ???
Scrubs what?
American dad(funniest show) isn't it a kind of family guy?
24(all seasons are quality) - season 7 i fabulous. is that the story of the dude who tries to escape a jail?
Seinfeld never heard

Actually, thats just 8 shows I like really well..

Its impossible to make a fair poll with so many shows, so I am just going to add the 9 biggest shows(serious ones, not comedy shows even if they can be best), vote, and/or mention your own favorite series of all categories.

What if I don't have a TV? :mrgreen:

When I was young I loved Mr Bean. The simspons & family guy are fun too, but Mr Bean > everything else
