Top 5 TV series
 

May have been done before, sorry if it has, but here are my top 5 TV series :

1 The X Files
2 Life On Mars
3 Sherlock
4 Ashes To Ashes
5 Walking Dead

I haven't put any comedy series as I would be here for ages , but OFAH would be right up there with Porridge .

Hmmmm.

1. Breaking Bad
2. Monty Python's Flying Circus
3. The Sopranos
4. Twin Peaks
5. Life on Mars

This will be hard but my list starts like this.

1. The League of Gentlemen
2. Red Dwarf
3. The X Files
4. NewsRadio
5. Kids in the Hall

honorable mention goes out to river cottage series 1,2 and 3.

This is a great idea for a thread mate.

The Owl Service
Children of the Stones
Raven
Misfits
Robin of Sherwood

Great idea for a thread! Okay, my favourites are-

1. Doctor Who
2. Little House on the Praire
3. Holliston (So far it only has two seasons, but it has the potential to rival the top two based on their quality alone IF the further seasons are as good)
4. South Park
5. Spongebob Squarepants

Is Breaking Bad as good as everyone says? Seems everyone raves about it, will have to give it a whirl.

Damn,cant believe i missed Doctor Who out :pout:

What is Owl Service ? Never heard of this one.

Not in any particular order:

1. The Walking Dead
2. The X Files
3. The Big Bang Theory
4. The A Team
5. Hammer House of Horror

It's great. First couple of seasons were very good but it's amazing from the third onwards. It's an incredible show.

A difficult question to answer! Even more so because I don't really watch many/any new TV shows...

1. Lars Von Trier's Riget (The Kingdom)
2. Twin Peaks
3. Peep Show
4. Father Ted
5. Arrested Development

1- Doctor Who
2- Buffy the Vampire Slayer / Angel
3- The Shield
4- Teachers
5- Blakes 7

Absolutely. Impossible. Task. So. Much. Left. Out.

Dallas, The Simpsons, Life on Mars, Las Vegas, Smallville, Family Guy, Rome, Sons of Anarchy, Babylon-5, Thriller, Hammer House of Horror, Sex and the City, Firefly, Misfits, The Inbetweeners, Damages, Californication, Secret Army, Band of Brothers, Friends, Curb Your Enthusiasm.........................

I'll do Ron's for him!

The Sweeny
On the Buses
Mind Your Language
George and Mildred
TOTP2

On the Buses only second are you serious? :lol:

That will do very nicely,so far Ive whittled my list down to about 20,but even then i remember another show id forgotten,so this list is just as good as any,from now on MTDS will make all my decisions for me ;)

I thought he did anyway.

Give me your money and your women, they will be better off with me.

Jesus! Ron, if his hands are behind his back do as he says..... Sounds like he's got his mate Si with him

Poor MTDS. For all his intimidation all he got was 70p and three copies of Razzle.

HA you have'nt seen the women ive been with,you'd be bettter off with Dem's in drag,and ive sunkall my money into a double decker bus as used by Reg Varney.

Two pages - that didn't take Ron, er' long.

That will do me.

1) Quatermass and the Pit
2) Doctor Who
3) Breaking Bad
4) Cowboy Bebop
5) Neon Genesis Evangelion

On the Buses
The Sweeny
Mind Your Language
George and Mildred
TOTP2

I know it's technically TV but I would have to do a separate list for anime. My five favorite western TV shows...

1.THE WIRE
2.TWIN PEAKS
3.THE TWILIGHT ZONE
4.OUTER LIMITS
5.MASTERS OF HORROR

after that it would go on with CARNIVALE, DEADWOOD, BOARDWALK EMPIRE, BUFFY, ANGEL, SUPERNATURAL, THRILLER, QUATERMASS AND THE PIT, THRILLER, DOCTOR WHO (NOT THE NEW ONES!)

Fave anime/japanese series....


1.GHOST IN THE SHELL STAND ALONE COMPLEX
2.EVENGALION.
3.STEINS GATE.
4.RANMA 1/2
5.SLAYERS.

But this list could go on and on and on as well certainly attack on titan is a contender.

This is why I dislike top 5/10 lists... I keep changing my mind.

Do you consider all the Slayers series (Next, Try etc) to be one big thing or are you just placing original series in your list?

If i was to make a separate list for live action/ western series and anime it would go...

Western:

1) Quatermass and the Pit
2) Doctor Who
3) Breaking Bad
4) Batman TAS
5) Boardwalk Empire

Anime:

1) Cowboy Bebop
2) Evangelion
3) Revolutionary Girl Utena
4) Death Note
5) Baccano!

This is naturaly conditional to frequent change!

Forgot about Kolchak:The Night Stalker :doh:

I was actually wondering why you didn't include old Carl. I seemed to remember you where a bit fan.

I created that list off the top of my head quickly

I need to watch the whole series before I decide if it's a top 5 series. Its certainly very freaking good.

I've seen the Kolchak film and thought it was pretty good, but have never seen any of the series. I'll have to try and check it out at some point. :nod:

This sounds good.

Maybe I should have said "Top 50" lol. :doh:

Well the new slayers are not as good perhaps but the story's all interlink. The first three were and still are absolute classics of the fantasy genre in anime.

Here is my top five TV series

1.The Sopranos
2.The Walking Dead
3.Millennium
4.Married with Children
5.Tales from the Crypt ('89 - '96) :woot:

Doctor Who
Monty Python's Flying Circus
The Sweeney
Life On Mars
Target

Doctor Who
Twin Peaks
Six feet under
V
Hammer house of horror

Glad to see someone else here rates millennium. I'm probably in the minority with this viewpoint but I preferred it to the x-files.

Also nice to see Hammers TV shows getting a mention. I really rate tales of mystery and suspense.

I could probably do a Top 20, but anything past that and I'd be struggling.
