What do you think is the best current TV show? I'm going to exclude ones that are over because I don't want to try and compare Full House to .....


EDIT: Just tried to create a poll and it fucked everything up. yay I got it fixed

Family Guy
Futurama
American Dad

I'm not even sure if these are still going. I don't watch much tv anymore. But I liked them all when I did watch more tv.

Also, all of those shows you listed are good, except for Breaking Bad, I don't know if it's good or not, as I've never seen it.

I don't think South Park should be on the list though. South Park used to be freaking awesome. Their newer episodes haven't done much for me. At least the ones I've seen. I pretty much quit watching it. I love watching the older shows, like Season 1-11, and the Gay Fish episode, whatever season that is in, on southparkstudios.com though.

I'm not going to make a poll yet until we get an idea of what to nominate. Give me some ideas. I'll start.

Mythbusters
House
South Park
Breaking Bad
Simpsons

There's no way you'll get consensus on what the poll is going to be on. I think you should make a few different threads, each with different categories (cartoons, sitcoms, dramas, learny-stuff [aka Mythbusters]) and then we can take the winner of each of those and put up a final poll.

mrs. thegreekdog and I enjoy The Good Wife, Parenthood, and NCIS. Apparently, we're old.

I haven't seen the bolded shows, but something tells me you mean whipped, not old.

I guess I am too, as NCIS is perhaps my most favorite show.

Entourage
Curb Your Enthusiasm
The Big Bang Theory
Modern Family
Cougar Town
The Mentalist
The Good Wife although some of it is too predictable
NCIS
60 Minutes
My Name is Earl reruns
I liked the very first season of Grey's Anatomy
PBS:
Independent Lens
MI-5
Sherlock Holmes the new one
Hustle
Dr Who
Masterpiece: Classic, Mystery! and Contemporary
Globe Trekker
Austin City Limits
Frontline
Prime Suspect, Red Dwarf & Black Adder reruns

Yeah, I rarely watch TV anymore, but when I do, Mythbusters and Top Gear are definitely my top two favorites.

NCIS is an easy choice for a near perfect combination of humor with enough seriousness to care about.

I suggest any who have time check out Justified as well. It has some of the best and unique dialogue in a TV show you will probably ever see.

Dirty Jobs
Mythbusters.

30 Rock has been good and Parks & Recreation and Outsourced
are ok too.

Dexter (waiting for Season 6)
The Big Bang Theory
Top Chef
Mythbusters
CSI Vegas

We have a winner. No need to discuss anymore.

And as for the thread starter. The Simpsons hasn't been good in 10 years, great in 15. South Park hasn't had a great episode in a few years and is good at times. House-no. I'll give you Breaking Bad though.

Is this a joke? If not, how low are your standards?

CIS is pretty good, as is Criminal Minds (or was), but I rarely have a chance to watch them any more.

(my son/husband are into "Sons of Guns" -- my husband watches, my son sees it taped)

Regular Show

Futurama (supposedly there's still another season coming out so I'll count it)

Mad Men

Big bang theory is great. I love all the geeky jokes.

Speak for yourself. Insheeption is one of the best ever.

V
Family Guy
Psych

That's all I can think of. I don't watch a whole lot of TV.

NCIS
Mythbusters
Dirty Jobs
All 22 (You need the Mtn. Channel to watch it)
Rivalries (same as All 22)
Destination Truth

So much bad taste in this thread it's disgusting.

Modern Family
Family Guy
Spaticus: Gods of the Arena

Ah, yes! A good show, indeed. I forgot about that one. I freakin' love Phil Dunphey.

In terms of British stuff, if it makes it over to America,

Being Human (after a bad second series, and yeah I know about the remake)
Outcasts (after a poor first episode)

Are both good at the moment.

Otherwise, Charlie Brooker's How TV Ruined Your Life is great at the moment too.

Oh- and Misfits is pretty fun too. It's essentially Heroes, but with Chavs.
