Thought I'll start a thread on what you guys opinions are on the best and worst TV shows.

Re: TV Shows

Best:
1) The Wire,
2) The Office (UK version),
3) Extras,
4)That 70's show (last series shouldn't have been made).
5) Life on Mars. Which had quite possibly the best ending to a series.

Re: TV Shows

Best: Spicks and Specks, Law&Order SVU. Two and a Half Men (Charlie Sheen-era, but Ashton's good too), King of Queens.

Re: TV Shows

Best: Seinfeld, Sopranos, Lost, Entourage, Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, Game of Thrones

Worst: Futurama. Matt Groening trying too hard. Not funny at the slightest. Running joke in my household with me and one housemate hating it with a passion and the other liking it. Needless to say, it doesn't get a big run on tv in this house.

Re: TV Shows

Easily the best for me are Breaking Bad and Family Guy. The Walking Dead and Hell on Wheels are another two that I like, but the next seasons haven't started yet.

I used to like SOA, but it's turned into Home and Away on motorbikes.

Yeah they have brought Big Brother back. Not too interested in it to be honest.

I look forward to my weekly laugh fest, what a cracker of a show.

Re: TV Shows

Best:
1) The Wire.

Best series ever, loved every episode, the whole series has massive replay value. Omar is hands down my favourite character ever portrayed on film.

I am also a huge fan of Sons of Anarchy.

Worst shows would have to be Big Brother and the like.

Re: TV Shows

Curb Your Enthusiasm - Larry David is a genius

Love the previous noms of UK Office and Extras as well - both brilliantly written shows.

Re: TV Shows

Best in the order they pop into my head
The Office UK
Arrested Development (Don't know how 2 and a Half Men and Mrs. Brown Boys got mentioned first)
Simpsons (90's version)
Community
Archer and Frisky Dingo (same guys)
Louie
Futurama
Mad Men
Curb Your Enthusiasm
South Park
The Daily Show and Colbert Report
Chaser Guys (whichever show really)

Family Guy was awesome but steadily declined into unwatchable so it can go on both lists

There's some good shows that I've left out and the notable exceptions such as Breaking Bad, Sopranos etc are because I haven't watched them yet so I can't confirm how good they are.

Worst
All the Chuck Lorre shows are horrible (that's 2 and a Half Men, Big Bang Theory and Mike & Molly)
Pretty much all reality TV.
ACA and Today tonight. Chaser boys treated them with the contempt they deserved.
Any sitcom that feels a need to use a laugh track in this day and age. If you can't get enough laughs from a real audience then you aren't good enough.

I've generalized (mostly) because in reality there are so many horrible shows that get on TV (some of which become popular) that to name them all would take for too long.

I'll just take your lists

I'm so excited for the new Arrested Development series, I just blue myself.
