Youth N Asia 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Heroes Sylar: Haven't I killed you before? Peter: Didn't take. It's very rare that a show comes along that I can get completely entangled in, Heroes is one of those shows. Awesome mix of action, drama, fantasy, comedy. Great great show I was stuck between this and another show, but I was banking on Heroes getting picked before the other one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RepoMan 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2008 The Office (US Version) Not only the funniest sitcom currently airing IMO, but it features some of the best character development seen in any series. Every little gesture or choice of words has a subtle but revealing nature. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackFlagg 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2008 The Shield One of my favorite shows. Great characters, storylines, everything. One of the rare shows that has actually gotten better and better with every season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackFlagg 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2008 Married with Children And we go from one of my favorite dramas to one of my favorite comedies. Married with Children took took your average 30 minute sitcom and turned it completely around, and along with The Simpsons it was the show that made the Fox Network. I can still watch episodes that I have seen dozens of times before and laugh. Imitated on many occasions, but will never be duplicated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Youth N Asia 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2008 I've come to realize that my dreams of getting my top shows have been seriously dashed. I am unlikely to get another of my top 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C Dubya 04 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2008 I figured a lot of shows that I had near the top would go quickly so I only did a quick listing not worrying about the order. The five at the top are gone already though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RepoMan 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2008 South Park Has been by far the best animated series in the country for over a decade. A great mix of shock comedy, far out adventures, satire and socail commentary, that while I often disagree with it, it is always well presented. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Youth N Asia 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2008 Deadwood. Instead of leaving a typed out reason for why I love this show. I'll just leave some quotes Tom Nuttall: My bicycle masters boardwalk and quagmire with aplomb. Those that doubt me... suck cock by choice. Al: Dan, you've really got to learn how to show interest in a girl without murdering another person. Jewel: Goddamn it Richardson! You're too damn ugly to be sneaking up on people. Al: Pain or damage don’t end the world. Or despair or fucking beatings. The world ends when you’re dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man… and give some back.

C Dubya 04 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2008 SNL is a solid pick. You've got over 600 episodes, plus a ton of music too, so that's a bonus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gWIL 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2008 Friends Probably my favortie sitcom, good writing, plus plenty of episodes to keep me busy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C Dubya 04 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2008 This was a tougher pick for me. Most of the shows I had hoped would come back around to me were snatched up. (note, Friends was not one of these, as I am lacking a vagina ) Anywho, from a tv sitcom standpoint, Scrubs still stands out to me. I might not watch a few episodes from the last couple of seasons no matter how bored I am on the Isle of Dubya, but the first several seasons were just too good. Plus I know that they hold up as I have already been watching them repeatedly on Comedy Central for the past year or two. Scrubs also is one of the few shows I can think of that remains funny, but also can be emotionally draining at the same time. The episode "My Screw Up" particularly comes to mind and IMO is the best example of a comedy show doing a serious episode this side of Arnold and Dudley almost getting molested.

Mecha Mummy 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2008 And now for something completely different. IT'S... Monty Python's Flying Circus SNL definitely has longevity on its side, and one can't argue with the sheer depth of material there. I wish I could have snagged it first. However, in terms of pure quality? There isn't a single sketch comedy program I would take over Python, man. Not a one. Absolutely fantastic, everything good comedy should be.

Youth N Asia 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2008 I'd rather be dead set in the middle of the draft. it's not to have 2 picks close together, but it's such a long wait for the next one.

Mecha Mummy 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2008 I like the early seasons of MASH from what I saw of it but all of the later stuff I saw bored me (basically, the moment Trapper John left and was replaced by that other guy).
