Barney Miller

Taxi

Sex and the City

So difficult to just pick three!

1. The Wire

2. Breaking Bad

3. The Sopranos

Honourable mentions to Band of Brothers, The Thick of It, The Office, 24, The Killing, Boardwalk Empire, Game of Thrones (from what I've seen so far)

Only fools and horses.

Dad's Army.

Open all hours.

Seinfeld

Tried but couldnt do it ! Not 3 over 50 years of tv watching, geesh just too hard !

Spread over 30 years, Star Trek has to be in there though.

Six feet under

only fools and horses

lonesome dove

plus another 100 or so.

Dexter

Greys Anatomy

Desperate Housewives

And a few of the above.... and more. As that one said, after lots of years of tv its too difficult to decide. Mine were off the top of my head as ones that i have watched dilligently over the years.

Silly to ask for just three. Ten would have been better, and then some people would perhaps see some that they have missed and noted that more than a few chose them and then watched them for themselves.

I'll cheat and add the more recent ones which i recommend -

Ray Connolley

The Blacklist

The Following

and without a doubt

Downton Abbey

Off the top of my head:

Cheers

Curb Your Enthusiasm

Breaking Bad

Good point:

Seinfeld

Seinfeld

Curb Your Enthusiasm

quote "Silly to ask for just three. Ten would have been better"

Is silly the most appropriate adjective you know, after 7000 posts, surely you could be more deprecating ?

Could I say then that you are totally lacking in imagination, or you would have opened a topic with with ten.?

No doubt someone would find your numeric choice unwise, but not find it necessary to call you silly. Just a polite post.

I thoroughly dislike people like you, I think your nic has one superfluous syllable, the one with two consonants and a vowel, if your IQ is up to it.

You are not advised to retaliate it would be like pi**ing into the wind.

Find a more intelligent poster to help you.

So many series start great and then trail off. Dexter certainly falls into that category, as does Doctor Who, Six Feet Under, Sex and the City, House. In fact, pretty much any series I followed became a chore to watch towards the end. American TV channels in particular push series long past the point where they should be put down humanely.

No comment. I did write one, but will not degrade myself to that person's comment about me.

Well, just a little one. Go take a flying leap in the same direction when you are pissing into the wind.

Having a little hissy fit about tv series, woo woo woo.

Fawlty Towers

24

The Two Ronnies

It's depreciating not deprecating, by the way,

Seinfeld

The Sopranos

I'm Alan Partridge

I see no one has mentioned," One foot in the grave".

The Wire

Band of Brothers

Fawlty Towers

Monty Python

Ed Sullivan

Jack Benny

All time? Married with Children.

Star Trek

X-Files

Monty Python, The Beverly Hillbillies, and NCIS

I'd say The Three Stooges, but it wasn't really a series, but funniest of all time for me.

Recently:

1) Game of Thrones

2) Sherlock

3) Breaking Bad

But I really enjoyed watching many other recent and older TV series (The Avengers, The Persuaders, The Prisoner, X-Files, Stargate SG-1, Dark Skies, Homeland, House of Cards, The Mentalist, Dexter, Battlestar Galactica, etc.)

Yes I agree with your sentiments about series continuing well after they have they should have . That is why series like Fawlty Towers ,Yes minister and Wire in the blood were so good and get my vote which the OP was asking .

Breaking Bad

Battlestar Galactica (the latest one , not the one from the 80's)

Sopranos

Vikings

frasier

game of thrones

1) The Sopranos

Psych

My Name Is Earl

Many many faves but these were pretty quick to come to mind...

1. All Creatures Great and Small...... takes me back to the days of my youth in North Yorkshire, even though it was slightly before my time the places and the people were / are the same.

2. LA Law

3. House of Cards, the original starring Ian Richardson. I have not seen the latest USA version starring Kevin Spacey yet.

There are so many more, it seems a shame to cut off at 3!!
