TOS is one of my faves, but Twin Peaks is IT as far as I'm concerned.
Good luck with that.
There's a lot of stuff here I have never even heard of, so I am anxious to buy some DVD's to see what some of these are all about.
My second favorite show still hasn't been listed, and I am a bit suprised. Season 1 of Kung Fu absolutely rocks. Really beautiful stuff. Seasons 2 and 3 go way downhill, though. Get the DVD if you haven't seen it in years.

how in hell do you get the time to watch so many shows! I only wish i could watch all those!!!!!!!!
:thumbsup:
Well, most of them, I have on DVD, so I can choose the time to watch them.
For instance, I watched all seven seasons of The West Wing in one week, when I had a vacation.
Last year, during my 3-week yearly vacation, I bought and watched all seasons of Stargate SG1 (except season 10, which wasn't out yet).
The year before, it was all seasons of Buffy and Angel.
Next year, I'm thinking of buying all seasons of Charmed, although something better might come along; I'll decide that next year, when my vacation begins.
Of course, in the weekends, I often have a lot of free time; last week, I bought Stargate SG1 season 10, and by sunday evening I had seen all episodes.
Whenever I buy something new on DVD, only one thing is important to me : is this something I will rewatch in the future? When I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, I buy it.
My all time, hands-down, favorite tv show is The Sopranos followed very closely (so closely it occupies the same space a la the computer simulation in TVH) by The Wire. TOS handed its pinball crown to them ages ago and I doubt they'll be passing it on any time soon. I make time for Mad Men, House, The Daily Show/Colbert Report, and the occasional episode of Dr. Who (I watch very little SF tv, though).
Oh yeah: Tomalak is right about I, Claudius. It's another all-time greatest yadda yadda yadda. A few years ago, I opted to get that rather than Season 1 of TOS on DVD.

Ditto.
I have a whole load of stuff on DVD, and even some old videos. Some of my favourite shows I only saw when first broadcast, and have been living of nostalgia ever since then.
But the big kicker is that I only watch around 4 or 5 hours of broadcast TV a week. Right now I'm watching Heroes, Smallville, QI and I saw the first episode of Jericho the other day. I may click onto a rolling news channel once in a while. But that's it. If I have something on DVD, I won't watch it on TV, so no DS9 for me. And you'd have to torture me before I watch any reality show or soap. Which pretty much rules out 99% of modern schedules.
