TOS Fans - Your favorite non-Trek TV Series

[Duane]

This post is meant for those who consider TOS to be the best TV series ever made. That said, what is your second favorite series ever made, excluding any other version of Star Trek? Feel free to nominate a certain season of a TV series if it is your favorite, even if other seasons of the same series did not hold up as well.

If your favorite non-Trek series is also sci-fi, I'd also like to know your favorite non sci-fi series.

I just can't get enough of King of the Hill. And I believe The Andy Griffith show was the best thing since sliced bread, but only the Don Knotts years.

I also like
24
LOST
My Name is Earl
The Office
The Venture Brothers is kind of Sci-fi
Friday Night Lights
Medium is on the Sci-fi side too.

The Prisoner.

 

[Tomalak]

I wouldn't call Star Trek the "best TV series ever made", but I do have a lot of affection for it.

I, Claudius is the best TV programme ever!

 

[Mysterion]

TOS is my favorite Trek. Other shows I like:

I'd have to say that Batman: The Animated Series and The Shield are my favorite shows after Star Trek. I also really like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Simpsons, Family Guy and The Adventures of Superman.
