The interesting thing with this thread is the diversity of taste that is represented...bottom line is that if you enjoy a show, that's all that is important.
I just finished watching Forever Knight....as you can tell by my list, I loved it! I saw a few episodes in the early 90's when it was on CBS latenight but it is so much better watching the DVD's, the plots are sometimes a bit loose, some continuity problems but those are over-shadowed by the rich characters and the darkness of the show...not for everyone, some episodes are disturbing but they are thought-provoking. The main character (Nick Knight) is only my third favorite character, normally that would be a problem but not in this case...Nigel Bennett is supurb as the dark master, Lacroix and Deborah Duchene absolutely stole my heart as Janette. If I have any complaints, aside from the somewhat unsatisfying ending, it would be that Janette is only in one episode in season three....if that character was actually real, I would volunteer to be her slave, I think she is one of the best fictional characters ever to appear on TV. The flashbacks make the show and it is unique in that it is primarily a "cop show" aside from the vampire element!

Here is one where people will have mixed feelings about, I love it and so does most my family, but one of my best friends thinks its terrible and so does his family.

Everybody Loves Raymond

I think it is brilliant!

1. Gilmore Girls
2. Boston Legal
3. Buffy
4. Angel
5. Veronica Mars
6. Friends
7. The Cosby Show
8. Charmed
9. Brothers and Sisters
10. Dark Angel

My personal top 10. Sorry Somer, but Buffy is #3 for me, but it and Angel did make my list! Gilmore Girls and Boston Legal are the only tv shows that I have ALL the seasons on DVD and watch them over and over. Boston Legal never gets tiresome.

Hey, Buffy, Angel, VM, Dark Angel, Charmed...half my list! Have you ever seen Forever Knight....if not you should try it! It really is disturbing and I like that! Vastly underrated show...sure, it's not Joss and suffers in comparison but still a wonderful show!

ok, but please tell me that Seinfeld had the ability to do that for you, cause that might be the best of all time.

Again, the diversity of opinion...I never really cared for that show (Seinfeld), I do like Everybody Loves Raymond. Comedy shows just don't do it for me, I love comedy but prefer it in the context of storytelling. When I turn off the TV and spend several hours thinking about an episode of a show, debating the moral complexities, allowing my mind to wander into the dark and back to the light...then I feel I've watched something worthwhile. I just watched the next to last episode of Forever Knight and now I wonder, what would have been my decision if faced with the choice Lacroix had almost 2000 years ago? Would I have killed my own daughter or....???
