Do you like TV series?

There are some threads about favourite books, music etc. I found no threads about TV *series*. I'm not talking about movies. Personally I don't watch that much TV. There are only two series I really love. Knight Rider (as you can see from my avatar) and Dr. House (House MD).I love Knight Rider because I like the concept of the series. (Today still) quite an innovative car that has some kind of intelligence and the leitmotif that "one man can change the world", of cause that is some kind of dream.House rocks because of his cool sort of sarcasm and humour. Sometimes I really cannot stop laughing about that.So what series do you enjoy?

 

[hamenaglar]

I love House too. It's absolutely the best series ever for me. I enjoy every single episode and watched all of them several times. When I grow up I'm gonna be Gregory House (too bad I'm all grown up already)

Well, the only TV is watch is on Saturdays, in the evening.Currently I am watching The Red Green Show, Red Dwarf (Brilliant!) and Doctor Who (the ninth, Cristhoper Ecclestone, though I'd liek toget my hands on the seasons of the first to eight doctor too ;D ).When I can find it, I love to waste time watching Monty Pyhtons Flying Circuis 8)

 

[myatomicgard3n]

where can i get a hold of the british version of the office? i havent been able to find it

 

[d_ahura]

Any DVD speciality store worth its name should be able to get it. Or else through Amazon. Especially the complete collection including the special.Other great series that I managed to forget first two tries. The brilliant ReGenesis, Hex, Lexx, Witchblade and The Dresden Files. ReGenesis is still ongoing I think. Hex, Lexx, Witchblade and Dresden were cancelled unfortunately./Dan

 

[TheSilver]

The Dresden Files? Hmm, I recall a friedn of mine reading a book about a Harry (??) Dresden, some sort of modern day wizard, of I recall correctly. Is it the same? ???

 

[d_ahura]

Yep, The Dresden Files is a decent translation of the adventures of Harry Dresden. A few die hard purists might not like some of the changes. Much like some FOTR conservatives. But most people seem OK with the changes./Dan

 

[TheSilver]

Ahh, okay.Thank you D_ahura

Seven hours of adventure, romance and sometimes hysterical whimsy.Old movie serials:Weissmüller and Crabbe as TarzanCrabbe as Flash GordonAdventures of Captain Marvel. Amazingly good superhero adventure from 41/Dan

 

[ToastMan]

Currently the only two major shows that I follow are Heroes and Dexter. Dexter being one of the best TV shows I've seen to date. I also follow Lost, though I'm really starting to lose interest fast. It's being dragged like hell.

And looking forward to Sanctuary http://www.scifi.com/sfw/interviews/sfw19557.html coming up this week.

I was also intrigued by it and I watched the first double episode today and was greatly disappointed. It was way too cheesy for me to bare.Acting was decent at best and the plot seemed rather unoriginal. I couldn't bring myself to watch it all the way through, mind you. I stopped watching at like 60% in.

 

[hawkmoon2007]

I like old series like The PrisonerI like too Star trek Next Generation, Stargate, Babylon 5, Eureka, Battlestar Galactica, The Twilight Zone, Total Recall 2070 (only one season made, it's a shame)

 

[d_ahura]

Anyone liking Dexter on TV should read the Dexter books. Storylines diverge quickly from second season. The book series go a tad cosmic/occult later and remind me a bit of the Repairman Jack book series. Anyone liking Total Recall 2070 (that would include me) have a good chance appreciating the Tek War series./Dan
