Sport, football, rugby league and cricket are my favourites

Most things on the national geographic channel

But to be honest I like most things on the telly apart from crappy soap operas and even more crappier reality TV.

M.A.S.H when I was in elementary and middle school they used to air reruns every afternoon after school and I loved hearing the title song and the show was also very good I liked the humor
of it.

Currently I do not watch much TV too many other useful/interesting things I could be doing instead.

My all-time favorite sitcom is Cheers. I also enjoy watching The Odd Couple reruns on ME. For current sitcoms, I watch Modern Family regularly and admit to having the American version of The Office as a guilty pleasure. Yes, I know that it isn't like the British series that it was based on, but I think it is good.

I don't watch any of the hour dramas, as I think that the primetime drama has become, as a form, kind of lame. To me, the last series that was interesting was NYPD Blue back in the 90's, although I did enjoy Boston Legal as well. That was good stuff.

I forgot to mention Top Gear(BBC) and I also watched the Sopranos and the Wire I also like Treme.Of course the premium cable channel series do not seem as much like TV to me and I usually do not get around to watching until they are on DVD/BluRay and then over a long time span.

I have had a lot of favorites over the years. There are miniseries and movies I watch every year, especially ones involving history. TV series I truly love are few and far between, so I have to divide them up by category.

The ones I take out and watch at least once per year:

Babylon 5
Firefly
Dexter

Ones I like but don't watch as often:
Sons of Anarchy
Lois & Clark
Smallville

Ones I'm in the process of rewatching just once:
Stargate SG-1
Mission: Impossible

And I watch an episode of Doctor Who every day with breakfast.

Original Twilight Zone or the eighties series? The Original was better but the "new" series had some good ones like "A Little Peace and Quiet". My favorite episode from the original series is "Time Enough at Last".

Hogans Heroes

:D :D :D :D :D :D I LOVE THAT SHOW! I got all 6 seasons plus some bonus content for 50-60$ and I do not regret that purchase.

I love Hogan's Heroes, The (American) Office, Sons of Guns, Duck Dynasty, anything on the military channel (Specifically...Weaponology), The Real Husbands of Hollywood, Saturday Night Live...

I think I hit most of the big ones... I watch quite a bit of TV in my free time. Some of those I don't keep up with all the time.

Yeah the Military Channel watch that for a week and you wont miss anything new for at least a year.That channel has such potential but wastes it.

They start an interesting series and then after one or two seasons they stop.Weaponogly is a great example they only did one or two seasons.

"Greatest Tank Battles" is pretty well done I hope they keep that one going i liked the one about the IDF tankers the most the guy that was at "Chinese Farm" during the Yom Kippor War they had a handful of Centurions left and kicked Syria's face in proof that you should never give up under any conditions.

The one Israeli former tank commander i loved what he said in that episode when he ordered the gunner to fire he could not see the T-62 because it was so close and the commander kicked the gunner in the head and he fired killing the T-62. The man laughed and said "That day I discover why the gunners head was at the commanders feet."

And I watch an episode of Doctor Who every day with breakfast.

I used to as well, on weekends, but then I ran out of episodes, seeing as I've only got time to watch one or two classic episodes, and I've only got The Rescue, The Tomb of the Cybermen, The Invasion, The War Games (I only watch this in the holidays) Genesis of the Daleks, Revenge of the Cybermen, Earthshock, The Five Doctors (again, just for holidays) Attack of the Cybermen (all my immediate family hates this one) Remembrance of the Daleks, Silver Nemesis and the movie.

I forgot to mention "IT Crowd". I love the "FireFly" and "BSG" series of course! Otherwise, any documentary on history usually ropes me in, and the "How the Universe Works" series as well. :yep:

Watching this right now on Pick TV and so glad it's back on. Years ago it was on CH4 here but the sods pulled the plug about two seasons before the end so I'm looking forward to seeing how it finally ends.

Here's some of mine:

Da Vinci's Inquest: This is a great series I only got into a couple years ago about the coroners office in Vancouver. Ran for 7 tears plus one more year for Da Vinci's City Hall. One of the best TV dramas out there in my opinion.
