What is your favorite television show of all time?

For me, it's Monk. With award winning actor Tony Shalhoub and award winning theme songs, including "It's A Jungle Out There" by Randy Newman, you can't go wrong with the obsessive compulsive detective.

I use to like Star Trek the Original series better than NG but after I watched more and more of it, I like them about equally now. Why did Data have to die in Nemesis?
I love Wipeout too. The videogame is even good. Minute to Win It is another of that type of show that I like to watch.

M*A*S*H* is a good show too but I've only watched a few episodes so its really not one of my favorite shows.

We only get the antena channels with the digital converter box so most of the shows I watch a lot are older ones. I like Dick Van Dyke too, but I also watch the Bob Newhart Show, Mary Tyler Moore, The Odd Couple, M*A*S*H*, Hogan's Heroes Guilligan's Island, Taxi, and other good oldies. We own some episodes of the Carol Burnett Show on VHS. I wouldn't say they are my favorite but I like them all. The only bad thing is there's not really anyone who you can talk to at school about the shows.

All time, huh? Being too much of a cheapskate to pay for cable and living in a fringe area, I haven't been a big TV watcher in a good while. With the digital conversion, the big networks are pretty much out of the picture except in winter (something to do with moisture in the air I think). So in the dozen or so times since that I've had the TV on, Ion and some other "rerun" stations have been the main entrees on the menu. (I live much more in Radio land - exclusively at the bottom end of the FM range, public radio.)

Of course, this is the 21st century so I have seen many of the shows mentioned. I love Monk (reruns) and was totally frustrated by the producers of Lost (online) but hooked anyway. Survivor remained a "must see" though I missed the entire last season and haven't seen any of the current one.

Dramas are great but comedy is the spice of life. As a body of work, nothing in the sitcom world beats The Dick Van Dyke Show. For the semi-defunct comedy/variety show genre, I would give a tie to the short-lived Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour and the long running Carol Burnett Show.

We actually just got the M*A*S*H the complete series in the mail today. My brother is a bigger fan than I and my dad found it for a good price online.

In the episode in the series Data thinks that he is going to die and he is happy to know that he will actually die rather than life longer than all of his friends. He doesn't die in that episode but this is sort of a satisfying ending for him (even though I don't like it). He dies to save the entire Enterprise and it's crew. But there is a little suprise at the end (may not exactly be the end of "Data" persay.

I've never been able to see it, but some of my friends at school love Doctor Who and I really want to see some of it. From what I've read about it, it sounds very interesting.

My math teacher loves that show and it sounds very funny especially if you can understand all of the smart jokes like feferences to Flatland!
