The Simpsons.
I grew up at a time when it was the only good show on TV. Now I know 10 seasons of it by rote.
Probably Deadwood.
I like the complexity of the characters - nobody’s truly good, nobody’s truly bad.
I like the how some of the experiences in the show are so universal and some are so peculiar to that time and place.
The performances are all incredible.
I was completely taken with it and still am.
The Wire and M*A*S*H
The Prisoner.
Can't think of another show that made me think so hard.
Connections [non-fiction]
Another show that expects you to bring your brain with you.
This covers a few different genres:
As with movies, foods, music, etc. my "favorites" always shift around depending on my mood, but just now off the top of my head:
Star Trek.
After reading all the replies, I'm just here to add:
And a global mention to 90's and 00's Sci-Fi !
Cowboy Bebop (the animated ver) - Just absolute cinema the whole time. Never watched the live action, probably never will. Soundtrack goes so hard and the voice acting in both English and Japanese are unparalleled imo. Such an imaginative and realistic depiction of the future, especially for the time. Thanks a million to Adult Swim for introducing me to my fav show of all time.
I really liked the live action Cowboy Bebop. But then, I never watch the anime. Then again, I don't mind remakes and format changes, so long as it is still well made.
Scrubs, the good place, star trek tng/ds9, doctor who, torchwood
In addition to the shows you mention I'm really enjoying Silo right now, and found A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and Severance to be really interesting.
Mr. Robot. I’m super into the sometimes cheesy “fuck society” mentality. And everything that happens in that show either could or has already happened in reality.
Tough call. Absolutely depends on mood but right now I’d say Bojack Horseman. One of the few shows that got better all way through and ended at exactly the right time.
Better call Saul / Breaking bad
The Good Place / Parks and Recreation
Scrubs / Malcom in the middle
ATLA is the GOAT.
Firefly - I'm not into it, but my wife fucking loves it. She had a Firefly wedding, like all themed and stuff. Which I don't understand but whatever.
That's wild. So you don't particularly care for the show, but it was presumably the theme for your wedding as well? Or was this a previous marriage?
Not my wedding, haha. Her previous wedding. Our wedding together was conducted by a gay pastor in a park.
So... funny story. Before I ever watched frieren, I bought a T-shirt about that series in Akihabara. Then when we got home we watched the first season and I regretted not buying several amazing figures from the series while I was there.
BBC's Pride and Prejudice (1995)
Dark
Schitt's Creek
I like you. I have a very different list but I appreciate yours.
DARK.
For rewatchability maybe: Always sunny and scrubs But for favourite of all time that's a hard question and I think it changes all the time
I'm no particular order:
Dramas:
Comedies:
Arrested Development
Veep
Silicon Valley
Schitt's Creek
Regularly on in the background:
The Good Place had no business being as good as it was.
Fork yeah!
This. This is a rock solid list, dude.
Babylon 5 — just the perfect scifi show for me with a five-season story arc that was planned from the beginning.
Others: Farscape, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Dark, The West Wing, Community, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power
Firefly/Stargate/expanse
Futureman.
This one caught me by surprise but I was hooked on the raunchy humor and the character development. Damn what a wild ride.
Always Farscape.
wow. did a ctrl-f and firefly did not come up. Normally I find the first person to say firefly and reply to it. guess im that guy today. anyway. yeah. im one of those firefly folks. firefly for tv and lotr for movies.
Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Rewatching this for the nth time right now.
Veep
Now that's a name I've not heard for a loooong time. Great show!
Hard to choose but probably scrubs. I feel like they're hard to compare, like there should be one per category.
