The Office
The Sopranos
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Moonlighting - "Do bears bare, do bees be?"

ACE

[spynovelfan]

But you didn't watch Extras last night?

I like all of these, but fairly casually (ie haven't seen all episodes or anything).

Larry Sanders was indeed utter genius, though I haven't seen them all.
Seinfeld, of course.
The Office
The Day Today
Alan Partridge - both sorts
Brasseye
Murphy's Law, particularly the second series
Spooks, until Tom left
Second Sight with the chap who should have been Bond 6
Fame Academy - yes, I know, so shoot me, I found it fascinating and was hooked
Miami Vice - pretty good plots, once you get past the fashion
And ER, but only because of Goretex Fishingnet, who's gorgeous

[ACE]

Of course

The Day Today
BrassEye

No, missed Extras. That is good but time is an important quality to any art.
Let Extras ferment and then let's judge. I like it and having recently had some involvement in film, it certainly is accurate in many, many ways.

Fame Academy - well, of all the reality shows, I found this most interesting as you learn stuff behind the scenes of the music industry.

Use to like Miami Vice too - solid plots made by a (over-rated, IMO) film-maker. Time has not been kind to this a la all these shows: The Saint, The Persuaders, The Professionals. Only The Avengers, I think, has stayed fresh.

Never got Seinfeld, the show about nothing.

Missed out Friends - "I said Demi Moore"
Taxi
Cheers
Only Fools And Horses
Minder
The OC - very very funny
Ray Mears is an unsung hero

ACE

Most of my favourite programmes were made over 20 years ago - not that much these days takes my interest. But 'your' Chicago Hope which I never knew existed until this year, as I'm watching the repeats of the repeats and it has gone down as one of the best examples of excellence I've ever seen. So here is my list and in no order and these are only the ones I can remember:


Chicago Hope
X Files
The Avengers
Crossroads (mk1)
Brookside (1st 5 years only - its now axed)

My tastes tend to run more towards offbeat comedies and some really well-done sitcoms...IMHO drama isn't something that works terribly well in television format. But, you know. That's just moi.
