    Question Favorite TV Show

    Realizing the great differences in programming from one country to another, it might be cool to get a discussion going about Television shows. There may be similarities, especially when it comes to BBC productions.

    I'll start:
    Ugly Betty - ABC Thursdays
    Grey's Anatomy - ABC Thursdays

    Allo! Allo! - PBS Saturdays (Love the hilarious French policeman)
    Waiting for God - PBS Saturdays (originates from BBC)
    As Time Goes By - PBS Saturdays

    There are more, but this is off the cuff for starters

    I'm not a huge TV watcher and my current only 'must-see' drama is Dr Who: complete bunkum, but well done and hugely enjoyable – just what escapist entertainment should be.

    There are huge amounts of things that I treasure from years gone by – the Victoria Wood sitcom Dinnerladies, I Claudius, Allo, Allo, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and more.

    The US has provided two of my all-time favourite shows in Babylon 5 and West Wing.

    Dr. Who! Dr. Who!

    Of course that's not on Korean TV. Instead we get endless marathons of CSI, interspersed with shows in which random groups of comedians try to eat 50 bowls of Ramen noodles in under 4 minutes.

    Oh, and maybe an occasional Alias.

    Then there is of course the old school series of the 80'es:

    A-Team
    Airwolf
    Night Rider (not THAT good)
    and MacGyver (my favorite!)

    Simon,
    Are the "Simpsons" shows dubbed in Danish? If so, what is the Danish word for "Doh"?

    Gotta love the Simpsons. Great show, and has been for a long time.

    Umm. Just a personal opinion, but I think it's been on too long. My other half loves watching it and some episodes I must have seen a dozen times.

    For my money, Futurama (criminal of Fox to stop commissioning it) and Family Guy are far funnier and sharper.

    Well, no need to watch repeats; they`re still making new ones (from wikipedia) -

    Since its debut on December 17, 1989, the show has aired 395 episodes over 18 seasons, and as of March 20, 2006, it was renewed for a 19th season, due to be aired in 2007–2008. The 18th season finale will be the 400th episode, and 2007 marks the 20th anniversary of The Simpsons franchise. A feature-length film, The Simpsons Movie, is currently being produced, to be released on July 27, 2007.

    Now that`s longevity...

    Wonder if the movie will be any good.

    Never got into Futurama, nor Family Guy; not sure why not.

    Nope, it's just titled. "doh" can't be translated :-)

    I've never seen to much of family guy, so I can't say I know it. But I was under the impression that it's kind of the same as american dad ? Some of my friends told me they are quite similar. Don't know if they were right, I haven't seen it.

    Ahem, I don't know why, but I'm under the impression that you enjoy watching The Simpsons...

    Well, as far as my fav TV shows are concerned, I love Heroes, Medium, House M.D., and Ghost Whisperer. No Italian show on my list, alas.

    favorite tv show

    Yes! I will have to say that Star Trek is my favorite of tv shows. Since I
    was in the first grade when it came on to the Deep Space Nine shows,
    Star trek was my favorite with Spock and Captain Kirk to Jean Luke Piccard.
    The music on there improved with each different segment of the show.
    I liked watching it with popcorn. Even some of the movies were good.
