I believe the best show is 24 any other opinions? Please no movies.

If by best you mean most predictable, I'd agree.

It's a hard pick.  Scrubs is pretty good, but Modern Marvels is pretty awesome too...

Heroes
House
CSI M/L/NY
Criminal Minds

Smallville
The Office
Scrubs
Monk

Television needs to die. It's for lazy people who don't want to bother thinking. When I don't want to think, I go on a walk. If everyone did that, we wouldn't have this "overweight country" problem. People are stupid.
But Lost still owns.

The same way that people and holidays suck, that children aren't human, and letting a coder instantaniate variables that aren't going to be used, right?



Television is for entertainment. You are a failure. That is all

One of the rare moments in which I fully agree with topaz? Yes.

instantaniate isn't a word. Children are human, fetuses are parasites. Everything else is pretty much right. Btw, by your reasoning, Dim shouldn't exist either, because you can dimension variables and then not use them.

Guess I made that one up, huhu. You were pretty clear about how children (fetuses included) are parasites. There is no "by my reasoning" -- the coder, in this case, unintentionally creates a variable by misspelling another one. What kind of retard comes up with that? It's pretty close to being as bad as OEGN

Carpocalypse!

you're assuming that programmers will make mistakes and not notice them. Can we keep that argument out of this topic, though?

Anyway, some other shows I see occasionally that don't make me want to projectile vomit include House, Monk, and Agatha Christie's Poirot.

But they do -- take Tazo, for one. Look at the topic in the VB6 forum for more details

TV is for entertainment, as well as a source of information (note I'm not suggesting always accurate, or unbiased). You don't see people in Japan getting fat, and I'm sure they have plenty of televisions to go round. Walking is boring, not many people would rather walk than enjoy watching television.

[EDIT] As for TV shows, I don't really watch television, at all. Though, when I do I'd say Scrubs and Prison Break would be the best.

Yea heroes and House are also very good shows.

The new season of Rome is great so far. Mythbusters too :)

Yea myth busters is a very good show as well. But my favorite 5  shows would be............

#House
#24
#NCIS
#Heroes
#Criminal Minds

I'm surprised 24 is mentioned so much. I enjoyed watching the first 3 seasons, but from then on it seemed to become very predictable, even the twists become to obvious before they reached the stage where the surprise people with it, but by then we've already figured it out. :-\ Is the new series any better? I haven't watched the first episode, but I can always torrent if worth it.

Yea it is becoming more predictable but still great acting. And yea i to missed the first episode  >:( I got to download it as well :(

I haven't been watching Rome, though I should be.

Also, Metalocalypse.

24
Heroes
Top Gear
Hustle
The Daily Show
The Colbert Report
Family Guy
American Dad
Desperate Housewives (Guilty pleasure...)

I don't care what anyone says, Lost is still great.

[/quote]I like some of the same shows as you:
South Park
Simpsons
Family Guy
Futurama
Chappelle's Show
Scrubs
And pretty much any good stand up comedy.

The only show I've really followed over the years is South Park. But I do occasionally download some humor shows:

The Colbert Report - My current favorite actually.
The Daily Show WithOUT Jon Stewart (i.e. most 'correspondents' (Lewis Black, Steve Carell, John Oliver...) are good but he gets on my nerves a little  ;D)

And I have to admit to compulsively watching Lost. It's stretched too long with too much of a reality show aftertaste, but I love psychological experimentation stuff and it's always fun to theorize what they are they are leading the rats to now, what they want them to think and what the goal of the experimentations are. Some episodes are really well written, but you do need to get into the mindset to be able to resort to suspension of disbelief at times... the storyline certainly ain't perfect.

Other than that I do enjoy the Mythbusters when I catch them. Funny and informative / insightful ('edutainment' if you will) is the kind of video I like. I also watch documentaries, but mostly nature, astronomy and history stuff where image is important. For real info or more engaging entertainment I look elsewhere...

P.S.: If you think taking a walk is boring and always need others to entertain you, you have no imagination.

Smallville
Heroes
Battlestar Galactica
