In no order:

• Buffy, seasons 2-4
• Angel, seasons 2-3
• The Avengers, 65-67
• Simpsons, seasons 3-4
• Hill Street Blues, until Esterhaus died
• Monty Python
• Doctor Who, this past season

And L.Q. Jones is just a yellow-bellied redneck peckerwood, anyway.

Yeah, but COFFERNTC4EVA!!!!

On a serious note, I agree with all of your list I'm familiar with (including the specific Buffy seasons, though I prefer Angel 2 to 4). I'd have to have Monty Python's Flying Circus in there somewhere, since you aren't excluding British shows. Probably at least one of the Futurama seasons, if not more, and also I'd have to have Firefly despite the premature demise. Oh, and Farscape 2 and 3, not to mention DS9 somewhere.

Damn, and Twin Peaks despite the wheels coming off.

Let's see some more lists.

• Prime Suspect 1
  
• Sopranos
  
• Pee Wee's Playhouse
  
• Mary Tyler Moore Show
  
• Buffy S1-4
  
• Fawlty Towers
  
• Monty Python's Flying Circus
  
• Northern Exposure (first 3 or 4 seasons)
  
• Simpsons (S2-5)
  
• Freaks and Geeks
  
• Firefly
  
• Singing Detective (as I've noted ad nauseum, I saw the whole thing originally in a movie theater).

I'm only through the first box set of Homicide so I don't feel qualified to rank it yet. Still haven't seen The Wire or Deadwood, though I'll get to it. I'm waffling on Wonderfalls. It's a very strong 13 ep run, but in some ways I prefer Dead Like Me, even though it's less consistent. Angel S2 probably belongs on the list, but to be honest I'm a much bigger Buffy and Firefly fan. Also, I think Angel had incredibly inconsistent seasons and only in S2 did it really have an unqualified run of greatness.

Hill Street Blues, until Esterhaus died

Ooh, good call.

Also I need...

• Farscape S1-3 (plus mini) on the list.

Probably at least one of the Futurama seasons

Damn, and Twin Peaks despite the wheels coming off.

Shit! Yeah, Futurama and Twin Peaks would rank for me.

Tina's favorite TV shows not in order:

• Buffy
• Angel (all seasons except four)
• Firefly
• The Sopranos
• Rescue Me
• Freaks and Geeks
• Kids in the Hall
• Veronica Mars
• Moonlighting

• MOST of the FIRST and SECOND season of The West Wing
• Battlestar Galactica (original series - I haven't seen the new one)

on edit: Oh I forgot Peewee's Playhouse and the Muppet Show!!

This is the music thread, right?

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Sports Night.

Yeah, so did I, though my Peewee watching was spotty at best.

TV lists are the new haiku.

We don't have a generic TV thread (yet). Besides, almost all of those shows had music.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Sports Night.

'Cuz Dana and Perkins don't hang out here very often. Shrift might be by, though.

I loved Sports Night but Aaron Sorkin used the same schtick over and over - I think SorkinEra!West Wing is actually a better show but it suffered the same fate.

t /has Sorkin issues

So did WKRP in Cincinnati, one of my favorites.
