Best TV Show this Decade

[scifisam]

Really?!

It makes me laugh out loud several times each week, and I couldn't think of many other comedies.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

whats the first one you, personally, thought of?

first show in my head was eva but i knew that was 97 so i though about other gainax stuff and i knew that flcl was a safe bet so i picked that, but thats more about popular choice that best or not

i mean although flcl was spectacular mahoro may be more infulencial in the long run ...

 

[scifisam]

Hmm - I thought Black Books was older. I'll go for that then, comedy-wise.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I've never seen Black Books.

 

[isitme]

[PacificOcean]

Weeds
Lost
Shameless (gone a bit bobbins now, but still the best British thing on TV).

Season 7 of 24 is back up there after the abortion that was S6...seriously, you should check it out.

Definitely

League of Gents just feels so 90s to me, what with the radio show starting in '95 and shit, and for some reason I thought the telly show started in '97, maybe that was Partridge (I'm Alan not KMKY).

Oh well.

 

[Jon-of-arc]

It is amazing - by the start of series 2 it gets so good it is as close to genius as a sitcom can be.

$5,000 dollar suit, COME ON!!!!

Having trouble choosing a drama, but for comedy there's no competition ...

Green Wing

Bingo!

Also:

The Wire (doesn't need the 'decade' distinction, imo)

Shameless

Summer Heights High

Seasons 1&2 of Six feet Under

and of course Strictly come dancing

(and SCDITT)

 

[danny la rouge]

I've never seen Black Books.

I liked it, but it was more clever than actually funny.

Nonsense, it could be absolutely hilarious. I was rolling on the floor to 'clownercise'

 

[ch750536]

desperate housewives

ADev had me in tears. Only the US Office has come close.

Tobias Funke and the slapstick moments every now and then...oh my

 

[Audrey Horne]

For me it would be Carnivale.

Summer Heights is second though

 

[toblerone3]
