Top 3 (current) TV series

[phil_ivey_fan]

1) Entourage
2) Prison Break
3) Nip Tuck
4) Lost*
5) Dirty Jobs

I'm awaiting the 30days series done by the guy who did "SuperSize"... the documentary about living off McDonalds for 30 days.



* kinda on the fence about Lost. I watched the whole first season in the span of about a week thanks to binary newsgroups. I am having a hard time getting into the second season...






















smallville has become gayyyyyyyyyyy

[flatline]

1. Lost
2. Rome
3. Prison Break

[swede123]

Why would you name the subject "Top 3 TV Series" and then list your top five. I know, no relevance on the discussion at hand, it just struck me as odd.

My top three:

1) House, M.D.
2) American Chopper (I guess)
3) I don't really watch anything else with any frequency whatsoever.

Swede

[WillMagic]

1) Extras
2) Rome
3) Lost (would be higher, but the first two episodes of this season have been lacking IMO.)

[daveymck]

Hows the second season of Battlestar Galactica going? We havent got it yet.

[mmbt0ne]

House
Entourage
L&O

[cadillac1234]

Amazing Race Family Edition...

Best 2 hours I've watched on TV since Carnviale and Deadwood were back-to-back.

A major scrub or complete dysfunctional family breakdown at least every ten minutes.

[AZK]

by current do you mean on tv right now, like fall 2005, or tv series this year?

1) 24
2) alias

Anyone start watching kitchen confidential? My Tivo snagged it and it's not bad.

Also, let's not get carried away with entourage, I enjoy it, but it's the same friggin 30 minutes every episode. Hot girls, drinking, smoking, a party. I watched the whole first season in one night and it felt like one 2 hour episode.

[MINETZ]

1. wsop
2. wpt
3. late night poker

[NLSoldier]

1)Lost

Nothing else is worth watching. Although I admit I have not seen prison break but it looks good.

[AZK]

Also, bones is eh, e-ring is less than eh.

[jonoo]

1)Nip/Tuck
2)Nip/Tuck
3)WSOP

[steelcmg]

1. House
2. 24
3. Simpsons and family guy
These are the only shows on tv that i watch

yeah...my bad, first got the idea for top 3, then wanted to include the last two but forgot to change title.

UPDATE:

current as in showing right now. (i like 24 as well)

I think the first 2 seasons of Lost have been weak as well. But its pretty much still on my list because of how much I liked the first season.

poker doesn't count... this is OOT, go blow your poker-load elsewhere

I tried watching an episode of ROME, but it didn't appeal to me.

I'm surprised no one mentioned CSI. I've watched a couple episodes but failed to get in on the ground floor. I find it semi interesting and semi bullshit.

[MightyMouse]

1) 24- this is not even close. by far the best show on television and its not arguable.

2) Curb Your Enthusiasm- So funny. Larry David = Genius.

3) arrested development- i could see how if you werent smart and didnt appreciate non slapstick humor how this would bore you. but its very funny IMO.

3)

[peachy]

Lost
Rome

the only 2 things i watch....thank god ROME is only gonna last for 12 episodes i cant stand watching TV

[pokerdirty]

1. Arrested Development
2. American Dad
3. Prison Break (i've only seen the first 3 episodes though)

[Tron]

1. Entourage
2. My Super Sweet 16
3. Arrested Development

[captZEEbo1]

curb your enthusiasm and arrested development, followed by...desperate housewives!

dam I can't believe I left this one out...

[BottlesOf]

Ok top 3:

1. LOST
2. Rome
3. this is up in the air.... I would put the Wire up top, but season 4 doesn't premiere until '06. So I'll go with "The Daily Show"

I like Invasion, and have heard great things about Nip/Tuck and Prison Break. I think serious consideration can be given to "The Soup" on E!

I cannot believe Battlestar Galactica gets no props on this board. Must not be popular with the college/recent grad crowd. It is easily #1, #2 is Curb. I also find the Amazing Race entertaining, so that will be #3. I will state that I have never seen Lost.

[bravos1]

1. House
2. Prison Break
3. Criminal Minds
4. CSI

I was scrolling down and noticed BG wasn't mentioned either. Too bad since it's a great show.

1. Lost
2. Battlestar Galatica

Great show, but 1)it does not qualify for this list, and 2)to say there is nothing that approaches it is pure ignorance.

[SoCalRugger]

1. The Shield
2. Entourage
3. Lost

The list might change once I get around to downloading Prison Break.

[jwp]

1) Arrested Development
2) Lost
3) ???

[M2d]

Las Vegas
House
Sportscenter

[uw_madtown]

Lost
Scrubs
South Park

Alias was, until season 3.
Family Guy was very meh early in this season and I stopped watching until DVD.
Have yet to check out Arrested Development or Curb, so they might make the list when I get around to them.

What are your thoughts on the current season? It needs more Stephen & LC, IMO.

I saw the trailer for next week and it looks like it should deliver.

How did Stephen so quickly go from being The Man to being a Little Bitch. So sad.

[TheHip41]

Law and Order
Family Guy

[Rick Diesel]

The correct answer is clearly:

1. Entourage
2. Lost
3. Nip/Tuck

[Thythe]

House is the only show I watch with regularity

[whiskeytown]

Deadwood, Battlestar Galactica and Weeds - I like the stuff on the cable networks -

it's not bad, but the moment I realized every character was named after a classic novel character (or wine) it kinda went sour for me. It's also very enamoured with itself...kinda smarmy

The problem with Battlestar is that it's on Friday nights. I like the show, but am never home to watch it.

I gotta thank you . . . I was looking around HBO On Demand tonight, recognized "Extras" from this thread, and decided to check it out. I can't believe I hadn't heard of this! Gotta love Ricky Gervais, laughed my ass off . . .

This is easily the most underrated show on TV.

[Shajen]

24 (I'm waiting for netflix to bring me season 4)
Rescue Me (every episode is a trainwreck)
Lost (Been there since the start)

Followed closely by House and Alias.

Tivo is a wonderful thing.

2. OC
3. anything else

[2planka]

Battlestar Galactica
Everything else.

[CrazyPsycho]

Extras will probably bump The Office before long.

[peachy]

[ptmusic]

1. West Wing
2. Lost
3. Survivor (although some weeks Apprentice is better; I watch 'em back to back on Thursdays)

-ptmusic

Honorable mention: Sopranos if they ever return.
