TV program of all time?

We’re talking TV programs in the evening, sit coms or otherwise.

I have to admit that this man is my favorite of all time: Jay North and Dennis the Menace.

Our Common Prayerbook 30 - 3
Psalm 30 thanks God (vv. 1-3, 11-12) and exhorts others to thank God (vv. 4-5). Both emerge from the concrete reality of David's own experience. Here is what that experience looks like:Step one: David was set on high and was flourishing at the hand of God's bounty (v. 7a).Step two: David became too

Theology After Darwin 1 (RJS)
One of the more important and more difficult pieces of the puzzle as we feel our way forward at the interface of science and faith is the theological implications of discoveries in modern science. A comment on my post Evolution in the Key of D: Deity or Deism noted: ...this reminds me of why I get a

Almost Christian 4
Who does well when it comes to passing on the faith to the youth? Studies show two groups do really well: conservative Protestants and Mormons; two groups that don't do well are mainline Protestants and Roman Catholics. Kenda Dean's new book is called Almost Christian: What the Faith of Ou

Let's Get Neanderthal!
The Cave Man Diet, or Paleo Diet, is getting attention. (Nothing is said about Culver's at all.) The big omission, I have to admit, is that those folks were hunters -- using spears or smacking some rabbit upside the conk or grabbing a fish or two with their hands ... but that's what makes this diet

The Andy Griffith Show. I just love those characters. If I could live in any show on TV it would be that one (hey, that might be a great question Scot!).

No question: LOST. It drives me nuts, but it’s suspenseful, intelligent, unpredictable, culturally savvy, and has caused several discussions of faith matters in my house.

I really, really enjoy Good Times. I’ve seen every episode. It’s just such a quality show. It’s hilarious, discusses important social issues of its day, and is just an all-around great show.

Too hard to pick just one:
Ed: an excellent combination of humorous and poignant.
Late Show with David Letterman/Late Night with David Letterman: despite the host’s recent misbehavior, has more laughs per hour than any other show.
Law & Order: Criminal Intent: D’onofrio is brilliantly quirky, and the shows are consistently well-written.
Newhart: the innkeeper show, not the psychiatrist; the best sitcom ever, for what that’s worth.

I’d have to say Mythbusters is up there – good mix of entertainment and actual learning. Of course, half the myths they test could be disproven in five minutes with basic math, but its just that much better when they then spend thousands of dollars to blow stuff up and prove it :)

At present, I enjoy “A Touch of Frost” and “Inspector Morse” most. We Netflix TV series and watch them on DVD.
“Eureka” is quirky fun.
As a kid, Bugs Bunny and Denver Broncos football were some of my favorites.

Of all time?
Tough. Cheers is definitely up there. That’s a show that brings great comfort to me. It really is like visiting old friends when I watch it…
If I had to think of it, like which series would you want if you were stuck on a deserted island… I think it would have to be Cheers

I’m showing my young age here, but I guess I’m tied between Weeds and The Sopranos. For “regular” TV, I would say Seinfeld. Alot of funny situations in life can be tied indirectly to a Seinfeld episode. I was recently in Boston and couldn’t find my car in a parking garage. The mall parking garage episode immediately came to mind.

Being a geek, I would have to say that my favorite of all time so far has been The IT Crowd shown in the UK. This program keeps me rolling every time I watch it.
