Friends, The Vampire Diaries, One Tree Hill, Grey's Anatomy are amongst mine. I can't choose a fifth.

For me, there's a clear number 1, Community.

It's an absolutely fantastic show, the funniest ensemble comedy I've ever seen that incorporates some real emotional scenes beautifully. Seriously, if you've never seen it look the show up, the first season starts off a little slow since it's a very character driven show, but after a few episodes you'll be hooked.

Others which I considered and would shortly follow on a slightly longer list; Only Fools and Horses, Blackadder, The IT Crowd, Minder, Fawlty Towers, Ashes to Ashes.

You people all really need to watch The Sopranos. Seriousy, it lives up to the hype - it is indisputably the greatest TV series of all time.

Personally I think:

1. The Sopranos
2. Game of Thrones (even though not as good as books)
3. Mad Men
4. Inbetweeners
5. Futurama

I'm sure there are other great ones, but these are based on the ones I've seen.

Am I the only person who always thought Friends is boring as ****? :s-smilie:

Dexter
House
Big Bang Theory because it's the only comedy I actually find funny/bearable
Skins
Sex and the City

There are loads of others, and lots that I want to get into, too.

Breaking Bad
Dexter
Chuck
Sherlock
Arrested Development

In no particular order, and keeping in mind that I have not seen greats such as The Wire, The Sopranos, The Shield, Game of Thrones, and more, of course.
