So I'm just going to put my 5 favourites,

1 24
2 The Wire
3 Breaking Bad
4 The Sopranos

I would say Dexter, but the first season of Homeland was so good that Ill stick that in fifth


such a shame it took 8 posts before someone posted a decent list. I pretty much agree with your list but I've been watching game of thrones and I would add it to that list just not sure where.
Lost
Fonejacker
Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares USA
Dragons' Den
The Apprentice

Well of course you think that if you primarily watch Desperate Housewives and Family Guy (and, to a lesser extent, Friends)


please spoiler your sig cos i almost died of cuteness
Sherlock
Doctor Who
The big bang theory/ Scrubs
Glee
Chuck
(Lost and Once upon a time also almost made it on to the list. Although once upon a time is relatively new, but it is very good so far despite not having finished its first season yet).

I forgot merlin and Torchwood as well. I'm not quite sure which would be my top five now.

Wtf is it with The Office? Am I genuinely the only person alive who thinks that Ricky Gervais writes the biggest piles of dross ever?

No Order;

Life On Mars/Ashes to Ashes
Luther
Hustle
Lie to Me
House

But there are so many good ones, that list would change depending on my mood.

if it was about a singles series...

1. First Series of Prison Break
2. First Series of Luther
3. First Series of Life on Mars (2 and 3 easily interchangeable)
4. Torchwood - Children of Earth
5. First Series of Mad Dogs

But I regret not being able to put Hotel Babylon up there or Spooks, Scrubs, Eli Stone... possibly Black Books (but doubtful)... Doctor Who... and undoubtedly more. :P

Edit: SHERLOCK! How could I have forgotten that?! Definitely Sherlock somewhere!
