    why do people have some kind of aversion to non fiction. In 11 pages I don't think i've seen anytone list any. Yeah, 'lost' is clearly better than Planet Earth.

    Haven't given this nearly as much thought as I should've really so I've probably overlooked a host of classics and been too heavily influenced by nostalgia but.. off the top of my head..

    Drama:

    • 24
    • Lost
    • Bugs
    • X Files
    • Sharpe


    Comedy:

    • Spaced
    • Blackadder
    • Alan Partridge
    • The Mighty Boosh
    • Flight of the Conchords
    Oh my god I love all of these!! Especially the mighty boosh, alan partridge and flight of the conchords

    I have to say first of all, only comedies are in for contention, as theyre the only tv series I could easily watch over and over and over and over... and still not get bored. So don't shoot me down if I'm missing out some obvious dramas or whatever

    1. Friends
    2. Inbetweeners
    3. Blackadder
    4. Only Fools and Horses
    5. Family Guy

    How I Met Your Mother, Gavin and Stacey, Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Two and a Half Men all could easily have made any top five as well but something had to give way right :/

    This is a great series, very much looking forward to the third series, if it continues until the end of the story (of the same standard) then I think it deserves maybe 1. position, but not just yet....?
    If it's to the standard of the second half of Season 2, or even Season 1, then it's going to be brilliant. I just hope the writers learnt their lesson from people's opinions of the first half of Season 2. My god, that dragged....
