Gilmore Girls!

Talking Heads

In my opinion I'd have to say

Gilmore Girls Basically because of their references to novels, films etc. The charachters and their connection and the little town Stars Hollow. I just really love the story. If ya want to neg me go right ahead cuz I'm not gonna change my opinion :wink:

How I Met Yout Mother same reason as most of the other posts, witty and love the flashback theme :yep:

Supernatural One of the best series ever! It is incredible and Eric Kripke is amazing for developing a five year plan and that is why I am only counting the 5 first seasons. The way they are told, Sam and Dean the new charachters that come into the picture like Bobby and Castiel. The brotherly love they share that is realistic and that I can relate to comparing it with me and my sister. Now that I am watching it all over again through season 1 you notice little things they say that you know is gonna happen in season 2 and even in season 5, it is simply amazing how they do that! So yeah Eric Kripke, Robert Singer and the rest of the crew behind the camera are awesome! Jared Padalecki and Jensen Aackles who made the charachters for what they are and even though they can be a bit posey they are great! Yeah I could keep rambling on but those are a few of the great things :smile:

Then I love a lot of other shows, but these three are my absolute favorites :biggrin:

I think The Middle deserves some recognition.
The character, Axl, is every teenage boy.

And Modern Family just because it's so funny!

What some of you guys think of as 'intelligent' or well written is pretty ****ing entertaining.

That The Wire only turned up like, what, once on the first page is just lulsy.

And Deadwood, as the wench above said.

In your opinion - what show do you have in mind for having outstanding dialogue either in a comedic/comic sense, it's generally really funny, creative, referential and intelligent in its' writing and jokes (for Sitcoms for example) or in just the way that it's written in a dramatic sense

As a drama you think it's got realistic dialogue, making believable and real characters with great rapport / banter, as well as making for great dramatic scenes / drama in general

Great thread :thumbsup:

Mr Bean.

Sherlock
Doctor Who :tongue:

It has to be Mad Men or The Sopranos.

Both are flawlessly written, brilliantly acted and all-round top, top shows.

Deadwood.
I don't think as many people know of it as should.
I'm not an expert on the Old West or anything, but it seems to be pretty historically accurate for a regular TV show - it's not over-done. It's also complicated with loads of people vying for power, the characters are complicated and they are all multi dimensional (not just "good guys" and "bad guys" - they are all good and bad, as real people are, especially when you put them in tough situations) and it deals with a lot of issues.
Also, busty hookers all over the place.

this limber-dicked cock-sucker has it aright.

The West Wing :cool:

Definitely agree with Arrested Development.

Other shows are:

Firefly (so well written/acted/made) and Pushing Daisies (cutest show ever, really original and clever)

I'd like to add The Good Wife and Breaking Bad
Lost, believable, really? :confused:

slightly out of context, I'd say it is yeah, the dialogue, character reactions / backstories in full make for believable realistic people in an unbelievable, surreal situation - you'd need to watch a few seasons to really see enough about the characters and empathise with them as realistic people though

Not exactly saying that Smoke that can grab people and cause physical damage is realistic, but you get my point I hope :cool:

Game of Thrones obviously.
