I am not a big TV guy, but I do love to watch The Big Bang Theory. Also, I quite like the BBC's mini-show Sherlock.

I may have missed it, but no one's mentioned Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations.  That show is a trip. Big smile

There are way too many older shows that I've enjoyed, so I won't bother listing them all.  As for current shows, the two that immediately spring to mind are Dexter and It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.  I mainly watch TV for sports these days Embarrassed.

This is one of the best sketches from Germany's best comedian, Loriot (he is the wine merchant), with the unforgettable Evelyn Hamann, his congenial female partner in many sketches. It is funny even if you don't understand German, but if you do it is even better of course. Full of sexual undertones, and the slogan for the combination of vacuum cleaner and drying hood, the Heinzelmann, has become a dictum in German.

My favourite TV serie has to be Red Dwarf. I don't know how well know the serie is elsewhere, but here in Finland no one knows it. I've understood it was pretty popular in UK though. For those who don't know Red Dwarf, it's a scifi comedy serie about a guy who is put into suspended animation on the mining ship Red Dwarf in deep space. The entire other crew is wiped out in an accident. The guy is released stasis some millions. His only companions are the ship's senile computer, a hologram of his dead bunk mate and a lifeform who evolved from the ship's cat. Later they're accompanied by a droid. It sounds completely ridiculous, but the show is filled with great little jokes.

Other favourite of mine is Cold Feet
Hey a Red Dwarf fan _ I just watched the DVD Back to Earth today and loved it. I missed the laughing with the live audience as it made it less humorous without the spontaneity of the characters reacting to the laughter. Lister was excellent on this and I liked the scene where Kryten walks in with Mexican hat, and of course that Russian hologram. Kochanski was a surprise element and I thought it had a nice twist. Rimmer was very funny as usual. A great series! The Blade Runner homages were wonderful and the effects are way better than the series ever was.
what is your favourite season - 3 or 4 for me
 
You'll be happy to know that they are making 2 new series(Series 10&11) of Red Dwarf,and series 10 is actually in production right now.Me and my wife adore RD but couldn't stand the Back to Earth specials.While they really upped the production values there was just something lacking.
 
Favorite series of the show would be series 5 for me.It's a very consistent season and has two of my favorite episodes(Quarantine & Back to Reality).

Big Red Dwarf fan here - just a little sceptical of this news; whilst I'd love to see new episodes, I wonder if it was a little 'of its time' & wouldn't translate too well after such a break

Any series which comes up with classic scenes like this:



Deserves to be remembered with affection - I hope it's not remembered as "well it used to be really good"

Hmm, there are those (ie me) who think it passed it's sell by date after Rob Grant quit and Series 7 was one series too many. Not that there was anything wrong or bad about the last two and a mini series - the writing and acting was as goos as it ever was, it just wasn't "Red Dwarf".

Oddly No. I mean I remember the programs, and James Burke presenting them, but could not for the life of me recall what they were about. I know they were bloody facinating at the time and "required viewing", but I had to reach for Wikipedia to "remember" what them. Ouch
