Rugrats - hahaha the hidden adult jokes
Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood - corny at times but it has some really powerful themes in it.
Big Bang Theory - been a fan since the pilot, not since it got popular
Ouran High School Host Club - oh Tamaki, we are so similar. Only you're charming
Honey and Clover - may I say...I have never cried more

Oh man, I totally forgot about Futurama, The Big Bang Theory, and Flight of the Conchords. And the West Wing. And North and South (another mini-series).

Reading this reminded me I forgot a couple of other shows... Six feet under, The Guild (I find it's a fun 5 minutes every time XD), Gossip Girl (guilty pleasure), Modern Family, True Blood, Community... These aren't in my top five but I feel bad for leaving out shows I like. God I'm such a tv geek.

1. Three's Company...just something wonderful about the fun, happy times with friends, and I guess I just enjoy seeing people fall. :tongue:
2. Beverly Hills 90210 (original series, though I enjoy the new one, too.)
3. Felicity...thoughtful tales about the wonder and romance of being on your own for the first time.
4. Mad Men...great style during a fascinating time in the 20th century
5. Saturday Night Live

I could list Modern Family, Glee, Scrubs and many other shows. But all time? That's tricky. I guess...

Seinfeld
The Simpsons (Golden Era specifically)
South Park

And I'll add two childhood favourites:
Superted
Noddy

I like with the exception of Noddy (and omitting 'The'), they all start with S. Just like my name. And sex. And sleep. And showers. And spaghetti. S is my favourite letter.

Oh my god XD I had totally forgotten about the ''Why the face'' joke. I remember laughing so hard at that one... I also watch Glee though I feel the last couple of episodes were pretty awful.

As for Community, my fondest memory is still this:

YouTube - Community - "La Biblioteca" - Abed and Troy Rap

Community!!!!!!! Modern Family! How could I forget? :shocked:

... so even though I feel like I don't watch too much tv, apparently I do.

Also, I prefer tv over most movies any day because a) Hollywood usually sucks b) I have a hard time believing that big movie stars really are their charcaters (all I see are Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz etc) c) tv allows for the development of complicated and deep story lines/characters (ie the masterpiece that is the Wire) in way a lot of movies are unable to do. Obviously, there are a tonne of counter examples but I feel that my points generally hold up.

I completely agree; I find it hard to believe big movie stars in their roles (unles they are amazingly good actors). I still love movies but I've always felt that character development was the most important thing for me which I why I love tv so much. I just like finding characters I appreciate and seeing them cope with different situations..

I love Three's Company! When I got sick and had to stay home from school as a kid, I'd always watch Bewitched and Three's Company on TBS. Those were the days! (Ooh, All in the Family's pretty good, too.) But anyway, the later seasons without SUsanne Sommers weren't half as good.
