      Best TV Programme Of All Time!
      Mar 03, 2010 12:59:57 pm
      What is your favourite tv programme of all time? Could be something old, could be something new.

      I know it may be a bit fo a cliche but The Simpsons wins it hands down for me. Sure it's not as good as it used to be but what else could have lived up to the episodes from the mid 90s which included such amazing tv episodes like Homer becoming a trade union leader or Bart and his friends battling over the first ever Radioactive Man comic. It makes it all the more remarkable as it is the only American tv show I like.

      Fawlty Towers wins it by a mile they only did two series of it but the anarchic humour and the totally amazing character portrayals was light years ahead of the comedy norm, it was and still is a yardstick that nobody has equalled.

      The Simpsons - the fact I've seen most episodes about 20 times yet I've never got bored of them is quite something.

      It's just ... entertaining! Even when it doesn't make you laugh out loud you are still smiling inside almost. Very clever programme.

      It's a toss up between X-Files, Seinfeld, and The Simpsons. I can't separate them.

      I've had so much enjoyment watching them over the years.

      They decided not to have another series because they didnt want to over do it they should have stopped after two but some of the last series was alright.

      While The Simpsons might not be as good as it was, it's still better than any other programme on tv. What I hate most is people saying that Family Guy is actually better than The Simpsons. Sure Family Guy is hilarious, but there is no genius to it - it's just cheap laughs you get out of it. Having said that the last series of Family Guy was utter horseshit. Blew my top off when people thought that 'Bird is the word' chant was actually funny. I could have kicked the tv in if I hear it again!

      The first series of Prison Break was absolutely brilliant - and then it was just milked. I haven't watched the rest of the episodes.

      I still think the other series are great (the 3rd not so much though), but the 1st is undoubtely the best. If the other series were as good as the first, Prison Break would probably be my only answer in this thread.

      Too right. Sesame Street was a lunchtime fixture for me when I was growing up in the 90s on Channel 4.

      Best British comedy? It really is a toss up between Fawlty Towers and Only Fools. Seen all episodes and it's hard to choose.
