Hmm. This may have to be a work in progress...

Simpsons - Kinda sucks now but it was amazing for the first 5 seasons or so.

Battle Star Galactica (new one) - So Starbuck is a girl. Suck it up old timers, and watch one of the best series ever made!

The Office (U.S.) - Dwight... Need I say more?

Friends - cleo reminded me. Thanks.

Daily Show - John is awesome

Sopranos - Thanks DenDon

Bleach - There is a little otaku in all of us. Don't lie!

Man vs. Wild - Ya, its not fully real and Bear is somewhat of a hack, but I do love those survival shows.

Two more to come when I think of em.

I'd just like to say thanks to all of you for your great lists. There are so many great shows that I had forgotten, but reading all your lists today put a big smile on my face when I remembered them. Especially the brilliance of John Cleese in Fawlty Towers and the excellent Grey's Anatomy. There's just one more I want to add, because I'm a huge Rowan Atkinson fan, it's Black Adder!!

Grew up in Australia. The one series that sticks in my mind the most is the Young Ones (the four loonies sharing a flat). I also liked Star Trek and some of the more unusual British shows on Australian TV. Anyone remember Blakes 7? I also liked Not the 9 O'Clock News, however, I was usually ushered off to bed when it came on.

"RomeoRamenII at 05:05 PM JST - 12th August

Seriously? So I guess those disfigured (one far more than the other) beasts do have fans....

Dont see many J-shows here (and for good reason) but London Hearts, Q-Sama, and Nep League are fun.
