I was just wondering, what are your favorite TV shows you guys? Whether its arbitrary or well known, paper thin or ocean deep story wise, funny or serious, post them here.
I'll start with a couple of mine:
Hercules: The Legendary Journeys:
This is probably one of my favorite TV shows of all time. I always liked Greek mythology, and I loved their portrayal of the various myths and legends of Ancient Greek lore, despite the obvious differences. The action was good, the jokes were cheesy, and most of the actors did a great job of playing their parts, especially Michael Hurst as Iolaus, and there was good moderation in the blood and violence too. Although Hercules (portrayed by Kevin Sorbo) almost never kills anybody due to his good nature, they seem to mistakenly kill themselves when they go too far.
Stargate SG-1:
I generally wasn't a fan of TV Sci-fi until I watched this show, got me hooked after a couple of episodes. I especially liked how It tried to stay grounded in realism unlike other more obvious Sci-Fi universes (Star Trek and Star Wars, anyone?) Unfortunately Richard Dean Anderson was a big part of what made the show good, and when he left, it was still good, but it lacked a certain charm that it had with him on it.
Xena: Warrior Princess:
Another one of my favorites, I loved this show almost as much as Hercules. The overall show itself was better (except for the last season) then Hercules later on, but the earlier seasons of TLJ keep me from liking this one more, though they are both great. I really liked how Xena (Lucy Lawless) started off as a very evil adversary of Hercules, but was changed by the absolute brutality of her comrades, along with their betrayal, and her encounters with Hercules. The overall tone of the show was darker than Hercules, with Xena killing (sometimes violently) most of the foes she faced. I did kind of like her premise though, she wasn't a complete do-good person like Hercules, but rather she was making up for her viscous and murderous past. The last season sucked ass though. :/
Stargate Atlantis
Another of my favorites, this one was good because it kept the overall ideas that made the first one so good, and applied it to a new setting. The Actors also did a particularly good job as well, especially Joe Flanigan. It was really a shame that it was canceled for that new "SG-U" crap.
