Moved to Entertainment - The Ferret
Your choices sucked. A shortlist for me would be along the lines of: Dexter, Kyle XY (fuck you), BSG, Stargate SG1, Black Books, Blackadder, QI, House, Angel, Red Dwarf, Father Ted, Whose Line, etc, etc.

Im missing season 3, but its actually one of the few series I've bought (BSG S1-4, Black Books, Blackadder, Father Ted, MPD Psycho, Paranoia Agent and Neon Genesis Evangelion being the rest of my little collection).

My friend is obsessed with it so I torrented the first three seasons. I'm at the end of season 1 now.

In an unusual turn of events, I actually find the series is getting better with time.

I was going to put more, but it said 10 was the limit. I based them around comedy being as its my favorite. I would have put more including shows I dont like but others do.

You DID NOT just put Stargate on your awesome TV shows list! I can never watch that thing without cracking up or feeling sorry for the nerd fans. Sorry, but -1 respect points for Thomas.
If I'd made the list, I'd have included It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, King of Queens, Scrubs, and The Big Bang Theory.

Yup, I actually enjoyed the fact that Sci-Fi had a new hero for a while. And when SG1 ended, I watched the films. And when Staite moved to Atlantis, I watched that from the beginning to the end. And now theres SG:U, I expect I'll watch that because, lets face it, us sci-fi fans aren't exactly spoiled for choice. Star Trek? Ugh (except for the classic ofc). Doctor Who? His weapon is a fucking screwdriver. X-Files? HAH. And now BSG has ended, Farscape and SG1 are now in the past and Star Trek is decades old, we're left with an absence which is being filled by Lost that refuses to die, Heroes that is steadily getting worse and Fringe that was shitty from the get go. There is nothing filling the void.
Also, anyone who lists "King of Queens" and "The Big Bang Theory" as good comedy has their opinion invalidated. Just how many episodes have they played the "Im fat and incompetent" and "But thats cos im a nerd stereotype" in now? I mean, Scrubs/Sunny aren't funny imo but at least the story doesn't suck ass.
One I did forget though, "My Name is Earl" isn't bad, one of the few American comedies I can watch without eye rolling, wincing, and actually occasionally smiling at one of the jokes. Actually, theres a few I missed. Firefly is a big one, Boondocks is another, IT Crowd (watch that instead of TBBT, seriously), Peep Show, Black Lagoon and Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Yeah I guess It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia is over you head cause that show is the funniest thing on tv. Yeah My name is Earl was funny the first season but got real boring after that IMO

I tried watching it, but the jokes were all too obvious and blatant; its one step away from pausing after every obvious pun for a laughter track. As for My Name, I never really sat down and watched it. More a 'If it happens to be on' kinda thing.

I like Scrubs, The Simpsons, Dexter and Supernatural. The two first mostly entertains me and put a smile on my face, but I don't really laugh. Dexter and Supernatural are both excellent imo.
Can't be bothered to stay up late enough to watch dexter.

Hehe, the Brit lists Red Dwarf, Blackadder and Father Ted Typical. I love those shows, though. Most Comedy I watch was BBC-based untill How I met Your Mother came round. I LOVE that show.

24's good, but South Park's better.
Especially since the shows in the poll are generally comedy, not drama.
