My top 10 favorite TV shows are 10: Arrested Development 9: Fawlty Towers 8: Father Ted 7: Frasier 6:The Simpsons 5: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia 4: Family Guy 3:On the Buses 2: Community 1: Seinfeld
His #1 made me want to watch that show, I somehow missed it when it was on the air...
And now it's one of my all-time favorites, I HOPE they bring it back someday (it's even better because I'm an English major, and there's a LOT of jokes in there from literary sources...that, and it's wit and sarcasm at it's BEST!)
My top ten favorite shows are all anime except for 1. They are: 10) dragon ball z. 9) naruto (haven't gotten to shippuden yet). 8) full metal alchemist. 7) sword art online (really took me by surprise, it didn't seem too interesting). 6) full metal alchemist brotherhood. 5) the office (the american version, and the only non-anime show). 4) devil may cry. 3) dragon ball. 2) fairy tail. 1) One Piece
Some of mine are, in no particular order, All in the Family, Twilight Zone, Lost in Space, Futurama, Justice League, Ed Edd n Eddy, Breaking Bad, 1883, Wonder Years, Animaniacs, Death Note, WandaVision
Oh god, I made a new friend! XD I love Only Fools, Faulty Towers, Keeping up appearances, obv red dwarf, you named a lot of the obscurer ones there :P OH OH bottom! :P
I do want to add this, though, not all of the 'Twilight Zone' (best show ever made outside of Family Guy) episodes were dark. In fact, one of my favorites written by my late favorite author called 'I Sing The Body Electric' wasn't dark at all and neither was the final episode (my mom's favorite) 'The Bewitchin' Pool'. So the show had funny and even touching at times and the rest had that great darkness we all crave. Right on, man.
Never would've guessed that was your first favorite, dude . . . again, I bow to you! I so grew up on that show and The Flying Circus. Heck I was quoting 'Whatever you do, don't mention the war!' when I was five years old and my parents told people I was born in Berlin! I disagree with the Seinfeld, but then if I gave it a chance then like you it might grow on me too!
