Favourite TV Shows!

Hey I was just curious what other nerdfighters consider their favourite tv shows, so let us share!

My personal ones which I wouldn't be surprised if few or any had even heard of some:

Vicar of Dibley
As Time Goes By
A Fine Romance
Columbo
MacGyver
The Office
Unsuitable Job for a Woman
Bones
Dexter
Heroes
Midsomer Murders
Remington Steele

I could go on and on, but as you can see I like variety.
Share your thoughts, fellow nerdfighters!

You can't be a true Nerdfighter if you don't love The Big Bang Theory!

At the risk of sounding like I'm on HBO's payroll:

The Newsroom
Veep
Girls
Curb Your Enthusiasm (if it ever comes back)

My all-time favorite show is The Avengers (British, 1960's).

Can someone explain to me why vampire shows are so popular? Escapism? Peer pressure?

THat's funny, for a while I thought you couldn't be a nerd if you liked The Big Bang Theory. Then I read somewhere online someone commented that all of their scientist friends loved The Big Bang Theory but the Pop-Culture Obsessives didn't. It was then I realized that while the show seems to hate its characters for loving pop-culture it seems to respect them for being scientists. It's totally true to a fairly good extent at least. When the show makes poor vague references to comic books it's almost always at the character's expense but when it makes jokes about them being scientists it's almost always less hateful and more friendly towards the characters. I just thought that was interesting.
