ROTFLMAO! You're too funny!
 
The best ever made...

that's a hard one - as Gemsong says it changes from year to year for me, I just can't do a 1-5 like that.

Star Trek TOS, Star Trek DS9, and Star Trek TNG have to be there. Also X Files, Stargate but there are alot of others. the first season of Sliders. Red Dwarf. Monty Python's Flying Circus. Fawlty Towers. The Young Ones. Star Trek: Voyager. Blackadder (all series).

Neo- Space 1999 was a bit cheesy! Also UFO was better. They only made Space 1999 because UFO was cancelled, but they had already made the sets to move the base to the moon for the next series.

Gary Cole was the star in it. He used to be in the midnight caller...cool 80's show...anyway, he had this rocking southern accent, and the little kid in it was AWESOME......can't remember his name at the mo.
The show was all about the devil and how he ran the town, everyone thought he was great until they owed him something, and the little kid was his son....but the kid hated him, the sheriff that is who was the devil in disguise...it was great...I was gutted they cancelled it.

Carkedit :dead:

I for one am happy that i have found another person who liked space 1999... I have just ordered the series on DVd ihere in the Uk....
 
Neo, I am truly sooooo jealous... :(

I caught the first season when I lived in NYC. My mother moved me into the wilds of upstate New York with only the farm channel.

As this was before the advent of VCRs, a friend of mine sent me a couple audio tapes of the second season.

Talk about desperate...

It was a sci-fi wasteland... I would have never survived without the books.:rolly2:

I like Fawlty Towers too----anything with John Cleese is usually funny. What is Blackadder? The Young Ones?

little star :star:

I am taking that that is no longer a problem for you... LOL.... I could not survive without a daily does of trek or sci-fi.... ooooo no no no
 
They are both BBC shows so you will get them on your 'Public Broadcasting Service' stations somewhere.

'The Young Ones' is about four students living in a house together. A smart business type, a nerd who likes Cliff Richard, a hippy, and a punk rocker. It's foul and disgusting, and very funny, though a bit dated now.
It had Rik Mayall, Adrian Edmondson, & Nigel Planer.
It was written by Ben Elton.

'The Blackadder' is a historical comedy.
Skip likes it too so you can imagine it's pretty chaotic. The first season is set in England in the Dark ages, the second in Elizabethan times, the third in Georgian times, the fourth during the First World War in the trenchs.
It had Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean), Tim McInnerny (Notting Hill), Tony Robinson (Time Team), Stephen Fry as well as a host of other British 'alternative' comedy actors such as Rick Mayall, and older comedy actors such as Peter Cook in guest parts.
There was a new episode made to be shown in the Millennium Dome which has also been on Sky One, you may get that too.
It was wriiten by Ben Elton and Richard Curtis. Richard Curtis is responsible for Mr. Bean, The Vicar of Dibley, Notting Hill, and he's been to a lot of Weddings.
:D
 
Black adder is such a great show...... Rowan is soooo funny.... you can get it on DVD now...
 
I've got a big thick book with the complete scripts of 'Blackadder' in. I've also got all the 'Fawlty Towers' and 'Mr. Bean' videos. I didn't like the 'Mr. Bean' film though.
 
Same here i never like the Bean Movie..... What u think of the Black Adder BAck and Forth episode.... I thought it was good... not as good as the series mind u
 
I thought that 'Back and forth' was very good, I saw it at the Millennium Dome.

You didn't answer my question earlier?

Space 1999 cheesy.... no way..... how can ya say that ...LOL

UFO : that commander guy freaked me out every time he was on.... weird looking guy... YUK...
 
Hey now, Space 1999 was not that bad of a show. A little cheesy yes, but then again, you are looking at it with today's eyes. Back then, it was entertaining, i thought so at least.
 
My five favorite shows ever, in no particular order are:

Tour of Duty
Miami Vice
C.S.I
X-Files
Airwolf

Weird choices I know, but these were the shows that I had to watch when they were on.
