Want to take a break from movies and watch some sitcoms and TV shows...

Go ahead and list your favourite TV shows you like and that you might want to recommend.

I'll start with my list:


Adventure

Man Vs Wild (I like survival stuffs and things)
Ray Mears' Extreme Survival


Comedy

F.R.I.E.N.D.S
Mr. Bean



Action/Drama

Lost
Prison Break



Family
Tom and Jerry
Popeye




Documentary

Planet Earth (just saw one episode and it's a must see!, thanks goobi for hooking me up)



On the way...
These are the future stuffs I'm gonna lay my hands on:
- Rome
- Heroes
- Everyone Loves Raymond (already have them)
- Desperate Housewives (have season 1 and 2)
- Himalaya with Micheal Palin
- Survivorman
- Sopranos


Guys, hook me up with some nice sitcoms. I've not seen much of them.

So get on with your list and don't forget to mention the genre as well...

Some nice suggestions people! Here some more recommendation 8.0+/10 rating & 1000+ votes at IMDb. (needs registration b4 you can see view)

How about Animations like The Simpsons, Futurama, South Park, Family Guy, etc??? I saw The Simpsons movies and thought it's a kinda Ok stuff..


By the way, I forgot. I guess I have Firefly too! Next on my hit list...

Bet many of you will be thinking simpsons is the longest running Animation show ever ?
but you are wrong the longest running show is Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen-mae Hashutsujo (Kochi Kame) , since in japan most of the anime are based on manga this one has about 1500 Ch. + its the longest running manga ever.
People in japan like Kochikame so much that there are statues of Ryotsu in front of the real Kameari Police Station.

Dr you should check out Heroes. Pretty neat.

iNFiNiTE -
Good list there! I'll check out Shaun the Sheep now. Man Vs. Wild is on Discovery not Nat Geo.


I used to like Dekh Bhai Dekh, Junoon when it ran in DD some 10-15 years ago.

Comedy :
The Office (US version ... 3 seasons till now plus 4th season halfway due to the strike) ..... I know its not a normal sitcom...but I like it.... its quite witty !

Futurama ..... I love this show.

Southpark ......... Do I need to say anything about this one ..??



Action/Drama :
House ........ just brilliant (thought provoking .... the dialogues are quite nice ....philosophical at times)

Heroes ........ I want to kick myself for not seeing it for a long time ... I saw the entire season 1 in one go ...and plus the second season ......and yes the second season was kinda slow.But still cant believe ....these are "serials" they look like full fledged movies.The graphics, the cinematography ...the action ...just mind blowing....... I wonder when we will have such serials made here in INDIA.

LOST .......... the mother of mystery/drama.

The X-Files ..... I know they are old .....but I like them a lot.

Doesn't anyone here like The OC ?

Season 3 might have sucked but Season 1 was the best season of any show i've ever seen . Yes prison break season 1 is good but not compared to The OC season 1 .

Lost season 1 wasn't up to the mark though , Season 3 was the best of em.

I'm likin Prison Break season 2 , am on episode 10 .
