It was the original Twilight Zone but I think it's now tied with The Wire.

After you watch it, you'll wonder why the rest of television isn't that brilliant. What starts as a simple cops and players show becomes this massive thesis on the failure of America's institutions and the nature of corruption of identity.

My favourite TV show, is The Monkees. Back in 1966, there was a TV show, about a rock group made up of young men, living on their own. There were insults that The Monkees didn't play their own instruments, when in fact, they did play their own instruments. The thing about The Monkees, is that they were more about rebellion, than they were about music. 8)

The fact that Peter Tork is an Aspie is the icing on the cake, though Davy is my favourite.

Doctor Who, closely followed by Blake's 7. Both excellent examples of British science-fiction television.

Currently I like to watch: Numbers, Criminal Minds, Damages, House, The Bill, Gordon Ramsay/other cooking programmes.

When I was younger in the late 70's/early 80's it was The Monkees - Davy Jones was my first crush! The Professionals - I liked Lewis Collins. Dempsey and Makepeace - Michael Brandon was gorgeous, and has aged very well!!

My other favourites include: New Tricks, Judge John Deed, Strictly Come Dancing.

I watch some soap operas occasionally, although I do like Home and Away.

I also like tv quizzes - so I can test my brain, I'm particularly good on music/film/tv questions, not so much history/geography/sport questions.

My favorite show right now is probably Pawn Stars. It's a reality show on the History Channel about 4 guys: a grandfather (known only as Old Man), a father (Rick), a son (Corey AKA Big Hoss) and the son's best friend (Chum Lee), and they run a pawn shop together. The show focuses on the things people bring into the shop and whether or not they can strike a deal, as well as the hijinks of the owners. It's much better than it sounds. :D

I also enjoy that show every now and then. Michio Kaku is awesome. :)

I'm also a fan of Neil DeGrasse Tyson (I think that's how you spell his name).

I also like him, he is more down to Earth and objective. I like Kaku because he is very bold. I also like Alex Filippenko. Another good show with Michio Kaku is "Visions of the Future". :)
