I should probably add West Wing to the HMs imlad Send a noteboard - 09/11/2011 07:29:21 PM
It really was a great show (some of the best dialogue writing and timing on broadcast television).

1. The West Wing (excellent writing, acting, characters and a fairly even high standard through all seven seasons)

And the rest are in no particular order:

- Bones (high points are characters and exactly the right level of humour)
- Yes, Minister (don't tell Tim - storylines that crazily don't date, marvellous wit, and so much gorgeous satire - British comedy at its absolute best)
- Wire in the Blood (another excellent British show, but this time about serial killers - creepy storylines, great casting, nothing too over the top or silly)

... I'm stuck. Can't think of more that I'd rate highly like those.
Death to the Regressives of the GOP and the TeaParty. No mercy for Conservatives. Burn them all at the stake for the hateful satanists they are.
