Hill Street Blues
It had everything - including life, death, romance, crime, humour and pathos.

I'm not sure if I have one particular favourite but my top favourites have to be The Prisoner which starred Patrick McGoohan and made in the mid 60s, UFO which was a great Gerry Anderson series using puppets and live action and the Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin. Oh and mustn't leave without I, Claudius, the brilliant story of the 6 emperors of Rome in the 70s. Absolutely brilliant it was. There are many other favourites, including Fools and Horses such as Porridge, Morecambe and Wise, Steptoe and Son, Thunderbirds, Dallas ... but where to draw the line? :)

I've got two series on number one :
First one is : "Mash".
The reason it's on number one for me :
I think the humor was priceless, the actors were great, and the scriptwriters also managed to show us there WAS a war going on, with all the tragedy that went with it. (I esp. loved one of the last...or was it the last one....episode, in which the characters were interviewed about how each of them perceived the war. Just yesterday I found an interview with one of the scriptwriters/directors of Mash on Youtube, turns out there wasn't a real fixed script for that episode : the actors were given all the freedom to give their own opinion, looked at it from the character they played, of course.
The second show is : "Presidio Med".
The reasons that show is joined number one on my list are :
The scriptwriters managed to give their characters depth, and some of the characters ALMOST managed to make me forget this was just a series. (quite an achievement, given the fact I've worked as a general nurse and later as an OR-nurse for almost 21 years)
I liked the fact the characters of the patients were portrayed more than usual in a doctor's series, IMHO.
The medical terminologie was, for the most part, used correctly (altho maybe a bit too specialistic for people not working in the medical field, which may have contributed to the fact the ratings apparently were too low for CBS to stop the show after only 12 episodes, arrrghhhhh!!!), and ALL members of the cast played their roles great.
IMHO the characters of Dr. Rae Brennan and Dr. Kokoris were the weakest links in the script, and yet Dana Delany and Oded Fehr managed to make everything out of it that was in it.

The remake of my favorite show "Leave it to Beaver" that Disney
had on for a while called "Still the Beaver" with a lot of the old characters from the original show especially Eddie Haskell who
was not a Porn Star or Alice Cooper but a Los Angeles Motor
Cycle Cop.

I loved Hill Street Blues - absolute classic! Now my fave programme has to be Have I Got News For You. Paul Merton has to be one of the funniest quickfire men on the box. Also watched Not Going Out the other night and found it hilarious. This one has potential!

My personal favorite is Seinfeld, but I'd have to say objectively that M*A*S*H is the best TV show ever produced.

It has to be Three's Company with john ritter. He is a true comedy great. I was devestated when he died. I never get tired of watching those classics.
