Masters of horror has a few nice episodes (some suck badly)

Yes yes, MacGyver is a classic. Great main theme Big grin

It surprises me that nobody mentioned X files. Far from perfect but still, you can't talk about tv series without mentioning X files. ;P Eh, i wouldn't trade teh golden days for anything. Even if it should have ended in season 6 imo.

South park of course. Futurama was really nice too so i suggest it -damn fox for killing this one.

Power Rangers ftw :===E

Lost sux0rz

It is too long. They had a great idea, a great 1st season and a semi great second season and realized they could make more money from it and they drag it out and out and out and out. I mean, how long is it interesting to watch the same people on the same island season after season after season?

Finish while it is still good instead of draggin it out just to cash in. Lost = Falcon Crest on an island as far as I am concerned right now.

The only series I can accept has many seasons is 24, simply because it is a new storyline every season.

Prison break same thing, I watched almost the whole first season before I heard there was gonna be a season 2 and I stopped watching. It means you gonna have to wait too long to see the end of it and that the quality will get worse and worse, better to skip it Sad

Thats why I love Carnivale. They made 2 great seasons and stopped.

I agree with bo BUT i find a slightly different "reason" for quality success. The very best series come from creators that have a very clear vision of how the story will end. Carnivale is the finest example i have in mind. Books -> Series. You know exactly how the story will go so you focus all your energy on other production values, directing/music/acting/atmosphere/ etc etc. Sooo if your story is good, you'll have a good result for sure.

X files. They didn't know how it would end so they fucked it up nicely. Same with lost as you say or prison break or soooooo many other series. "It's the money money money....." -bad juju ;d

That is exactly the reason i wait on most series to end to start watching. I have no need to waste soo many hours on "a good effort" or "a fucked up story".

Built the story + Have the writer on the set --> !!

ps: All the above don't matter on series that have on every episode a different story.

--edit--

Dragonball was good while i could still count the characters ;P (or in other words while he was still a kid ;])

I agree Tartaros. Make sure your whole story is done before production. As with books.

@SuperBO: u seem to enjoy your series short, then i strongly suggest u watch Day Break, Thief (both already ended) and even Over There (was left to die, but still 1 great season).

I like my series to end Happy Not necessarily short, if someone makes a series over many seasons for a good reason then its fine, usually though long series tend to drag things out too long.

I enjoyed friends even if it was long but thats a sitcom so totally different issue.

Thanks for the tips, If I ever get time I'll watch them Happy

LOOOOL at u!!!!!! u forgot one.

The series won widespread acclaim among many mainstream non sci-fi publications. Time magazine, Rolling Stone magazine and New York Newsday named it the best show on television in 2005. Other publications like The New York Times, The New Yorker and National Review also gave the show glowing reviews.
