What the title says. 

"Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it, just let it happen. Could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black coffee. Like this."  -Dale Cooper

Let's just say that Twin Peaks is always going to be number one so I will give you 5 others in no particular order:

1. Charmed
2. CSI (Las Vegas)
3. Dr. Who
4. How I Met Your Mother
5. Queer as Folk

Twin Peaks

Star Trek: TOS

Stargate SG-1

John Doe

Nowhere Man

Wow, a lot of Trekkies on here.  Seems like I'm the only one here, who don't "get it".

My dad is a big fan of the shows, and I've tried to get into a few of them as well, but for some reason I just can't get into them.  Is the original the best?  As a non-trekkie, which do you think would be the best one to watch?

1. Twin Peaks (Obviously, or I wouldn't be here) :

I won't bother to justify that one, as we have a whole forum here for discussing TP

Alphabetic -

Arrested Development (oh Tobias, you blowhard)

Buffy: The Vampire Slayer ("They turned that stupid Kristy Swanson movie into a TV show?!"- Classmate, 2008)

Mystery Science Theater 3000 (it makes me happy just how many episodes I have never seen, waiting out there for me)

Twin Peaks (such a profound influence on my creative work, it's almost embarrassing)

The X-Files (jesus those last couple seasons were boring, but look at how much awesome came before. People who dismiss the mythos eps are glossing over the most emotionally wrenching character moments in the series)

Yup, bunch of genre stuff. I know The Wire and Sopranos, et all, will make me cum in my brain, but these are the shows that do it for me.

In no particular order:  Twin Peaks

The Larry Sanders Show

X-Files

Six Feet Under

The Prisoner

Such a groovy show. For anyone who has DirecTV, they replay it on Chiller every now and then. (Along with Twin Peaks, BTW)

My Top 5 shows in no particular order:

M*A*S*H
Northern Exposure
Twin Peaks
Dead Like Me
Star Trek - OK, for the sake of discussion and so j doesn't have a miniature stroke...I don't think one can actually be a Trek fan if they don't like ALL Trek series', so I rarely if ever choose a favorite. That being said, the best of the five is obviously DS9 for the most outstanding genius-to-crap episode ratio. However, if I were to select a favorite of the five series', my personal fave will always be TNG simply because it contains my favorite episode in all of Trek canon and holds the honor of containing the only Trek episode that almost make me cry.

Twin Peaks
Garth Marenghi's Darkplace
Carnivalé
I'm Alan Partridge
Serial Experiments: Lain

All five shows are amazing in their own right. TP you're all quite aware of, as are most of you with Carnivalé too. Alan Partridge needs no introduction to most. Garth Marenghi's Darkplace is a hysterically funny faux-horror/drama series done by the same people/actors behind and in The IT Crowd, Father Ted, The Office, etc. The timing, effects, acting, dialogue is all so badly put together (on purpose of course) and has caused some serious belly-aches from laughter. It is seriously one of the funniest things i have ever seen. The soundtrack is a blatant Badalamenti tribute too.

SE:L can be explained as a modern day Twin Peaks type story, but it is a Manga (don't let that put you off; that word tends to scare some people!). A girl is found dead within the first couple of scenes of the first episode. She is contacting certain people from "beyond the grave", but through the medium of technology, rather than dreams. Allsorts of fucked up stuff happens which is too deep and weird to explain right now. Needless to say it is a very captivating show, and i had to watch one immediately after the other when i got the DVD. I'm so glad i didn't have to wait a week to find out what happened next.

Well, five is just not enough, (especially when you've lived as many decades as I have!)  As soon as I posted my list, I thought of 5 more.  I can't leave off these:  

Monty Python's Flying Circus  

All in the Family

The Bob Newhart Show  

Trek: TOS

Carnivale
