View Full Version : I likes a Poll - Best ever US Drama series
dont ask me why i came up with this one...
last time i did a poll (top gear races/challenges) i missed loads of good ones, hence leaving a "other" option...

the rest are crap

I haven't seen a fair few of those so not a fair vote from me really, but I flippin love CSI. Not the las vegas ones so much, but Miami definitely.
Hill Street Blues or CSI for me
not really seen much of the others
Other: The Wire
oooo that nearly got my 10th option!!

oh good grief! i cant believe i forgot that! i loved that programme, and still have a crush on Gillian!!
CSI: New York is my #1 favourite
The 4400 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_4400) was superb but got canned after the the fourth season when the writers strike happened leaving it unfinished :mad: :(
Also just got into Without a Trace (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Without_a_Trace) which seems great so far :)
Heroes - Season 1 was great but Season 2 seems to have lost its way a bit :???:
I would have to rate NCIS very high on the list with The West Wing. I have also got Studio 60 on the sunset strip to watch which was written by the same person who did the West Wing.

Couldnt get into that - just seemed like CSI on the cheap - but then I couldnt get into 24 and everyone lynched me for it! :batman:
Where's Heroes on the list? Heroes is really original in its direction.
I used to love prison break, but i missed the start of this new series :( I'll have to wait for the DVD.
Edit: also Frasier!

not seen all...but most, sapronos gets my vote, xfiles was great also in its day
CSI and house for me, but then i havent really watched the others so cant comment on them. HSB was good in its day.
Love CSI Vegas, there was a show a while ago called ''over there'' about the war in Iraq, it got canned cos it was too close to reality, that was excellent

You're missing one which, in my opinion, is better than most of those listed.
The Wire.
Gets my vote.

I voted for The West Wing as its my favourite of all those listed. I just love everything about it, from the storylines to the characters and the scripts. The dialogue is really intense and you have to pay attention or you'll miss something important.
As for the others on the list well, I've watched them all at one time or another and they're all good in their own way but there are also some that I really couldn't get into - Lost, Prison Break and 24 being the main ones.
24 is the best ever US drama series.
24 is also the best ever drama series in the whole world.
24 is the best series in the whole world
24 is the best TV in the whole world
In fact 24 is the best anything in the whole world ever, bar nothing :D
I was out of the country or didn't have Sky when the 1st season was on, but after I saw the 3rd I had to get the DVDs out to catch up.
I thought my interest would have waned by now, Redemption wasn't all that :???: but just saw 7/1 last night & CAN'T WAIT for the next episode :D
The whole thing is fantastic -to even wanting the ringtone (but I've never used it, honest 8-[)
Top poll Mr Dee keep 'em coming and 24 will win them all :cheers:

blah blah blah
TBH Lost the plot along with the writers 1/2 way through season 1.
Best watched in ensemble at stupid o'clock with ready supply of Jack Daniels for whenever any one says "Within the hour" .
Last season best watched AFTER a bottle of Jack Daniels & preferably after loss of conciousness.
(IMHO)

Hill Street blues and CSI's are the only 2 on that list I have ever seen.
Am I missing something? or maybe I must have either a life or taste after all.

Third watch has my vote..:takeabow:
I would have chosen Band of Brothers had it been on the poll but seeing as it wasn't I chose Hill Street Blues.
'Hey, Let's be careful out there'
Oh and the supermarket or something got robbed every single episode. That made me chuckle.
