What only ONE British Series ?

I sense a wee bit of Bias going on !.......................lol

I had to go with CSI, I do enjoy that. Now with Miami and New York, it puts a bit more variety into the series as well.

Why US dramas are more exciting than ours

American series are more addictive. But that’s because, for commercial reasons, they have to be.
So, if you’re writing a drama series for a mainstream American television channel, suspense is indispensable. You need to cling to your viewers for dear life.

But not only do American series need great cliffhangers at the end of each episode, they need great cliffhangers within each episode. American television has more ad breaks, and they’re longer than ours. So, to stop viewers straying, each break must be prefixed with a jolt shocking enough to freeze the viewers to their seats for a good five minutes.

I can't vote because I don't watch any of them lol. I don't watch much TV at all really, and nothing at all regular at the moment.

[Lynnrose]

I only watch two from the list, '24' and 'Lost'

[elvisuk]

The New Dr Who is coming to your TV on the 3.4.10. i am not too sure huw to vote for maybe i will go for Dr Who no contest i think ;D

[nocky2]

I have to admit that the only one on the list that I've watched a complete episode of is "Dr. Who".

There are no ordinary people on American TV series, everybody's beautiful and rich, but can't act for toffee, totally turns me off.

The only US series I ever watched regulary were "The X Files", and "Futurama", (I even watch the repeats) but they aren't on the list. ;D

[Julie]

The Wire for me ... without a doubt!

[ken]

I would have voted for Futurama if it had been on the list. Lyla what a turn on she is. A Cyclops is the last thing on my list of things to do before I die.

[Lynnrose]

I used to love The X-Files, but have never heard of Futurama....off to Google I go!

[Lynnrose]

''Futurama is an animated American science fiction sitcom''
Not my cup of tea I'm afraid

[millwall]

Do not watch any of them, my favourite TV is "Top Gear"

[buzzy]

I only watch sport on TV really, I am afraid I don't watch any of the programmes outlined,

[nocky2]

"Futurama" LR , funniest thing on TV for ages, done by the same gang that do "The Simpsons". ;D

[merchant42]

There are some good American series out there CSI (all of them !)
i really enjoy, have not watched 24 or Lost, the trailers put me off.

Heroes is brilliant

But seeing as I have Dr Who as my ringtone ! say no more !

[mikkh]

Out of that list, Friends and Dr Who are the only two I've watched more than one episode of

Just saw the new 'Doctor' on Wossy last night - he came across as a bit of a pillock to me, so I'm not really looking forward to the new series.

[muskrat26]

I have to go with CSI too. I love that. CSI would be better without that awful Horatio Caine but the New York series is adorable to watch and lets throw in NCIS as well.

[ken]

I bet you like Gibbs better than DiNozzo dont you Von.

I've only got one favourite and I'm not saying who that is.

Totaly agree with everything you say ;D

[tuesdaymine]

Dont watch any ......but love Dr Martin

[movieman36]

From the list, Heroes for me. But by far the best was missing from the list, FAMILY GUY.
I did note that the list was presented with 24 at the top, do we know anyone on these boards who is a bit addicted to 24?

[Lynnrose]

Lol MM....but! it is not me. The list is in the order of the poll that was done by LOVEFILM and '24' beat them all

[nike]

If "Top Gear" was one of the options, that would get my vote too, but as it isn't, and I rarely get to watch TV, my vote goes to the Soprano's. It's my type of series, and it's on when I finish work and hop into bed to watch a little tele for a short time.....

[elvisuk]

Well all i can say is there is more peapol in yankland then over hear in England so more votes for 24 ;D

[pluckyfilly]

OOOOOOOOO WOW I didnt know we voted and was about to ask what are we voting for but reading the above I now realise and have to confess I dont watch any of these programmes and know nothing about them, in fact - apart from Dr Who I hadnt heard of any of these programmes Lynnrose, sorry
Plucky
ps was poorly all over Easter and never came in then fully intended to try chat Friday (last night) and totally forgot so thats two sorries - did anybody else remember???
PF

[Lynnrose]

No worries Filly...yes, I always forget about chatroom

[johnnybee]

CSI is pretty darn good, but I can't stand that carrot-headed twerp "Horatio" in the Miami series - he's about the worst actor I've come across in donkeys' years!
He can't stand up straight, he can't speak without trying to appear menacing and he shuffles from one ridiculous pose to another - probably trying to disguise his obvious lack of presence.
I haven't seen him smile yet, either!

[buzzy]

I don't actually watch much TV, but being the "sad" person I am, I watch every episode of "Neighbours" - the intrigue can often be very interesting.

[stevespiccys]

It's got to be Dr Who for me
