Kinda predictable when we have novels and films, but why not? :D

Another of my top fives:

1. Doctor Who. No other competition needed, this is my one and forever favourite show. In fact, for a few years I wanted to play the Doctor before looking at more realistic ambitions, such as following in the footsteps of Gerald Durrell and Chris Packham rather than David Tennant and Tom Baker. :p But when I first saw the show in 2005 on it's return (I did see one older episode and visited Longleat's DW exhibition before then, but this was my first proper taste of the show), I was hooked. I can now proudly call myself a Doctor Who but regardless of old or new. :D And technically, and I'll count it's spin-offs, Torchwood and the Sarah Jane Adventures with this ranking.
2. Primeval. Another show about time travel, but with my paleontolgy interest intertwined, as it's prehistoric creatures invading the present in this one!
3. Heroes. Another great supernatural-stuff-in-the-present show, this has some great twists, but you need to watch every episode to keep up!
4. Being Human. A vampire, werewolf and a ghost share a house in Bristol. Nough' said.
5. The Inbetweeners/Peep Show. I count these together cos the comedy is just too great to put one before the other. :D
 
My favourites are Doctor Who, Spooks, Ugly Betty and the Inbetweeners in roughly that order, with Waterloo Road as a bonus entry because it is so hilariously bad.
 
my favs are

"the zoo"
"dirty jobs"
"good news week"
"RSPCA animal rescue"
"snake crusader with bruce george"
"the jeff corwin experience"
"talkin bout your gen"
 
I'm another for Doctor Who and Torchwood. Haven't really bothered with The Sarah Jane Adventures, though, if I'm honest. Comedy programmes such as Extras, Family Guy, The Simpsons, The Inbetweeners, Peep Show, That Mitchell And Webb look etc are brilliant. I also do like a lot of the dramas on Ch4, such as Shameless and Misfits. Pretty much everything I've listed there, I have in entirety, with the exceptions being That Mitchell And Webb look and Peep Show.

But I do have to admit, I do like Big Brother, however unpopular it may be. xD

TV shows doesn't really work as well as movies and books because not all places see the same ones wile books and movies, at least in the english speaking countries are pretty universal.

Anyways my favorites are...
~Spicks and Specks-A music quiz show with comedians and musicians. There's no prizes or anything so it's just a bit of fun.
~Grand Designs-I know you Brits know what this is but for Americans it's just about people who build extravagent houses.
~Top Gear-It's the most watched show in the world so I bet a few people on here know it and love it. Basically it's just a car show.
And I always seem to get sucked into dramas and then have to keep watching them to find out what happens. Neighbours, Skins and Gossip Girl all sucked me in and I don't really like them but I just can't stop. :)
 
My favs would include Lost, Friends, League of Gentlemen & the original Transformers series

I used to love Animal Planet but I much pefer Nat Geo Wild nowadays. AP has too many reality type shows and I'd much rather watch a good documentry or two. Wild Russia is excellent. :)
 
Think the best 'focused' wildlife documentary (excluding things like 'Life' etc.) I've seen is 'Tiger: Spy in the Jungle'. A really fascinating insight into the life of tigers in India's Seasonal Forests. :)
 
I just thought of some more shows that I really like.
-The Mighty Boosh. Hilarious and kind of refreshing.
-30 Rock. Tina Fey is a genious and I never liked Alec Baldwin until now.

and you'll all be glad to know I've given up neighbours. LOL
 
Any animal based programme.
Only fools and horses
The big bang theory
Trigger happy tv
How I met your mother
Top gear
Friends
Milton jones/tim vine stand up
Fawlty towers
Outnumbered. Just to name a few
 
The Walking Dead of course. Im a 25 year old rural Southern American male Libertarian gun owner. The Walking Dead is like my wet dream
 
So I'm addicted to this new show called Please Like Me. Josh Thomas wrote and stars in it and it's just about the most realistic television I've ever watched. Most of the dialogue sounds as if it wasn't even scripted and they're having conversations for real. It's unpretentious, awkward, and the best representation of generation Y in Australia that I've ever seen. Australians can watch it on ABC iview but if your overseas you'll probably have to find dodgier ways to watch it.
 
Too much information, Dude!

It should be for any self respecting Southerner/Texan (and yes you dudes are Southern or should I say Southern equals Texan in that Alabama/Texas have remarkably identical cultures)

I mean no government, none of the "conveniences" of modern life, frontier mentality, you get to shoot things, and its just you your wits and your rifle.
 
Because it has to do with the central theme of the Walking Dead which is about the only TV show I watch currently?
