Favorite Live Action Series
List your favorite live action series. Can be a complete or only partial list.
In no particular order: Xena Warrior Princess - Lucy Lawless is frikking awesome. Hercules - Kevin Sorbo, also awesome. I watched these two shows almost religiously. Frasier - Comedy at its finest. And it was smart to boot. Becker - I think this predated House for the grumpy doctor bit. And I like it better. Pushing Up Daisies - Why we're no longer getting this I don't know. It was charming. Fringe - Possibly best new show currently. The Tick - For a while there FOX (it was FOX right?) was constantly trying out new shows, none of which stuck. From the few episodes I saw, this should have. Andy Richter Controls the Universe - Seriously, something must've been wrong with the station if it kept dropping this stuff. And they brought back Family Guy? I can't even bother with Family Guy now, my brain cells have finally started to revolt. How I Met Your Mother - Funny. The Adventures of Pete & Pete - Anyone remember when Nickelodeon did good live action shows? The Secret World of Alex Mack - Girl who could turn into water puddle thing. Pretty interesting actually. Land of the Lost - Family trapped in dinosaur time/land/dimension/something. 90's version. Space Cases - Also on Nick at around the time of these other shows. So Weird - Disney this time. Wonderful series. Love paranormal stuff. Surprising how many of my faves were kid shows. Edit: Also, Clarissa Explains It All and Kenan & Kel.

Coming up with a list? Nearly impossible! But based only on what I thought was worth it to buy on DVD alone....
* The Avengers (The Emma Peel years with the Cathy Gale years a close second. Never did warm up to Tara King) * The Man from UNCLE * The Wild, Wild, West * NCIS * Firefly * Farscape * Burn Notice * The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. * Doctor Who (Classic Series AND New Series) * The Real Ghostbusters (animated series and some of the BEST writing for an animated series in the 1980's) * Batman: The Animated Series * Superman: the Animated Series * Justice League and Justice League Unlimited

Stargate SG-1 for me its a show that stayed consistently top notch (even liked it after season 8)
I have this theorie of the Stargate shows SG1 is basicly a more polished version of Star Trek Atlantis is a more polished version of SG1 Univers is a more polished of Atlantis

The Muppet Show
The Daily Show The Colbert Report This Hour Has 22 Minutes: in its prime, it was just as good or better than the above two.
