[quote name='bmulligan']Jesus christ people, what are you all 20 years old or younger? Will and Grace? best show ever? Does this even qualify as entertainment?
Really guys, I love a lot of television shows and have many favorites throught my years of worshiping the magical picture box, but there are few shows that transcend pure entertainment time wasting and actually contain enough substantive content to jog that grey piece of flesh that dangles between your eardrums.
The best television show of all time was The Prisoner. A BBC television show that lasted only 16 episodes and enjoyed many a syndication run in the US in years past. A retired secret agent, kidnapped and forced to live in "the Village", a prototype fabricated community built to break an agent , discover his loyalties, and extract sensitive information has to be the best concept for a TV show in history. You must watch this show. It's intelligent, philisophical wordplay is unchallenged in the entertainment medias, save only a few masterpieces like The Lion In Winter (movie).
Video games already suck out the soul and thwart your cranial fortitude. You should introduce some thought provoking content in an otherwise juvenile jungle of picture shows.[/quote]
