Default Favorite American Show.

I'm curious as to know what are you (Brits) liking at the moment? What's your favorite show from here.

My favorite shows here are Heroes, Lost, The Office (US), Late Night With Conan O'Brien, Family Guy, and Robot Chicken.

West Wing (shame it's finished)
24
Scrubs
Two and a Half Men
South Park (genius television)
Family Guy
American Dad
Simpsons (as always!)
Lost
Firefly (just watched the series on DVD again recently)

I'm sure there's more but I can't remember. I saw a little bit of the US version of the Office, but really couldn't watch it. Sorry to all the americans out there, but it was terrible TV.

My bro recommended Heroes to me but I don't know when or where it is being shown in the UK.

The newer episodes are much more hilarious.

Probably because basically The Office US copied the Office UK up until the UK was through.

Cheers Markus. This Heroes show seems to be getting a bit of a following and like I said my bro had mentioned it to me over christmas (he'd seen downloaded episodes). I'm looking forward to it.

One other show I'm liking at the moment is Bones on Sky One. It has that sexual tension between the two lead characters that the classic early X-Files shows had (before it all went downhill) And much like X-Files, although Gillian Anderson wasn't your typical drop-dead gorgeous woman, there was something very sexy about her. I'm starting to see something similar in Emily Deschanel!

Oh I don't like that show. It's too dramatically silly...or humorously dramatic. Whichever one. Haha.

I'm guessing my wife and children is my wife and kids.

I've never seen Desire, though.

I agree with most of your list despite Kyle XY and Ghost Whisperer!

South Park and Futurama are absolutely hilarious!
