    Father Ted
    The Simpsons(of course)
    Family Guy
    Trigger Happy TV
    The Office
    I started watching Six Feet Under a few days ago and damn it's good.
    Never Mind the Buzzcocks
    Invader Zim
    Sometimes there can be good documentaries shown, I remember seeing two RTÉ documentaries, one on the homeless, the other on boys in reform schools, both made in the sixties, and they were really interesing.
    More:
    Futurama
    Have I Got News for You
    That program on RTÉ, not sure if it's Reeling in the Years, where they talk about what happened in Ireland in a certain year.
    Harry Enfield and Chums
    Fawlty Towers
    Frasier
    Grounded for Life
    Early Saved by the Bell, before it got dramatic and rubbishy
    Buffy the Vampire Slayer
    Early Sabrina, before all of the characters became generic and annoying. Basically, Sabrina before Jenny left.

    (Note, instead of regurgitating what has already been said, I shall mention new shows.)

    I likes:
    The West Wing
    Scrubs (On right now)
    The Osbournes
    The older Friends episodes
    Oz (Teh ghey secks. No seriously, there is ghey secks)
    Dilbert
    I watch Star Trek sometimes. Nowhere near as much as I did when I was 12.
    World Rally Championship
    Formula 1
    Futurama
    The vast majority of the History channel, which really should be renamed the War channel.

    I'll add more later, when I have time.

    hrmmm....

    teachers was great for the first series, then they got rid of simon and the sarcastic slightly dark (incredibly attractive, not so much physically but in genera) woman in it, and its **** now.

    The documentaries they have on rte1, that were made in the 70's and are about craftsmanship....they really insterest me for some reason.

    That 70's show
    Have I Got News For You
    Invader Zim
    Dilbert (Memory jogged by Hugh)
    Star Trek The Next Generation (The only good one. Voyager was ****ty action scenes the whole time. And they over did the whole combining big words to make bigger words that make absolutely no sense)
    Fraiser
    Futurama
    Father Ted
    Nightman (Though it's been a while since I've seen it)
    South Park (People say it's not witty just foul mouthed, but I think it's pretty smart)
    That program on TV3 late at night about paranormal things going on, and they tell you if they were true or false. It's hosted by number one from Star Trek the Next Generation. Anyone know it?

    Aye it's Ripleys Believe it or not. The other one is exactly the same only without Jonathan Frakes. But it is the Ripley one.

    I HATE IT when something doesn't do what it does on TV, like the transformers toys, and that toothpaste that in the ads produced a brushing sound while not brushing for 6+ hours, but in real life didn't!
