Top 5: TV Shows

1. ER (1994-2009)
The best TV show ever! No other show can have you laughing out loud and then reduce you to tears within 5 minutes. The glory days of the original stars were amazing, sure it dipped in quality occasionally but they still no how to deliver breathtaking television. Looking forward to a great final season.

2. Doctor Who, new series (2005-present)
The reinvention of Dr Who, was the best thing on the BBC in the last decade. David Tennant has taken the show into new levels of quality and i'm looking forward to what his replacement can do

3. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993-1999)
It's really hard to pinpoint one Star Trek series as Voyager was amazing when on form, naff when not. The Next Generation was a stand out, but Deep Space Nine, as a television series is surprisingly good. The story arch is used to great effect with the Dominion War and it really does flow very well and upon repeat viewing is brilliant.

4. Will and Grace (1998-2006)
It's arguably more mature than Friends, and although doesn't have the mass appeal, the comedy is quality. Megan Mullaneys character of Karen is probably one of the best modern female comedy creations ever!

5. Friends (1994-2004)
I was tempted to go for another Star Trek, or my love for X Factor, but there is no denying the groundbreaking Friends. The impact on modern culture is undeniable and i think will be the one show we all remember when we're on our deathbed
