Just to add, FULL HOUSE is probably the best sitcom ever. It will probably be the sitcom that ages the best over time as well, since it's always been pretty awesome bad.

NEWS RADIO was excellent.
COSBY SHOW still makes me laugh, even the cousin Pam episodes.
ROSEANNE had a great run until DJ hit puberty.
FRIENDS is a great instant flashback to 90's fashion and has some good moments.

@Limewater

we dont have localization of anything, we just buy the American version. Actually, whatever DVDs they sell here is probably bought off the shelf from Walmart or Amazon, added 100-150% profit margin over the retail price in America, and put on shelves here.

TV shows get subtitles, Voice overs sucks like...like you regret watching the show.

Why do you think friends sucks...i thought it was funny

His character in Californication fucks anything that moves. I'm sure that would include X-files fans, so yes. Some people claim that Hank Moody (his character) is a little too close to how Duchovny is in real life. I enjoy the show because he is so ridiculously cool and disgustingly terrible all at the same time. It's poignant & intelligent one minute, the juvenile and offensive the next. I love the brilliant chaos of it.

So what you're saying is that his character is exactly like Duchovny is in real life?

I don't really think the first season of TNG could really be considered "high quality." It got a lot better, though.

Yeah I'd agree on that. I love TNG but the first season of most shows aren't always awesome except when you're watching it the first time through. Then you watch it on re-runs and you're like, "hmmmmmmmmm okay. Season 2 starts when?" :lol:

Yeah. At first I was thinking Friends, but when I got to blurb for 6th season it was all X-Files.
