Another X-Files fan! I was genuinely obsessed with it when I was about 12-13. I've still got all the series in boxsets now. God, I love it. Didn't watch the newest film or the comeback series, though. I don't watch loads of TV these days, but my top 5 would be:

1. Psychoville

2. Black Books

3. The Simpsons

4. The X-Files

5. Stressed Eric

 
I think Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny made for one of the best acting pairs in TV history, they worked amazingly well. And I like the more humourous episodes from, say, the sixth series. But some of my favourite episodes are from the more serious earlier series. That episode called 'Squeeze', with Eugene something as a liver-eating, shape-shifting monster. Top stuff!

Although the main plots, involving the Cigarette Smoking Man, they were a bit too... in-depth for me sometimes.

 
My favorites are

The Walking Dead

Sons of Anarchy

Breaking Bad

Dexter (seasons 1-5; show really tanked after that)

True Blood

i have a few more favs but those are probably my top 5 fav

 
1.  House of Cards.  "I love that woman.  I love her more than sharks love blood."

2.  Breaking Bad.  "Science!  F*CK yeah!!"

3.  Game of Thrones.  "Your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth."

4.  Billions. "The only enemy more dangerous than a man with unlimited resources is one with nothing to lose.  And that's who you're looking at right here."

5.  Baskets.   Chip aka "Baskets," the most neurotic rodeo clown ever to clown a rodeo and who still lives with his mom (played fabulously by Louie Anderson), with his maybe-girlfriend Martha at the drive-thru:

"DRIVE THRU: Welcome to Que Rico. Can I take your order?

MARTHA: What do you want?

CHIP: Uh, tangerine Fanta, please.

MARTHA: Um, tangerine Fanta, please.

DRIVE THRU: Uh, we do not have that.

MARTHA: Um, they do not have that.

CHIP: Tab is fine.

MARTHA: Um, just a Tab then.

DRIVE THRU: No.

MARTHA: No.

CHIP: Pepsi Lime.

MARTHA: Pepsi Lime?

DRIVE THRU: We have Coke.

MARTHA: They have Coke.

CHIP: New or classic?

MARTHA: Is it new or classic?

DRIVE THRU: Just regular Coke.

CHIP: Okay, Schweppe's then. Schweppe's.

MARTHA: Okay, just a Schweppe's then.

DRIVE THRU: Did you say Schweppe's?

MARTHA: Schweppe's?

CHIP: Schweppe's.

MARTHA: Yeah, Schweppe's.

DRIVE THRU: You're breaking up. Say it one more time.

MARTHA & CHIP: Schweppe's.

DRIVE THRU: Sorry, I heard two people.

MARTHA: Okay, Schweppe's.

DRIVE THRU: Say it again?

CHIP: Schweppe's! It's a Schweppe's! Can I be over there please? You don't know what you're doing.

[Martha backs up and turns the car around]

DRIVE THRU: Welcome to Que Rico. Can I take your order?

CHIP: Do you have any milk water like a Yoo Hoo?

DRIVE THRU: We don't have that.

CHIP: Anything from the Slice family?

DRIVE THRU: Don't have it.

CHIP: Anything from the Welch's family?

DRIVE THRU: No.

CHIP: Do you have anything that has any kind of Baja blast in it whether it be Mountain Dew, Pepsi, anything?

DRIVE THRU: Again, no, sir.

CHIP: I'll just take a water then."

Dexter was great up until season 5, it just got ridiculous afterwards! For my US members, or anyone who has seen it, I recently started the Shield, not sure of it yet, watched first 5 episodes and I'm usually happy by then, I'm not unhappy, just a few little things irritating me. That doesn't look like a cop shop for starters!

 
I guess I should add Shameless to my list even though it makes for 6 shows lol . But the US version. Haven't seen the UK version though. 

 
(no particular order)

1. Black Mirror 

2. Mr Robot

3. The Leftovers

4. The night of

5. Narcos

All great. They just came to my mind, but The Leftovers is probably my favorite. So underrated.

I agree. The chemistry and often more comedic episodes, were very enjoyable. I had Squeeze on video (Remember them?) That guy was bloody creepy...

Series 2 was my favourite. Quite weird! 

The cigarette smoking man was cruel but cool - hey, a rhyme! ?

I think I've still got some old video tapes and, funnily enough, Squeeze was one of them. I think it was a two-episode video, with the 'sequel' to Squeeze. That was the one where that 'alien thing' Eugene ate people's livers, went into hibernation, then did it all again. Bloody brilliant, haha. I've got the first film on video as well. I sort of ignored the reboot film, and reboot series. Just...nah... don't watch too much TV these days anyway.

Cigarette smoking man was just too cool. But I always sort of dreaded his appearances, because it always meant the return of the very obscure central plot to the X Files. Maybe I'd think differently now, since I watched it a lot when I was younger, but the main plot just bloody baffled me. I always preferred the standalone episodes.

 
Breaking Bad

The Sopranos

Trailer Park Boys

Eastbound and Down

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

  1. S @ soupson: What happened to chem genie?
  2. D @ drdrizzy13: LSU is trash and has always been trash but a night game in death valley is unlike anything I've experienced. Except the first game back to the superdome reopened after Katrina destroyed it. Everybody was crying and drunk as shit lol. All time favorite in person sports moment ever.
  3. M @ meepmoopmeep: Kiffin is a traitor and he and LSU deserve each other since they’re both complete trash
  4. D @ drdrizzy13: yea he's a joke lol. Can't stand him.
  5. L @ Layne_Cobain: You know who rly sucks…lane kiffin 😂 dude is all that’s wrong with college sports or at least a big chunk of it…and he lied about being told he could still coach ole miss in the playoffs
  6. D @ drdrizzy13: Hey at least Ole Miss got in. I can't stand LSU. They really sucked this year.
  7. M @ meepmoopmeep: as an A&M fan I’m content with us missing the SECCG for that reason. Georgia about to fuck Alabama up
  8. D @ drdrizzy13: Yeah I agree if bama loses I think they are out. That would be 3 losses. I don't see a 3 loss team getting in this year.
  9. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah that’s why sark was pleading his case about that Texas shouldn’t be punished for scheduling a non conference game against the best team and losing if they hadn’t done that they’d probably be in but oh well way it goes there’s always gonna be a few teams who get robbed or feel they got robbed even with a 12 team playofff…if bama loses to Georgia I’d think they’d be out but who knows
  10. D @ drdrizzy13: Alabama also lost to Florida State pretty bad. Whom Florida beat. I just think if they didn't decide to play ohio state the first game. They would be in with 2 losses instead of Alabama.
  11. M @ meepmoopmeep: @drdrizzy13 Texas lost to Florida of all teams, they weren’t heading for the playoffs anyways imo. At least not this year
  12. D @ drdrizzy13: Texas is offically out of the playoffs they didn't make the top 12. I do wish they were in it. They showed up against Texas AM. But there fatal flaw was scheduling Ohio State for their opening. Which would have been great if they won but they are a 3 loss team now.
  13. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah idk about arch I could see him staying with Sark for another year but if he plays rly well in the playoff who knows that is if they get in
  14. D @ drdrizzy13: Man a lot of Saints fan want Arch but I think he said he is playing another year. I would take him probably. But if Texas AM QB comes out or Ohio State's I think you gotta take one if your picking top 2.
  15. L @ Layne_Cobain: Is the qb class supposed to be stacked or thin for draft in April I follow college ball but I can’t think right now I think there’s def at least a few high potential qb declaring
  16. D @ drdrizzy13: Right now I believe we pick 2nd. ATM.
  17. D @ drdrizzy13: At first I figured he might be able to do something but our position players suck. We are playing a rookie QB. O-line sucks. It needs to be blown up. I hope we tank for the first pick
  18. L @ Layne_Cobain: Hopefully you guys maybe find a solid qb option in the draft you should end up with a very good pick
  19. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah dude Moore def does not seem like the guy for yall need to clean house
  20. D @ drdrizzy13: I should say our receivers suck
