There Can Be Only One...TV Show


Television

Liberty's Edge

If you could only watch one TV show per year, what would it be?

You can only select shows currently in production (at the time of your posting; and I emphasize not to yell, but because someone is bound to name Buffy, or Farscape, or Firefly, or any number of very awesome but canceled shows), which includes cable programs that run counter to standard US network seasons.

Sovereign Court

Oh man that is difficult. For me probably a split between Showtime's Borgias and HBO's True Detective. I rolled odd/even and it came up True Detective.

Honorable mention.
Ray Donovan
Game of thrones
Walking dead

On the fence:
Almost Human
Dr. Who

Extreme long shot:
Defiance
Sons of Anarchy


Farscape

You can only select shows currently in production. You can't pick Farscape the same way I can't pick The Twilight Zone.

Yeap. In b4 firefly.

ARROW!


Game of Thrones then. Or maybe Doctor Who, if they stop splitting the seasons.

I can pick Farscape as long as I have discs to watch. :-)

The Supernatural Arrow of The Almost Human Walking Dead.

That's a show, right?

Game of Thrones. Sherlock.


Rats. I forgot about Almost Human.

The Daily Show. At the very least I want the news from a source I can trust.


Game of Thrones.

The Exchange

Game of Thrones


Blargh.

Okay, I'm going to go out on a limb and say Black Sails, because it's new, original (unlike GoT which is still following the books, more or less,) and it started strong so it's likely to only get better as it goes on.


Supernatural.

Honorable Mention: The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones

Have not checked it out yet. However, if you are being ballsy enough to nominate it consider my interest piqued.

The Exchange

Easy. I pick Community.

Dark Archive

Considering the title of this thread, how can anyone pick any show but Teen Wolf? Executive produced and directed by Russel Mulcahy, it has turned out to be a really good show.


It'd be a toss-up between Doctor Who and Justified.

Not so easy on my end, there's a lot of contenders for the title. But at the end of the day, I think Community will emerge from the pillow fort victorious.

Plus, if you pick community, you also get Inspector Spacetime, for free. It's like a 2 for 1.


Adventure Time.


Arrow.

Was a toss up between Arrow, GoT, and The Walking Dead. But I've just about had my fill of zombies and I can always re-read the GoT books.

Gravity Falls.


Sesame Street. It helps kids learn.

Yeah I think I'm going to change my answer to this.


På Spåret. (Swedish geography/general knowledge-based quiz show).

Liberty's Edge

I should mention--in this game everyone else in the world gets to enjoy the deluge of programming, so you don't have to pick shows based on the good of others. Pick the show you personally like so much you'd be willing to be restricted to only that show for the duration of the year.


Game of Thrones, hands-down.


Person of Interest, no question.

Honorable Mention:
- Almost Human
- Grimm
- Agents of SHIELD
