As for mine...
Favorite animated series: The Simpsons (seasons 1-9), Futurama, Archer
Favorite non-animated series: The Wire, Northern Exposure, Freaks & Geeks
True, the sketches were scripted. But I guess I meant more to say a full episode scripted as one piece, rather than a collection of skits or sketches.
I love me some Star Trek too. Both series, but I enjoyed the campiness of the first series, and how they posed issues of the day in alien worlds. And the green ladies.
For animated, The Simpsons was amazing. I would submit that the original Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show was great too. And I wanted to list the original Peanuts shows, when Guaraldi was still alive and before Hallmark really changed Peanuts in the 70s. Those old shows were good stuff.
