I see lots of threads praising this show and bagging that show, but I haven’t seen a straight forward thread about peoples favorites. My absolute favorite show on TV right now is American Choppers on Discovery channel. I just can’t get enough of that show. I love the interaction between Paul Jr and Sr and the bikes they make are amazing. Coming in a close second is Daily Show tied with the Chappel Show. Both are good shows but they each have weak point. DS is really good until the interviews start, then it kinda dies down. Chappel show is good but the only thing holding that one back is the stand up bits between skits. Seinfeld had the same problem early on but dropped them in one of the early seasons. What is your favorite show? ---

Only shows I plan my schedule around: Friends Simpsons Trading Spaces Iron Chef (Used to love American Idol, but since Kimberley got cut last week I don’t know if I can watch anymore. She looks just like my sister, if my sister was black.) ---

King of the Hill The characters are very real seeming, and yet the situations that happen on the show are some of the most bizarre in television. Bobby gets addicted to chicken livers and gets gout. Peggy’s chute fails to open when skydiving. Hank gets mistaken for a pimp and confronts a white pimp named Alabaster Jones from Oklahoma City who is voiced by Snoop Dogg. Great show. ---

Unfortunately, _John Doe_ looks like it’s going to be canceled after the first season. What a shame; that was a great show. ---

I love the West Wing and Ed, but they’re both done for the season. I’ve recently become a big fan of Lucky on FX. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-favorite-current-tv-show-right-now/175998.md?page=2)
