Those series are often better than the description indicates.
Buffy is my all time favourite tv show and you could never have guessed from the description what quality the writing, acting and storylines were.
My fave show from this year was The Killing
Veggie, The Killing was great too
On my favourites list I'd put Mad Men [series 4] at no. 2 and The Killing close after at no.3.
Sarah Lund was such a great character... female characters on tv seem just so corny now, after her.
Another 'Killing' fan here. Did anyone see Sophie Grabol playing Lund in the Christmas 'Absolutely Fabulous' ?
I loved the big fat gypsie wedding programs (that was this year wasnt it ??? )
Hotel Inspector
3 in a bed
The restaurant inspector
Love thy neighbour !!!! (that were great *said in rita sue and bob two voice*)
Masterchef (the professionals)
Great British Bake off
My transexual summer (wonderful touching documentary)
This is england
and by far the best only thing on worth watching this xmas was Great Expectations.

Yes I did Avalon... wasn't it funny?
She spoke perfect english too, seemingly without an accent.
The Killing, by a tattie field.

I agree with these as the two drama highlights of the year. And Gillian Anderson was in both of these.
Mrs Jer and I were in the Heart Shop yesterday. As I carried my precious "Rage against the Machine!" CD, and Mrs Jer her Lee Childs novels towards the counter, the lady greeted us with, "Isn't the telly shite?"
It was hard to disagree but TBF it is shite every Christmas.

Umm was she in "Crimson" Loro?..*scratches head* I can't remember her? there were a fair few cameos though... Put me right ... but maybe you're thinking of her in Bleak House?
She's fantastic on BBC anyways
But most importanly - somebody agrees with me on The Crimson Petal and the White

It was funny, rosie. And I loved the way she was poking around in stuff like she does in 'The Killing'
I haven't watched much TV this year at all, I've just been doing marathons of various TV series' that I hadn't watched before. Dexter, 24, Sopranos, NCIS, NCIS LA and the best of them all Prison Break! I'm onto Without A Trace now which is pretty good.

I don't watch much TV. Partly because of my hearing and partly because the vast majority of it is so much dross. Thus if I do watch/listen it's got to be something really enjoyable. Generally not too long either, though I did watch/listen to the 6 hours of Pride and Prejudice the other day.
So, what have I watched this year.....?
Merlin
Dr Who
Masterchef
CSI
The Apprentice
Big Brother (boy, was that tough!)
Strictly Come Dancing
The odd film here or there

lol yeah so true Avalon...
Although... it did make me miss her...
If the BBC can put her in that, maybe....

I can't get into Dr Who!
Is it as good as they say now? I do like that Matt Smith. I couldn't stand the last scottishy-quiff-overacting one
Downton Abbey anyone?
Vampire Diaries!
READ THE BOOKS!!!
they are soooo much better than the tv series! READ THEM!!!
They freaked me right out! And were the inspiration for Ickles kitsune tattoo!
Fave TV programme has to be True Blood!
I knew no-one else would mention this one. Celebrity Apprentice USA, it was totally riveting.
I've stopped watching the Soaps so that's left me with plenty of time for other dross: Big Bro, Z Factor, Strictly etc. All froth and bubble stuff which was made more enjoyable by nattering in the highlight threads.
I've enjoyed Downton Abbey and the recent Great Expectations 3 parter mainly because they're a bit of light drama. Always caught up with the Graham Norton Show, HIGNFY and I tried out The Cafe on Sky 1 but that was a real slow burner which never really got going. Other than that, I've been dipping in to BBC4 and watching a few music biogs.

Aww, David Tennant wasn't THAT bad, surely?
I have to admit I was a bit dubious about Matt Smith. But he was great, right from the start. He plays it quite quirky. but doesn't overdo it, IMO. I like it.
Last year I enjoyed
Greys Anatomy
Pan Am
Big Love
Sex and the City (for the nostalgia)
Strictly
Criminal Minds
The Hotel Inspector
Star Trek - (any and all series... I indulge when I can)

Maybe I should give David Tennant a try.?
In The Man Utd Munich Disaster footie drama... he was very good, surprised me actually
