I agree with a lot of those already mentioned, especially the adult cartoons, of which SOUTH PARK is the best I reckon.

TWIN PEAKS - yep, watched it religiously.

TRAILER PARK BOYS - say no more.

But the first one I thought of, which hasn't been mentioned to now, is THE SOPRANOS, which I think is my favourite of all time.

Kvagga, puni puni poemi is only 2 x 30 minutes, and should be watched as a dessert on top of the 26 eps of Excel Saga. Trust me, you'll have fun. ;)

There's plenty of great anime out there, I haven't seen too many series from beginning to end, but many people would propose at least Neon Genesis Evangelion and Cowboy Bebop as something beyond regular television. I would agree, from the few episodes I've seen.

Twin Peaks I completely forgot about, although I still haven't seen beyond the first season. Being a Lynch nut, I can't believe I've let it slide. I have them on DVD somewhere.

But what I needed to add is EVERYTHING BY/WITH DAVID ATTENBOROUGH, from the 80's to the present day. Thank you BBC.

I've already seen the whole Neon Genesis Evangelion series and a couple of episodes, plus the movie for Cowboy Bebop. Good stuff, good stuff. NGE is one serious challenge for the brain and I'm not sure I got it all myself, but definately a good series. BTW, watched those 6 episodes of FLCL too and truly enjoyed it. Now off to get (cough*torrent*cough) Excel Saga... :)

I don't think Season 6 has been on TV in the UK yet, so I still have it to look forward to.
