Avengers and Spooks are ’cool TV’
2004-02-17
Nothing like a "Best Of" list to inspire well reasoned discourse:
The Avengers, Miami Vice and BBC hit Spooks have been included on a list of the "coolest" TV programmes ever made. The decades-spanning list, published in this week’s Radio Times, extends from political drama The West Wing to cult shows like Twin Peaks and The Prisoner.
"At its best cool TV makes you want to leap from your armchair and shout ’Yes! I want to live like that,’" said Radio Times TV editor Alison Graham. "It makes you think, ’I want to wear sunglasses to work and walk down corridors in slow motion!’"
"I want to nail a different hot chick every week!"
Here is the list in full, in alphabetical order:
The Avengers (1961-69)
Mrs. Peel in her leather cat suit, sigh!
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2001-)
If you like hot chicks at room temperature
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (1965-68)
They had the coolest toys
Miami Vice (1985-90)
And yes, I had a white jacket, why do you ask?
Murder One (1996-97)
Huh?
The Prisoner (1967-68)
Number Six, your Balloon of Death is waiting
Queer as Folk (1999)
Don’t ask
The Saint (1962-69)
Very cool
Seinfeld (1993-2001)
Very funny, but not cool. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
The Sopranos (1999-)
Tony will be happy
Spooks (2002-)

State of Play (2003-)

Twin Peaks (1990-91)
Strange, not cool
The West Wing (1999-)
It’s a BBC list, what can I say.
