When I read the question, I immediately thought "Heroes!", and then I was like "Wait a minute... Wasn't Friends on NBC?!"
So yeah, I pick Friends.

I don't think I even have to really explain how awesome this show is... how those six people seemed to keep me entertained for 10 whole seasons. Not one episode where I was like "This is boring.". Heroes on the other hand had a few of those episodes.
Yes, obviously it's much harder to do a drama 40min/episode series than a sitcom, but still... I have to go with Friends.
When the DVD's came out here in my country, I bought them all. All ten of them. I even got some kind of special Friends box to keep the DVD's in. I'm looking at them right now actually. lol

There have been lots of sitcoms over the years, but I don't think any of them have fallen even close to Friends.
The thing I liked best about it is how the actors work together so well, and they are so good at their job. All of them.
Even Gunther was an awesome character. He had like 10 lines in the whole show, but he was still so cool. lol
The way Phoebe was a bit of a ditz, and Joey was so *cough* not smart. And Chandler's "Could I be anymore funny?". And Ross' sad "Hi."s, and Rachel and Ross' relationship. "We were on a break! - No we weren't!" Monica's need to always be organized.
I'm laughing so hard right now, just writing all this.

The best part about the show (for me), though is that I can watch it so many times over and over and over and it never gets boring. This is definitely the kinda show you want to own on DVD!

And don't forget... Rachel and Ross were always meant to be together!

Do I need to say anymore? (Chandler style of course)

I see now we can do more than one entry

My all time favorite NBC show is Profiler
The best 'profiler' in my opinion was Ally Walker (Sam). Every week I tuned in to see if she would ever find and catch "Jack" the serial killer who has tormented her.
Agent Malone had a daughter whom he was ashamed of due to her prostitution. I loved seeing that relationship grow into her trusting her father and making the wise choice to quit.

Sam lost her husband at the hands of Jack, she was stalked by him for years. She was even kidnapped by him and held.

I really do miss the reruns of that show.

I'm going to have to say my favorite NBC show is Heroes. I just love seeing average everyday people change and become above average. Super humans are awesome!

I have to say the ER series is my favorite. I started watching the show when it first started. I can relate to the show because of the job I held for the longest time, which was Medical Transcription. I had to type ER reports and Radiology reports. Awesome show.

My favorite NBC show would be from the past - Cheers. Cheers was on during that prime run of Must See TV with The Cosby Show and was clearly the most well written sitcom during it's span. The jokes were funny, they swapped out characters with little to no effect (other than the sadness I think every fan felt when "Coach" passed away). The show never insulted its fans and the quality was probably as good at the end as it was in the beginning. Proving this was the best ending to a sitcom ever with a simple line, "We're closed".

My favorite show to air on NBC was Homicide: Life on the Street. It had a great cast, terrific writers and was unlike anything before it. The visual style and editing were unique as well.

favorite NBC show ever has to be...Battlestar Galactica...since it is almost guaranteed to run on NBC next year instead of SCI-FI

allierenee211 · 12-20-2007, 02:17 PM

Hmm, several to choose from...

I could say "Friday Night Lights", which is an absolute gem of a show.

Or "Heroes", a completely original and exciting show.

Or "ER", which I've watched from the beginning in '94.

But I have to go with "Friends", which gave us ten wonderfully perfect seasons of laughs, with a great list of guest starts.

And "Will & Grace" and "The Office" get honorable mentions.

My favorite show on NBC is definatly Heroes! It's one of the only shows I watch on Heroes and I love it! The first season was amazing with a interesting season long arc that intertwined the lives of so many interesting characters. It's also fun to watch all of the characters with new abilities and what the creators come up with.

My favourite NBC show would definately be Chuck, and I like it because I'm the kind of person that's hard to impress, but after I saw the first episode, I was totally hooked onto the show, it's an awesome show, and I love every aspect of it! =)
And I also like Heroes too, it's my second fav. show on NBC.
