It's no wonder this show is used for discussions in philosophy classes across the country!

Beautiful series about the romance between a South Korean socialite and a North Korean military captain.

I put this performance up with the best of Meryl Streep, Helen Mirren, and Cate Blanchett

- StarsJo Jung-SukYoo Yeon-seokJung Kyung-hoHospital Playlist tells the story of five doctors who have been friends since they entered medical school in 1999.Easily one of the best ensemble casts of all time in this series about five medical doctors--each with their own specialty--who come together once a month to sing. The series also asks and tackles deep questions of the medical profession.

Incredible series on the subject!
- StarsShin Min-aKim Seon-hoGina SuA big-city dentist opens up a practice in a close-knit seaside village, home to a charming jack-of-all-trades who is her polar opposite in every way.My favorite opposites-attract romance. No cliches or silly melodramatic moments as a high society dentist moves to a small seaside town and tries to adapt to a new way of life.
- StarsRobert PowellOlivia HusseyLaurence OlivierBeginning before the Nativity and extending through the Crucifixion and Resurrection, this mini-series brings to life all of the sweeping drama in the life of Jesus, as told by the Gospels.Still the quintessential series about the life of Jesus. No other film or series has captured the master so beautifully.
- StarsLucille BallDesi ArnazVivian VanceThe wife of a band leader constantly tries to become a star - in spite of her having no talent, and gets herself (along with her best friend) into the funniest predicaments.Simply one of the best comedy series ever made with the quintessential comedian in Lucille Ball. Even to this day, this series never gets old.
- CreatorRichard LevinsonWilliam LinkStarsPeter FalkMike LallyJohn FinneganLos Angeles homicide detective Lieutenant Columbo uses his humble ways and ingenuous demeanor to winkle out even the most well-concealed of crimes.Only Sherlock Holmes and Inspector Morse can be mentioned in the same breath as a seemingly bumbling and inept detective solves murder cases with pure brains and wit
- CreatorDavid ShoreStarsHugh LaurieOmar EppsRobert Sean LeonardUsing a crack team of doctors and his wits, an antisocial maverick doctor specializing in diagnostic medicine does whatever it takes to solve puzzling cases that come his way.Hugh Laurie won over the world with his depiction of a genius diagnostician with a horrible (I loved it!) bedside manner!

Enterprise-D on its own mission to go where no one has gone before.While TOS is still my favorite, this show is the best series ever done with great stories, great special effects (helps to have a decent budget!), and some of the best episodes in Star Trek history.
