Your Top Ten TV Show - Not in order...

Law & Order SVU
Hawaii 5.0
2.5 men
The Walking Dead
Ridiculousness
Wheeler Dealer - Some shows not all
Awake
Grimm
Parenthood
CSI: NY
 
I'm going to slightly change my old Top 10, as Dexter gets the boot for Breaking Bad. Caught up on all four seasons in the span of six weeks and can't wait for S05. Had to pick my jaw up off the floor a few times.

I'd love to rate Walking Dead, as I've been enjoying watching it, but mostly on the promise it'll become a good show. So much potential, but I feel like the hype is a bit undeserved still.
 
What year is it? Where's Max Hedroom

Ha, what exactly was Max Headroom about? :dunce:
 
It was all about Max Headroom, duh.

Computer generated personality, scanned off of a guy who was dead... but then was not... and the last thing the guy saw before he was brain scanned was a parking barrier, with the words... you guessed it... "Max. Headroom" stenciled on it...

It was weird, it was funky, it was a comedy adventure series. It thankfully/sadly died a quick death.
 
Lots of great answers here, mine:

Firefly
Six Feet Under
Parks and Rec
Seinfeld
Doctor Who
Battlestar Galactica
Game of Thrones
Dexter
Big Bang Theory
Antiques Roadshow

mentions:
True Blood
Dollhouse
Buffy
Startrek Next Gen
MacGyver
Arrested D
MASH
Dead Like Me
Babylon 5

And left off the list, Anime and Top Gear

Edit: haha, was just thinking Max Headroom maybe too, just saw the above posts (only looked at first page before posting...)

Edit 2: and just looked through the rest of the thread. Danoff and prisonermonkeys are both geniuses.

Community - if you don't watch this show please, it is brilliant

Breaking Bad

Arrested Development

Chappelle's Show - Best

Top Gear (UK)

The Walking Dead - hope it picks up from season 2 and not every character is crap

Futurama

My little pony friendship is magic - this show is unexplainable. Once you get past the, why am I watching this? stage, you will become addicted. I don't love this show like crazy, but it makes you forget about the world and brings joy to me whenever I see it.

Avatar The Last Airbender - probably the greatest show to ever come off of a kids network. The plot is complex, and is very story driven, with well done Kung foo style fighting.

Supercross on Speed - Motocross is really the most exciting form of any modern racing. I wait every weekend for races.

That's good. I like that.

I'm still having trouble with something like Battlestar vs. Firefly, or something like 24 vs. MASH.

24 was one of the best shows I've ever seen, but it could only keep it up for the first 12 episodes. How do I rate that against a show that hit a high mark for 1000 times longer?

I guess this is my list:
- Dexter
- SouthPark
- The Simpsons
- Firefly
- Cowboy Bebop
- Seinfeld
- Battlestar (mini series, season 1)
- House
- Top Gear
- Can't pick based on too many shades of gray... maybe X-Files.

I'm caught up with Dexter, and I have to bump it up the list. I think at this point it is the best show in the history of television. Southpark has had higher highs, but it has also had far lower lows.

Revised. Breaking bad is now what I'd consider to the best best television show in the history of television. Dexter had higher highs and lower lows. Dexter still has the best single season of any television show.
 
Miami vice
Sledge Hammer (can't believe nobody mentioned this one)
Lost
Breaking Bad
Carnivale
Twin Peaks
Coupling (uk)
The office (uk)
The Hunger

I watched the first season of Dexter and couldn't believe it ended the way I thought it was going to end at around episode 4. So I watched the second season and it ended more or less exactly (I got the victim order wrong) as I thought it would by episode 2. I watched the first episode of season 3, guessed an ending and looked it up on Wikipedia...

Breaking Bad, meanwhile, I lasted for just the pilot. Couldn't stand it.


At the moment my favourite two shows are Person of Interest (which is unbelievably good) and Criminal Minds - but other than POI solidly crowning my list of all-time shows, I'm not sure how to juggle my top ten any more!
 
1. Game of Thrones
2. Breaking Bad
3. Better Call Saul (Soo far)
4. Walking dead
5. Suits
6. Seinfeld
7. Last Week Tonight (allthough technically not a show like the others).
8.Top Gear UK
9. Family Guy(but getting tired of it now)
10. Sopranos



Vince Gilligan and his team of writers are the best in the business tbh, whilst I think Game of thrones is a better series and better written it has the advantage of being based on a book that has taken many years to plan its plot, once it surpasses the books story and has to make it's own direction that is when it will be tested as a series.

I watched a Random Episode of Person of interest and I liked it, but I just want to know is it episode by episode based series or story line?

It's basically a single storyline. There are character and plot arcs, but they interconnect - standalone episodes (like the one with Alan Dale as an ex-Stasi operative) are vanishingly rare.
 
1- Friendzone
2- Catfish TV Show
3- Pimp my Ride
4- Kitchen's Nightmares
5- Top Gear
6- The Simpsons
7- Wipeout
8- Hell's Kitchen
9- Breaking Amish
10- Fear Factor

That's my Top 10 TV Shows.
 
My Top 10:

10: CSI Miami
9: NCIS:LA
8: CSI
7: NCIS
6: CSI:NY
5: Gotham:
4: Top Gear
3: The Blacklist
2: Doctor Who
1: Castle
