This is the home to what show's have made your life more enjoyable. Place your top 10 in here, and then go to the TV Chat to talk and brawl about who's choices are right. Please keep this place for only the top 10 lists of everyone who posts.
1. "LOST" of course..What other show could it be? And I wold have never hooked up with all of you great people without it.
2. Stargate SG-1.. Love eveything about it. It's Sci-Fi with some possible things that happen.
3. Farscape.. The best unknown Sci-fi show ever. The whole cast is awsome.
4. Mash..Classic sitcom that tries to show much more than just the funny. They made it Ok to want to know what happened during a war.
5. Dog The Bounty Hunter...My one Reality based show I like. He wants nothing more than to clean the criminals off the streets to make the world a better place to live. Then after catching the criminal he will show the mercy that makes him unique, and tries to help the person better themselves.
6. The Family Guy....Stewie Rocks...Nuff said...well....Giggity Giggity Goo
7. History Channel.... There's rarely a time I won't watch it. Learning about something every day makes me feel good.
8. Band of Brothers...Love the title..It really does tell you everything about the show. I'd heard things about them before the show, and I'd love to be able to meet any and all of them that are still alive. Just to shake their hands and say thank you.
9. NFL.....Any day...any teams. My one passion beyond my family.
10. TNA / WWE..my last vestige of useless TV watching. I'll never stop watching it. It's the Soap Opera for Men.
1. Lost of course, it's great show and i've met some great peeps as a result :D
2. Law and Order:SVU, my favorite of all of them, great stories every week.
3. The x-Files, watched it from the first season to the last show, my first introduction to crazy obsessed fandom
4. Northern Exposure, a late great quirky show that was never dull, had great characters and strange plots. My kind of show
5. La Femme Nikita, a pre Alias spy show with great mythology and intricate plots. And the characters were sometimes just as much of a mystery as the plots themselves.
6. Family Guy, DAMN YOU ALL!! nuff said
7. South Park, rude, crude and funny as all hell
8. Homicide: Life on the Streets, one of the best cops shows ever IMO
9. That 70's Show, until it's ridiculous last season it was the only sitcom that made me laugh every week, other than Raymond that is.
10. Cheers, still the best comedy ensemble in IMO
that's it for now

More from me on Lost and other things at my Livejournal
ok, this is gonna be hard...i'm going with these 10 for now, but i reserve the right to change my mind later LOL
1. LOST - for obvious reasons
2. CSI: NY - it's still a CSI show, but it mixes things up a little and isn't just a copy of the original.
3. General Hospital - my #1 Soap. I've been keeping up with the crew in Port Charles for about 15 years. Yikes!
4. MASH - a true classic. My fav episode has to be the finale.
5. China Beach - kind of like MASH for another generation. I was totally addicted to this when it came out.
6. South Park - so unlike anything else on TV at the time. The first couple of season will always be my favorites though.
7. King of the Hill - so funny and my hubby can do a perfect Hank Hill
8. Beavis & Butthead - loved it when I was in college. My Mom even watched it and could do Cornholio. Heh, she would kill me if she knew I just put that on the internet. LOL
9. Monty Python - timeless comedy
10. Are You Being Served? - my introduction to British comedy, still lmao at this show
I cried, "Oh, Lady Midnight, I fear that you grow old, the stars eat your body and the wind makes you cold." "If we cry now," she said, "it will just be ignored."
1. LOST - This is the first show that I've been so into with the chatting, theories, spoilers, etc.
2. Quantum Leap - I loved the concept of this show and it reminds me of Lost because it was like watching a mini-movie every week with new characters and storylines.
3. MASH - I was too young to fully appreciate this show when it was on, but loved it later through re-runs.
4. Early Edition - Another striving to right what was wrong show!
5. Scrubs - Cracks me up! They always throw in some sweet sentimental stuff though that makes it different from sitcoms.
6. Newsradio- Another one that cracked me up. Phil Hartman was so funny. (I don't know why they tried to go on after he died.)
7. Friends/Less Than Perfect/How I Met Your Mother - They all tie for just being silly randomness.
8. $40 Dollars A Day - Rachel Ray has my dream job. Traveling all over the world and getting paid to eat at amazing restaurants.
9. Who's Line is it Anyway? - Amazing improv skills.
10. Late Night with Conan O'Brien - He's such a dork and I like it! I like celebrity interviews too (especially when the Losties are on! )
4. Quantum Leap. My mom and I used to watch this all the time
5. Brady Bunch/Full House
6. Facts of Life/Different Strokes
7. My So Called Life
8. Sex in the City
9. Friends
10. Would be a tie between Cheers, Frasier, and Night Court I suppose
Dont really know...I used to watch tons of tv but I dont really anymore. Watched Gilmore girls for a bit, and Buffy and Angel but sorta strayed away. Recently Ive been watching Greys Anatomy and really liking it. Most of these listed are the ones Ive seen tons of.

I think we can tell from abraxas' list that he/she has been around a bit longer than some of the other folks since their list has a greater depth reaching into the past. Unless, of course, everyone else thinks the older shows didn't do anything at all for them at the time.
I notice this with the TV top anything lists as well. Heavily weighted toward what has happened in the recent past and everything earlier than the last 10-15 years is ignored.
Most influential show of all time: I Love Lucy. If not then why is it still in heavy and continuous play 50 years later?

I loved Baretta, Vegas, Starsky and Hutch, Big Valley and Wild Wild West are in my top ten list though. I watched Lucy and Loved it way back when - but it's kind of lost it's novelty with me but I will watch it if I see it. I don't have cable so I rarely do. I also loved The Monkees but didn't see it until the MTV reruns of it. I watched all the episodes of Mash and Hogans Heroes as well as Hawaii Five-O and am the only person I know who recognizes the theme songs when played over the store intercom at work. But they aren't part of my top ten. I guess some of the others, like all the John Wayne Movies and James Bond movies I have a tendency to revolt against because I couldn't watch anything else when I was a kid. All the much older boys had control of the TV and I didn't have any say so over it. I had to watch what they did most of the time and it sort of blows it a bit when you can't make your own choice.
There was Rawhide, Bonanza, PettyCoat Junction - which the boys only watched it for the girls. I remember all the Jerry Lewis/Dean Martin/Jack Benny - but those memories are kinda fuzzy.
I think that the lack of older shows for me is the fact that very few of them really peeked my interest. OK yeah....Dukes of Hazzard was a had to see it show when I was young, but looking on it now...lame I also didn't really watch alot of TV in my teen years as far as anything every week. I was playing Hockey, and other sports, playing video games, reading, drawing...things that kept my mind busy. I wasn't much of a TV watcher during those times. Now Mash is a show that if anyone takes the time to sit down and watch I can't see anyone not liking. It is about a era that is mostly forgotten, and a subject that many don't really know anything about (korean war) or even that it happened.
I geuss that one show that I can say I have always loved, and will still sit down and watch was "Leave it to Beaver".... But looking back now i can see how it makes the stereotype of that era stick out like a sore thumb. I mean the 2 kids, dad works, mom stays home to cook, and the whole thing revolves around one tiny little slice of american nastalgia. Look how great life is in America, and you can be just like them.
I cried, "Oh, Lady Midnight, I fear that you grow old, the stars eat your body and the wind makes you cold." "If we cry now," she said, "it will just be ignored."
a very funny show that has been sent away forever was amos and andy however it's content today maybe considered too stereotyped... then again, maybe it's humor hasn't changed...
what? no one watched things like dinah shore or lawrence welk? or... gee there were a couple of dramas wherer the smae actors played different roles each week... what was the name of that?? very good, really.
anyone remember the great experiment of showing three different shows consecutively each week... one was about cops, another about lawyers and i think the last about doctors... you got a new epi of the cops every 3 wks...etc... they were some good little dramas there too...
