I thought this would be a fun thread in this sub-forum. I know it MAY be hard for some to do this, I know I will have trouble thinking of as much as TEN, but also fun. What are your ten favorite television shows (that are over, or that are currently on television)? It can be in order, or not. Mine, in no particular order is:

1. How I Met Your Mother
I have only recently discovered this show because a lot of people from my school watch it. I absolutely love the characters, especially Barney who is that hilarious and promiscuous man that every good comedy needs. Not only that but I love how every episode is a flashback that may not even line up chronologically, but that all contribute to this story of how Ted met his kids' mother. Beautiful story and an enjoyable show!


5. Glee
I really caught on with this show before most people. I am a music, show choir, showtune junkie and the concept of this show appealed to me from the start. It's a little shaky now compared to the first season which I loved, but I really appreciate what this show does and it will always hold a place in my heart. It's good.

And you're from Ohio. How awesome is that? Is Lima how they make it? :D

In the Castle, of course.
I can not narrow down my all time favorite shows, on air or off air, to only 5. I have been alive too many years for that. I will list five, but there are oh so many more.

Dr. Who
Star Trek and all spin offs
24
Battlestar Galactica (the original, not the remake)
Bones

Hmm, I'll play.

1. Buffy - favorite show since the first season. I heart Joss Whedon.
2.Firefly - only one season, but still better than most long-running shows.
3. ER - I love medical dramas, and this is the best one IMO
4. OZ - crazy, gritty, realistic, depressing, horrible...but I could not stop watching.
5. Supernatural - more than two hot brothers. Great writing, and underrated acting.

Notable mentions include Battlestar Galactica, Being Human (original), Freaks and Geeks, Castle, Criminal Minds, Friends, Queer as Folk..and probably some I can't think of right now.

ETA: for those that like Frasier, David Hyde Pierce grew up in the same town as me.

Hmmm.... 5 shows.
Let's see, Dexter, Six Feet Under, Firefly, Gargoyles, M*A*S*H, Game of Thrones... OK that's six.
I might have put House in there too, but I just can't stomach the way they ended the latest season.
Oh and honorable mention to South Park and DS9.
