My Ten Favourite TV Shows of All-Time

Published February 19, 2006 @ 08:23 in Lists, Television, The Simpsons, The Sopranos

TVTelevision shows seemed better when I was a kid. After school, I could become immersed in crap like "The Facts of Life", "Who's The Boss?", "Growing Pains" or "Silver Spoons". Then, there were old-school favourites like "The Dukes of Hazzard", "WKRP in Cincinnati", "Three's Company", "Night Court" and "The A-Team".

Over time, as one ages and matures, sit-coms lose their allure and formulaic dramas lose their zest. Shows you really, really like grow fewer and far between. Your newly defined list of your ten favourite television programs rarely changes.

Here is my current top ten:

  1. The Simpsons
  2. Six Feet Under
  3. The Sopranos
  4. Curb Your Enthusiasm
  5. Oz
  6. Seinfeld
  7. The Larry Sanders Show
  8. Kids in the Hall
  9. Arrested Development
  10. The Family Guy

Agree or disagree, just keep in mind how completely subjective this practice is.

Have you ever watched the series "Long Way Home?" Actors and friends Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman star in and co-produce this new Bravo series chronicling their four-month transcontinental journey by motorcycle.
It was originally aired on Bravao and then the Speed network. My husband just bought the 10 disc set and it is absolutely riveting.

Yes, I've heard good things about this mini-series. Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman went on a motorcycle trip around the world with on-board cameras and microphones.

I haven't seen it, but I'd like to. Your hubby should lend me the set.

Sports Night was phenomenal. The short lived, critically aclaimed Aaron Sorkin project was a joy to watch. Some of the greatest characters that I have ever tuned in weekly to see were on that show. Sometimes, I stil dream that it came back on the air...... but i digress...

And you also missed Futurama!
