My Favorite TV Shows

This show is one of the definitive ones of the 80's. Tom Selleck was great as the titular P.I., as was John Hillerman as Higgins. While a drama it was usually quite lighthearted and fun.

The show that defined my childhood. I have seen every episode multiple times, to this day I can usually recall details about the episodes just from the title. MacGyver is famous for his use of everyday items to solve his problems. Usually in the most non-violent way possible.

Might be my favorite show ever. Lacks any sort of finesse or class, it was excellent. Controversial for it's display of family dysfunction and of a husband and wife in their love/hate relationship in the goody 80's. I recently bought the entire series on DVD so I can watch it whenever I want. All the characters are awesome, but Al Bundy might be tv's all time greatest.

Probably the best written show of all time. A brilliant and hysterical show about nothing, it was the most talked about show of the 90's. It is an excellent show, I still watch the reruns as much as possible.

This crime mystery show is based on the many Poirot novels written by Agatha Christie. The show does a good job of keeping the bad guy a mystery, and the crimes are usually interesting. One of the best crime solving shows out there. David Suchet is excellent as the Belgian Detective who always gets his guy. Sad to see this show end after 24 years, but they ran out of novels.

While not a character driven show, it is an effective and entertaining program. This classic program is always a good option to those looking for a good drama show. While the spin-offs are good shows, the original will always be the best to me. I was shocked when it was cancelled, one show I always counted on to be there is no more. I will always have the reruns of it's more the 450 episodes it made during its incredible 20 year run.

This show about the running of a fictional late night show, is one of the more underrated comedies. The dysfunction behind the scenes, combined with the eccentric personalities made for great television. At times the show was painful to watch, Jeffery Tambor's character Hank Kingsley being responsible for many of those scenes. Garry Shandling and Rip Torn are great as Larry and his producer Arthur.

I've heard a lot about this show, but never actually got around to watching it until last month. All the fans I've seen complaining about the show's early cancellation are right, 14 episodes isn't nearly enough. Enjoyed this show (and its movie sequel) tremendously, I highly recommend it.

A great show. What more can I say? I didn't start watching the show till it was already off the air, but I finished the entire series in probably 2 months once I started. A dark, serious sci-fi drama, it is one show I always make sure to recommend to others. Well-written and well-acted I can find few if any flaws in this program.

House M.D. took what would have been a normal procedural medical drama and made it into one of my favorite shows. This is because of the character Gregory House, portrayed to perfection by Hugh Laurie. It easily mixed drama and comedy, making one of the more enjoyable shows on the air during it's 8 year run.

I think a disappointing final season did too much damage to my memory of this show. Now that I've started re-watching it, I'm remembering why I liked it so much to begin with. It was one of the best for a while there. After some consideration I decided it deserved a place on this list.

I have never misjudged a show more than this one. I thought I wouldn't like it for some reason, but when someone introduced me to it I was instantly a fan. The Doctor is another one of my favorite characters. While the actors change the Doctor remains an entertaining character. David Tennant was always my favorite, but I liked the others as well. Few shows are as good as coming up with good villains. The Daleks, The Master, The Weeping Angels, and The Silence being among my favorites.

This is a lighthearted comedy about an immature man pretending to be a psychic detective. Not a deep show by any stretch of the imagination, but a funny and entertaining one. I don't care that it's kind of childish I have liked it since the beginning. James Roday and Dule Hill are very good together as the 2 leads. I can't believe it's on its final season already.

Just finished this show, and I really enjoyed it. Sorry that I missed it back when it was airing, and am very disappointed that it was cancelled after only 2 seasons, ending on a cliffhanger no less. Waste of a lot of potential, in my opinion.

Been watching this show from the start. I think it is one of the best shows to come out in recent years. Very dramatic, and sometimes very violent. It is also very bleak and at times depressing, probably the most accurate portrayal of what a zombie outbreak would look like. At it's core though this show is about people, and the struggle to keep your humanity in desperate times.

A show that I stumbled upon by accident, and actually ended up enjoying quite a bit. An outlandish fantasy show about all sort of creatures from mythology they call the Fae. It may not be the technically best made show on this list but is still among my favorites. I can't help but turn in to see what Bo and her friends are doing next. Ksenia Solo makes the show as the quick-witted side kick Kenzi.

Justified is probably my favorite show currently airing, I can't believe that it has only 1 more season left. Right when I start watching it, it gets scheduled to end. Raylan and Boyd are both some of my favorite characters on T.V. Great acting, production, and writing.

Just finished all the episodes of this show. I knew very quickly that it would soon be on this list. Mystery, adventure and humor are all available in spades on this show. Very high quality production and acting. This version of Moriarty is one of the more memorable tv villains in recent years.

Mediocre 1st season, but really picked it up in the 2nd and 3rd. Excellent acting and compelling characters abound: Ian Kahn gives my favorite George Washington performance I've yet seen; Angus Macfadyen is hugely entertaining as the legendary woodsman Robert Rogers; Samuel Roukin is chilling as the ruthless Simcoe; Owain Yeoman also does excellent work as the traitorous Benedict Arnold as does my long time favorite Ksenia Solo as his eventual wife Peggy.

Hopefully this show's 4th and final season continues to bring the quality storytelling as the last two seasons have.

While I enjoyed this show from the beginning, I waited a few weeks before putting it on this list. Humorous and dramatic, with great acting. It is one of the few shows I look forward to every week now.
