I tried to make it more interesting by just picking one out of Buffy/Firefly and The Simpsons/Futurama. But I can’t honestly say there are other series I looked forward to watching as much, and would re-watch/recommend/quote/think of and laugh/not roll my eyes at as much as the ones on my list.

Seinfeld
Cheers

*I’m surprised I’m the first to mention this one. I get that it’s wildly inconsistent, but when it’s good, it’s very, very good.
**Loved this as a kid, still funny in reruns today.
*** My “when I was a kid I watched this religiously but likely couldn’t stomach 10 minutes of it now” nominee.
I thought it over, at first I had SNL for the first 5 seasons and a few later ones but then I put the Simpsons on instead. The other one I am regretting a little is leaving Barney Miller off. I really loved the show as a kid and love it now in repeats. Thankfully MeTV has it and I DVR it. I think I needed more than 10 but less than 20.
The Walking Dead
ER
Northern Exposure
Mad Men
Golden Girls

HOUSE!
Zeldar, those polls are for “best TV show”, not “favorite”. There’s a subtle but important difference. Some of my favorite TV shows appeal to a relatively narrow niche, which I happen to be in, but would be much less appealing to a broader audience. Take comedies, for instance: My favorite comedy is The Big Bang Theory, because it appeals to me as a nerd. I personally prefer it over MASH*, for that reason… but MASH* is still funny to me, and to almost everyone else, regardless of demographics, and so it’s the better show overall.
This is the sort of topic I was hoping we could deal with in Let’s discuss where to go next with the “Top TV Shows” issue… so as to leave this thread for mentioning shows to be considered.
