15 titles in Mr. Mustard’s list and eight in Paul’s. Add to that at least two:
Mad Men
Something or other about your mother, with what’s his name (figuring all this out would require looking up Doogie Houser to find the actor’s name, then using that to look up the name of the show).
That would be “How I Met Your Mother,” with Neil Patrick Harris.
I think it would be easier for me to name popular shows I have seen at least one episode of, since there aren’t many. I’ll limit myself to the last 15 years or so to make things easy.
These are the ones I HAVE seen:
All 3 CSIs (but only watch the Vegas one regularly)
House
Frasier
Lie to Me
Buffy
American Idol
America’s Got Talent
Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares
Hell’s Kitchen
Hoarders (both shows)
What Not to Wear
The Simpsons
South Park
Without a Trace
Sherlock
I think that’s about it for the ones I’ve seen. Of course, if you go back further (like into the 70s) that list gets a lot bigger–I watched a lot more TV when I was a teenager and there was no Internet than I have since I got into college and beyond.
Law and Order
NCIS
CSI
How I Met Your Mother
Two and a Half Men
Housewives of ______
Kardashians
BiG Bang Theory
The Mentalist
The Office
Bones
The Middle
Modern Family
Community
Grimm
Gossip Girl
Cougar Town
Castle
The Good Wife
going back in time, never watched one whole episode of Friends. Couldn’t do it.
There’s really too many to mention!
I mean, my TV is ON a lot, but it’s for background noise because I’m home alone most of the time. That doesn’t mean I’m sitting in front of it watching everything and anything.
E.R.
The Sopranos
The Game of Thrones
Survivor
The Amazing Race
America’s Got Talent
The Biggest Loser
The Bachelor
The Bachelorette

Just about any reality/game show. Modern Family
Most HBO and Showtime series, with a few exceptions.
I know there have been oodles of threads dealing with TV Show Favorites of one sort or another, but here are two threads with polls where “popular TV shows” were listed and voted on. A new poll with the same question as this one might be constructed from them.
Please, somebody else do the necessary poll-building from:
Your Top Five Most Preferred TV Shows (Final Poll)
I’ll be happy to do the poll, but I need a little help: Which version of Dr. Who am I including? (I know nothing other than there are two versions of it).
mmm
