Mine, in no particular order: 1. **The Office** I cannot even tell you how much I love this show. My love knows no boundaries. 2. **The Soup** So funny- perfect with a glass of wine late on a Friday night. 3. **Intervention** It comes on so late, and on a Sunday night, and once you start watching it you have to stay to then end to find out what happens- oh, wait! I just remembered they moved it to Friday nights. What with the time change for the rest of you suckers and all, I’ll have to see if it clashes with The Soup. Oh noes! 4. **Flip This House** I grew up with a dad that was constantly working on the house. I’ve hung, mudded and sanded drywall, put in windows, painted, grouted, and all that fun stuff and I’m always so pleased with the results of a good home makeover. It’s like magic. 5. **Las Vegas** So cheesy- almost a night-time soap, set in a hotel casino. But Josh Duhamel is ever so sexy, always good to see him. 6. **Family Guy** I hardly think an explanation is required for this bunch. So what are your six favorite? ---

Also in no particular order (and limited to shows currently on the air (or on hiatus)): [ul] [li] **The Office** : Sometimes it’s like a documentary about my life.[/li] [li] **24** : Hopefully, not much of a documentary. And it’s definitely not about my life. But it is exciting![/li] [li] **The Sopranos** : One of those rare shows that, upon ending, will make me cry for my loss.[/li] [li] **Iron Chef America** : Indulges three of my favorite activities in one fell swoop: eating, cooking, sports-playing.[/li] [li] **The L Word** : I’m new to this one, but find it well-acted and well-written.[/li] [li] **Big Love** : Those crazy Mormons![/li][/ul] ---

_Mythbusters My Name is Earl Family Guy That 70’s Show Heroes Planet Earth_ - I know it’s just a miniseries and not even on yet, but holy crap is it the most beautiful thing on TV, ever. ---

In order: _The Wire_ - best show in the history of television _The Shield_ - can’t wait… _Heroes_ - I need it like crack _Rescue Me_ - slipped a little last season but still fantastic _The Office_ - hit and miss, usually hit _The Sopranos_ - The time has come, but good while it lasted If we can include shows that aren’t on anymore, I’d add _Extras_, _Deadwood_ and _Firefly_. ---

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (aka the Las Vegas one) House MD Queer as Folk (still making my way through the DVD sets, finished up season 3 a bit ago) Family Guy Sex and the City (didn’t have HBO until this year but rented every epiosde and watch it whenever it’s on) I’m gonna throw in Dexter here, only since it’s my newest favorite. I don’t watch TV that many hours a day but I love sooo many shows and it was too hard to pick a sixth I could stick by. ---

Ugly Betty My Name Is Earl The Office (yes, I know, conflict above - causing me angst) Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations Weeds Various reruns on at different times - Frazier, M_A_S\*H, Seinfeld, Sex & The City - sometimes tying w/ - The Food Network (depending who’s on), TLC, and A&E Possible soon-to-be’s are The Black Donnelly’s and Wedding Bells, as I hear they are both very good. ---
