What's your TOP favorite television shows? Let's find great TV to watch

Six Feet Under


Boardwalk Empire
House of Cards

Game of Thrones went from A+ show to a total failure during the season 4 finale.

Big Bang Theory
walking Dead
Entourage

At this stage of the game my shows have probably already been listed but the shows I look forward to rather than, "Hey, it's something to watch."

Game Of Thrones*
House Of Cards*
Boardwalk Empire*
Homeland*
Downton Abbey
Sherlock
Orphan Black
Doctor Who
Modern Family (though it's getting pretty spotty lately)
Gotham
Doc Martin (I believe there's one more season if not a small block of episodes still coming)



*I don't have premium cable channels so I have to wait for these to come out on DVD and borrow them from the library. It's a drag to have to wait so long for that to happen but it's kinda nice to plow through a whole season in a couple of days.

Night Court, Cheers, Coach, Perfect Strangers, Seinfeld, Northern Exposure, All in the Family. Basically anything from the early 90's or entire 70's and 80's.

Mad Men
New Girl
Modern Family
Arrested Development
Brooklyn Nine-Nine

My two favorites fall in the UK and US category -

Sherlock (the new BBC version)
Downton Abbey

Yes, I am a bit ashamed to admit that second one. But the Mrs. got me hooked on it. And it's good.

Seriously, though. Both shows are amazing.

My wife and I recently finished the DVD box set of Doc Martin and are now watching the box set of Inspector Lewis. I can't think of any shows on American TV that we watch on a regular basis.

I'm currently watching The Shield with my wife and this is the 3rd time I've committed to watching this series. Definitely one of my all time favs.

Anything by Ken Burns. He is re-releasing Civil War in early September in HD on PBS. Plus, he uploaded several of his older series to YouTube that I'm working my way through right now. I just finished Thomas Jefferson yesterday.

Depends on the time of the year. Currently is is American Ninja Warrior

My wife and I just started watching "Twin Peaks" on Amazon prime. That is one kooky TV show and I'm surprised that it even aired on national TV in the late 80's early 90's. It's like a weird (emphasis on the weird) cross between a crime whodunit, a soap opera, and a dash of paranormal thrown in for good measure. We've watched all the first season and I'm really enjoying it so far.

I love "American Ninja Warrior." It really gets me pumped up to do some pull ups.

OK, my top ones are:

Falling Skies (just ended)
Gotham
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The Simpsons
Family Guy
Game of Thrones

I liked Revolution, but that got cancelled. (The last season was done as a comic book.)

The Americans is a good old fashioned Cold War spy series.

I'm looking forward to the Sons of Anarchy guy's new ripoff of Game of Thrones. I assume he will stick Peg Bundy in there somewhere, and supposedly some of the rest of the SOA cast will be trading in their motorcycle jackets for armor. It sounds like a spectacular mess. I will probably watch at least the first episode.
