Favorite Shows

As of right now, I'd like to compile a list of my all time favorite shows.

At number 1 of all time
Seinfeld

Yes, I understand one of the cast turned out to show racism and Jerry in real life is so arrogant and full of himself but Seinfeld was a show that could put you into another reality. What I mean by that is, when I used watch the show as a child and adolescent I could buy into the carefree and humorous reality that Jerry seemed to view the world with and that view was so unique and so uplifting that I cherish all of the episodes to this day. I can't really describe how much I liked the show, but suffice to say that the last episode really and completely ripped me apart.

And besides, who can forget "NO SOUP FOR YOU!"

Number 2 Family Guy
I understand the controversial humor Seth Mcfarlen uses, but if you can't absolutely lose yourself in laughter after watching an episode of family guy, then you really have no soul.

Number 3 Simpsons (1994-2003)
Simpsons for the past 5 years or so has really transformed into something awful. just awful. It's become so political and unsubstantiated jokes. I don't know if they lost their original writers or what but I really can't watch the new stuff anymore. However, back in the day, the simpsons was the de facto program of primetime. In school I can vividly recall the classroom trivia games we would play about simpsons, and what's more - is that everyone was capable of answering the questions because we all watched the episodes - several times.

Number 4 That 70's show.
Awesome. There's not much more I can say about this show, but I feel like the cast really bonded together and made the drama and humor that much more intense. In some ways I could relate to their problems when I was in high school, and I always envied Eric's basement. I wish I had a basement.

Number 5 Law and Order SVU
Of all the Law and Orders this is the best one, the actors seem so much more personable, the stories are so much more complex, and the relation to real life forms a reality check that I feel we all need. Again the stories were very compelling and I usually always watch this show when it's on TV.

Number 6 NCIS
Ziva is too hot not to like this show. No, this show also has very compelling stories and I'll always watch it when I see it on.

Number 7 The Daily Show with John Stewart
This is how I get my news, and what I like about him is his willingness to show bad sides of both political parties. There's a lot of ill in the world and it's always better to absorb it through a filter, and J. Stew is that filter not in the sense of censoring the news but painting a lighter side of things which his own unique brand of comedy.

Number 8 Monty Python and the Flying Circus
No comment.


So, what are some of your favorite shows? (to anyone who reads this)
