[Mac]

Dr.Matt and I have been chatting about TV shows on MSN, and I was wondering what you guys thought was the best show on tv?

My Fave 10 (in no order) are;

- Entoruage
- The Office
- Community
- Smallville
- LOST
- Family Guy
- SouthLand
- 30 Rock
- Parks
- Scrubs

TUF
Sports Nation or any other ESPN show
Stand Up on Comedy Central every Friday night
Friday Nigh Fights on ESPN 2. I love boxing.
The Simpsons
Everybody Hates Chris

I haven't been into boxing in years, I wouldn't even know where to start to get back into it. After Tyson I kind of lost interest.

I am highly addicted to everything on the NFL Network

[J-Mart]

Does the NFL air in Canada? And I'm starting to follow hockey a little since the Blackhawks are doing well.

The Office, WWE SmackDown! and WWE Raw are pretty much all I watch.

["The Hottest Shit Going"]

The ultimate fighter
Heroes
NCIS and the new LA edition
and Paula Dean!

[President Jeff]

South Park, Family Guy, The Office, Raw, Smackdown and ECW are the main things I watch

[Jesse Nuñez™]

Psych, RAW, Smackdown, ECW, Suns, Cowboys, and Cardinals games.

some staticy snow stuff, AUX1, and AUX2. once in awhile i can make out a few angry mexicans speaking spanish on the air channels. lol being poor opens up many doors in the world of comedy.

Nice to see The Office fans here! That's awesome.

[BDC]

Smallville, Supernatural, Heroes, Family Guy, Ultimate Fighter.

Just found this thread... may as well contribute, since I apparently helped inspire it.

My Order:

1. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - This show is fucking hilarious. I honestly can't even think of an episode where I watched it and thought "m'eh". This show is so offensive, so off-the-wall, but it doesn't feel forced. You love the characters, even though they do nothing but destroy the lives around them.

2. The Office (American Version) - A sub-par season 5 loses the Office top spot (Holly as the new HR rep should've lasted longer, and Michael should've quit at the end of the season, setting up the Michael Scott Paper Company for the next season. They rushed through so much. Remember how they spent 3 years building up Pam & Jim? Slow builds work wonders when they pay-off). Season 6 is making up for it. My brother-in-law is a minister who hates TV, but even he admitted that the wedding episode (especially the final 10 minutes) was one of most touching, funniest moments ever on tv.

3. South Park - This show does have misses, but when it hits, it fucking hits. This show is the epitome of satire. This show takes viewpoints on issues that no one else even thinks of, and they make it make fucking sense. This show has grown so much from "Mom, bring me my cheesypoofs".

4. The Big Bang Theory - Sheldon Cooper has to be one of the funniest, most unique characters on Televison. Jim Parsons deserves many Emmys for this role. This show also gets bonus points from me since I took Physics in University, and its refreshing to see Schodinger's Cat show up in a sitcom.

5. Family Guy - Guilty pleasure. I don't care if its nothing but manatee jokes, this show makes me laugh.

6. The Simpsons - Seasons 3-9 are so ingrained into my conscience that they pretty much define me. I relate everything in my life to "hey, this is like that episode of the simpsons". Yes, they fell off as the years went on, but I've actually found the new episodes as of late have been pretty hilarious.

7. Entourage - Guilty pleasure again. I really only enjoy it because of Johnny Drama and Ari Gold; who have been more fun to watch, while everything else is declining.

8. 30 Rock - Another really funny show. Any show that gets away with making Lemon Party jokes must be awesome.

9. Mad Men - Only recently got into this and just caught up on it. The fact that it's an hour long drama and kept my attention says something. Granted, I don't think Don Draper is as badass as most people do, but this is an incredibly sharp written show that makes me dream every day at work that I could bust out the scotch and get loaded.

10. Flight of the Conchords - This show would be higher, but I recently learned that they've ended it. Fuck shit asshole. First season had better songs, but the second season had funnier stories.

Honorable Mentions:

Shows that are no longer on the air, but I love:

Seinfeld - I hated this show when I was a kid (I was 12 when the finale aired), but I've grown to realize the appeal. When my Simpsons references don't fly with people, I usually have a Seinfeld back up.

Arrested Development - Another show I didn't watch when it originally aired. What a shame. This show had such layered humor that I'm sure there's jokes I still don't pick up on. My girlfriend has put a moratorium on me buying DVDs until after Christmas (so I don't accidentally buy something that could be gifted to me), but I'm going out and picking up the full series ASAP.

Chappelle Show - This show defined my first year of university. Quotes from this show slipped into every conversation. "G-g-g-g-goodbye!" Too bad they offered Dave 50 million dollars and he cracked under the pressure. Regardless, the second season of this show is sublime. Dave's take on race relations is so satirical it's a shame that a lot of people just don't get it.

Futurama - This is a show I watched in its first run, but it wasn't until watching reruns on Teletoon that I really started getting the humor of this show. Like the Big Bang Theory, this was a show for nerds. The 4 movies they recently made ranged from great to terrible (actually in the order they were released), but apparently this show is getting a new season on Comedy Central. Hopefully they brought back the old writing staff, because I don't want them bastardizing this show.

Extras - I've gone on great lengths over at EwC how amazing this show was. As funny as the original Office, but with a lot more heart. Andy Millman's rant on Celebrity Big Brother has to be one of my favourite TV moments ever. Ricky Gervais is fucking brilliant, and I think this series was his masterpiece.

Drawn Together - Probably the most offensive show ever. Period. Racist, homophobic, intolerant of all religions, bashing the handicapped in disabled. If anything offends you, even remotely, avoid this show.

My big show is Lost, and I'm a heroe's fan as well. Other then that I watch alot of stuff on the History channel and anything MMA. I also hear Dexter is suppose to be real good, but I havent seen it yet.
