Top 10 TV Shows

Ginger from Ramble Ramble is continuing her writing prompts. Since I can talk about TV a lot (it’s actually part of what brought Mr. Sandwich and me together), let me share my top 10 TV shows.

My Top 10 Shows

1) Homicide
2) Deadwood
3) Mad Men
4) Game of Thrones
5) Southland

Right about now, you’re thinking, “Wow, you really like your shows dark, don’t you?”

6) Firefly
7) Adam-12
8) Star Trek (The Original Series)

See? They’re not all super-dark.

9) Parks and Recreation
10) Friends

Some of them aren’t dark at all!

Bonus! Donny & Marie

My Top 10 Shows I Loved, But Ultimately Gave Up On

1) Law & Order (Prime)–Sam Waterson joined the cast, and Chris Noth left, and it became Sneaky Lawyer Tricks, and I was out.
2) Cheers–Maybe when Shelley Long left? I don’t remember.
3) The Cosby Show–Cousin Oliver Syndrome.
4) ER–Once upon a time, it was a good show, and then it wasn’t.
5) How I Met Your Mother–TMI, Ted. TMI. Wrap it up.
6) Frasier–There are a lot of ways to handle the pregnancy of a cast member. I’m not sure why they decided “Fat Jokes” was the way to go.
7) Happy Days–the shark-jumping didn’t lose me; I think it was probably Ron Howard’s departure. Chachi didn’t help.
8) Little House on the Prairie–I left long before they blew up the town.
9) Aqua Teen Hunger Force–It just got so gross.
10) Babylon 5–So it turned out that the battle of good and evil was just a dispute over personnel management philosophies, and the Earth politics were boring. It’s too bad, because in the first few seasons the show did a phenomenal job of setting up its universe.

Still Haven’t Had Enough of My Thoughts About TV?

TV Shows That Were Gone Too Soon

    You may notice some overlap with my Top 10, above.

    Sometimes I just don’t get what they’re going for.

    1. I was trying to remember when I stopped watching. That was it. I was growing disenchanted with it by then, but he was the last character I had really cared about.

  1. Man, I watched ER for years, but when it started circling the drain, it went down quick. But those first years were pretty amazing.

    1. The point where it started to lose me was the episode in which Corday passed out, and I turned to my mom and said, “She’s pregnant,” and it turned out she was pregnant, and then 20 minutes later Greene passed out and I said, “Well, he’s not pregnant, so he must have a brain tumor,” and IN THAT SAME EPISODE it turned out he had a brain tumor.
