It's a fairly simple question, yet the answer can be a tricky one.I looked around on the website to see if such a thread had been done in the past and the closest I could find was Sharon's Question of the Day "top 3 shows of the past 10 years", so I decided to do it because it'll be different (you can name many more shows and they don't have to have been created since 2001). Also, it's different than just naming your favorite show or having polls where two specific series are up against each other. In this thread, you'll rank your favorite US scripted series, no matter the genre and no matter if they're still in production or not.
I'm setting the bar to 25 shows, but you can limit yourself to 10 shows or go up to 30 if you want to (no more than that though, I know it's tough to leave some shows out but otherwise there's no point in doing this if we can name a gazillion shows). To make up your mind, you'll notice the random picture at the top of the post and the very unbiased tags for this thread.
If there are a lot of comments and if plenty of different shows come up in top spots, I could collect your rankings, give a certain amount of points according to the ranking (10 points for a #1 spot, 8 points for your #2 show, 3 points for your #5 show, etc) and update this post to let you know what the results are.

Slightly easier as the poll is for US scripted shows only (you may want to make that clearer as some people have listed British shows) but still hard to do and I know I've left of some shows that I am just blanking on right now!
In no order: Twilight Zone (Original series), Lost, Homicide: Life on the Streets, Sons of Anarchy. There were shows I was so hooked on years ago but when I go back and look at them now, they are laughable/stupid. So few shows really stand the test of time

With the exception of FlashForward(and the two miniseries),I decided to include shows that are either complete or had a few seasons to prove how good they are.That's the only reason Game Of Thrones isn't on that list.
And also there are a few shows,namely Prison Break,Heroes and Lost(and that's a personal opinion people,don't shoot)that had brilliant first seasons but didn't continue just as strong.Although,to be fair,there's a little difference between them.I think that Prison Break and Heroes really did lose their edge after the first couple of seasons.When it comes to Lost,I think that I simply lost interest and it didn't have to do with the show so much.
: )
Wow. Other than the years I was in school, when I had no TV, and working through primetime, there's a long list.

Nice list!! I was really in doubt....I didn´t know if I should put Twin Peaks or Lost at nr 1. Lost won today, but other days I would put Twin Peaks at the top. Happy to see I´m not the only one who remembers the best show of all time. :-)

At first I thought "How could people possibly come up with 30 favorites and rank them?" Glancing at other people's lists, I quickly saw 6 or 7 great shows for my list. For the rest I went to Netflix and looked at my 5 and 4-star rated shows and fairly quickly hit 30. Mostly genre shows but there are also some classic comedies and dramas in there. Ranking them wasn't even that hard, though any of those shows could go up or down a few notches depending on my mood at the time.
Totally forgot Xena, I used to be addicted to it when I was a kid lol
ReplyDeleteMy top shows in order are:
ReplyDelete1. Dexter
2. Fringe
3. Hell on Wheels
4. Walking Dead
5. LOST
6. Criminal Minds
7. Once Upon a Time
8. Entourage
9. Oz
10. Everybody Loves Raymond
I had a hard time choosing between Dexter and Fringe, but it came down to most looked forward to for me. Don't get me wrong, I am looking forward to the return of Fringe, but nothing makes me happier than the feeling that I'm about to watch Dexter do his thing.

Honorable mentions to pre-S6 Supernatural, Community, and The Twilight Zone. Those are all the shows that felt genuinely special to me where I've loved the majority of the episodes and became addicted enough to the show to be almost unable to wait to see the next episode. There's plenty of other shows that I've watched that have met some of the above criteria, but those 8 shows are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head that I've watched that hit every one of them.
West Wing. Hands down. I watch it religiously every time it get's shown on TV.
ReplyDeleteNumb3rs is second in line, but no where near West Wing.
Going back in time I'd have to say that MASH and Keeping up Appearances are pretty high on the list.
It was a very good show watched by a lot of people, until the last season when opinions vary wildly.
ReplyDeleteA lot of the other best shows won't make people's lists because they were on before many people here were born (like M*A*S*H), or they were on cable channels and seen by far fewer people.
Heh, I replaced Quantum Leap with Dead Like Me just as you posted that. But, you are welcome ;P
ReplyDeleteAlso Forgot Warehouse 13, since i'm being lazy I will just say it should go just above Criminal Minds.

ReplyDelete1.Supernatural-the emotions this show gives is unlike anything any show has ever done
ReplyDelete2.Friends-this show just makes me so happy and i want a group of friends just like them
3.Psych-the comedy of this show is one of the best currently on television
4.Doctor Who-a show that has literally stood the test of time, what list of best shows of all time would be complete without this amazement?
5.Star Trek-i was raised on this show thanks to my dad and i could not be more grateful
6.NCIS-i'm sure everyone says this about their favorite procedural cop drama, but there really is something about this show that sets it apart from all the others
7.Criminal Minds-seeing how in depth this show goes into the psyche and emotional turmoil of the offenders is a real change of pace from other shows
8.LOST-this show is definitely one of a kind and i don't think anything can truly live to the magnitude of this show
9.Arrested Development-i have only just started this show(thank you netflix)and already this has become one of my all time favorites
10.How I Met Your Mother-who would've known that a show about a how a dad sits his kids down one day to tell them the ENTIRE story of how he met their mother woud be so entertaining?
11.Lizzie McGuire-yes i am including a disney channel show because this was one of the best. it actually was a relatable show and taught you that it was ok to be yourself, cherish your friends, and being popular and having a boyfriend was not the most important thing in life.
12.Phineas and Ferb-yeas another disney channel. the obscure refrences and witty humor really set it apart from all the other craptastic shows on the channel.
13.Law And Order:SVU-really the best one of the three
14.Merlin-there been many attempts to put the king arthur legends in a form visual entertainment, have most have fallen short. but not this one. the chemistry between the cast is superb and definitely entertaining

My interpretation of what Bunky Bunk ment by "top shows", US only:
ReplyDelete1- Lost
2- Twin Peaks
3- X-Files
4- Hill Street Blues
5- The Fugitive
6- House
7- 24
8- Rich Man, Poor Man
9- Deadwood
10- The Sopranos
Shows like Dallas, Baretta, Columbo, MASH, Fame, Thirty Somethings, ER, Star Treck, The Simpsons, etc, etc, etc - they all have marked in one way or another the history of story telling on television, many of them creating a new genre and paving the way to other shows after them.
But I've decided to really make it hard on myself and chose only the 10 that have had the most impact on my tv viewing experience.
While doing this list, I've already created my Top 10 UK shows, so whenever Bunky Bunk is ready... ;)
There's some impressive lists here. I don't even know I could compile one of my own. Surely I would leave off some and hate myself for it. But some of y'all got some great lists going. And some of y'all have me scratching my head. :P I will give a special shout-out to My So-Called Life though. Just because it was a really wonderful series that I feel gets overlooked a lot. It would definitely be in my list somewhere!!
ReplyDeleteRoswell! That was the first show I really, really loved. It was got me into the tv geek I am today. And I will agree that the first four seasons of OTH aren't bad. I mean, it wouldn't make my list of overall faves but I did really enjoy the first four. :)

Top 10:
ReplyDeleteSmallville, Stargate Sg-1, Stargate Atlantis, Supernatural, castle, Vampire Diaries, Sanctuary, legend of the seeker, ncis: la, that 70's show, desperate housewives.
10. Full House- It was actually my first ever show that was not disney or little kiddie. I loved it after my sister started watching it and i got hooked. Allways loved the comedy and the concept of family.
9. Desperate Housewives- As much as i know like 65% of people are women who watch, i watched one episode and i couldnt help myself i got hooked. Im not a big fan of the show much anymore but i still watch just to see the end. (started watching end of season 3).
8. That 70’s Show- This was my 2nd comedy show I found that I liked. I watched almost every episode and there were always a few episodes a season that made me laugh like crazy. Kelso of course was the funniest but my favorite dude was fez and girl was Jackie.
7. NCIS: LA- I started watching when the ncis crossover came out. Im not really sure how I found it (never watched ncis original didn’t like it) but chris o’donnel I always liked as an actor and it made me want to see it. I saw the crossover on youtube and started watching the show the fall after. Im glad tho they now added deeks.
6. Sanctuary- After watching Sg-1 and atlantis, Amanda Tapping I thought was one of my favorite tv actresses ever. I at first didn’t want to see this series though after hearing what it was about but gave it a chance finally this summer and watched all the way up to now.
5. Castle- I saw Nathan fillion who I actually knew from Desperate Housewives and liked him on it. The show looked funny and watched it from the beginning. I also fought hard to promote the series in the 1st season and after it got renewed the show got better and better and I stick with it every year.
4. Supernatural- It at first was my 2nd favorite but after the last few seasons and the new shows I started watching I put it down to 4. I own this on dvd and love the show. My favorite is Castiel!
3. Vampire Diaries - Vampire Diaries I started watching when it started (wanted to see it after I saw there were 4 smallville veterans including both Salvatore brothers.) and I love it. It is the best show with twists and cliffhangers, the best I ever seen.
2. Stargate Atlantis- . Stargate Atlantis I also loved a lot. I was hesistant because I really only watched sg-1 but after hearing sg-1 members guest starred and there were crossover moments, I watched. I immediately loved it.
1. Smallville tied with Stargate Sg-1- Smallville was my first real drama show after full house. I was 12, it was the 6th season live and my dad watched it since it started. He showed me the first episode I watched which was Justice and fell in love with the show. I love everything of it and it will always forever be my 1st favorite (bought all on dvd). Stargate Sg-1 (and atlantis I started watching last spring) my dad showed me also and told me it was good and its just like smallville I just loved the entire series and my favorite of sg-1 was and always will be Daniel Jackson.
''1 - Supernatural ---I have never had a show affect me like this one
ReplyDeletedoes. I've never wanted to attend a convention or meet other fans as I
do with this show. The brotherhood and love in the series is worth it
all''
:) You said all there is to say...I used to be a 'huge' fan of Stargate Sg-1 and Atlantis but the idea of going to a Con or looking behind the scenes or wanting to know more about the actors, about the others fans...etc, never crossed my mind. The SPN family between actors, between fans and between actors/actors is so unique :) <3 Its the only show that made me drove 15 hours to go (and 15 to come back :P ) to a Con :D
o btw friends was tied with that 70's show but if i had to choose which of the two was better i would choose friends. Also if i had to choose btween sg-1 and smallville i would choose smallville.

ReplyDeleteI didn't realize anybody else remembered Rat Patrol. Dark Shadows was excellent, too. I often wondered how the older shows would do today with substantially more than four channels to choose from.
ReplyDeleteMy Saturdays were The Bowery Boys/Dead End Kids followed by Warner Oland as Charlie Chan. One Step Beyond was required although not up to the standards of Alfred Hitchcock, Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits.
And don't forget Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and Lost in Space for all their cheesy monsters!

Spacing just to make it easier to read. I could never get into Lost so I have left tha one out and I have also left out the Sopranos, as I HATE the ending so much. Also just started Breaking bad and have not see any of The killing, so I have left them out.
1. Fringe 2. Stargate SG-1, 3. Lost
ReplyDeleteI hope the number of points will devide equally in comparison to people who selected e.g. 10 shows (for their 10 shows the same number of points in total for my three.) Otherwise this vote would not be fair.

My favorite - mostly in order:
ReplyDelete1. La Femme Nikita - the BEST spy show ever invented. The drivel Nikita on CW is teenage tripe. Peta and Roy will always be Nikita and Michael. ALWAYS. I would buy this series on Blu-ray even if it was $500.
2. X-Files - Mulder and Scully made this series incredible and there will never be another like it.
3. Farscape - You never knew where the twists would take the viewers each week. I miss this series. Canceled too soon.
4. Silk Stalkings - Incredibly good, until both leads wanted to leave. Killing off Chris was a massive mistake.
5. Firefly - Canceled too soon. A diamond in the rough that never had a chance to shine.
6. Castle - Nathan Fillion makes this show what it is!
7. Bones - Loved it when it first started and haven't stoped.
8. Fringe - Wow, something of this caliber I haven't seen since X-Files.
9. Supernatural - Instantly addicting!
10. Stargate SG-1 - one of only the 10 mentioned above that I could watch over and over and not get bored.
We watched them when they were on, we bought the DVDs at ridiculous prices, and we STILL watch them now, even years later after cancellations.
ReplyDeleteI Loved how you said "Nikita - the ORIGINAL." Damn straight! LFN was the best and first and most original spy show out there in 1997. It broke boundaries and opened people's eyes to the world of espionage and the cruelties it contained in a time pre-9/11. It was groundbreaking!
ReplyDeleteAnd it ended way, way too soon.
Do it! This series was highly underrated, got NO advertising and still people managed to find it. Sadly I came to the party too late, but it is one of my top 10 series of all time. Even if it only has 14 episodes. And when you finish the series, watch the movie, Serenity.
ReplyDeleteOh, Queer as Folk!!! I loved that show...until the end. I really wanted Michael and Brian to be together, the way they did in the UK version. :(
ReplyDeleteRevenge is addicting! Secret Circle I'm liking but as a massive fan of the books, I'm pissed they killed Nick off. :(

Might I recommend La Femme Nikita? Most of the creators and writers of 24 created/wrote LFN prior to 24 coming on. Many plots of 24 were taken directly from LFN.
ReplyDeletePretender...I loved that show back in the day. The movies were great but still left things too open ended. I keep hoping against hope they'll reunite the cast for one final movie to wrap things up and give us our Miss Parker and Jarod hook up.
ReplyDeleteIf you're behind on Fringe, my recommendation would be to start at the beginning and go through the series. It's impossible now to try to jump in at season four. It's gotten incredibly good. Each season just expands on the last and gets better and better.
ReplyDeletei never watched the UK version, ive always meant to but never got around to it.
ReplyDeleteChristine, you're in good company. I loved Silk Stalkings too. Chris and Rita made that show for me. IMO, it really ended in Season 5 with Chris' death and Rita's retirement.
ReplyDeleteIf you liked 24, you might like La Femme Nikita. The creators of 24 came from LFN and many of the plots and elements of 24 stem from LFN. It was a cable show from 1997 to 2001 on USA Network
ReplyDelete...CHUCK!

HONORABLE MENTION- Breaking Bad, Game Of Thrones, The Secret Circle, No Ordinary Family, Futurama, Hellcats, The Office, CSI, CSI Miami, Saved By The Bell, Late Night W/ Conan O'Brien, Conan, Family Guy. Family Ties, Criminal Minds, Married With Children, South Park, Trailer Park Boys, Danger Bay.
1. Supernatural - Two brothers driving around in an Impala, against the world: my alter ego and I in my body against the world. Spot the similarity? Also, it taught me many life lessons, something that is not always present in TV shows. Add to that the creep factor, gore and thrills which I so love and you got me!
ReplyDelete2. The Vampire Diaries - Damon and Katherine are the highlights of the show for me. Also the writers know how to knock your socks off - when they are not deep into teenage drama (I'm looking at you, Caroline!)
3. Charmed - Witchcraft has always been appealing to me and sarcastic!Piper was a pleasure to watch.
4. Once Upon A Time - My favorite fairy tale has always been Snow White and to have a show based on them with a big "what if they found themselves into our world" is just too good.
5. Sabrina, The Teenage Witch - I used to watch it back in the days for Salem, the talking cat. Loved his funny one-liners and crazy antics!
6. Dark Angel - I went for Season 2 to catch Jensen as the snarky Alex and man, did I love his character!
7. Pretty Little Liars - The twists and turns that this show takes are amazing: just when you think you've nailed it, you are proven wrong and find yourself chewing on your fingernails wondering who the stalker really is (or are).
Yay i was hoping someone would mention Xena and Conan loved those two shows!!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah I agree 100%! I was always a shipper :)
ReplyDeleteI started watching "Less than perfect" because of the Pretender, because I missed seeing Andrea Parker on screen. Now she is on Desperate Houswives, weird to see her in this kind of role, but really cool at the same time.
1. Supernatural--have never been obsessed with a show like this one! Never has there been anything like it on tv before and will never be duplicated. Everything about it is #1...writing, acting, everything...
ReplyDelete2. Buffy the Vampire Slayer--before Supernatural there way Buffy. The writing and acting were so above par. Just watch "The Body" to see what I mean.
3. Farscape--loved John Chricton and all of the relationships he forged over the years. And the chemistry between Ben Browder and Claudia Black was just amazing!
4. Reasonable Doubts--Marlee Matlin and Mark Harmon were so good together. Wish this had stayed on more than 3 seasons
5. Quantum Leap--my first obsession. So upset with the way they ended it. Sam Beckett deserved to make it home and have the family and rest he deserved!! Was just in love with Scott Bakula...he made the character and the show!!!
Honorable mentions:
Roswell
Medium
Dr. Who (9th and 10th)
Haven
The 4400
The Dead Zone
Charmed
Mystery Science Theater 3000!!!! Totally forgot about that one!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is my Favorite Ever TV Shows list, I have included some non-US shows, because they deserve to be there for me, and you know, it's a small world in the internet. I'm sure there are tons of other good shows out there, but I have not watched them yet.
