1.South Park
Faimly Guy is funny, but stupid funny, with stuff that has nothing to do with the plot. South Park takes actull current events, and makes them hillariouse..just everything is flawless in this show the plot, charcters, humor, everything.

2.King Of Queens
Don't know why I enjoy it so much, just entertaing to me

3.Faimly Guy
Malcom in the Middle = 3 also, faimly guy = malcom in the middle
their a tie

4.Malcom in the Middle

5.Fresh Prince of Belair?

...of all time

1. The West Wing-if there was a ranking higher than 1, the West Wing would get it.

2. The Office-love it. every friday at work has turned into "The Office Review Session Day"

3. Scrubs-i have been a huge fan since season 1, and i don't think the show has lost anything.

4. The Simpsons-may suck now, but, back in the day, i lived for it.

5. Malcolm in the Middle. this show was ahead of its time with the quirkyness and lack of laugh track. very under rated.

1. "Married with Children".....Funniest disfunctional family in TV history, and there have been PLENTY of them.

2. "Family Matters".....this show would've been mediocre and wouldn't have lasted long if they hadn't decided to add a certain annoying neighbor to the mix.

3. "Saturday Night Live".....The days of Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, etc.

4. "Three's company".....Obviously, this show is before my time, but the re-runs were VERY funny.

5. "The Simpsons"....Can't wait for the movie, long time coming.

My top-5 right now:

1. Lost

The most intelligent show on television. One episode has more cultural references then other shows have in their entirety. This show has created a mythology, deep multidimensional characters, great cinematography, have engulfed a lot of people. You get what you put into the series.

2. Battlestar Galactica

The most under appreciated show on television. Each episode is ripe with dramatic scenes. I think a lot of people ignore this series because 1) it is on Sci-Fi, not on say NBC, and 2) people assume it is nerdy or campy. The only thing this show lacks, in terms of quality, is a large budget. I highly recommend this show, and you should rent Season 1. Don't take my word for it. Time, Rolling Stone, New York Times, New Yorker, Peabody, Matt Stone, Trey Parker, TV Guide, all praise the series.

3. 24

While Season 6 was a disappointment, it still had a few great moments. A upcoming paradigm shift in the shows' format should rejuvenate the franchise. Season 1 is a must see for any fans of drama.

4. Colbert Report

Political and social satire at its finest. It combines tongue in cheek statements, absurdity, and hilarious segments. Not to mention the killer interviews with senators in the massive "Better Know a District" feature.

5. South Park

A lot of people think of South Park as merely dirty humor. Maybe when the show began. Now it is a landmark series that is unafraid to tackle controversial subjects.

My current favorites:

1. LOST: Great show, intruiging characters, excellent writing and acting. All around fantastic.

2. The Office: One of only 2 shows (with LOST) that I will actually be at home to watch at its scheduled time. Hilarious and consistently excellent.

3. South Park: Consistent excellence and relevant with current events. Walks the line between offensive and hilarious like an expert. Still fantastic and of excellent quality after almost 10 years on TV. Very rewatchable.

4. NFL Total Access: Solid and consistent football. Limited commercial interuptions, good analysis, not at all cheesy. Keeps my interest year-round.

5. Heroes*: I put a * here because I want to see what they do with the second season before I put it on my "appointment TV" schedule. I like the show a lot, but they need to prove themselves with Season 2 before I can commit. Right now, they have done well, but 24 episodes is not enough.

Other current faves: 30 Rock, My Name is Earl, Baseball Tonight, Jeopardy, Mike & Mike on ESPN2, House, Entourage.

1. LOST-Amazing show, gets you thinking. I think I like it because it makes me feel smart about hypothesizing what happens next. When you have a very low GPA, it does that to you.
2. King of Queens - Funny show, always have to watch it.
3. Frasier - Underrated show, IMO. It was funny and I personally think that if it wasn't for Martin dating, it would have been higher.
4. Everybody Loves Raymond
5. The Office - Funny, Funny, Funny.

Deal or No Deal- very entertaining game show. Last night two guys had the million in their cases and they settled for less than $100,000. HAHA Suckers

King of Queens-I love this show. I have always thought it was funny.

The Girls Next Door-For obvious reasons. :) Mostly because of Kendra and Holly

The Simpsons

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air-Cant beat Nick at Night's all night marathon every night of the week.

Why do you hate in the show so much? Most game shows dont have skill. I wouldnt say guessing what a sentence says on Wheel of Fortune is skill. I just think Deal or No Deal is entertaining because of people's greed. They always say "one more time," and then before you know it they lose $200,000. The only annoying part is when the models try to add on to their 15 seconds of fame by coming up with something sweet to say to the contestant.

Lost - No show is more enticing or thought provoking on tv.

The Office - hilarious comedy, one of the few shows that can get me literally laughing

Scrubs - stupid humor, but my kinda humor, love this show, kinda reminds me of me and my friends a bit

Seinfeld - wouldn't be a good list w/o it, i love especially how similar it is to real life

Comedy Central Presents - generally always someone funny, but regardless it's addicting, you can't not watch once you've flipped to its channel.

I'd say there is a reasonable amount of skill in playing Wheel of Fortune. You need to know what letters to guess, have a good vocabulary, and know a fair amount of sayings and the like. I can't think of a single gameshow that requires less skill than Deal or No Deal.

If you have even a rudimentary understanding of mathematics, Deal or No Deal is 99% luck.

There isnt really much skill in Wheel or Fortune. You are just guessing letters kind of like guessing cases. Your right that Deal or No Deal doesnt take any skill at all but what makes it fun is seeing how people react when they can win a lot of money. Everybody has that greedy side in them and it ends up losing the contestants a lot of money. Every round its always "Just one more case," and then eventually they open up the high amounts. I guess I find it funny when people lose a ton of money....just as long as its not me.

My Favourite current shows:

1. Prison Break - Sheer brilliance. Everything is on point: storyline, charecters, acting, directing. I'll miss this when it finishes after season 3.

2. The Apprentice - Just Great TV IMO.Sir Alan Sugar>Trump and the British contestants are alot more obnoxious with 1 giving death threats to of candidates. I'd imagine its got boring in the states though after 6 seasons, considering its just about to be cut.

3. Hollyoaks - The British equivalent of the OC, just significantly better. A great soap, with constant good storylines. I think its going to be on bbc America, so its worth giving it a viewing.

4. Peep Show - Far and away the best current British sitcom. The main 2 charecters are just hilarious. A couple of the best clips.

Well certain letters appear more often in the English language. Plus, once some letters are already revealed you need to know what combinations are likely.

My favorite show of all time remains The Wire. I don't watch a ton of other stuff other than sports, but I finally downloaded (legally, of course) the first 6 seasons (and the movie) of Trailer Park Boys. And after watching the first 2 episodes, it's one of my favorites. My brother told me about this show quite awhile back and I just never got around to it. He should have emphasized just how kick ass it was so as to create more of a sense of urgency. Now I know what Moses' avy was all about. I will forever picture moses as bubbles when I read his posts. F'n hilarious show. I'll watch a few more episodes tonight. Highly recommended to those who have yet to discover this gem.
