Top 10 Favorite Shows
A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post about my top ten favorite movies of all time. Then for awhile I started using youtube clips as an easy update, so I figured it was time for a real one. Therefore I thought this would be fun, and something to do because I am bored. Once again, these are my top ten. While many will agree, I hope that most will disagree because everybody should have their opinion. Here we go...
1-Southpark
People can argue all they want about which is better. Southpark, Family Guy, or the Simpsons. For me it's a no-brainer. Southpark owns the two of them. South Park recently did an episode about the lazy, non-plot related humor that the Family Guy writers use. It's hilarious stuff, but it is almost just one cheap laugh after another. Southpark has episodes relating to current events. Turning serious things into jokes. Plus Matt Stone and Trey Parker write the scripts really well and have developed some great characters over the years.
2-Family Guy
Although in my unproffesional opinion Family Guy couldn't touch Southpark on its best of days, I still think it's great. Comparing it to Southpark is unfair, because they're two completely different shows. A more accurate comparison would be Family Guy and the Simpsons because of the main families, funny but less intelligent fathers and other things. Putting Family Guy against the Simpsons, and I'll take Family Guy.
3-Boy Meets World
The first non-cartoon to crack the top ten. This sitcom is one that everybody should watch no matter the age. I previously wrote a post about Boy Meets World and what not so I'll make this quick. Boy Meets World is great. From the less dramatic more comedic earlier episodes right up until they're in college and everything is dead serious. Either or, it's wonderful and I will forever be a Boy Meets World fan.
4-Sportscenter
I'm not sure if this qualifies as a show, but it should because it airs at certain times on TV. I probably watch Sportscenter more than any other show, sometimes I'll watch the same epidsode several times in a row for no reason at all. I know all the Sportscenter anchors and even pick favorites, therefore I consider myself a fan of the show. Better than any other news show.
5-The Simpsons
I didn't know where exactly to place this cartoon legend. I used to watch the power hour every day on FOX from 6-7. But nowadays I don't seem to watch it at all. Nonetheless, even if you can't catch episodes on a daily basis, it still has to make the top ten. Come on, it's Michael Jackson.
6-Saved By the Bell(The High School Years)
Saved By the Bell is one of the most underrated shows of my generation. Loads of people, including a sibling of mine grew up idolizing Zack Morris. Who didn't though. He was smooth, smart, charming, attractive, and everything else you can find in a man. Jessie was always a buzzkill with her feminist movements, and Lisa Turtle was just taking up space. If the main cast was; Zazk, AC Slater, Screech, Kelly, Torii, and Mr Belding, it probably would have cracked the top five.
7-Chapelle's Show
This was the toughest ranking for me, because nothing at all stood out. The first six were easy, just where to put them. From here it's filling in the blanks. Chapelle's Show is hilarious. I still watch the re-runs regularly. Hell, it might have even passed the Simpsons had Dave Chapelle not decided to quit. But whatever, that's his choice, it's his adventure. If he wants to go down on some dealer in an Escalade that's up to him.
8-Cribs
Again, at this point in the rankins there are a bunch of shows right up there together. But whenever Cribs is on, I watch it. That is something I can say about only a few shows. I like watching rich people's houses. I think it's cool to see what cool shit they have and how they designed their houses with so much money. I bet for a lot of people this show sucks, but I love it.
9-Doug
With only two spots left in the rankings I figured it would be absurd to leave out a Nickelodeon cartoon. My favorite one is easily Doug so there it is. A lot of people will complain how it isn't on anymore. Well, I'll complain with you. But even when it's not on I will always be a fan of Doug, Mr Dink, Vice Principal Bone, The Honker Burger, Patty, Roger, Skeeter, Judy, Porkchop, Principal Buttsavage, Mrs Wingo, Nematoads, and anything esle associated with Doug Funny.
10-Playmakers
Rouding out the top ten was a one hit wonder. Playmakers was a fictional show on ESPN that aired only for one season because of the controvery surrounding it. The NFL threatened that they would not allow ESPN to air their games if Playmakers continued. So it ended, but it was great in its time. And one can only hope they eventually start it up again.

I'd be willing to bet money that Tom Lohmaier argues about the absence of Rocco's Modern Life.
southpark and chapelle are my life
...Horrrrrible list, absolutely horrible (discarding Doug and Saved by the bell).
CC's List:
Laguna Beach
The OC
One Tree Hill
Grey's Anatomy
Desperate Housewives
Any other show on MTV
...Enough said
Well put Shane, except you forgot Kyle XY and Falcon Beach
Good list I guess bro, I don't really wathc a lot of tv anymore but ,ost of your shoes were pretty good. I gotta say i would kick cribs to he curb because it moves very slowly and i pesonally think that it gets repetative. I like Next a whole butt load. And i really want to see Playmakers return.
i agree with reggie (nathan), Next is a good one!
Next is great, but I had to choose one MTV show that's on several times a week in marathon form. And I like Cribs better. I would say if Cribs weren't on, Next would be right up there
loved the list and saved by the bell was deff. only good in the high school years i mean come on i never knew they went back and worked and the high school after college untill a few weeks ago. now thats just beating a show into the ground. but you seem to have over look a show that is easily one of the best sitcom's of all time. seinfeld wit characters like kramer and george how cant you love that show
