Here is a list of my all-time favourite TV shows!

I wanted to expand on The Top 5 List you read here a few years back.

So here it is, My Top 10 All Time Favourite TV Shows!

1) Everwood

This show is just perfect. I have watched it from beginning to end several times and I never get bored of it. I love the way the series finale wrapped up every beautifully. I love a good story and getting that sense of closure. This show did that perfectly.

2) My So-Called Life

This show was in the Number 1 spot for so many years. It was the first television show I got obsessive about. I was working a part-time job at the time and had to make sure the VCR was set for those days I did work. I even wrote Claire Danes a fan letter. 

3) Star Trek

The Original Series was brilliant and something that my dad and I really loved. It had a lot to say about our lives and culture. It was powerfully written with great characters that have managed to stand the test of time. It has inspired movies, television series, comics, novels, and more. It is a phenomenon.

4) Breaking Bad

This series took me by surprise. I didn’t think I could get into a show about a drug dealer, but I heard so much about it, that I gave it a shot. It was train-wreck television, that’s the best description I can offer for it. The main character got into so much trouble that I would cringe as I watched it. But it was extremely compelling and I found I could relate to the main character in a way I never would have thought possible. The final episode brought things to the only ending that it could have. It was perfect!

5) Jericho

This is sit-on-the-edge-of-your-seat television. And just when you think they can’t ramp it up any more, they hit you with something at the end of the episode that makes you sad it’s over and waiting nervously for the resolution. I wish we could have got some closure to this series. It really is a crime that it was taken off the air. It was brilliant.

6) Doctor Who

This probably should be higher on my list. I first discovered it via the television movie that introduced us to the 8th Doctor. I then watched all of the 1st Doctor’s adventures courtesy of the public library, and I have been watching the series since it came back to television with 9. Doctor Who is a hero that we can all stand behind. He is a kind individual who helps people all the time, and he doesn’t carry a weapon. That is inspiring.

7) Life on Mars

I rarely watch procedural drama. There are just too many cop shows out there and they lack originality. They don’t compel me to watch them and they don’t draw me into the fictional world. This one, however did. It’s about a modern day cop who gets into an accident and wakes up thirty years in the past. He struggles trying to adjust to 1973 and also to find a way back to the present day. I love how the series wrapped up too. It was perfect.

8) M*A*S*H

This show is a classic on so many levels. It is the only sit-com on my list but it managed to transcend that form. It was hilarious but it managed to hit some really emotional arcs with some very heavy topics.

9) Friday Night Lights

This show is about a high-school football team in a town where football is life. It’s intense for everyone involved and it’s a great drama. I didn’t want to see it come to an end. I loved every episode.

10) Life Unexpected

This one took me by surprise as well. It was only on the air for two seasons but it gave us a nice story and a great sense of closure at the end. It was brilliantly written and I fell in love with the characters, especially the main character, Lux Cassidy.
