Well, you don't 'watch' Underbelly, as much as skipping through for all the b**bs.

Just repost it in a new post, rather than editing it because I have no way of knowing if you've edited it. I'll delete your old votes from the count.

The basic idea:

You can either choose 5 shows and nominate one as your absolute favourite (this show will count as two votes)
Or, nominate a 6th show. See the rules link above or the first post to see examples.​

Summary count as of this post, full list is on post 2 and the Rules.

Votes counted up to post 63.
Votes cast: 199. Voters: 34.

IMDb, Wiki__ 13 | House
IMDb, Wiki__ 10 | Top Gear
IMDb, Wiki__0 9 | Dexter
IMDb, Wiki__0 8 | The Office (US)
IMDb, Wiki__0 8 | The Big Bang Theory
IMDb, Wiki__0 7 | Arrested Development

Also: if you post a show that doesn't have the 'imdb wiki' links yet, if you could post them (without the URL tags) along with your votes that would be fantastic.

Dexter
House
Desperate Housewives
Futurama
Bones

 

[MICHAELSD]

Dexter
House
The Office (US)
Fringe (why not? some episodes are pretty good)
Family Guy (today's funniest, with the most well thought out jokes, animated show)

Honorable Mentions:

Lie to Me (I really hope the series can keep a better consistency)
I just started watching The Sopranos from the beginning, so I would expect it to make it into my top list by next year
Entourage (might have been in a higher position if I can catch up with all of the seasons. I want this on Netflix's Instant Watch)

It's great to see Dexter at the top of many people's lists, it's my favorite show by far. I hope we can at least get another three seasons and a few movies 😉.

Dexter
24
The Ultimate Fighter/UFC Stuff

The Closer

There are more, but hey you said only to list 6. 🙁

 

[yg17]

Top Gear
The IT Crowd (still around?)
Mythbusters
South Park
Married With Children

I know MWC hasn't had any new episodes in over 10 years, but reruns air frequently on TBS and it's still one of the funniest shows on TV.

The IT Crowd (still around?)

Yup - new season starts in a week or two ;-)

I just discovered E.R. Good show, good characters and there are 15 seasons. I'm halfway through season one. I never saw a single episode when it was on TV.

Get ready for a long ride. ER is an enjoyable show. It had staying power because the characters and writing were so good. The cast shuffled some as usual with all long running series, but in the end they remained true to the vision of the show and the main characters that were a part of the story. I hope you like it.
