Your favorite tv shows NOW vs. your favorite tv shows of all time
December 17, 2016 at 10:47 pm
I've had a steady favorite tv shows of all time list in my head for a very long time:
1. MST3K
2. Angel
3. Futurama
4. Star Trek: The Next Generation
5. Battlestar Galactica (reboot)
But as much as I love my top 5, I can't help but think about three shows I watch obsessively, love, and are still running: Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
I think Game of Thrones and It's Always Sunny stack up with my top 5 shows of all time. Walking Dead I love, but isn't in danger of cracking into my top 5. The Netflix shows I watch are indeed great, but don't risk breaking up my top 5 either.
What about you; do shows that you watch now, hold a candle to your personal favorites of all time?

I too am a big fan of MST3K. Then....Star Trek-TOS. I never missed an episode of Barney Miller and Hill Street Blues was pretty good. A lot of sports and documentaries.
Now the only actual show I go out of my way to watch is Bones.... and that is almost over.

Best series ever: GTV's 'Sherlock Holmes' with Jeremy Brett.
Don't really have a current favourite.

My Favorites on the air right now:

My favorites of all time:
1) Game of Thrones
2) Friends
3) Parks and Recreation
4) Scrubs
5) Arrested Development

I don't have five shows that I routinely watch, but my current favorites are House of Cards and The Strain. I can take or leave The Walking Dead these days, though I do still enjoy watching the earlier seasons.
Past favorites: Buffy the Vampire Slayer /Angel.

As far as TV goes, I usually watch news, current events, or sports. I have no all-time favorite TV show. I liked different things at different times in my life. Dukes of Hazzard and Punky Brewster when I was younger. You Can't Do That on Television and The Kids in the Hall when I was somewhat older. Rescue 9-1-1 as well.

Past favorites include Futurama, Star Trek TNG and The West Wing. Now I don't watch anything anymore.

My favorite shows are Futurama, and pretty much whatever Adult Swim does: Aqua Teen Hunger Force is the best, but Space Ghost Coast to Coast; Sealab 2021; The Heart, She Holler (Patton Oswalt's magnum opus); Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law...
As of right now, I don't really watch TV. Every year when the Game of Thrones season comes out on DVD my family gets together and binge watches it over a weekend, but otherwise there's nothing I follow. I really want to watch Stranger Things, and even more so one of its supposed influences, Twin Peaks.
Oh, and Gravity Falls is another show I love. That's really good. Even Nickelodeon's been doing some good stuff; Amazing World of Gumball and Steven Universe are, of course, not adult-oriented but are each quite enjoyable in their own way.
