Going into the Fall, Your top 10 shows are...
These are mine:
1. ED--just love it! Julie Bowen is so beautiful!!!!
2. the Sopranos-best overall quality by far, just wish it was on a
more regular schedule (shows in the fall, reruns in the summer)
3. the X-Files (my old favorite, slipping...but I want to give it one more chance and I still love Gillian.
4. Buffy The Vampire Slayer-Almost as addicted to it as I am to the Sopranos
5. Sex and the City-love the show, hate the schedule
6. Friends-Major slipping here...but I love these characters and will look forward to spending probably my last year with them
7. Everybody Loves Raymond-most underappreciated show on tv.
8. The Simpsons-What can I say? It does help that no one ever gets any older
9. Will & Grace-last season was pretty bad. I hope it gets back on track this year.
10. tie Felicity-I should be too old for this, but it's cute AND smart!
Ally McBeal-This might be a show of loyalty (I'm kind of mad they changed the theme song a bit) and because Robert Downey Jr.
made this show great again. I hope it can stay at that level without him.
PS- I didn't include reality shows or talk shows or newsmagazines in the top 10. But Survivor is the best reality, Letterman the best talk, and 60 minutes the best newsmagazine show on tv.

Only 10, huh? That's a mighty tall order for me. Let's see how I do. The themes of what I love will be quite easy to detect.
- top three are truly a tie for me:
1. Buffy - smart, funny, fantasy, drama- doesn't get any better
2. Angel - a lot of the great elements of Buffy plus David Boreanaz
3. Gilmore Girls - smart, funny, sweet, moving - I love this wonderful show
-the next 7 are SO close it's almost impossible for me to rank one higher than the other, though Friends is not as funny on average as it was in the earlier seasons:
4. Farscape - great sci fi - along the lines of B5 with number of characters, level of writing, interesting stories
5. Roswell - sci fi, charismatic cast, teen drama (guilty pleasure
), interesting stories told
6. Sex and the City - one of a kind - fantastic writing - love the clothes/lifestyles/aspects of femininity explored
7. Dark Angel - love the chemistry b/w Max and Logan, sci-fi, action, entertaining - though I could definitely do without the street-slang
8. Charmed - witches (always a great fantasy element), great cast chemistry, fun stories
9. Andromeda - Star Trek elements mixed with Herc - plus love the cast and stories keep getting better
10. Friends - watched it since ep 1 - funniest cast I've ever seen (though That 70's Show is almost as good) and I care about these characters a lot, so I keep watching
Extremely close to the top 10, but as they are mostly dramas/'real' life situations instead of fantasy/sci fi they aren't at the top of my list:
X-Files - losing David Duchovny as Scully's partner dropped this into "like a whole lot still but don't love it" stage
That 70's Show
West Wing
NYPD Blue
Law and Order
Once and Again
Ally McBeal (though not as funny as it used to be)
The Practice (though last season lagged - too much fighting within the firm - this season started out fantastic)
Will and Grace (agree - last season wasn't good)
Guilty pleasures:
Dawson's Creek and Felicity - can't seem to NOT watch them
Somehow I knew I wouldn't be able to only talk about ten, but I did limit myself to 10 in the first list, which is a huge accomplishment for ranking-impaired me.

It's funny, I really don't watch many shows and the few I do seem to be Fox shows because Seinfeld comes on at 7:30 right before prime time. My favorites:
1. Family Guy
2. Simpsons
3. Futurama
4. That 70s Show
5. Titus
Other than that, I don't really catch anything regularly right now. But there are some interesting new shows, and I'll watch other shows like Drew Carey, Fraiser, Spin City, or Just Shoot Me if I catch them and enjoy them.
