That's about it. There's plenty of shows that I try to remember to watch, but those 4 are my only "must see" shows.

I'm just now getting started on CSI and Lost on DVD. I'm fairly sure they'll both end up on my "must see" list when I get caught up.

[sigh]Scrubs[/sigh] - Come on NBC! WTF. This will take the 5 spot GA holds for me right now, and bump GA to the list below.

** extras ** - i.e. shows that if I missed an episode it wouldn't be a big deal, but are still must watch shows
The Office
ER

But I would say Lost is my only must-see-at-all-costs show currently on TV...those last four join the bunch when they are on.

1. The Office (gettin' better with each episode)
2. Scrubs (always hilarious, but when the hell is it on nowadays?)
3. Everybody Hates Chris (the first 'urban' sitcom I can actually identify with, not to be offensive or anything)
4. My Name is Earl (good ol' Jason Lee)
5. Smallville (steadily staying the course)

I'd put Lost up in there if I had managed to catch the first season. As it stands, I haven't seen the season 1 episodes and don't want to ruin the season two eps by watching them now.

EDIT: Forgot about Family Guy. I'd put that at a tie for #2 spot with Scrubs.

Prison Break
24
Family Guy
American Dad
King of Queens

and since limits of 5 suck, im making it 7 cuz

The Office
My Name is Earl

are just as much must watch at the first 5.

The thing is, I have my must watch shows, and then other than sports, the TV is off.
