AFI's list of the Top 10 shows of 2006
They do it in alphabetical order
Battlestar Galactica
Dexter
Elizabeth I
Friday Night Lights
Heroes
The Office
South Park
24
The West Wing
The Wire
A pretty good list.
Elizabeth I is the only show I haven't seen. I would have put The Shield and Weeds in over Heroes, The West Wing, or 24.

I've never even heard of Dexter.
I'm not sure about The West Wing. It was a great show once but not in 2006.

^^ I just looked it up. It's on Showtime. That explains it, since I don't get Showtime, I'll have to wait for the DVDs.
From what I read about it it actually looks pretty good. I'm a big fan of Michael C. Hall

Did "30 Rock" not qualify? Because it's definitely the best comedy on TV now.

This is actually one of the better lists that I have seen of this genre. I am not a fan of Dexter and don't know anything about Elizabeth I, but aside from that, I agree with everything on the list.

That is amazing. I'll admit to never seeing The Shield, and I'm not a fan of CSI or Law and Order, but I have seen them.
What to you watch, or are you more of a movie guy and very little TV?
