The Unit

FantasticVSDoom 10-14-08 07:38 AM

Dexter

GradVT06 10-14-08 07:39 AM

Lost or NCIS. I don't watch a single show on that list.

Tom Banjo 10-14-08 08:24 AM

Of those currently airing, Chuck and The Shield top my list. And LOST goes to the top when it comes back next year.

Vipper II 10-14-08 08:26 AM

Supernatural - no show currently on the air entertains me nearly as much, let alone so consistently.

tommyp007 10-14-08 08:35 AM

CSI, still awesome.

starman9000 10-14-08 09:27 AM

30 Rock

It's a toss up between Prison Break and Supernatural. Also think True Blood and Chuck should have made the list.

Mad Men is up there with some of the best television ever created; substantive, nuanced and above all, entertaining. It's easily head and shoulders above anything on TV right now.

Yeah, that's why I went for the Unit. Once Lost is back, everything else drops a notch. :)

Septemberbaby 10-14-08 10:51 AM

Friday Night Lights.

And yes, it's on tv right now. Maybe not your tv, but it's on mine! ;)

I would give Mad Men a close second.

chrisih8u 10-14-08 11:05 AM

I'm surprised so many people are saying Supernatural. I watched the first 3 episodes. It wasn't bad, but not the greatest show on tv. Should I give it another go?

LickTheABCs 10-14-08 11:42 AM

Supernatural.

kefrank 10-14-08 11:49 AM

That poll is absurd without the Office and 30 Rock as options.

celmendo 10-14-08 11:56 AM

I hit other because I was going to say Lost and Battlestar Galactica but I guess they are not on "right now" but they're still current shows so I felt they counted. As far as right now I'll go with Supernatural and It's Always Sunny for pure enjoyment.

JuryDuty 10-14-08 11:56 AM

The Office, The Amazing Race, Survivor, Samantha Who?, Dirty Sexy Money, Terminator, Battlestar Galactica, 30 Days, Lost, 24...why aren't any of these up there?

starseed1981 10-14-08 12:09 PM

Friday Night Lights...with Dexter a close second...and Burn Notice a close third.

bigsoos 10-14-08 12:17 PM

Another vote for Supernatural.

dick_grayson 10-14-08 12:27 PM

re-runs of Cops

Groucho 10-14-08 12:49 PM

CSI: Miami

(CSI: New York can suck it)

...and we have a winner!!!

Aegean2007 10-14-08 03:48 PM

My Top 10:

1. Mad Men
2. The Shield
3. Friday Night Lights
4. Dexter
5. The Office
6. Pushing Daisies
7. It's Always Sunny
8. Life
9. Prison Break
10. Chuck


(I didn't put Lost, 30 Rock, Burn Notice, or BSG on because they're not "on right now," and I didn't put on Supernatural because I haven't fully caught up on it yet.)

Yes you should.
I felt the same way as you and until halfway through season 1 (yes that long), then something happened and it's been getting better ever since.

rotfl Prison Break and True Blood even being mentioned in this thread

I admit that the last two seasons were not great (the last season in particular; I even gave up on it but decided to catch up on it over the summer), but this season has been great so far. If you're judging the show based on the last season, you should give it another shot, but that's just my opinion.

bunkaroo 10-14-08 04:40 PM

I'll go with The Unit until Lost is back.

The Shield is good but not great this season. I'm enjoying Californication quite a bit too.
