It's not a sporting event, so a tie is a tie and no one gets bumped. In other words, I needed to find a way to keep 4 extra shows in my top 50.

You could have 52 and make it a card theme of sorts.

Survivor, LOST and Amazing Race would probably all be in my top 10.

Re: Are any shows currently airing in your top 10 all-time?

I would say quite a few shows currently on I would call top 10.

Breaking Bad
Burn Notice
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Dexter
South Park

It might be a little early to call Breaking Bad, Burn Notice, and Dexter top 10 of all time, but I can see them getting there for sure and would say they currently fit in my top 10.

The rest of my list would probably be:
All in the Family
Batman: The Animated Series
Seinfeld
Six Feet Under
The Sopranos

Re: Are any shows currently airing in your top 10 all-time?

In no particular order I'd say Psych; Dexter; Supernatural and Chuck.

Breaking Bad could very well be the next to crack the top 10 if the series is as good as I believe it to be and have heard it to be, I have the seasons on dvd but havent watched them yet.
Just started watching Its always Sunny and it is really good.

As for my other top shows, there's the Shield; Spaced; Farscape; Twilight Zone; most of That 70's Show (the last couple seasons really stunk); and for number 10 I think its a tie between Futurama and South Park.

Dexter is definitely. Chuck, probably. House, maybe. The Mentalist and Psych, most likely.

Although I love a lot of shows right now, Lost is the only one in my top ten.

Re: Are any shows currently airing in your top 10 all-time?

Looking at it, I'd actually say most of my top 10 are currently airing, bizarre as that sounds:

Futurama
The Golden Girls
Jeopardy!
Cheers
Psych
Lost
Family Guy
(Though not so much recent seasons...)
Community (Probably too early to call)
The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson
Batman: The Animated Series

Doctor Who for sure (I count from the relaunch on as one thing). Things like Supernatural, Burn Notice, and Son's of Anarchy are my favorite shows running right now, but I don't know if they would make the all time list. If True Blood had as great a second season as the first, and Big Love's last season was as good as season 3, those would be in the discussion as well. As it stands? Not so much.

LOST, Breaking Bad, Curb Your Enthusiasm, *Supernatural, *Dexter and *Mad Men. (*OK, these would probably more likely be in a top 20 or 30, rather than a top 10)

Brave man, that show got ripped with more consistency than anything else here I've ever seen I think. Watched all 4 seasons myself so far, we'll see how the last goes I guess.

South Park, Lost, Spartacus, CSI (the original), The Tudors, How I Met Your Mother, House are some of my favorite right now.

Four that come to mind right away:

Breaking Bad - Easily the best show on television right now, imo, and it only gets better.

The Simpsons - Durable, comfortable, funny.

Dexter - I love a good anti-hero, and Dexter fits the bill without equal.

Lost - Sure, I haven't experienced the finale yet, but so far over 6 seasons it has consistently made me think outside the box.

Not sure about top 10, never thought about it but in a top 50, I'd have to agree with Chuck, Lost and FNL.
