Don't watch much cable but we love

Castle
New Girl
Raising Hope
Ben and Kate (is getting there)
The Middle
Modern Family
Big Bang
Suburgatory

Game of Thrones
Fringe
Breaking Bad
Justified
Mad Men
Parks and Recreation
Homeland
Dexter
The Walking Dead
The Good Wife

Ben and Kate has gotten better?

If we're talking calendar 2012:

Breaking Bad
Justified
Community
Parks & Rec
Covert Affairs
Modern Family
Louie
Big Bang Theory
Sons of Anarchy
Burn Notice

In fairness, there aren't a ton of shows I watch that aren't on my list. In fact, I'd say only Last Resort and Revolution are off the list among things I have watched (unless I'm forgetting something).

Not significantly but it's decent enough to watch every week and since I see so few it makes the top 10 by default

I am surprised not a single soul has mentioned Boss yet, though it did get canceled for poor ratings. The Vampire Diaries would get a lot more votes if anyone actually watched the CW.

andicus did in post #6

My apologies then to andicus, for overlooking his post.

I think Game Of Thrones is a cut above everything else on television right now, though Fringe is very close. Haven would show up in my top ten.

1. Breaking Bad
1b. Game Of Thrones
3. The Walking Dead

1. Homeland
2. Saturday Night Live
3. Haven
4. Parenthood
5. Community
6. Storage Wars
7. The Middle
8. Parks And Recreation
9. 30 Rock
10. Awake

Other shows I try not to miss: Chelsea Lately, The Office, Nurse Jackie, Storage Wars: Texas, Shipping Wars, Hardcore Pawn, The Rachel Maddow Show, Dave's Old Porn, Up All Night & Jeopardy.

Breaking Bad
Game of Thrones
The Walking Dead
Justified
Boardwalk Empire
Homeland
Mad Men
Louie
Fringe
Childrens Hospital

I'm going to have to actually bump Ben & Kate (which I actually enjoy) of the list in lieu of Black Dynamite, which was easily one of my favorite shows this year. Especially the episode "Just Beat it or Jackson Five Across Yo Eyes."

C'mon, people! Not a single mention of Shameless? It's no Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, or Mad Men, but a very good show that easily makes my top 10 (disclaimer: by my count, I only regularly watch 13 different shows )...and should yours!

1. Two and a Half Men
2. Whitney
3. Guys with Kids
4. Beauty and the Beast
5. Made in Jersey
6. Partners
7. Glee
8. Two Broke Girls

Said no one ever...

Favorite shows I watched this year:

The Good Wife
Game of Thrones
Strike Back
Homeland
The Walking Dead
Mad Men
Fringe
Castle
The Amazing Race
Smash

For me:

Person of Interest
The Walking Dead.

The rest I can take or leave but these are must see TV for me. And like someone said before they don't sit in the DVR long if at all.

What was the point of this list? A random crap on the shows you don't like?

In Order:

1. Mad Men
2. Breaking Bad
3. Boss
4. Boardwalk Empire
5. Game of Thrones
6. Homeland
7. Louie
8. Parks and Rec
9. Girls
10. Parenthood

Breaking Bad has been #1 for me every year it's been on...except this year. I felt the latest season of Mad Men edged it out ever so slightly. Could be an unfair advantage given BB's shortened 8-episode run.

1Mad Men
2Louie
3Community
4Cougartown
5Parenthood
6New Girl
7 Shark Tank
8Revenge
9Happy Endings
10Raising Hope

We don't have cable/satellite in the household, so my list will be rather network heavy.
The shows I enjoyed the most in the past year:

Fringe
Parks & Rec
Community
New Girl
Happy Endings
Game of Thrones
Justified
Archer
The League
Castle

So glad to see the Community love

Breaking Bad -- so amazingly good.
Game of Thrones -- Winter is finally coming
Mad Men -- the episode about Lane was pretty special

everything else...

Parks & Recreation -- just keeps getting better
Dexter -- really want this show to get back to its roots
Homeland -- very disappointing
Louie -- again very disappointing but I thought the new direction was interesting at least

Yes. yes.

(I don't have HBO or Showtime and for some reason, I missed too many eps. of AHS: Asylum and just decided to wait for the BD)

02. Elementary - best new show since Breaking Bad.
03. The Good Wife
04. Suits
05. Burn Notice
06. Mad Men
07. Walking Dead
08. Parks and Rec
09. Downton Abbey
10. Castle


Other noteworthy shows: Ben and Kate, Happy Endings, Modern Family (not nearly as good as it used to be), Fringe,Gossip Girl (actually enjoyed the last 3 or 4 eps), Bunheads

I thought I would post my top ten ... then I realized I don't even watch ten shows on a regular basis. I can only think of four:

Walking Dead
Breaking Bad (first season I watched as it aired)
Mad Men (first season I watched as it aired)
The League

Tried watching Revolution, quit. Recorded the first half dozen episodes of that submarine show, never watched them. Don't have HBO or Showtime. Started watching How I Met Your Mother on Netflix ... and I bought Tales from the Golden Monkey on DVD.
