Should make for an interesting poll, I was discussing this a couple days ago at work with some people and figured it would be interesting.
Basically pick 5 shows that you simply must see, the shows have to be current shows. Can't be shows that are not making anymore episodes in the future like friends or Oz. Can't be a sports show like wrestling or monday night football, etc. Can be on network or cable. Has to be a TV show, not a mini-series.
Top shows by nominees will be put in a poll later this week. Depending on the amount of nominations i'll decide how many make it in.
Doesn't have to be in any order.
1. The Shield (FX)
2. Monk (USA)
3. Chappelle's show (Comedy Central)
4, Curb Your Enthusiasm (HBO)
5. The Sopranos (HBO)

Figures you'd be the one to not be able to follow the rules, though I had Galt pegged for the position.
- Keyser Soze - 01-02-2005
1. Arrested Development
2. The Daily Show
3. Law and Order
4. The Apprentice
5. Best Week Ever (not sure if this counts)

I really watch very little television, but I always try to catch:
1. Lost
2. South Park
3. Monster Garage
4. Bullshit
5. Adult Swim
- GonzoStyle - 01-02-2005
I'd really like to not include talk shows or interview type shows like best week ever, conan, etc. I mean TV shows situation comedies, dramas, etc.
I'm on the fence with the daily show, it really shouldnt count by the standards, so it has to go otherwise i'd have included bill maher to be honest but it's a talk show. Reality shows are ok though.
Plus keep it to 5 picks, thanks.

Lost
Wifeswap
Real World / Road Rules Challenge
The Apprentice
Sopranos
Bullshit is an awesome show, but like Ali G and some others, it's just never ever on, so I don't really know if they qualify. If they, do, they'd both me on my list.
I never watch Arrested Development, but everyone I know raves about it.
I watch shows that cater to the lowest common denominator and I'm fine with it.
- Arpikarhu - 01-02-2005
1. survivor
2.daily show
3.mxc
4.any replays of the world series of poker
5. family guy
honorable mention: any do it yourself show
- The Sleeper - 01-02-2005
Curb your enthusiasm
arrested development (although ive only seen 2 episodes)
dinner for five
ali g
I can't think of a fifth and the only one of these that's a must see for me is curb
- The Sleeper - 01-02-2005
edit: If family guy counts, it's #5
- Keyser Soze - 01-02-2005
ok i see where gonzo is going with this, but do reality shows count?
if not, here is my revised list...
1. Arrested Development
2. Entourage
3. Law and Order
4. Lost
5. Chappelles Show
- Gooch - 01-02-2005
i'd count the World Series of Poker as sports. That said, it is great to watch..and i never miss it.
- lush - 01-02-2005
1. Curb Your Enthusiasm
2. Sopranos
3. Carnivale
4. Law and Order (SVU and Criminal Intent)
5. Entourage
Technically, I only watch cable shows because I never catch Law and Order on Network TV. Regular television is truly pathetic.
- drusilla - 01-02-2005
Rescue Me
Without A Trace
The Simpsons
The Apprentice
Family Guy
- Gooch - 01-02-2005
Carnivale...that was in my top 10, but not top 5. This coming season looks great.
Rescue Me i still haven't seen. Same with Entourage.
- Keyser Soze - 01-02-2005
can we get a ruling on reality shows? cause if they count, id swap in apprentice. im addicted. just about everything on HBO beats regular tv.
- Galt - 01-02-2005
Deadwood, Six feet Under, Carnivale, and the rest of the HBO shows, I haven't watched a single episode. I'm always afraid to watch something and then I get hooked and have to keep watching. Also, none of them really seemed interesting based on the promos.
Ali G is (was -- kinda tailed off near the end) amazing. Sopranos sucked for the last couple years, but last year was real good, so I'm interested again, Entourage was "eh"
