AFI top ten television shows... - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

I mentioned this on the cougarboard, but if you didn't see it, here are the top 10 shows as ranked by AFI.:

24
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
DEADWOOD
GREY'S ANATOMY
HOUSE
LOST
RESCUE ME
SLEEPER CELL
SOMETIMES IN APRIL
VERONICA MARS

Up front, I have never seen Deadwood, Sleeper Cell or Sometimes in April. I have only seen Rescue Me, Grey's Anatomy a couple of times. Anyway, interesting list. Really the only other possibilities to this list would be 'Arrested Development', 'Scrubs' or 'The Shield.' Other than that, not a bad list.

isnt it you that loves veronica mars?

other shows that should be on the list:

nip/tuck....

the shield....

big love....

Yes, Parrot Head mocks my love of Veronica though...so I am doing my best to not pimp that show any more. So instead of pimping and pumping up that show, you need to check out Battlestar Galactica. That is an awesome show with terrific writing.

What? No American Idol? Seriously though, where is Curb Your Enthusiasm?

Just started watching Greys Anatomy right after the superbowl, crazy guy built a homemade bomb shell, put it in a grenade launcher and shot his friend, the shell didnt go off and was live in his friends chest, bunch of drama, two guys blow up at the end, been hooked ever since.

The L Word is decent nothing like lesbian love, a few others i would add to the list:

Scrubs
My Name is Earl
The Shield (I used to love when the guy in this was THE COMMISH)
Sportscenter

I used to be such a Sportscenter junkie, but now I can't bare to watch it. It really makes me feel old. (I also listen to a lot of talk radio on the AM dial on the talkie!

ops: ) It's probably been at least two years since I watched it with any regularity. All of the hosts are a caricature of themselves -- or of the more popular guys, at least -- and that grinds away at me. If I do watch it, I'll turn down the volume. I prefer to read the scores and articles online or if it's really important, I'll see it on PTI -- that's one of my must-sees.

BOO-YAH this!!! BOO-YAH that!!! and Salisbury and that nerd guy annoy me to death. Fact or Fiction: Sportscenter makes my ears bleed? FACT!

I don't have ADD, guys.
