Vote for The X-Files 1) The X-Files

“X-Files rocked! The only reason I would come home to watch TV was this show. The biggest let down when it ended. Loved the movie and still waiting for another one.”

wally24

“Does not really suprise me.

I’am an X-Phile since 1995 and proud of it. ;)
And this love will never end.”

LadyVanilla

“When I saw the first episode, I mean my first episode the mystery of the movies soundtrack made a big influence on me. In big part the movie itsealf is a big mistery what keeps you face to face with your television from the beginning too the end...”

Vote for Friends 4) Friends

“Alright, I went back and forth with putting it as number two or three. I LOVE Friends. I watched from day one and never lost intrest for 10 years. It’s the only series that I own all 10 seasons of on dvd. Very funny, well written show. Phoebe and Ross are my personal favs, but it’s hard to chose since they are all unique in their own way. BEST ENSEMBLE CAST OF ANY SERIES EVER!”

danalana

“Im a black guy from the hood... so this show shouldn’t spark any interest to me but when I saw an episode of friend I loved it. I lost a lot of street cred... lol but its the only show that I got all 10 seasons to... best show ever... them some funny ass white ppl...”

Vote for Little House on the Prairie 9) Little House on the Prairie

“My all time favorite. I didn’t have a stable home life and I swear this show helped me with that in so many ways. I grew up watching and loving this series and learned so many lessons and values from it. No, it was not like the books, but a classic in it’s own right. I don’t think there were more pure and gentle characters than Charles Ingalls. It centered on family and love and what it means to be a human being.

All time favorite episode, "I’ll Be Waving As You Drive Away". Kills me everytime for reasons I won’t get into.. CLASSIC. The best tv program ever made.”

danalana

“This show had it all. Great acting by some of the best TV actors of all time. It had decent family morals in it. I am 37 years old and proud to call this my favourite show of all time ever since my mom made me watch it when I was only 7 years old!!”

Vote for That ’70s Show 14) That ’70s Show

“My All time favorite sitcom. This is one of the most underestimated tv shows around. Seasons 1-4 were the best. The cast made this series more than the decade did. I really loved this show. It was endearing, cutting edge, heartbreaking, crude and FUNNY all at the same time. Well rounded, ensemble cast, but in my opinion Topher Grace was the backbone of the seies.”

danalana

“Love this show, should be in top 10”

Flyingcobra

“Cast, concept and writing all came together to produce one interesting episode after another. Each character could be your favorite at any given moment because they were well played by their actors. Red, Mom, Eric, Hyde, Kelso, Fez, Donna and Jackie... forever an under-rated classic.”

Vote for Buffy the Vampire Slayer 25) Buffy the Vampire Slayer

“By far the greatest show of all time. Doesn’t get the credit it deserves because a lot of people haven’t seen it because it wasn’t on a big time network, they don’t even consider watching it because of its name, and because the movie was not good at all. It’s funny, exiting, scary, dramatic, and it’s got a major life metaphor. If you haven’t seen it, go to your video store and rent the first season, if you can get past the cheesiness of the first season you will fall in love with it during the second season.”

james1999

“greatest show of all time. wicked smart. it has professors writing text books covering all of its beauty, complexities, metaphors, philosophical, pop culture and societal effects. the most seminal for sure.”

“The greatest television show of all time!”

“This show has it all. Awesome characters, mind blowing story, a bit of comedie but not to much, great acting, and Angelus may just be the greatest most sadistic evil badguy to ever land in a show. But you can’t really hate Angelus because he’s just so cool and smart, but in a bad way obviously. This show may be just a spin-off from Buffy but it is still so much better. This show takes all the aspects of Buffy the vampire slayer and makes them 20x better. I’m not exadurating. Its that good!”

Mystery! has brought to American television, such productions as Prime Suspect, Touching Evil, Cracker (the good version), - these are some personal favorites I can think of. The list is long.”
