What's the best show currently on TV?

[11 Bravo]

I love "Grey's Anatomy", "Boston Legal" is terrific, "Monk" is wonderful, and I will even admit to laughing out loud at "Two and a Half Men"; but for my money, "House" may be one of the great shows of all time.

[Mojambo]

1. Battlestar Galactica

And it's not close.

[Connonym]

5. I second Battlestar Galactica, no contest

[malmapus]

32. I third that!

Nothing else even comes close currently on TV.

[ContraBass Black]

33. Fourth.

[Yavin4]

38. Narrowly Over The Wire, It's BSG

BSG has the most courageous writers on TV. They made suicide bombers look heroic.

[baldguy]

58. BSG

[LuLu550]

60. Raises hand for BSG n/t

[Little Wing]

63. hear hear!

[Archae]

2. Keith Olbermann.

Hands down.

[Karenca]

18. ditto.......nt

[lutefisk]

49. Olbermann is the best. Big Love & Sopranos are both excellent

Of course the HBO shows are off for a while, but they'll both be back.

[terrya]

3. "Ugly Betty"

I'll say it..."Ugly Betty" is the best show currently on television. Smart, funny, perfectly cast. Great, great show.

[DawgHouse]

21. One of my favorites!

[blondeatlast]

55. Absolutely. It's the ONLY non-news program (I consider TDS and Colbert Report news) I watch. nt

[mainegreen]

4. The Office.

So close to life.

[Blue-Jay]

7. Yep.

[elocs]

8. I second the vote for The Office.

I also like Heroes.

[bullwinkle428]

11. Another vote for "The Office"...plus a bonus!

"Lazy Scranton"...extended dance mix!!

[AlCzervik]

23. I loved the original so i wasn't sure i'd like the American version but i do love it

all of my favorite shows on nbc are all moving to Thursday nights! Earl, The office, Scrubs and 30 Rock, may i just say-woohoo!

[mainegreen]

26. We were pleased when 30 Rock moved.

Start at 8 and turn off at 11. Only really good night of tv in my opinion.

[AlCzervik]

27. yup, i love Heros and i'd love to see that get moved to Thursday night at 10:00

[QMPMom]

6. Ugly Betty

followed closely by Grey's Anatomy. Now, when "24" returns, all bets are off. I love that show and when it's on I must have my weekly dose of Kiefer.

[Kerrytravelers]

9. CSI

The original, in Las Vegas. A bit of shark jumping lately, but I'm holding on in hopes they return to interesting cases and not personal dramas.

[bluethruandthru]

14. I love CSI - the original - this year.

It's been much more like the first season when it was case focused instead of personality focused.
I'm also a huge 24 fan - when it returns...and this year I really like Brothers and Sisters.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

10. 24.

And for non-fiction, Daily Show.

[CatholicEdHead]

12. Battlestar Gallactica

[conscious evolution]

13. Battlestar Galatica by far

[YankeyMCC]

15. Looks like I'm the 4th vote for BSG

Absolutely the best show on TV today and certainly in the running for all time best. And it goes beyond the SciFi genre. Just plain outstanding in all respects. It's poignant now and I'm sure it will hold up over time the way good literature and art does. (Well until we're traveling through space like they do in the show perhaps, but even then it'll be worth watching for the quality of the character driven stories I think :) )

[WCGreen]

16. Mysteries of the Bible....

It's the best thing on TV to put you back to sleep on Sunday Morning....

[Akoto]

17. Good Eats with Alton Brown

:D

[ikojo]

19. I love Monk as well...

I also like Lost and Heroes. I tried watching Jericho but gave up because it got too sappy...every episode ends with a happy Brady Bunch type ending.

House...LOVE IT!! That's the kind of doctor I'd be if I were to make it through med school..or so my sister tells me. Cranky but one who cares about the patient and the outcomes.

[mduffy31]

20. House is the best show on TV

Hands down

[Gelliebeans]

22. Dr Who is coming to BBC next Tuesday

;)

[Mendocino]

24. American Experience, Nova, Nature

I like PBS.

[Allenberg]

25. Daily Show

and of course, hockey. :D

[leftofthedial]

28. Good Eats

[Omphaloskepsis]

29. The Wire n/t

[CanuckAmok]

30. I have'nt seen any of those yet, but "Lost" is a remarkable show.

I mean, it's a real adventure, and the plot's twists and turns are very creative and well-written.

[philosophie_en_rose]

31. Daily Show, Colbert Report, Heroes. That is all.

I will sometimes watch Gilmore Girls, but that show has lost all of its charm for some reason.

Lost would be on my list, except that it squanders every opportunity to move the story along. Can't they just kill Kate already?

[Bella Pisces]

50. "The Office" and "The Colbert Report". Oh, and philosophie_en_rose,

I agree with "Gilmore girls" losing its charm. I think it started when Rory lost her virginity to her married ex-boyfriend. Plus, the Luke and Lorelai friendship/relationship was pretty much trashed in the second-half of last season and the very beginning of this one. I haven't watched in several weeks.

[philosophie_en_rose]

57. I think it started its steep decline, when Rory quit Yale.

Poor me! I get a free education from an Ivy League School, but someone hurt my wittle feelings!

I agree with you about Luke and Lorelai. They turned Lorelai into a passive aggressive wimp and Luke into a bumbling fool. And I just don't buy that cheating Logan character.

I do like the other characters (except Kirk), so I'll watch it when it's on. However, I don't plan to see it anymore.

[Bella Pisces]

61. LOL: Rory's "wittle feelings".

Yeah, I felt like smacking her repeatedly during her Yale hiatus. Actually, I think that feeling started when she hooked up with Logan. I'm with you, I don't buy that one. He reminds me of Christopher, actually - which is another reason not to like him.

I still have a soft spot for Luke, though. And the other townies. But that doesn't seem to be enough to make me actively tune in.

[kwassa]

34. "The Wire" is the best HBO series ever made

which makes it the best tv show EVER.

[bigwillq]

35. Cold Case

or Without a Trace

[begin_within]

36. Ugly Betty is pretty good - never a dull moment.

[bertha katzenengel]

37. "Grey's Anatomy," hands down. "Monk" is great, and I'm hooked on

"SVU" because of Mariska Hargitay.

"The Shield" would be up there with "Grey's" if it were running right now. Does anyone know if it'll ever be back? :(

[Left Is Write]

43. I have no idea...

but I used to watch Michael Chiklis in "The Commish" all the time. I wish someone would show reruns of that one. I stayed in on Saturday nights until after the show!

[chknltl]

39. Sides with the Battlestar Galactica gang...

Although if the Seahawks were on at the same time I would have to tivo BSG

[qnr]

40. Aside from the political ones, the only ones I bother remembering to watch are Meerkat Manor, Eureka

and Heroes

[u4ic]

41. The Passionate Eye

A documentary series on cbc. http://www.cbc.ca/passionateeyemonday/

[momophile]

42. "Veronica Mars"

but we don't get cable or maybe I'd say "Battlestar Galactica"

the only sitcom we watch is "How I Met Your Mother"

[Gormy Cuss]

44. My Name is Earl.

Monk would be my second choice.

[JaneQPublic]

45. The Weather Channel's "Local on the 8s" (nt)

[jobycom]

46. Avatar: The last air bender, or else Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations

[Jamastiene]

47. My favourites are Medium, Ghost Whisperer and House, M.D.

I also love CSI: Miami too.

[Strawman]

48. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

[Mojambo]

64. Yep. Best comedy on TV. n/t

[Bombtrack]

51. I never know whether the Sopranos is considered being "on the air"

but if it is, man I could use a new episode of that. I can even enjoy repeats.

[Cobalt-60]

52. BSG Here

This show is good enough to have been written by the BBC.
I haven't seen fit to get cable. But I find a way to view Battlestar and the various Stargate derivatives every time they show a new one.

[peekaloo]

53. Boston Legal. Starting on the 30th NBC's gonna have the best Thursday

lineup. Earl, The Office, Scrubs!!!!!!!!, 30 Rock.

:bounce:

[Guava Jelly]

54. Medium,Office,Earl,Daily show,heroes

And shows like psychic detectives and Forensic type programs interest me.
I haven't been watching much tv lately

[lildreamer316]

56. Studio 60, Boston Legal.

My shameful guily sin is Las Vegas, for the escapisim.

[sakabatou]

59. Depends on the genre

Animated: Bleach
Medical: House
Detetective: L&O, SVU, Monk
Sci-Fi: BSG
News: KO, Report, Daily Show

[Dastard Stepchild]

62. Bones. It's not the best show BY FAR...

But I completely love Bones's monotone delivery (from the TV show of the same name). It lulls me into the most magnificent stupor. I want her to get really, really passionate about something, and yet she remains so very chill. I keep waiting for her to completely flip her lid, and when she does, it will be so very gratifying. The other day she almost died by being buried alive, and when they pulled her out all dusty and whatnot, she had the affect of a person that just, you know, dropped a paperclip on the ground. LOVES IT!
