You forgot the best show on TV though "Fringe".
Flash Forward is definitely in the right place.
Modern Family would be higher on my list of the best though.
Its great to see Al Bundy working in comedy again.

i looked at house and fringe as top ten and house i think needed the spot
also in honorable mention *good tv shows but not ranked as high as say monk or house or community*
Fringe,Doll house, 2 1/2 men, The closer, PSYCH, Saving grace, Mad men,Burn notice, white collar crimes,COugar town and Lie to me
Dis honorable mention in bad tv shows (would have been 11)
SGU
just didnt have the room =(

I understand, I couldn't do it myself.
I have never seen 17 of those shows.
The Office would actually be on my Worst list. Just... don't find it funny.
And I'm surprised that Criminal Minds isn't on your top 10. I absolutely love that show. 24, too.
But then again, I'm a La Femme Nikita fan. Always liked edgy spy drama.

i like criminal minds ,but dont like 24 . but top 10 is very restricted...
as Ood Sigma said....We will sing to you, Doctor. The universe will sing you to your sleep. This song is ending. But the story never ends.
I would have put Big Bang Theory in the Top 10. I did not care for it when it first came out but has definitely improved.
Paragonian Knights
Justice Company
The Jay Leno show certainly deserves its spot. The first episode got beat in the ratings up here by Ice Pilots NWT on History Television by about 100,000 viewers. That's bad. Really bad.
House is the only show there I watch, although I'd also throw Castle and Supernatural into the best list.
They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!

My TV habits have changed radically in the last decade. I hardly ever watch network TV anymore, and the 30-minute "show" is practically a dodo for me now. I find, if I am careful I can avoid ever seeing a commercial for weeks at a time. The only thing that breaks this rule is the occasional live sporting event.
So I'm gonna offer my own list, but its an "all-time" list, not a 2009 list:
10. Charlie Rose - with the right topic and the right guests, it might just be the best show on television.
9. Monday Night Football - Not so much now, but when I was single it was nice to take Monday night "off" from the singles scene, and just have a brew with a few buddies and watch a football game. It wasn't so much the game, it was the Monday night - something to do on what is usually a dreary night.
8. Columbo - This has no business being on anyone's "top 10" list, but I am a sucker for Falk's character and I love the general theme of a slobby, working-class guy outwitting the arrogant "high-class" guy. A much better detective show than any CSI-thing, mostly because it was campier and funnier.
7. The Daily Show - I hate the show's political bias, but I love the show's send-up of mass-media and cable networks. John Oliver's skits almost never fail to make me laugh.
6. Adam West's Batman - No leather nipples and foam core biceps - just pure West.
5. Simpsons - Sure it jumped the shark after the fifth season, but during its pinnacle this was delicious satire.
4. Star Trek - Forget the stoic, dry, hum-drum iterations of the 80's. Get me a Star Trek episode with Captain Kirk and Abraham Lincoln duking it out with Klingons!
3. Arrested Development - Just one episode (perhaps the one where "hot cops" try to teach Micahel Cera a lesson) has more laughs in that 30 minutes than all of the seasons of MASH, Cheers and Facts of Life put together.
2. HBO - Rome, John Adams, From the Earth to the Moon, Bill Maher, any comedy special with Chris Rock - there's too many great shows not to list this entire network all on its own. Easily my most watched network of all of them on my dial.
1. Gilligan's Island - A sublime statement on the nature of sin, rich with Freudian subtext and coupled with a superb allegory to Dante's purgatory. Easily, and without any chance of argument, the most subtle, brilliant and intellectually challenging television show ever created. Plus Mary-Ann had bewbs.
*Quick shout out to the HDNet Movie network, that shows great movies all the time, in HD, commercial free. Also honorable mentions to Sesame Street and "Schoolhouse Rock". I also like Powerpuff Girls. Yes. Powerpuff Girls. My favorite is Buttercup.
WORST OF ALL TIME
10 Facts of Life - Never funny. Ever.
9 Diff'rent Strokes - See "Facts of Life"
8 MASH - There's camp, and then there's schmaltz. Camp=good. Schmaltz=suxxor.
7 FOX News / MSNBC - These two cable networks suck. I hate them. So I put them on my list. Keith Olbermann and Sean Hannity in particular can suck it.
6 The Antique Road Show - Proof that even PBS can peddle crap.
5 Every reality show ever invented
4 Every game show ever invented.
3 Lost - Endless threads that are never resolved or explained, doesn't make the writing "cerebral" it makes the writing suxx.
2 Veggie Tales - Morale preaching from asparagus? No thanks.
1 Jack Van Impe - I am an old man. I have seen this shyster peddle the apocalyspe for three decades. The general theme is: God is about to smite you, so buy my latest book and be saved. In the late 70's it was fluoride in the water and text books that dared to mention Darwin that proved we were all going to die soon. In the early 80's it was barcodes that meant "666". Then it was credit cards and the Visa company. Then it was the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the invention of the Euro. Then it was particle colliders and computer modems. Gorbachev was the devil. Then it was Francois Mitterand. Then, Bill Gates was the devil. Now its Barack Obama. I watch this guy to laugh at him, but then every once in a while my wife reminds me this crook weasels people out of their money for fear that God will smite them any day now and send them all to a fiery hell. I also am obsessed his hair cut, which by the way is totally LOL.
When I want to play an evil villain in RP, and really think about what "evil" truly is, I think of Jack Van Impe.

Sounds like an intriguing TV show... what's the plot? Who writes the script? Director's name? What's the protagonist's name?|

I don't watch a lot of TV. If it isn't sports related I usually am not intersted, so I haven't seen most of the shows listed. But what I have seen makes me put 2 and a half Men, How I met your mother, and BBT in there. House is always great. And... I haven't seen the rest.

If I want office comedy, I prefer Better Off Ted. The episodes Racial Sensitivity, Goodbye, Mr. Chips, and Jabberwocky were brilliant takes on corporate America and Dilbert would have approved.
