Chris and his Top Ten TV shows

I know these are mostly comedies, but other than sports and news, that's about all I watch. If you like this list, I highly recommend going here .

  1. Freaks and Geeks: Hilarious before having kids, heartbreaking after.
  2. The Simpsons: I used to love this show so much, and remember it as being really subversive. Now I think it's become pretty lame and useless, but I'm glad Matt Groening became so insanely successful. He seems like a great guy and the Life/Love is Hell comics are masterpieces as were the first ten or so years of this show.
  3. Mr. Show: Brilliant show. Why Run, Ronnie, Run was such an unwatchable piece of shit is still beyond me.
  4. News Radio: Great writing, great cast. I used to watch this religiously and to this day I give Andy Dick the benefit of the doubt whenever he gets arrested or embarrasses himself some other way.
  5. Monty Python’s Flying Circus: I still think I'm cool for liking this, even though Kara and her friends seem to regard it the way they do Dungeons and Dragons.
  6. 30 Rock: I've been watching this a lot lately. Some of the best TV writing I've seen.
  7. Late Night with David Letterman: I lived for this show in high school and one of the greatest thrills of my life was to be on it. (Yeah, I was on it. Drew Carey was on that night too! He and Kara got into a fight.)
  8. The Larry Sanders Show: I watched every episode. Loved every episode.
  9. The Daily Show / The Colbert Report: I read lefty blogs a lot during the day and these shows help me come down from getting so outraged. (Coexist, y'all)
  10. The Wire: We're watching this now, and it is so good that if I never see another episode, it's still in the top ten.

So there's my list, but a few years ago, Bosom Buddies would have been number one, so take it with a grain of salt.

Dude. Why did you forget "Grey's Anatomy"?

Oh, also The New 90210.

Also, don't forget 30 Minute Meals. That Rachael Ray is such a little tramp. I mean scamp.
