Pretty disappointed in my last one actually, the first two are no question but I couldnt really think of a third show I just cant miss.  Also watch Franklin and Bash, Criminal Minds, NCIS, Law & Order, New Girl, Mindy Project, Castle, Modern Family etc. when I have time or am hungover on the couch on a weekend but none are cant miss.

1. Big Bang Theory
2. Mindy Project
3. How I met your mother

These are the only things I watch with any consistancy, even then, I just catch up on the weeks I missed...think I'm three or four weeks behind on them now.

All time
1. Roseanne
2. Golden Girls
3. SNL

I'll watch and rewatch those shows all. day. long.

Other ones on the list somewhere

Always Sunny

Breaking bad would probably be up there if I watched most of it as it came.  Watching the first 4 or so seasons on DVD prior to watching it weekly on tv limited my enjoyment to a couple month period instead of a 4 year period.  Not true of all shows, but I think taking the time and seeing the change over a longer period would help my appreciation of Breaking Bad.

I honestly can't put together a list of 3.  I just can't do it without having an enormous "Honorable Mention" list. 
One that I am surprised that hasn't been mentioned yet is The League.  Hilarious show.

It's tough because shows ebb and flow or maybe peaks and valleys is better. 

Later seasons of Seinfeld
Middle seasons of Always Sunny
All of Arrested development
All of Life and Times of Tim
Middle to later seasons of Southpark
Most of Archer so far
Some middle to later sodes of The Office
Most of Eastbound and Down

No particular order and there are more than three.  Non-comedy television shows are pretty terrible generally speaking.  Can't get into them.  I'd rather watch a movie or read a book.

Secret Girlfriend is 3a.  It's 3a because it only lasted 6 episodes.  However, if you ranked the 10 funniest episodes of any show of all time, it will be 5 Seinfeld and 5 Secret Girlfriend.  Why Comedy Central did absolutely no promoting of it, I have no idea.

Smallville (first 5 seasons)
Supernatural (first 5 seasons)
Walking Dead

I suppose if the criteria is "longest amount of time a show has/had me by the balls/vag" then I would rank them as:

1. Psych
2. Supernatural
3. Dexter

6th-7th grade Nicname is pissed at current Nicname for not including "The Secret Life of Alex Mack" on any of his lists.  6th-7th grade Nicname had a huge crush on Alex Mack and would have married her in an instant if she would have responded to all of my fanmail.  We would have lived a long and happy life together; complete with kids that could turn themselves into metallic liquid.


Also, current Nicname wants to distinguish between early episodes of LITB and later episodes of LITB.  Early episodes were great and one of my all-time faves.  Later episodes, as the Beav moves into his teenage years become weird and awkward.  It is they turned this funny little kid into a mildly-Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) buffoon. They didn't have to do that.  They also changed the mom's character a bunch.  In the earlier episodes she was pretty cool and witty, often making snarky comments and comebacks under her breath.  Later on she was like some valiumed up weirdo stepford wife.
