As I find more great shows to watch, there is a potential for this list to change over time.
10 - Top Gear (UK) - This is funny to watch and I like cars! What more can I say?
9 - The Big Bang Theory - One of the very few current sitcoms that doesn't seem to be running out of ideas and getting. I find this show very enjoyable. Although some people didn't like the addition of Amy and Bernadette, I would have to disagree. I find Amy to be one of the funniest characters on the show.
8 - Blue Mountain State - Probably quite surprising as I assume it wasn't that popular as it got stopped after three seasons. However, I found this show very enjoyable all the way through.
7 - The Office (US) - It had it's ups and downs in the areas of getting a bit dry, but it is one of my favourite sitcoms. Steve Carrell is one of my favourite actors and although once he left it did start declining in humour, what they did do right was make us grow to love the characters. I found myself wanting Jim and Pam to be happy with each other and I even began to route for Dwight. And despite the fact that it wasn't as funny as it once was, I was determined to watch it just because I wanted to see how each individual characters stories played out. What it lacked for in humour after Steve Carrell left it, certainly made up for in relationships between audience an character. Fortunately, the last few episodes of the final season were brilliant.
6 - The Apprentice (UK) - I look forward to this show every week! I enjoy comparing what I would do to some of the decisions made by the candidates. As a whole, this year's candidates are pretty useless, but they do make for great TV.
5 - The Walking Dead - Although season two in my eyes moved just about as slowly as the zombies did, season three was, in my opinion fantastic. They introduced a human threat in the shape of the governor. I felt that David Morrissey was brilliant as the Governor. Some people have said to me that they think it isn't that good because it's nothing like the graphic novels. True, they aren't anything like the novels really. But to say it isn't very good because it isn't like them is very wrong. 1. Something can be good without being too much like what it originated from (Lord of the Rings for example) and 2. What they have missed or added from the novels have been done well. Novels = no Daryl Dixon who is by far everyone's favourite character. And I definitely think the Governor is better in the TV series. Oh yeah, and Andre Lincoln is fantastic.
4 - Friends - I don't feel like I need to say anything here. Arguably the best sitcom ever but personally not my favourite. However, it is still amazing. I just preferred...
3 - Scrubs - Scrubs over Friends? Yes. In my opinion anyway. I understand why many people would prefer Friends but just by a small fraction, I prefer Scrubs. It also has one of my favourite sitcom characters of all time in Dr. Cox. If you ever find yourself watching this the whole way through again, this time pay real attention to the soundtrack. It is fantastic and helps to make the whole show.
2 - Game of Thrones - I am a massive Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones fan! I do think this is definitely one of the best shows on TV at the moment. The acting is great the whole way it's been made is very good. As I am only on the second book, from what I have been told, it has stuck fairly well to the books. So I think they have done well translating the book onto the TV screen.
1 - Dexter - I love this show. Michael C. Hall is one of my favourite actors. The characters are all great and well played, the storyline is fantastic and the 'nemesis' that he gains each season are done so well. Season 8 has just started and it is looking like a great one!
