    Okay, this is the place to list your all-time favorite TV shows. Pretty simple, just list your favorite shows. I'll go first:

    1. Buffy The Vampire Slayer: This is just the best show ever made. Joss Whedon is a genius. I just love every single thing about this show, and I can't say enough good things about it. What other show does episodes like "Restless," "Innocence," "Becoming," "The Gift," "Hush," and "Once More, With Feeling?" "The Body" is still the finest hour of television I've ever seen. Also, on a more personal note, the Willow & Tara relationship really meant alot to me. That kinda set the wheels turning in my head, as in "wow, being gay is okay. That must mean I'm normal. Cool! I wanna find a man and be in love like they are." :slight_smile:

    2. Friends: I've been a "Friends" addict for over 10 and a half years. I still love this show!

    3. Smallville: This is just such a fun show. I love Superman, and I love the way the show is doing the Superman story. Also, on a totally shallow note, this show does have alot of the sexiest men on TV. :grin:

    4. The Simpsons: The older episodes are simply brilliant. I love every second of them. :slight_smile:

    5. True Blood: This show is just so amazing. I love the way it's done, it's just so brilliant.

    6. Roseanne: This is just a classic. I could actuallly relate to the Conners, and Roseanne's character is just so hysterical.

    7. How I Met Your Mother: This is such a fun show. I love the entire cast, especially Neil Patrick Harris, Jason Segal, and Alyson Hannigan.

    8. Family Guy: This show is just hysterical most of the time, especially Brian and Stewie.

    1. Glee: Musical Theatre is my life. I live and breath song and dance. Hence this being my favorite show. I watch the episodes over and over as soon as they come out and just gush about the show ALL the time. Ryan Murphy is a god of TV and i love everything he makes!

    2. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: JB1986 covered this one. Joss Whedon is ZEUS of TV. The king of everything. The writing is so witty, but yet so different for every character that it seems so realistic and well rounded. Every episode is a gem, some more precious than others yet all beautiful. He takes the show were many shows dont dare go even now a days. I. Love. This. Show.

    3. Queer as Folk: This one made me who i am today. If i did not watch this while i was closeted and afraid i might not have been able to come out for a few years. Emmett is my role model and idol. Again, the creator Russel T Davies is a god of TV. Again, he takes this show were NO other show has ever gone, period. The story arcs...wow...so moving, so powerful, so real.

    4. Torchwood 5. Doctor Who: Both are done by RTD (Doctor Who since 2005 atleast) again and both are a joy. This is the one show i can most likely say every episode of is spot on for me. I LOVE them both so much. The humor and action is just how i like it, plus it has my Ianto baby in Torchwood <3 Thats the only reason i like Torchwood better.

    6. Desperate Housewives: Im only on season 2, but its already one of my greatest guilty plesures. I love love love the writing and plot lines. I thought id hate one of the girls but surprisingly i love them all. Thats rare for me. I cant say ill like the rest of the show, but season one was beautiful.

    7. Verbotene Liebe: Its a german soap opera. It has hot gay men and over-the-top drama that makes your head spin. Nuff said? Nuff said.

    8. The Amazing Race: Its kind of old, kind of boring, kind of lame, but kind of fucking AWESOME! I love picking a team and rooting for them (the gay bro's this round. GO TEAM GAY!) and i love watching the teams fall apart and fight alot. Its addicting. Ive seen almost every season so why stop now i guess.

    9. Dollhouse: Not as good as Buffy, but i love Eliza (Echo) more than i love myself so i have to watch. The CRAZY plot twists are really fun and its another beautiful gem by Joss. I think its going to die after season 2, but thats twice as long as firefly? Yay? Too bad he cant get another buffy length show, he deserves it.

    10. Brothers and Sisters: I dont know were i should put this on this list, so ill stick it at the end. I love Scotty and want to have his babies. Its a great show drama wise and character wise, but sometimes the plot makes me upchuck. I still love this show to pieces and will follow it until it dies.

    The only show I watch regularly right now is Mythbusters. I catch Good News Week and Spicks and Specks when I can, and I watch Thank God You're Here when it's running. I don't like most shows with long confusing plotlines.

    let's see. this is not in any order. i can never decide which one is my favorite.
    -GLEE!!! the love -child of musical theatre and tv; i never miss an episode! I am planning to have a season finale slushy party with my friends
    -How I met Your mother -Neil Patrick Harris, do I have to say much more
    -Friends- all i can say is AMAZING
    -Will and Grace -one of the funniest tv shows ever, and sort of taught me what gay actually meant in 7th grade. I was a very sheltered child.
    -that 70's show- when i want something stupid, but so funny
    -Scrubs- the only doctor show i can watch without fainting; i don't do well with blood
    -iCarly- I know that sounds sad, but i think it is quality tv; spencer is so so so funny; it is the only show my dad, brother, and I all like to watch.
    Degrassi- it was the gay characters that pulled me in, when I was extremely into everything with any gay characters, but was still convincing myself I was straight. that ended, but I found that I still sort of like the show, even though it is crazy dramatic
    -the l word- i am certainly not addicted to the show, but wow, some of those scene can be hot!
    -boy meets world- own it all on dvd, it is cheesy and wonderful, and if cory asked me to marry him i would screw finding my true sexuality and run off with him; childhood dreams
    -queer as folk- starting watching it b/c it would be on after the l word. good show.

    -Buffy the Vampire Slayer, for thousands of reasons that have already been stated. Amazing show, perfect cast, JOSS WHEDON.
    -It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia - such a hilarious show. The actors are perfect and talented and the scripts are to die for.
    -That 70's Show - So funny, so good, amazing.
    -South Park - So wrong... and yet, so right.
    -Scrubs - This has been on my list of favorites since I was about twelve. Great acting, great scripts, great everything. Love it.
    -Flight of the Conchords - What can I say? It's beautiful.
    -Lost - It messes with your head in the greatest way. Nothing makes sense and each episode raises more questions than it answers. Very confusing, very addicting.
    -Will & Grace - SO GOOD.

    Okay,I'm boring!

    1) Two and a half men (I LOVE this show!)
    2) Roseanne ( I Still LOVE this show!)
    3) The Nanny ( Another one I still LOVE!)
    4) Logo Channel ( Who doesn't like gay themed programming?)
    5) Forensic Files
    6) Baseball (In season,naturally! Red Sox,YAY!)
    7) Golden Girls ( Love them!)
    I'm admittedly a channel surfer. I'm really not too crazy about new shows. If it looks good,I'll watch it. I also love stand-up comedians. Jeff Dunham and his puppets are #1!
    Okay,I warned you,I'm boring!
    8) OOPS! I forgot to add...That 70s Show!
