Poll question: Best Show on TV?
If you think there's a better show on TV than any of these programs, well...you're probably wrong. But go ahead and list 'em anyway. We're open-minded here at DU.

1. Daily show, hands down, although it is a different genre than the rest.
I'd be jonesin' for sure if I couldn't see JS at 11:00. DS is for my sanity; all the others are for entertainment. If I had a second vote it would go to ER.

11. I must say that I have gotten hooked on The Shield.
It's very engrossing.

5. The Simpsons, still
Despite several years of taking it for granted and finding fault.

The last two weeks have been razor sharp.

14. Hear Hear!
I was disappointed it was not among my choices. Since the expiration of "BtVS" it is the only show I watch religiously.

10. 24
Edited on Thu May-27-04 03:39 PM by truthseeker1
That was a tough call - but you listed all my favorites. Tough to decide between 24, Six Feet and Daily Show - they're all so different. But the one I would really hate to give up is 24.

(edited for clarity)

In fairness, I haven't seen a good number of the suggested programs.

22. The Shield is Evil?
I will admit it's troubling, but the writing is phenomenal. Why does she think it's evil?

30. It's the only show I watch with any regularity
It is well-acted, humorous at times without being sappy, and has well thought out and thought provoking storylines.

(That is, until the last few episodes, which have started getting just a little wierd).

32. Seasons 3-8 Simpsons, anything British, Futurama, and shows
that require thought or are semi-geeky.

Even Star Trek (original and TNG only) count, I suppose.
