50. Quantum Leap - Go-Go Sci-Fi Channel
49. Prison Break
48. Veronica Mars
47. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Way political, not lighthearted enough for me at times, but still good. I did watch quite a bit of it, but not enough to count, I think...

45. Farscape
44. Cracker
43. Star Trek
42. Only Fools and Horses
41. Band of Brothers
40. Life on Mars

36. Father Ted
35. Alias
34. Frasier
33. CSI Las Vegas
32. Babylon 5
31. Deadwood
30. Dexter - Katie has spoken of this several times, and it has made me curious.
29. ER
28. Fawlty Towers
27. Six Feet Under
26. Red Dwarf - Best sci-fi comedy EVER. The last episode SO threw me off!
25. Futurama - It didn't win my heart like The Simpsons did, but it was still really good.
24. Twin Peaks
23. The Office
22. The Shield
21. Angel
20. Blackadder - There is something about British humor that makes me laugh so hard I hurt myself a little...
19. Scrubs - My new TV comedy crack, I can't get enough.
18. Arrested Development
17. South park
16. Dr Who - In my book, old Who beats new Who, but I watch them both! Tom Baker is the definitive Doctor, but of course to each their own... but I could probably lecture on about why he's so awesome for HOURS. In fact, I think I have!
15. Heroes - Yes, I can't help it, it's so much fun!
14. Firefly - For such a short-lived series I'm surprised I haven't found the time to at least borrow it from someone!
13. Battlestar Galactica - Can't say I've watched the religiously, but the new series really is interesting!
12. Family Guy
11. Seinfeld - Sure as hell avoided it like the plague them, but find I really-really like it now. Weird?
10. Spaced
09. The X-Files - The first seasons were the best.
08. The Wire
07. Friends
06. 24 - I'm actually a little surprised I've never seen it... I love Kiefer!
05. Lost - I watch maybe the first season through, and after that I lost interest... no pun intended.
04. The West Wing
03. The Sopranos
02. Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Horror/Comedy/Drama/Adventure/Etc.? Yes please.
01. The Simpsons
No Stargate? What the hell?
