Entourage (HBO): Four immature friends (and one hilarious, foul-mouthed agent) dish out jokes and insults, meet tons attractive women, and pray their movie star friend doesn't go bankrupt. It's gone a bit downhill lately, but I'm still sticking with it...mostly because there's nothing else on at the time.
Friday Night Lights (NBC): Yes, it's about a high school football team, but it focuses more on relationships and hardships of teenage life than sports (it's kinda sappy, but in a good way).
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia (FX): I've heard it being referred to as a more obsene, foul, and over-the-top version of "Seinfeld." In other words, it hardly ever disappoints.
House (FOX): House is a cranky, pill-popping, selfish doctor, who believes that everyone is a liar, mistreats his bosses and interns, and is (almost) never wrong.
Mad Men (AMC): There's really nothing like a show centered around 1960's advertising agency, complete with copious amounts of drinking and curvy secretaries.
The cast plays flawlessly play off one another, preventing the American version from falling off like so many of its predecessors.
24 (FOX)
Family Guy (FOX): The writers go way overboard at times and some of the off-color jokes make me cringe, but it's still (usually) funny. I just don't remember to watch it on Sunday nights.
Grey's Anatomy (ABC): I'll admit it -- at one point, it came close to getting on the "Must See" list. I don't care if you think this makes me less of a man. But it's gone way downhill and I'm done with it.
The Pickup Artist / the (white) rapper show (VH1): Grouped together because they're very similar. If/when these shows are off the air, they're directly to unintentional comedy heaven. The contestants were dreadfully bad and the hosts, Mystery and MC Serch (left), respectively, were way too over-the-top. I only regret not getting a chance to compete.Chappelle's Show (Comedy Central): It's a shame that Dave
Chappelle decided to quit his sketch show after two-plus years. From the blind, black KKK leader to Charlie Murphy's classic stories with Prince and Rick James, he wasn't afraid to push the limits. "Game...blouses."
Lost (ABC): A weird quasi-sci-fi show that will leave you with more questions than answers, with stories presented in flashback and flash-forward format, interwoven with the present action. I didn''t get what happens half of the time, but neither did anyone else.
The Shield (FX): Vic Mackey is one of the most powerful characters out there -- a cop who's not afraid to murder a snitching partner or work with drug dealers to get his way. He's gotten away with murder (and worse) over seven incredible seasons, but will he ever get caught?
The Sopranos (HBO/A&E): I'm sure everyone knows what this show is about -- Tony Soprano is the head of two families: his wife and kids and the mafia. He somehow manages to earns the viewer's admiration despite being a cheater, robber, and murderer.
The Wire (HBO/BET):
Every major publication there is agrees on one thing: it's "the best show on TV." I can't possibly do it justice by explaining why so amazing and why the people who watch it can never get enough. Every season is more jaw-dropping than the next.
