Top Ten - T.V Shows

After nearly five months of doing mostly reviews, I think it's time I actually put a bit more personality into my posts, and show you more of who and what I'm all about. You've already seen plenty enough of my music side (although I should probably show more of that side to me that's outside Coheed and Cambria), but I really think I need to do something else.
Besides, I currently have a case of writer's block and I can't figure out what else to blog about. So, without further ado, I present the next project -- well, kind of project -- for this blog. Starting today, I'll be posting on occasion glimpses into some of my favorite things, ranging from all topics. This was partly inspired by my "One Hundred Likes" post, which I realized after writing that there were so many other things I could have -- and should have -- added to that list.
I'm planning on making this a once-a-week thing. I've got a whole variety of subjects I can do. From the broad to the most specific, it's time for Top Ten!
Why a Top Ten? It's simple and short. And it leaves plenty of room to potentially add more to the list in the form of additional blog posts during those moments when I can't think of what to write. Second, I like the number ten.
With that, let's get underway. As the title of this post indicates, today's top ten is television shows.

1. Boy Meets World
Two words: Will Friedle. This show would not have been the same without him as Eric Matthews. I grew up watching this show. Boy Meets World came around when Disney Channel still had some class, and didn't think topics like growing up were not age-appropriate. Aside from the lessons imparted onto Cory and Sean by Mr. Feeny -- and by extension, the viewer -- the show also retained amazing acts of comedy. And to this day, Mr. Feeny is still one of the best role models of all time, from this blogger's point of view.
2. Avatar: The Last Airbender
I didn't get into this show until long after it was over, but since then I've grown to love it. As an animation student I'm especially attracted to the quality of the show as much as I am the story and the characters. Plus, Waterbending is fucking cool! Side note: the film adaptation of this cartoon sucks.
3. NCIS
I used to watch a lot of crime shows. But I noticed many of them seemed to lack a lot in terms of actual entertainment. I think it was decent characters. NCIS is a cut above these other shows. The chemistry between the actors is incredible, and thus lets the show make up for its sometimes choppy and overused plots thanks to the awesome characters. Gibbs, DiNozzo, McGee, Ziva, Abby, Ducky... every episode has never been unsatisfying to me.
4. Doug
This was my all time favorite television show back in the day. I mean, if you lived in the 90s, how could you NOT love Quail Man? Damn, I miss this show...
5. Dragon Ball Z
I really don't like anime. And I really hate the animation style of anime. Dragon Ball Z was the only show of its type I could watch, largely thanks to its formula where it could actually appeal a bit more to both boys and girls. Goku remains one of my top favorite cartoon characters of all time.
6. Breaking Bad
A high school chemistry teacher suffering from cancer delves deep into the criminal underworld by cooking and distributing crystal meth in order to support his family after he's gone. Need I say more?
7. Red vs. Blue
This isn't a t.v. show exactly, but it's been released on DVD and has different seasons, so I'm counting it. I was introduced to this by my girlfriend. I don't really care much for the Halo games, but I do love comedy. This show has plenty of it as well as action and a really interesting plot. The characters Donut and Caboose are really what make this show as awesome as it is.
8. The Office
Actually, there isn't much about The Office I really care for. It's just that it's good old fashioned comedy. Plus, it has Steve Carell. Good stuff.
9. King of the Hill
It was created by the same guys that brought you Beavis and Butt-head. Enough said.
10. SpongeBob SquarePants
A classic. An absolute classic. I realize the show is and has always been extremely childish, but that's why I love it so much. It's one of the last few shows on Nickelodeon that isn't lame.
Now comes the fun part. To any readers out there, I propose a question: what are some of your favorite t.v. shows? Feel free to post in the comment box below!

Great picks! I love quite a few of these and haven't watched some of the others. I'll have to check them out! There's plenty of time. ;)
The only shows I watch 24/7 are king of the hill, jersey shore, Robot chicken, and csi (all of them!)
