hey mack, out of those i've only seen "24", "chuck", "lost" and "breaking bad". i absolutely love the last three, but i'm afraid i've grown incredibly allergic to "24". i just couldn't bear all the torturing anymore. but the other three sure are great shows imho.

I tried to watch Spooks/MI-5. They showed it on Thursday nights from the beginning on the local Public Broadcast Station. It was pretty good, but the characters didn't appeal to me after a while. I just didn't get the chemistry. Other than that and Chuck I haven't watched anything on the top ten list. Quite a few of your next top twenty I follow though. Have a good week! Jeffery

They're some good shows! Mine would probably look something like: Bones, NCIS, How I Met Your Mother, House, Castle, Psych.. yeah I can only get six oh wells. I've never watched Chuck, Damages, In Treatment, Spooks or Breaking Bad. I'll try them out after I finish my exams.

Another thought Mack, I would put Supernatural in one of my top three spots along with Bones and Two and a Half Men currently. Interestingly enough I find that the first three seasons, especially one and two, were the best and four was the worst. Five has been better than four so far as well. Interesting! Jeffery

Hmm I really thought you were a big Grey's fan . My Top 10 of shows that are still on would be... 1. Lost (shocker!), 2. Dexter, 3. Better Off Ted, 4. Breaking Bad, 5. Chuck, 6. Glee, 7. Mad Men, 8. HIMYM, 9. 30 Rock 10. SVU (Svu's not even good anymore but I've been watching it since I was 9. It's the one show I can't dump, no matter how ridiculous it gets ). But if I made a top 10 shows of all time, only Lost would be there. All my favorite shows have ended.
Anyhow, like your list too .

Hey there I don't watch any of those so yeah. I like voiceovers/narration (as in Everwood, for example) and I certainly like fantasy (especially anything Medieval) over drama, comedy or action. Hugs

Cool list I love spy stuff too big fan of Bond though. Do you like the Bourne movies? they are the best in my opinoin.

Wow it's not easu for a show to make your top 10 list!! 24 is a fun show, I only gave up on it because I watched it on TV and fell behind like a month because I went to Russia. I honestly don't even know why I never got back into it Well I'll be watching at least 3 episodes this season (cause of Callum). Chuck is fun It's an amazing show (I don't say this nearly often enough cause I feel like people around me are always shouting it ). I watched the pilot of Damages, I don't think it is for me cause I didn't like it much & the pilot is supposed to be amazing right? Lost was another show I actually watched on TV back in the day I got a little tired of it being so hectic, confusing yet kinda slow pased and decided to watch House (which aired at the same time) instead... but I still see it as a great and highly addictive show. But once I got unaddicted I had a really hard time watching it House is awesome, I have it just under my top 10 list. It's been really awesome lately, the last episodes last season & this season. If it keeps this up it will be one of the best shows on TV! I saw the first season of Criminal Minds, again on TV. I definatly thought it was one of the better crime dramas, but was never a fan. I have never seen In Treatment... should I check it out? Dexter is one of my favorite shows too I love how much every seasons is different from any other on the show. You can never get tired of it. I've been meaning to check out Spooks, but I just have way too much to watch atm. I imagine I'll get to it in the spring or something I was bored to death during the pilot of Breaking Bad, maybe I could get into the show... I don't know but it's not worth trying. I'm sure it's a great show though cause you have great taste in TV! We all have stuff that's similar with shows on our top 10 lists. For me I 4 out of my top 5 shows are sci-fi. I too have a preference for serialized television. No comedy with the exception of HIMYM. With the exception of Dexter and Supernatural all shows on my list have on of my 6 favorite actors in them I agree that SPNs earlier seasons aren't as strong, but to me if a show is improving I consider the earlier seasons less. Someone should tell me all the reasons they love the Office, cause I honestly don't get it Grey's Anatomy might have made my top 10 list if it hadn't been going downhill since season 3. Ok so I'll watch the pilot of In Treatment, when a show is that different it's hard to know if you're gonna like it or not before you watch it. It does sound incredibly boring, but the fact that people love it when it sounds that boring should mean it's quality is even better I liked Weeds great blog, do the next one with the games soon

Hey Mack! I love Chuck and House too! My top ten would be: Bones, Chuck, Veronica Mars, Castle, House, HIMYM, TBBT, Glee, Fringe and True Blood Happy weekend!

Hey! I love Dexter, but thought that the seasons after the first ruined the feeling of it for me. Somehow Dexter was a bit more appealing to me in the first season, and his character was just perfect instead of his character nowadays which has developed. Im all for character development but I loved Dexter the way he was and in the season after the first he came across as different to me if you know what I mean you probably dont but ...! I began to love Chuck when it came out and I still do but I gave it up for other wonderful shows . Have a good week Mac !

I just got into 24 last season, so I need to go back and watch the previous seasons, I really like that show though! LOVE Damages! Can't wait for the next season! And, of course LOST is up there!

Chuck and Dexter are the only two on your list that I watch. I used to watch 24, but became disenchanted with it, so I quit watching. I don't have Showtime, so I have to wait for Dexter to come out on DVD before I can see it, but it's worth the wait. I plan to watch Spooks during the summer via Netflix. I don't want to start watching it in the middle or I'd watch it as they air it here.

Hi MackyMac, I like MI-5/Spooks, I'm looking forward to their new series Murderland with Robbie Coltrane HERE. I absolutely loved Alias. There's a bunch there that I don't care for different strokes for different folks.

Look, a bloggy. Very nice. I share the love for a lot of them even if I don't have such a list, really. I think I never saw Criminal Minds... Maybe I did, did Mandy Patinkin (sp?) star a few years ago? When that is the show, it was OK. Pretty gruesome and OK solutions, great for a procedural fix. I didn't love the characters, though, I probably didn't try hard enough. Love Spooks. And i hate it basically for the same reason, which means it would be high on my list as well. They are pretty cruel, though, very cruel. Damages season 1 is superb - just amazing. Season 2 was boring for me many times but the finale was good (I am repeating myself ) Love all the others, too, except... 24. Well, maybe, I'll change my mind this season, right? As you know, I have more of an idealistic problem with it, it is exciting and all and I used to be hooked. Also, You prefer Chuck over TBBT. Sheldon will be sooo sad. lol... Oh, and double lifes rule, I like my sci-fi and the voice-overs in Dexter are to die for. The show gains so much with those, I LOVE them. Go dark and disturbing. Oh, and Medium: I tried it but I wasn't hooked, high quality show though, I'd think...

I've only watched 2 of those, Chuck and House. I haven't watched House for a year or more, so I kind of lost interest.

Out of those - 24, Chuck, House, and Lost would be in my top 10. Damages and Breaking Bad definitely wouldn't be. I'm torn between watching Curb Your Enthusiasm or In Treatment next after I finish off the current season of Entourage.

Nice list. I've pretty much dumped 24, Criminal Minds. I love Lost, House, Breaking Bad. Don't have HBO, but I hear IN TREATMENT is amazing.

Some hardcore dramas there Mac!!
The ones on your list I watch are Chuck and Dexter, both of which I love. I'm just getting to the end of season 2 of Chuck and I'm loving it!!

I only watch Chuck, 24, Dexter from your Top 10 list and they all would be in my Top 5-10 along with Supernatural.

I don't think I watch as much television as you do. My Current top 5 are Dexter, Degrassi, Dollhouse 90210, and Being Erica. Out of the new shows Glee is my favourite, then Mercy, Melrose Place, Eastwick, and Vampire Diaries. How I Met Your Mother, and Secret Life are 11 and 12 on the list.

Hey, buddy! How's it going? I watch Chuck and Dexter, but I don't know if they make it to my Top Ten. I haven't even considered making a list of Top Ten favourite series. I occasionally watch Criminal Minds and I've seen episodes of In Treatment. In Treatment is really good, but it felt like I was watching my mom work when I saw some episodes.

Hi Mack! YAY another blog. Do you love Breaking Bad THAT much? I wonder what it would be like if House had a double life.. hmm. I didn't know Spy vs. Spy was a show! I see random sketches of it on MadTV. She Spies is a spy show too. Also very literal. Maybe you fell in love with In Treatment because Jake Richardson was in the show. He's mine! You should watch happier shows so you wouldn't be New Mean Mack. Just kidding. House, Chuck, and TBBT would be in my Top 10. Half of characters on Grey's make the show not in my Top 10, but I'm watching less than 20 shows this year so.. hmm.. I don't know. Happy weekend! By the way, don't you think Will, from Eastwick, looks like a nerdier version of Captain Awesome?

I like that criteria of looking at a show's sustained excellence over multiple years. Here are my faves:

10. CSI

9. The Big Bang Theory

8. Rescue Me

7. Friday Night Lights

6. Scrubs

5. The Office

4. Chuck

3. Survivor

2. The Amazing Race

1. Lost

Hey hey, Macky-G. Please don't ask why I've called you this, my brain is somewhat frazzled tonight. I've always been curious as to what your top ten would be like because you watch SO MUCH TV! I'm rather jealous actually because I have no time at all and wish I could watch this much *sulks in corner* No fair. I like your list. Except for 24. I've never seen an episode but it just has never really intrigued me enough for me to take a look. Oh, and Lost. People usually hate me for saying this but Lost bores me. What can I say, I'm a strange girl. *hugs Mack* You love Criminal Minds!! Not nearly enough people love CM. It's my number 5 too which is strange. slightly creepy but awesome. We're fated! Ever since you've started talking about Breaking Bad you've made me want to check it out. If it's your fave then it's gotta be pretty awesome. And I've never heard of Spooks before but I love all those similar shows (except 24) so now I think I'm gonna take a look. And yeah, when I first saw your list I was kinda baffled at seeing Chuck their considering the others but Chuck is pretty fantastic so good job. This also reminds me that I should post my ten current* Bye bye for nowwwwww

Hey. I love Chuck and Lost - glad to see them in the top ten! I thought Supernatural season 1, 2, 3 were awesome, though 4 and 5 (hopefully) are even better! Glad to se you like Supernatural though. My top ten of all time. 1. Lost 2. Chuck 3. True Blood 4. Friends 5. Supernatural 6. One Tree Hill 7. Heroes 8. Prison Break 9. The OC 10. How I Met Your Mother. Take care now.

House is a great show, i dont watch any other show on that list. TBBT and 30 Rock are great too. Community, Parks and Recreation, SNL. This list goes on.

I like House and NCIS, but I don't like them enough to watch all the new episodes lol.

well i have a totally different top ten. its more like top 3 because i've stopped watching like half of my shows house, castle, himym. my top 3 then tbbt, bones, glee, private practice and NCIS if i have time

Hey Mack..okay I have to ask is your first name Marie lol. Really funny off topic story, there was this girl I met like 3 years ago randomly and her name was Marie Macky and I remember htinking it was such an interesting name, so everytime I see your user name I think of Marie Macky haha :p Anyways how are you! Lost, House, Criminal Minds and Dexter are the only ones on that list that I watch, they are all great. Im thinking I need to try out Breaking Bad though, a lot of ppl seem to love that show. I havent actually seen supernatural s4 or s5 ha but I love s1-3 so itd be on my list. Greys Anatomy would be on my list also. Anyways have a great week

Peepsie! Out of your list, Chuck & Criminal Minds are difinately in my top 10. House, Damages and 24 are probably close to it. And Ive only seen S1 of Dexter as of now. I really need to think about what exactly is in my current top 10.
