5. Futurama (1999)
What can i say about this witty and great program. The characters are funny, the stories are funny and everything about them is just fuuny. I know a lot of people would pick Matt Groening's other show "The Simpsons" but with the way that shows been, ill always choose Futurama. I love all the characters, and one of the rare shows i can actually give a damn about them as well. Other shows i just dont care enough to really get into the world it portrays. This is the gem of the show and i hope that they continue on with the new episodes.
4. Home Improvement (1991)
This show features some of the best comedy for its time. Tim Allen as a do it yourself, tv show host and father/husband who constantly screws up and has to seek help from the wise man next door, this show was a great addition to my childhood as i would watch it always. This was an amazing show for a number of reasons, but most of all it teaches a lesson. This show always had conflicts that our never asks for direction stereotype male character has to fix and sometimes he never has the answer for it, so he goes to seek help. Proves that we all need a little help once in a while.
3. The X-Files (1993)
I was a huge fan of extra terrestrials, UFOs, government keeping the existence of these from us as a kid and this show fueled it. This to me was the quintessential show for anyone who was into this. You wanted the main characters to fall in love, you wanted to see them get out of any situation they encountered, they just were that likable. An old nickname of mine comes directly from this show, well, people on the internet called the character this, and seeing that i took it over. Just a fun show to watch.
2. Undergrads (2001)
Oh man, this show was my hopes and dreams of college life. Then i went to a community college and i didnt live at my four year after. This show was me in its purest form. I had a lot of expectations going into college, and i didnt get any of them. But this was a super entertaining show, and i cant say enough about it. It was just that good. Only on for one season, it covered everything i might encounter in college, but never got to. It has a huge fan base and could get a second season if the fans all band together and raise money for the creator so he could make another one. Its up to you fans, get on that!
1. Arrested Development (2003)
Well, this list should be favorite comedies, but this show is just too funny. The characters, situations, everything, it is in my eyes a perfect show. I can not say anything else about this show. Just watch it, give it a shot and enjoy, thats about it. It is a great cast with great writing. Funniest show on TV you didnt watch.
Honorable mentions:
Any of the Nicktoons of the 1990s: Just because i grew up on these shows do not mean they are on my top 5. If i did a top 10, you would see maybe Doug, Ren and Stimpy, and Roccos Modern Life. But they are NOT my favorite shows.
Doctor Who: Surprised? from all the talk ive done about how much i love this show? Well, its a recent show ive gotten into. I got into it late 2010 and ive only been into the show for about less than a year. It wouldnt be fair to put this into top list if i only been a fan for a year, the top 5 are shows i watched all the time over the course of 10-15 years.
Any of the Toonami or Adult Swim shows: i like them but i wouldnt say they are favorites.
thats about it, and as always,
The Duke Abides
