Great TV Shows

If you are going to look at one item on this list then please let this be it. This is the funniest TV show I have ever seen, honestly. I don't think I've ever laughed so much, and every episode seems to get better. You probably think I'm exaggerating...I'm really not. I am completely obsessed with this show and, frankly, its hard not to be when even the worst episode is better than the best episode of any other sitcom on TV... #sixseasonsandamovie

This show is addictive and compelling. Despite what you may think Teen Wolf is quite brilliant and very clever, with its dark tone and oft-times witty dialogue showcasing its intelligence and durability. Its one of those that will suck you in and not let go and though it may not appeal to older audience members I kid-you-not when I say that this show is deserving of the title "great".

Beautiful, brilliant, brutal. This is a masterpiece of television and showcases a bevy of fantastic British talent, from crew to the almighty cast, spearheaded by Cillian Murphy. I urge you to check this 1920s-set period-gangsta show out.

What can I say...Kat Dennings is awesome and so is this show. Very charming and funny, you can't help but really like the characters.

For some odd reason this show constantly faces the threat of cancellation, and I genuinely don't know why. Watch it.

I am addicted to this, literally. As cliche as this sounds, it really does have everything you could want in a TV show.

I'd heard about this alot before I decided to give it a try for myself, and obviously when a programme is hyped up as much as this one had been, your going to go in with some preconcieved notions. You expect to be either completely disappointed or completely blown-away-impressed. With this show it was the latter. If you have reservations for the same reasons I did, then just ignore them and watch this. Its real, and its brilliant. Lena Dunham is a revelation, and she knows it. This programme escapes all, or most, anyway, of the TV-cliches. Those it doesn't are because the cliche is real, and that seems to be Dunhams goal - depicting reality for a disillusioned and totally economically screwed generation. When I was trying to think of a comparison, the only thing that came to mind is Sex and the City. This might put some people off, but it shouldn't. Yeah, there is sex. Its real. Yeah, there are stereotypes. Thats real too. As you can tell, this programme is just REAL.

This show is incredibly addictive, largely in part to the fantastic lead actor Simon Baker. The show itself is very interesting and even though each episode usually deals with a new homicidal case, the show ultimately centers around Red John - the elusive serial killer who murdered Patrick Jane's (Simon Baker) family. This stops the show from becoming stale and makes it different from other crime TV shows because it has an emotional center. I've blabbed on a bit, basically...please watch.

I don't think it would be possible for a person to not have heard of this show, so I'll just let its general popularity speak for itself.

I'm not sure how popular or well-known this show is, but don't let the high school setting fool you. This show is hilarious and yes, kinda awkward. But that's kinda the point...

This is a masterpiece. I mean don't go expecting some Spielberg-esque creation, but this show is just so cool and hilarious. I expected it to be a bit 'chavvy', but it really isn't. Just watch it!

Well come on, you can't have a 'Great TV Shows' list without having this on can you! Pure 90s classic - it will never die.

So this show is kinda very different to everything I have listed thus far, but really...this show is just brilliant. Honestly one of my favourites.

Another 90s staple - what can I say? I'm 90s born and bred, this show was literally apart of my childhood.

It beats me why they would ever cancel this show. The cast is just stellar (I mean almost every single one of them is huge right now, that speaks for itself right?) and the characters themselves are hilarious. The title pretty much speaks for itself - and is just another great aspect of a lost TV gem.

I cannot stress enough the irritation I feel at great TV shows getting cancelled. Here's another victim. A real shame because this show was just quirky and really enjoyable!

A refreshing show that looks at the state of America and its people from the perspective of a busy and hilariously hectic Newsroom. The characters are refreshingly believeable and interesting and I particularly enjoy the sparring matches between characters which each episode brings anew. This is clever, and you don't see much of the clever/funny combo on TV these days...

Okay, so I know this is quite far removed from the other shows I have listed but I have to admit to being kind of hooked by this show, despite all of the teenage cliches and romantic clinches the main characters find themselves in. If you look past all of that though you've got a show with a mystery thats actually seriously hard to make sense of. The creators know how to send the audience off on a wild goose chase, and its very entertaining. Call it a guilty pleasure if you want, but you never know, you might give it a chance and see why I've enjoyed it thus far...
