The Best of 2009



In addition to the year by year lists, each year I also update my all-time lists for TV and Movies.  I present these lists minus commentary just as a way to keep track, and keep myself honest as to the respective quality and value of The Brady Bunch vs CSI.  This is important stuff, my friend.  Children of the future need to know.

I consider these my favorite 41 TV shows of all time:

1. LOST
2. The Dick Van Dyke Show
3. The X-Files
4. Survivor
5. Alfred Hitchcock Presents
6. The Cosby Show
7. Firefly

17. Futurama
18. Family Ties
