10 Favorite TV Shows

It's time for another blog post which fits into the category of "Who Cares?"
But, let's face it, while I could certainly write about politics, which is something I do care about a great deal, I immediately alienate half of the world. And since I'm just trying to average 14 readers per post (which is a 10% increase in readership) I have to do whatever I can to not scare away people.
Still, though, the top ten TV shows that I like to watch will cause controversy and debate. But it's far less likely that someone won't hire me to do a hypnosis show just because I like to watch these shows as opposed to saying whether or not I like Obama.

10- Game of Thrones - HBO
I have always been a fan of these types of medieval-looking, fantasy stories. I wish there were more than 10 shows in a season, though. There are so many story lines that I don't think get developed enough.



9- Impractical Jokers - TruTV
Q, Murr, Joe and Sal are life-long friends who prank each in other public in a hidden camera show. Easily the funniest hidden-camera show created and the formula for this particular show has been stolen and put on another network.


8- The Bachelor - ABC
 Yes, as those who read this blog know, I am a big fan of this show. It's not for any romantic reason at all. This is one of the funniest reality shows out there. People actually think that they can find the love of their lives on a TV show because that's the last place they can think of to do it. I also happen to be a savant at picking who will be the final four after watching just the first episode. This is my fifth year watching and I am 18 for 20 and have picked three winners correctly, one was in second, and tomorrow we will find out if Whitney will become my 4th winner or 2nd second-place selection.


7- America's Got Talent - NBC
 I appreciate this because I am an entertainer. I love to see people who have worked hard and are extremely talented but just haven't been seen by the right people, or whatever has happened to keep them from greater success, finally earn the accolades they they desire.


6- Banshee - Cinemax
 I stumbled across this one of late. Its got a lot of violence and sex in it so it has me hooked. Just finishing its 3rd season.


Although not on TV, one of the funniest shows out there is the Marshal Manlove Comedy Hypnosis Show of course. Press the link to see highlights.  ;)

5- Homeland - Showtime
 Claire Danes is the lead here and they have just finished their 4th season, I believe...or third. It's basically a show about terrorism with Danes as a CIA agent.


4- The Following - Fox
 This has Kevin Bacon in it, so its awesome. He is ab FBI agent tracking serial killers. I had to chance to see him perform with his brother at the NY State Fair when I was doing my own show up there in his band The Bacon Brothers.


3- Big Brother - CBS
 When it originally came out I could have cared less. But after accidentally catching some of it one season I found myself hooked to the point where I sent an audition tape in one season. I'm too old and nasty for consideration but I'm still a big fan of the strategy involved and the engineering and production of the show.


2- Survivor - CBS
 Now in its 30th season, a remarkable television feat. It is still the all-time best reality game show out there even you can debate the reality aspects of it. (Cops is an actual reality show.) I have auditioned and sent in tapes a few times for this show because I am such a fan. I don't do it every season though because, quite frankly, I don't really like the sun and bugs that much, and I like food way too much.


1- The Big Bang Theory - CBS
  One of the top-five all-time sit coms of all time. I will watch reruns of this show every single day. Jim Parsons, who plays Sheldon Cooper, is a comic genius in every sense  of the word who stole this show. I might even be so bold as to say this is the BEST sit coms of all time over Cheers and Seinfeld. (My #2 and #3.)


What is your current top-ten list of shows you like, if you watch TV? Which sit coms do you think are the top 5 of all time?

I know that I go back and forth about which way this should all go...important stuff or just pop-culture stuff. It just is what it is and helps me like a journal does for some people.

Done
