All time favorites? Well, let's see (I'm not talking about re-runs, so I guess I'll be dating myself). :) I can't do just 10, but the ones that really come to mind (and bring back memories) are:

1) Lassie
2) Dennis the Menace
3) Our Miss Brooks
4) Sky King
5) Jackie Gleason Show
6) Author Godfrey Show
7) I can't remember the name, but it was hosted by Walter Cronkite and I believe was something like "The 21st Century" (?)
8) Highway Patrol
9) Death Valley Days
10) Rawhide
11) The Waltons
12) Dallas

Then there was Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny, and the Flintstones - all good cartoon shows when I was a kid. And, of course, Charlie's Angles (Cheryl Ladd - hubba, hubba, hubba !!!) really made an impression on me. :D

family man: isn't that the one that is animated?

Family Guy

I miss Moonlighting. The bickering, sexually tense relationship and snappy, fast dialogue were very Golden Era Movie-ey. Like an updated Thin Man kinda, plus the clothes were good.

And the "theme" episodes... In Jr. year honors English our teacher showed us the Burton/Taylor Taming of the Shrew as a treat, so one of the girls brought in the Moonlighting episode that sorta spoofed it (on VHS) to reciprocate.

I think the DVD set is STILL tied up by various problems.

Come to think of it, might be time to watch Hudson Hawk again. I like that movie.

I haven't had television for nearly four years now, so I have no current favorites, alas. Couldn't even tell you what was airing. I just watch the shows I've always loved on DVD. The first five are in order, but after that it's a free-for-all depending on my mood.

1. Combat!
2. Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea
3. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
4. Highlander: The Series
5. Star Trek (the original series)
6. Starsky and Hutch
7. Wild Wild West
8. Lonesome Dove: The Outlaw Years
9. Nowhere Man
10. Earth 2

5. House (Apparently I look spot on like Dr. House - I know the season has started when comments start to pick up the pace)
6. Numbers

Geezzz,...tough question.

I haven't watched much TV since the 70's, when I started to realize it was really pretty crappy overall. :( lol
Vintage classics from the 60's are cool. Off the wall stuff like The Addams Family is incomparable.
Andy Griffith, The Beverly Hillbillies, Topper, The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits.
As to more recent stuff, I am not very familiar with most of it, but any classic film, animation, or short subject is really enjoyable. Same for anything creative or educational and thought provoking.

This is tough! Currently:

*Lost, Gilmore Girls (in the last seasons a little dull)
*Colbert Report
*That 70's Show (the older seasons)
*Cash in the Attic (but only the British version with Alistair!)/Antiques Roadshow/History Detectives
*So You Think You Can Dance (I'm such a fangirl. I'm going to the tour haha)
*Nero Wolfe (my summer obsession, I think I've fallen in love with Archie Goodwin)
*Dead Like Me
*Batman (1960s)
*historical/costume miniseries like The Forsyte Saga, Manor House, Band of Brothers, Island at War, Daniel Deronda, Horatio Hornblower
*Classics like I Love Lucy, Get Smart, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, Happy Days

Oh no, I've already forgotten Absolutely Fabulous, The Office, Scrubs and My Name is Earl. Although really my heart belongs to TCM and my dream job is Robert Osbornes'.
