Top 10 TV Shows Ever

Friendly Fatale
F.R.I.E.N.D.S. is one show I doubt anyone would claim not knowing it. The story of Ross, Joey, Monica, Chandler, Rachel and Phoebe was a topic of household discussion in the mid 90s. People, especially of that age could relate to every character on this sitcom. The urbane and gen next presentation of the characters struck a chord with the audience. It was about 6 individuals trying to find their own in the hustle and bustle of New York and growing up in the process.

'Win' Win Situation
From a nightmarish childhood to a global celebrity, Oprah Winfrey and her Oprah Winfrey show epitomizes the inner strength of an individual. Yes, this Oprah Winfrey show I think must have been amongst the shows to break all the records of popular TV shows. Oprah Winfrey show has been one of those rare shows and Oprah Winfrey has been one of those few celebrities to have used their popularity for a social cause in the real sense. Kudos Oprah! We love you and the show!

Breaking the Limits
I am sure all the girls must be drooling about Wentworth Miller from the extremely popular television series Prison Break. Prison Break is the story of a guy who gets himself purposefully jailed to help his brother break out of the jail. The character who gets himself jailed has the blue prints of the jail tattooed on his body, which is the high point of the series which has carved its niche in the best TV shows of all time.

Lost
One of the top TV shows of all time, Lost has been able to capture the imagination of one and all. All of those who have watched this series have been absolutely floored by the characters and the story of survivors of a plane crash and break down on a somewhat deserted island. Parallel stories, which intertwine with each other has made this serial amongst the best TV shows ever.

It's Magic
Ah, my personal favorite is the story of an army man who finds a genie! Yes, I dream of Jeannie is what I am talking about. It was a light hearted, no frills series featuring an armed forces officer and his rendezvous with the Jeannie played by the ever graceful Barbara Eden. What drama and humor unfolds when this Jeannie unleashes her magical powers is the crux of the series.

No Small Wonder, This
An out-and-out kids show, Small Wonder was in my opinion one of the top TV shows of the 80s. A robotics engineer creates a robot modeled akin to a human girl. She is passed off as his daughter. How there are moments when she behaves almost human like with the mother in the family and how the mother treats her like a real daughter was the USP of the show along with Viki's (the robot girl) antics.

Hot, Sassy and Classy
Do I need say anything about the show which has even been made into a motion picture with a sequel? By far the most glamorous, sexy and glossy TV series, Sex and the City maps the lives of Miranda, Carrie, Charlotte and Samatha. Preppy Charlotte, sardonic Miranda, assertive Samantha and neurotic narrator Carrie look to discover their lives as they are, trying to maintain a balance between romantic relationships, work and friendship.

A House Full of Comedy
Full House, as the name suggests was a full entertainment package. An American sitcom, it ran in primetime from September 22, 1987, to May 23, 1995, on American Broadcasting Company. Full House is an endearing story of how a single dad copes with the death of his wife post the birth of their youngest daughter. John Stamos and Bob Saget play the two main characters in the series.

Those Were the 'Days'
Remember the movie, A Beautiful Mind and its director Ron Howard? Does the name Ron Howard click anything? Well, yes, Ron Howard was one of the main characters of another American sitcom, Happy Days. The story revolves around Richie (Ron Howard) and his friends and their perspectives towards lives. Henry Winkler, plays a quintessentially outgoing and somewhat outlandish character of Arthur "The Fonz" Fonzarelli. The show aired between 1974 and 1984 tries to portray an idealized perspective towards life in the USA in the 1950s and 60s.

It's a Guy Thing
Charlie Sheen shines in this sitcom, Two and a Half Men, which premiered in 2003. The show is about a hedonistic jingle writer, Charlie; his uptight brother, Alan and Alan's growing son, Jake. How these deal with the problems created after Charlie's brother gets divorced and moves in his house is the story of this sitcom. This show, I am sure you would agree deserves a mention.

There are so many more to add to the list that it is impossible to pick just 10. However, for those who feel that according to them these are not exactly the best, here are some more which I guess were equally popular and can be included in the list.

• Desperate Housewives
• Baywatch
• Bold and the Beautiful
• Seinfeld
• The OC
• House
• King of Queens
• Grey's Anatomy
• Buffy the Vampire Slayer
• X-Files
• The Simpsons
• I Love Lucy
• Star Trek
• Southpark
• Everybody Loves Raymond
• The Office

Whoa! The list does not end, does it?

Nevertheless, these were the top 10 TV shows, according to me! If you haven't seen any of these (which is very unlikely), just check them out! Enjoy!
