While the other lists of the decade filled me with existential dread, this top 50 tv shows of the decade list was actually quite enjoyable to make. I got to take a trip down memory lane and remember shows like Suburgatory, which ultimately didn’t make this list, but brought a smile to my face. The tough thing about ranking TV shows is that most often don’t stick the landing, have a poor season here or there, or in some cases only got one season. Makes trying to put a list together challenging. So I judged them on the criteria of having more good seasons than bad and with a good ending being a tiebreaker. With all that said, here are my choices for the top 50 TV shows of the decade.
