Synopsis: The story of the incredibly dysfunctional Bluth family. 

Why I love this show: 

This is probably the funniest show that I have ever seen! It’s smart, witty, dry, and hilarious. I can watch this show a million times and it still makes me laugh. Honestly there is not much else to it besides it being one of the funniest shows to ever be broadcasted on television! (besides season 4, that was a little hit or miss)

8. Wonder years (1988-1993) 

Starring:
Fred Savage, Daniel Stern, Dan Lauria, Alley Mills, Jason Hervey, Danica McKellar, Josh Saviano

Synopsis: 
The story about teenager Kevin Arnold and his family growing up in the late 60’s and early 70’s. 

Why I love this show: 
I’ve been watching this show almost since I can remember. This was a favorite show of my dad’s and eventually became a show for the whole family. After not watching it for years, it was finally put onto Netflix so I of course had to go back and watch it, and it still holds up today. I love that this show demonstrates so honestly what it’s like to be a kid growing up in America. It doesn’t shy away from real life things kids go through and doesn't try to make things over dramatic (at least not that much). This show can be both funny and touching at the same time. The stories and characters are relatable, even though I didn’t grow up in the 70’s. I love that it also has a commentary on what was going on at that time in the world, and I especially like how you witness it through the eyes of an innocent teenager, still trying to figure out his place in the world. The Wonder Years is a timeless classic that I know I can watch over and over again.

9. Arrow (2012-) 

Starring: 
Stephen Amell, Katie Cassidy, David Ramsey, Paul Blackthorne, Emily Bett Rickards, Colton Haynes


Synopsis:
After missing for 5 years, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen returns to Starling City determine to clean up the city as a vigilante. 

Why I love this show: 
The CW and a second tier superhero did not seem like a good mix to me and I originally planned to skip this show. Then my wife started watching it and I was hooked pretty fast. With a lot of superhero movies and TV shows coming out now days, Arrow does a good job at standing out and creating it’s own unique spin. While the show does not have the big budget of most superhero movies that does not stop it from being epic. I like that this show allows us to get to know the personality of Oliver Queen and his friends more than a movie does. While Oliver can be a bone head some times he surrounded by a great supporting cast, and they are what make this show so great. I also really like how many of the stories and villains are so personal to Oliver Queen. It creates a lot great tension and drama.

10. Shark Tank (2009-)

Synopsis: 
Entrepreneurs present their business ideas to 5 potential investors (sharks).

Sharks:
Kevin O'Leary, Robert Herjavec, Barbara Corcoran, Mark Cuban, Daymond John, Lori Greiner

Why I love this show:
The first reality show to make the list. Shark Tank is such a fun show to watch. I love being able to see an entrepreneur come up with a gap in the market place, and I love watching the sharks try to identify if the product or service is viable or not. The sharks have good banter and it's fun to see which ideas they decide to invest in. What I like most of all is that this show inspires me. Not only to come up with business ideas, but also simply to just create. It inspires creativity. Along with that it's also very educational as well.

Favorite Season:
There isn't really one that sticks out, they are very good.

Same as before.

11. X-Men (1992-1997)

Synopsis: 
Animated series based off the X-Men comics 

Why I love this show: 
Those who know me well know that there are bound to be a few superhero shows on this list. Debuting in the early 90’s when I was still super young I absolutely loved this show. A few years back I decided to go back and check it out, mostly for nostalgic reasons. I wasn’t really expecting it to hold up, but I was wrong. While the animation and the action aren’t necessarily the best, the show still held up extremely well. X-Men has always been about acceptances of other who are different, and this show totally nails that theme. It does a great job at depicting some of the best stories from the comics as well as highlighting each of the X-Men and their unique powers and personalities. We get to see almost every X-Men character in action in this show. X-Men always been my favorite superhero group and this show does a superb job at showing who they are. 

Favorite Season:

12. Modern Family (2009-)

Synopsis:
Three different related families share in life's crazy experiences together.

Starring: 
Ty Burnell, Julie Bowen, Ed O'Niel, Sophia Vergara, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Eric Stonestreet

Why I love this show:
The first sitcom to make my list! I love this show simply because it's always just a lot of fun. It never takes its self too serious and mostly tries to keeps things simple. I really enjoy how most episodes are simply centered around real life experiences and interactions with the characters. Sometimes they try a little too hard, but overall this show keeps things grounded in a fun and hilarious way. I love the interactions between the characters, and actors do a great job at actually making it feel like they are a real family members. I usually like shows that have plots that evolve and build off each other, but I actually like that with this you can watch any episode and not feel lost. Modern Family is one of those shows that I can always turn on anytime and enjoy.

13. Person of interest (2011-)

Synopsis: 
A wealthy computer programer and ex-assassin use a surveillance A.I. to stop murders and other dangerous events from happening.

Starring: 
Jim Caviezel, Michael Emerson, Taraji P. Henson, Kevin Chapman, Sarah Shahi, Amy Acker

Why I love this show: 
Created by Jonathan Nolan (writer of the Dark Knight Trilogy, Interstellar) and JJ Abrams (Star Trek, Lost) they have created one of the most fascinating new shows on TV. This show plays out almost like a mix between Batman, the Bourne films, and the movie Minority report, but also adds in it’s own unique spin. The premise of it sounds pretty straight forward but things are never as they seem, and this show is full of so many twists and turns. Along with a great plot and story they do a great job at making you care for the characters and the people they are trying to save. It also has a great commentary on the good and bad that technology brings into our lives.

14. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983-1985)

Synopsis: 
The most powerful man in the Universe (He-man of course) and his warrior friends battle against the evil Skeletor for rule of the planet Eternia.

Starring:
John Erwin, Alan Oppenheimer, Linda Gray, Lou Scheimer

Why I love this show:
The Masters of the Universe was a franchise that started as a toyline in the early 80's and eventually launched into books, comics, a feature film, and of course this awesome cartoon. While I was not alive for this show when it first aired, I did have the privilege of having three older brothers who made sure I knew who He-Man was. For me the Masters of the Universe is the quintessential 80's show, even more so than Ninja Turtles, Transformers, or Thundercats. Along with a few other classic cartoons (that may or may not be on this list) are what helped define me as a kid. This show has fun and unique characters, morals at the end of every episode, and some really good story telling for a 20 minute kids show. The thing I love most though about this show was how much it helped me expand my imagination as kid. I use to have counts battles in my back yard pretending I was He-Man fighting off Skeletor and his goons. Going back and watching it now I recognize how campy and kiddie it really is, but now that's one of the things that makes it so classic.

15. Suits (2011-)

Synopsis: 
Mike Ross, a talented but troubled college drop out, finds himself working at the one of the most prestigious law firms in New York city with Harvey Specter. 

Starring:
Gabriel Macht, Patrick J. Adams, Rick Hoffman, Meghan Markle, Sarah Rafferty, Gina Torres

Why I love this show: 
To be totally honest, law bores me but this show knows how to make it interesting. Sure it exaggerates it and adds a lot of drama, but when you can make something that bores me and make it interesting that is pretty amazing to me. But the really reason this show is so great is because of the characters. There's times when they can be complete tools and others where you actually care and want them to succeed. They all bring something totally unique to the table which makes the characters interactions so much fun to watch. The writing on the show is witty, and while it can sometime be a little bit too dramatic, the drama usually always works. Suits is a show that is simply just a lot of fun to watch and it keeps you interested from the start to finish.
