I had no idea about this show until my friends put me on to it. by the 4th episode (You all know) That's when my love for it took of. The best Show I have ever seen. I don't think it got bad at all I loved it to the very beginning
. for those of you lucky enough to have never seen it. start it today!

Lost is one of the Best shows that will ever be on T.V.. Great actors, deep plot always keeps you hooked. Variety of generes that keep the show great. There is no way you can't like lost.

Be it drama, comedy, adventure, horror, science fiction, romance... Dude, Lost has it all

Love this show. Such an amazing show. Emotionally moving, must watch

2 The Office The Office is an American television comedy series that aired on NBC from March 24, 2005 to May 16, 2013.

Oh my god, I love this show!

3 Supernatural This haunting series follows the thrilling yet terrifying journeys of Sam and Dean Winchester, two brothers who face an increasingly sinister landscape as they hunt monsters. After losing their mother to a supernatural force, the brothers were raised by their father as soldiers who track mysterious and demonic creatures. Violent memories and relationship-threatening secrets add additional burdens on Sam and Dean as they investigate all things that go bump in the night. As old tricks and tools are rendered useless and friends betray them, the brothers must rely on each other as they encounter new enemies

This is the best show on TV. A good indicator is that it has been on for 15 years and is still on top. The only reason it's stopping at this time is because the actors wanted to go out while it's on top and not wait for it to run out of steam

The first few seasons were amazing, but it got boring after that, with the same repetitive and predictable plot. Guess that's what happens when a show goes on for 14+ years.

It's my favorite show. Watched it from the first episode. No other show makes me sad, happy, scream & be sometimes grossed out.

Exciting plots, brilliant character development and truly emotional scripts with a phenomenal cast - what's not to like?

4 Dexter

6 House House is an American television medical drama that originally ran on the Fox network for eight seasons, from November 16, 2004 to May 21, 2012. 

The best T.V. series ever perfect for people who prefer either comedy or Drama. Since it has the perfect balance between both genres.

And Hugh Laurie is fantastic in this role, no one could have played That good. Hecwas born for that role.

A show that follows the same formula for almost every episode that keeps every episode fresh and new thanks to it's interesting characters and medical cases.

An original, funny, dramatic and addictive show, if you haven't watch already, DO IT!

The Contenders
11 Prison Break Prison Break is an American television serial drama created by Paul Scheuring, that was broadcast on Fox for four seasons, from 2005 to 2009. The series revolves around two brothers.

Prison break is the greatest T.V. show I have ever watched in my life, it is absolutely thrilling.

One of the best shows ever made. It's worth watching.

Jeremy, James and Richard have made amphibious cars, people carriers, Reliant Robin Space shuttles, rally cars, cheap police cars, VW Scirocco ads, caravan conkers, caravan trains and mobility scooters.

And you guys think that Lost is better than Top Gear?

Who needs a would be drama from some hack called Abrams when you can have a factual entertainment show called Top Gear.

Unlike Lost, Top Gear is still going strong since it's 2002 inception.

The political correctness brigade has damaged many T.V. programes, however I'm glad to report that Top Gear is one of the few programes that's unharmed.

13 24 24 is an American action drama television series produced for the Fox network, created by Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran, and starring Kiefer Sutherland as counter-terrorist agent Jack Bauer.

This is action and suspense at it's very best on T.V.. Jack Bauer kicks major ass, no one can ever beat him, old school action, best main character on a T.V. show ever, suspense is golden, each character, even some you expect to be generic are all diverse, unique and are always tangled or involved in the plot.

14 Lizzie McGuire Elizabeth Brooke McGuire, famously known as Lizzie, is the main character in the show. She is portrayed as a caring, rational, and cooperative person, although her animated alter-ego displays her true feelings from time to time.

16 American Idol American Idol is an American talent reality television series that first aired in 2002. As of May 2019, there have been seventeen seasons.

American idol is over man. The x-factor is now the new American idol. Haha I'm kidding all that singing crap is out.

Kelly Clarkson raised her fame through American Idol. Enough said.

17 The Big Bang Theory The Big Bang Theory is an American sitcom created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, both of whom serve as executive producers on the series, along with Steven Molaro, and also some wasted guest stars from time to time.

One of the funniest T.V. shows ever. Definitely one of the top 15 of the 2000's

Adorable show. Breath of fresh air.

I just love those Autistic nerds!

18 How I Met Your Mother How I Met Your Mother is an American sitcom that originally aired on CBS from September 19, 2005, to March 31, 2014. The series follows the main character, Ted Mosby, and his group of friends in Manhattan.

I got hooked on this show about 5 years ago because I was forced to watch it. Now it's my favorite show.

20 True Blood

Now that Lost ended, Breaking Bad is the best show on T.V..

If I could I would put all 10 votes here. #1 of ALL TIME.

Gut wrenching and all-around excellent.

Come on people! Way better than 20!
