Well the subject line says "top ten
favourite tv shows", it didn't say best ever...so they are my fave current shows, and my absolute fave past shows. Or some of them at least, in case of the latter. And no, unfortunately, ol' Sledge Hammer! doesn't quite make the top ten cut, much as I love it...
Now whether any of my current fave tv shows end up being worthy of my all time favourite list isn't something I can really judge until after they are done and put away to rest, as their complete stories, let alone how well they age and hold up on repeat viewings, is yet to be seen for me. Hence the two different categories.
