1. Grey’s Anatomy
2. Lost

4. Friday Night Lights
5. The Office
1. Pushing Daisies (it’s the only show my husband and I made can’t-miss Wed night dates for, as opposed to just DVR’ing)
2. House
3. How I Met Your Mother
4. The Office
5. Sunday Night Football
I’d add “Bones” to this list, since I’m obsessed, but I’m a latecomer-in-love and haven’t seen Season 3 yet.
1. Lost
2. The Office
3. How I Met Your Mother
4. Mad Men
5. The Simpsons

That’s it, since we’re sticking with broadcast. A cable-inclusive list would include Greek & Mad Men
How I Met Your Mother
Brothers and Sisters
Desperate Housewives
Grey’s Anatomy
Pushing Daisies
Hmm.. looks like ABC has me on lockdown.
1. HIMYM
2. Brothers & Sisters
3. Grey’s Anatomy
4. The Office
5. One Tree Hill
I must admit, I am emotionally attached to alot of other shows also. If you’re not, why would you waste your time watching them?
Bah, I totally spaced on the “broadcast networks only” stipulation when I was thinking over my list. I don’t really differentiate between them — my TiVo loves them all equally.
In no particular order:
Bones
Pushing Daisies
Chuck
Greek
How I Met Your Mother
1. Supernatural
2. NCIS
3. How I Met Your Mother
4. Numb3rs
5. Bones
Supernatural is easily, hands down, my favorite show on television right now. Even though I knew Dean was coming back from the dead after last season’s finale, it was still an agonizing summer waiting for it to happen.
In no particular order:
Bones
Pushing Daisies
Chuck
Greek
Priveleged
In Descending Order: Big Bang Theory, Lost, Bones, Office, HIMYM
i must be REALLY into television, because i can’t think of any show i watch that i’m NOT emotionally invested in. when i follow a show, scripted or reality, i conntect with a character and root for that person. this even happens to me when watching game shows! i’m pathetic.
Um…yeah. “Emotionally Attached” pretty much covers everything I watch. But:
Lost
The Office
Grey’s Anatomy
The Biggest Loser
Friday Night LIghts
And I agree with Annie – my DVR loves all equally! Can’t remember the last time I actually categorized shows into “broadcast” and “cable” in my head. Because I’m MOST emotionally attached to Weeds, for sure.
