    Hmm.. This is hard. We watch a LOT of tv.*laugh* I’m going to do just MY list, though. My hubby might (would) be different.
    1) Bones — gets watched immediately
    2) Sarah Connor Chronicles – we actually both watch this one
    3) The Office – another one we both watch and usually only wait 10 minutes into it so we can ffwd commercials
    4) House – my husband started watching this with me again this year & is hooked
    5) Fringe – LOVE this show! We both miss the x-files still and this show is filling a huge void in our lives (yes, we are sad people!)

    Not necessarily in order…
    Prison Break
    Friday Night Lights (does that still count as network?)
    The Office
    Brothers & Sisters
    Chuck
    My list would be way different if we could include cable…

    I think that my t.v. watching world would fall apart without any of these shows.
    1. Lost
    2. Ugly Betty
    3. Pushing Daisies
    4. Gossip Girl
    5. Eli Stone
    Honorable mention to HIMYM, Amazing Race and Brothers and Sisters.

    wtf? Life? A bunch of CBS dramas, huh? No love for Jericho?
    Going by their definition, I don’t think there is another show on broadcast television that viewers are more emotionally attached to than LOST. And yes, Sunday Night Football will always get big numbers. It’s football. But sports should be exempt. There’s something bogus about this list.
    Though I watch stuff like Chuck, House, and Terminator, I wouldn’t say I’m as “emotionally attached” as these:
    1. Lost
    2. Lost
    3. Heroes
    4. Desperate Housewives
    5. The Office

  • Katie

    Not really in any order…
    Pushing Daisies
    Lost
    The Office
    Bones
    Big Bang Theory
    PS…Thanks for bringing back the Bones recap EW!!

  • Lizzy

    1. Bones
    2. HIMYM
    3. The Office
    4. Privileged
    5. House
    I’d love to put Friday Night Lights on the list, but with it’s move to DirecTV this fall, does it really count as broadcast tv anymore?

    The only show I would append to this list would be (shamelessly) America’s Next Top Model. I know, I know. But it’s a different kind of emotionally attached. Most of the shows on this list draw the viewer’s emotions through an arresting or well-developed plot. That’s fine and dandy, but that doesn’t mean I can’t be unrelentingly addicted to seeing what awesomely bad quip Tyra will pull out this week, or how the producers will attempt to rationalize a deliciously humiliating photo shoot: “We wanted to hang you girls nude off the side of the Empire State building to illustrate (in a high-fashion manner, of course) the vulnerable and precarious state of our economic system. Be sure to vote, girls.”
