Folks at Online College Courses made an interesting article about the top ten Shows that Writers really love.
As they say: Anything involving the written or spoken word provides lessons on what to do and what not to do when telling a story or conveying a thesis statement. Even though television today supposedly swarms with some of the most ridiculous, self-absorbed personalities and mind-numbing cliches, the history of the medium (up to and including the current era) still includes some sterling examples of excellent writing.
So, What are the shows they claim are the writers´ favourites? Let´s see
Top Ten Best TV Shows for Writers
1- Monty Python´s Flying Circus:
This one I can´t be agreeing more! Monty Python was, is, and always will be one of the best shows ever, with a distinctive humour.
2- Mad Men:
No wonder Mad Men has so many awards.
3- The Venture Bros
Excellent show to learn about deconstruction.
4- The Wire
A not so cliche police show.
5- Lost
A Tolkienic kind of mythology in the new era.
6- Masterpiece
It moves through a miryad of literary genres.
7- Extras
It´s Ricky Gervais, need I say more?
8- Space Ghost: Coast to Coast
A Cartoon talk show. That´s original.
9- Star Trek
Talk about learning how to become cult.
10- Stella
A Monty Pythonesque type of show.
I guess both Dexter and Six Feet Under should have had a place in the top ten, but it was not my original list.

3. Dr. House
4.Law and Order
5.Modern Family

7. Lost
8.The Sopranos
I agree House MD very well should be, also Dexter and Six Feet Under. Monty Python, A bit of Fry and Laurie, Lost, and the other five some of what are mentioned in the article or the ones you added.
House is Sexy and Funny and has a good personality and He is worthwhile Because you never know what is going to happen and it is a guessing game and it is about learning about conditions and health in a whole new way and it is all about understanding but I Think House is Hot and Sexy and he is very attractive and My husband justin ross feierabend really like him alot because he makes them laugh and he really buckles downs and listen to the joke and the punch line.
My Top 10 is 1.Hell’s Kitchen 2. Masterchef and 3.Kitchen nightmare and 4. House 5. One Life To Live and Judge judy is number 6 and judge Joe Brown and Little House on the hallmark station and that is it but that is all I LIKE.
Will always like some one who is blunt and to the point and the show over all was worth watching and very colorful on many levels and there is so much education applied to the skills on the show and there is always a story and plan and idea on how people get sick and how some people are not paying attention to the danger of there health but the story is amazing and funny and serious on so many levels and it is nice to see another point of view in life and major wonderful actors and actresses of the future is coming out of it.
My ex wife really miss One life to live and my ex had a major crush on the guy named Roger Howarth in other words Todd Manning and of course she was in the show big time and this was something she liked before I met her…I sabotaged my ex wife in so many ways ? When it came down to HELLS KITCHEN I MADE SURE SHE COULD NOT CONTACT OR MAKE IT TO INTERVIEWS IN THE PASS AND I MAJOR KILLED HER PASSION FOR THE SHOW…BECAUSE I HATE CHEF GORDON RAMSAY…BECAUSE I CAN’T STAND THE WAY HE TALKS TO WOMAN AND CALLS THEM OUT OF THERE NAME AND THE THOUGHT OF MY WIFE GOING THROW THAT WAS A NO NO GO FOR ME.
I HATE THE SHOW AND WAS REALLY HAPPY WHEN MY EX WIFE CASONIA SADE LOGENBERRY WAS REJECTED AND MATTER OF FACT I DID NOT WANT THAT GUY EATTING MY WIFES FOOD TO START OFF WITH, THINGS GOING THROW MY MIND THIS GUY IS A PAIN IN THE BUTT AND REALLY RUDE. A TOTAL BUTT,BUTT TUT.
THE LADY WASTED MONEY AND TIME AND AIR FAIR AND HOTELS AND RENTING CARS TO APPLY ALL OVER THE PLACE AND I HAD BETTER USED FOR THE MONEY AND DID NOT WANT TO GO IN THAT DIRECTION….. I THINK HE IS TRASH AND WILL NEVER WATCH HIM AGAIN AND THAT IS SOMETHING, I NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT AGAIN..BECAUSE WE ARE DIVORCED.
Crime will always happen and no matter what we do and no matter how hard we try, Crime is still going to happen there are people out there trying to get over and want to steal or beat other people up in order to get what they want and fairness is not fair and a liers will always get caught sooner or later down the road…your going to get what you give to this world rather it is bad or good but sooner or later everything comes back to bite you in the butt.
Hate the fact that my ex wife could be watching that show as well but hopefully all the messing up I Did will keep them appart forever and ever and never want anyone I Love in front of some one who can hurt her feelings but the show is all about learning and cooking and as a man…I Can’t even make a hamburger and how hot the pan should be and what do you put on it besize salt and peper?
