This list probably isn’t perfect, but it’s a pretty good first pass at listing my top 50 shows. There were a handful that didn’t quite make the list, but were close (I decided after putting the list together that 50 was a good, round stopping point). As a matter of fun statistics, 43 of this list have been released (at least partially) on DVD to date (or have been announced for release). That’s actually pretty darn impressive. Of course, I’m extremely anxious for the ones that aren’t to be announced for DVD release.
