TV Guide's Top 30 "Cult" Shows
Bold those shows where you've seen every episode.
Italics for those shows where you've seen episodes, and are kind of *meh* about what you saw.
Underlined Italics if you only saw a few episodes and liked what you saw.
Strikeout those shows where you've seen episodes, but didn't like it.
Leave the text as is for shows you haven't seen.
Bonus round: List 5 shows you think should've been on the list, but weren't.
30) Strangers with Candy
29) Absolutely Fabulous
28) Stargate SG-1
27) H.R. Pufnstuf
26) Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman
25) Firefly
24) Twin Peaks
23) Dark Shadows (original)
22) Doctor Who
21) Freaks and Geeks
20) The Avengers
19) Quantum Leap
18) Veronica Mars
17) Beauty and the Beast
16) Babylon 5
15) Family Guy
14) Battlestar Galactica (2003)
13) Mystery Science Theater 3000
12) Pee-Wee's Playhouse
11) Jericho
10) Xena: Warrior Princess
9) Twilight Zone
8) The Simpsons
7) The Prisoner
6) Monty Python's Flying Circus
5) Lost (I still need to watch the finale!)
4) Farscape
3) Buffy the Vampire Slayer
2) The X-Files
1) Star Trek - I assume they mean the original series with Kirk and Spock, which I'm pretty sure I've seen all of thanks to Sci-Fi Channel reruns. I've also seen all of TNG, and a handful of DS9, Voyager, and a couple of Enterprise (the worst Trek ever)
Bonus:
Angel - I'm sure they didn't want to overload the list with Whedon, but Angel was a fantastic show with 5 solid seasons.
Dead Like Me - Probably a bit harder to gather cult status when you're on a cable network like Showtime, but for fans of this series, the two seasons will always live in our minds!
Adventures of Brisco County Jr - Hello, this show was the top requested dvd set for many many years until it was FINALLY released last year. Bruce Campbell is the GOD of cult stuff.
Muppet Show - Since Sesame Street and the idea of muppets for kids has become the norm, I think the adult humor of Muppet Show is forgotten by the mainstream group and only the "cult" style fans remember the genius of this show.
Arrested Development - 3 solid seasons of hilarity that got very little love because, honestly? It was too smart for the general viewership out there.
