Today is Wednesday, which means that tonight we will have what is sure to be another extraordinary episode of television's best drama, Lost.
As a television junkie I'm thrilled we live in an age of truly great TV. Shows today are better than the mainstream shows that aired when I was growing up in the 80s, particularly network dramas. When 24 debuted in 2001 it changed the way drama was done; it was no longer just about cop and medical show. Suddenly there was real meat behind television. With the serial drama, television became more cerebral, and that's always a good thing. Without 24, we wouldn't have Lost or Heroes, and without Lost or Heroes, television drama would be dry.
Am I rambling?
All I'm saying is that TV in 2007 is awesome. And on top of everything else, we have arguably the greatest television comedy of all time - The Office - going stronger than ever.
In honor of this, here are my top 5 network dramas of all time, followed by my top 5 comedies of all time.
NOTE: Heroes is not on the list simply because I haven't been watching. But I KNOW it's worthy of the list, and plan on catching up on DVD.

5. Law and Order
4. ER
3. X-Files

WOW, The Office beat Seinfeld? I'm not saying I disagree but you're such a Seinfeld buff!
And Heroes knocks Law and Order out of the stratosphere, just like Superman could.
Glad to see that their are other X-files fans out there. I have heard a rumor that there is a second X-files movie in the works.
