They're only doing this because Smash is coming back. Parenthood is going to be renewed — and honestly, I don't mind the shorter orders if we get cable-quality stuff.

New Girl's gotten a lot better since the back nine of its first season. It's a top-ten sitcom, at least.

Parenthood is a fringe top-ten show. It's as generic as Friday Night Lights, unless you think that's a "soft" show too.

Great shout-out for True Life. Some great stories there, and one of the only things redeemable about MTV now.

@WillHarrisInVA: Sorry about the negative-sounding comment. Just vehemently disappointed in the inclusion of TBBT, HIMYM, and Modern Family up there.

How can Parks and Rec not make a person's top-20 lists? I DON'T UNDERSTAND!

List is fine (and glad to see Suburgatory on the list — I thought it wouldn't make it), but Parenthood needs to be higher. Like closer to 10. Feel like The Walking Dead and 30 Rock are too high, also.

If they did that, this show would be the best ever. A little Cheers-League crossover?
