Top 5 TV Shows I'd Die Watching

It was recently announced that the late Ted Kennedy spent his last few days with family and watching every single episode of the television show "24."

That gave me a great idea... in my last few days of life what television series would I watch in completion before I actually kicked the bucket. I think this calls for a top 5 list...

Top 5 TV Shows I'd Die Watching

1. Seinfeld - Not only would I watch it on my death bed, I've already spent a good portion of my healthy life watching every single episode. In my estimation this was the greatest thing ever on TV. What? You don't agree with me... NO SOUP FOR YOU!

2. M*A*S*H - granted it was a little before my time, but I don't ever remember seeing an episode I did not enjoy. This is also one of those few shows that didn't lose a step when there were changes with the cast. I even like the original movie.

3. Band of Brothers - technically not a series like the others, but pound for pound one of the greatest 10 hours of TV ever put together. This series taught a new generation about the contributions of the greatest generation. I am looking forward to the Pacific, a new series focused on the plight of soldiers in the Pacific war brought to you by the same folks (Tom Hanks, Steven Speilberg, Gary Goetzman) that brought you Band of Brothers.

4. The X-Files - Probably the one most would disagree with, but for me this show was awesome. It was dark and a little creepy, yet fun and entertaining. I would agree they did over-dwell on the alien aspect of the show, but all in all, a great series.

5. 24 - I have never actually seen an episode but EVERYONE tells me how awesome this show is. I actually was given the 1st season as a gift but have not taken the time to sit down and watch it. This sounds like a good thing to do when I am dying.

Those were the heavies, however here are some other things I'd like to point out.

Here are some shows that would trump some of the above if I didn't have to watch the whole thing... MTV circa 1981 - 1992 (hours and hours of awesome videos), best of Saturday Night Live, and the best of Johnny Carson (that man was a frickin genius). All of these shows were great in parts, but I'm not sure I would want to watch in their entirety.

Here are some shows that I thought would make this list but some how were screwed up by the people writing and making them... Lost, Heroes, Friends (they'd still be milking the Ross/Rachel thing if they could), Moonlighting (same thing).

Here are some shows I hear were awesome in their day, but I just wouldn't relate enough to to actually watch the whole series of... Carol Burnett Show, I Love Lucy, All in the Family, and The Honeymooners.

And finally here are some shows that would actually kill me to watch... The Real World, Survivor, and any daytime soap opera.
