I have a list of shows I think are awful that have been wildly popular.
Big Bang Theory
Everybody Loves Raymond
King of the Hill
Two and a Half Men
King of Queens
Almost any CBS sitcom where a bigger dumb white guy is married to a beautiful woman.

My son started watching TV right after Paw Patrol started on Nickelodeon. I had lots of flashbacks to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers because it was the exact same show every time and that song sucked.
I only wish something like Bluey existed then....
Came real close to making my list. Great show that didn't get the praise it deserved.
My buddy and I had a little drinking game anytime obergruppenfeuhrer was said. I thought the show started excellent but hit the skids by season 3.
Quick update on the Top 10 of the Top 10 with 65 lists now shared. I added percent of lists each show is included on. A little shuffling around but most of the Top 10 are the same.
"Cheers" made a big jump into the Top 10 after the passing of George Wendt. RIP Norm.

Arrested Development
Parks & Rec
30 Rock
Succession
Severance
Dickinson
At Home with Amy Sedaris
Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee
Better Call Saul
Community
There are a bunch of really close runners-up. Downton Abbey, The Crown, Freaks & Geeks, the Late Show with Letterman/Conan/Seth Meyers, early Scrubs, first season of Twin Peaks, Cheap Seats without Ron Parker, The State. If I want to zone out, House Hunters.
I could come up with more, but I kind of ebb and flow from watching different things.
Part growing up, part relatability
Wonder Years
Night Court
Seinfeld
Family Guy
How I met your Mother (liked it when it was on for a few seasons, aged terribly)
Master of None
Parks and Rec
The Office
The Simpsons (early seasons)
River Monsters

I beleive How I Met Your Mother was only intended to run for a few seasons with Victoria being the mother, but it became popular and they cashed in. The "bombshell" ending that was the least surprising letdown, was always the plan.
Yeah as soon as things feel forced I tend to bail and HIMYM started doing that.
Prior though I liked the mid-twenties themes etc.
The Office imo stared down the 'forced' issue at like season 4 even with Michael.
MASH
Home Improvement
Monty Python
Band of Brothers
Mad Men
We Were Soldiers Once and Young
Goliath
WKRP
Peaky Blinders
Braveheart
And yup, that covers me pretty well I think.
In a few seasons I expect Landman to on this list.

Have you gone back and watched Twin Peaks?
I did a few years ago and my wife was like, this is corny AF. I still enjoyed it.
One of these things is not like the others...
The premise of this exercise was to list "ten shows that more or less define your tastes that may also reveal your sense of humor"
OK, so I can be a little warped sometimes
Probably 2008 or so is the last time I watched it! I had watched bits and pieces when I was super little, when it was out the first time. It was definitely corny, and several of the actors just chew the scenery, but it was still so David Lynch!
