Inside Pulse TV’s Top 15 Shows of the Decade

Can't take credit for the introduction -- that was written by Josh Clinton. But enjoy the list -- it's a pretty fair range of shows represtented. Oh, and guess who wrote #1!!!

2009 has come to a close, and by now you have probably read or heard a lot of “best of” lists. This happens at the end of every year, but 2009 was also the close of the “00″ decade. Not only do you have to deal with “Best of the Year” lists, you also have the “Best of the Decade” lists. But lets face it, almost everyone loves lists. So how about a few more to feast your eyes on?

I asked all the Inside Pulse TV staff members to give me their “Top 10 Shows of the Decade”. Any show that aired new episodes during the years 2000-2009 were eligible to be on their lists. All channels and genres were eligible as well. I got close to 20 lists with each writer not knowing what shows the other writers considered to be the best. After getting these lists, I assigned each show on each writer’s lists a point value from 1-10. The #1 show on each list was given 10 points. The #2 show was given 9 points. #3 got 8 and this continued to the #10 shows each getting 1 point. Once I added up the numbers, there was clearly a major line between the “best” and the “rest”. However, the line was between the Top 10 and the rest, it was more like the Top 15. So I made an executive decision and decided to create “Inside Pulse TV’s Top 15 Shows of the Decade” list instead of a top ten list.

First, I will give you each writers’ individual lists. After that, I will post our overall “Top 15 TV Shows of the Decade “ based on the overall points system. In addition, I gave each writer a show to talk about and explain why they considered that show to be among the “Best of the Decade”. So lets get to the lists….
