Conan O'Brien's Tonight Show is one of the funniest, most original shows on TV today and now it looks like NBC might be giving him the boot. Taking away the Tonight Show from Conan O'Brien, and therefore the world, would be one of NBC's biggest mistakes ever...but as we all know, TV is FULL of dumbass moves. Here's a list of the biggest. Note: items 5-7 have one thing in common.

In honor of the satisfying, yet somehow still underwhelming LOST ending this last weekend, we felt the need to put out a list about some other shows that just kind of flickered out in the end. Some TV shows have secured themselves in the history books by ending their runs on such a horrible note that all the previous hard work was forgotten because of one bad decision, but then there are these shows. The kind that just sit there, rotting, like that last black banana you just can't be bothered to throw out. It's not quite the same as "jumping the shark", because there isn't one glaring event that can be pinpointed to blame for the show turning to crap. It's a much sadder, slower dive into mediocrity that more than deserves its own list (in no particular order).

Before Ellen outed herself on national TV, LGBT characters on TV were few and far between. But over the years, there were many TV couples that could've been outed if times had been different (very different), but were instead portrayed as just almost-gay. From shows like The Odd Couple and My Two Dads, to Bosom Buddies and Laverne & Shirley, here's a list of the top 10 almost-gay couples in TV history.

Setting the tempo for the entire TV show, themes either stand the test of time, or are as lame as the following half hour. Here are some favorites that can't seem to get out of people's heads, or out of syndication.

Every Tuesday new DVDs come out; while most of them are feature films, there's always at least one or two TV shows that get released. Week after week I (and many other people) hope to find these shows sitting on the "New Release" shelf and are time and time again disappointed. Here's to hoping the simple act of blogging and posting lists will make a difference (you know, because online petitions are always successful too)

When it comes to TV, the past decade has given us everything from Firefly to Friends, Colbert to Cartman. Now, with the 00s coming to a close, it's time to salute the best of the boob tube. From Baltimore to the boardroom, this is the absolute best TV of the last ten years. Oh, and by the way, reality TV need not apply.

These are mostly shows from my childhood that I firmly believe should still be on the air. Although, a 30-year old Clarissa explaining it all might be just as off-putting as a 30 year old Buffy slaying vamps between changing diapers. On second thought, scratch that. Buffy was awesome. Dear TV Gods: Please bring Buffy back immediately. Love, Mollie.

In 2009, commercials are one thing we all can agree to hate. They get in the way of the TV shows we we're watching, etc. etc., but 2009 TV commercials have reached a breaking point with me. But the weirdest TV commercials go one step further than general hate, and completely reduce our brains to liquid. We don't know if we hate them, we don't know if we GET them, but we do know that we're seeing the commercials when we close our eyes...and enter our nightmares. In 2009, we were given a lot of commercials that were entertaining for the sheer amount of ridiculousness and insanity they brought forth. This is a list of the top echelon of those horrible yet entertaining gems.

This is far from a complete list, Jon routinely pulls back the curtain on the media, but these are some of the most memorable moments for me, personally. There's nothing better than watching someone else actually say and do exactly what you WISH you could do if you had a) the guts, b) the talent, and c) the forum. Jon Stewart is just the man for the job. These are some of the moments that made me howl with joy.

Top 10 Reality TV. 2009 was a pretty great year for Reality TV. From police and pranks to scandalous, dirty, dirty love, it's all in here, and it's all awesome. Each of these programs offers something unique that guarantees our love for trashy B.S. TV isn't going away anytime soon.

Updated 8.29.10 - Mad Men climbs (I am only halfway thru the current season). Big Love drops majorly after a terrible, terrible season. Love Glee but hate American Idol-like autotune musical covers. Heroes last season was so bad I question whether they should stay even in the lower rings of this list. Had to move Survivor up a bit as well after a number of great seasons in a row after all these years. Updated 2.10.10 - movement on the chart - Mad Men Season 3 sold me hook line and sinker. . . and Big Love this season has been a bit too over the top, hopefully it will reign itself back in... and this list has now basically become "Best TV shows of the Decade". In my 20s i watched very little TV, and it's hard to compare old shows/shows i watched as a youth (when you are a bored kid, Charles Nelson Reilly on Match Game qualifies as entertainment) to current fare, so this isn't really an "alltime" list - but it's pretty close. i fear that the golden age of TV may have been approx 2000 - 2007 or so (mainly because HBO was on an unsustainable streak), but hopefully will be proven wrong. I did love a few shows in the 80s (St Elsewhere, Hill Street Blues, M*A*S*H) and early 90s (LA Law and Seinfeld), but honestly that is probably about it. I also find i have a hard time watching any show with a laugh track nowadays, which probably unfairly biases me towards the last 10 years of TV. The reason the ratings are all clustered so high is because i am not listing the many shows i tried watching a few shows of and bailed on. So this list is basically every TV series I have watched at least a full season of since i got DirecTV, except perhaps for a few that i watched a season or so of and got cancelled to a level where I forgot. I would also like to point out that a list like this brings up some general Ranking questions - for example, is it fair to combine cable shows (less episodes needed, more leeway with the sensors) with network shows. Should a show like The Simpsons - which I think very few longtime fans would disagree ain't what it used to be, but certainly doesn't suck - get punished because, well, they have done over 400 episodes, and they are bound to run out of ideas. Food for thought, eh?
