What are the best reality shows on right now? Are you a Real Housewives faithful or are you totally into reality shows set in the elements, like a Bear Gryllis situation? Maybe you&#39;re strictly a Survivor devotee? Some consider Dancing with the Stars to be one of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-current-abc-shows/ranker-tv" target="_blank">best current shows on ABC</a>. No matter what you prefer, there&#39;s plenty of current reality television for you to enjoy.

Reality series on now reflect a certain evolution of the genre. Sure, there&rsquo;s still table flipping, but today&rsquo;s top reality shows are popular with stars who are much more streetwise than those kooky kids back in the early-&lsquo;90s on the first Real World (except for maybe the people on Hoarders).&nbsp;Which current reality show should reign supreme? <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/who-should-be-the-next-bachelorette-/chantellesilveira?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">The Bachelor</a>?

This list of current reality programs also includes&nbsp;reality competition shows, like America&#39;s Got Talent and The Voice.&nbsp;&nbsp;

How about the latest ruler of current reality shows? The Great British Bake Off quietly debuted in America and quickly won over viewers, even though the most dramatic thing that&rsquo;s happened on the series so far is an Irish guy dumping a baked Alaska in the bin?&nbsp;If that isn&#39;t for you, maybe fan-favorite <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-cooking-competition-shows?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">cooking reality shows</a> like Top Chef are what will get your upvotes.

Supernatural & Paranormal

Among our favorite genres are sub-genres that sometimes feel like they were designed specifically for us. In the case of thrillers, it&#39;s the spine-tinglingly spooky supernatural thriller that is currently lighting up the TV landscape and filling it with Demogorgons, exorcists, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-supernatural-mystery-tv-shows/ranker-tv" target="_blank">mysteries</a>, and storylines that manage to be undead, yet <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-exciting-thriller-shows/ranker-tv/" target="_blank">pulse-racing</a>. And we couldn&#39;t be happier.

These supernatural <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-thriller-shows-2019/ranker-tv?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">thriller TV shows</a> are all at once risk-taking, innovative, and deserving of a week-long binge watch with no break. While some of television&#39;s best supernatural thrillers - we&#39;re looking at you Twilight Zone - have been around since the beginning of television, the revitalization of the genre that started with shows like Fringe and Supernatural have carried over into the DNA of the best shows still on the air. With their rich mythology, flawed characters, and endless cliffhangers, it&#39;s safe to say we can&#39;t get enough supernatural thrillers on television.

With the sub-genre going stronger than ever on the small screen, there&#39;s no better time to turn off all the lights, question whether or not your best friend is a vampire, recite some Latin spells from a dusty old book, and rank the best supernatural <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/thriller-tv-shows-and-series/reference" target="_blank">thriller series on TV</a>.

Your guide to the best anime shows in almost every genre - everything from horror and mecha, to yuri and harem. =^‥^=

The Best Anime of Every Genre

Looking for good anime to watch? Here are the best anime shows of all time, ranked by fans everywhere. Top anime series include popular shows&nbsp;like Death Note, Attack on Titan, and many&nbsp;more. Plus, with so much&nbsp;<a href="/list/new-anime-debuting-in-2018/elise-yeakley" target="_blank">new anime debuting</a> each year, the list of best anime will only grow. The blanket term &quot;anime&quot; in the US can refer to any animation originating in Japan, and specifically differentiates a few aspects of Japanese animation from more Western styles. For example, the <a href="/list/funniest-anime-shows/ranker-anime">top comedy&nbsp;animes</a> can be be much more explicit in their humor.&nbsp;This includes the Japanese propensity to feature adult themes, cool action scenes,&nbsp;and stories in animation, as opposed to Western &quot;cartoons&quot; aimed primarily at children, as well as the exaggerated, fantasy-oriented and colorful style of Japanese animated visuals.

Anime TV series first found popularity <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/anime-set-outside-japan/anna-lindwasser?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">outside of Japan</a> in the 1980s and have continued to find larger&nbsp;audiences in the West. A number of famous anime shows&nbsp;originating in Japan - such as Cowboy Bebop or Dragon Ball Z - have found enthusiastic audiences for dubbed versions in <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/countries-where-english-is-the-official-language/best-world-journeys?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">English speaking countries</a>. The anime style has grown so popular in the US, it has stared to significantly influence the style and aesthetics of American animation. Shows such as Avatar: The Last Airbender, Afro Samurai, and Samurai Jack have borrowed heavily from anime in terms of pacing, subject matter, and design.

Ranking the greatest anime ever is certainly a difficult task, but it&#39;s time to settle this once and for all: which of the most popular anime shows crack the top 100., the top 10, or even the top 10 anime of all time?

Are there any good feminist series and positive <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/greatest-tv-shows-for-women/ranker-tv?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">female TV shows</a> on air today? The television landscape is filled with feminist shows any strong woman will love. One of the goals of feminism is to place high-profile female characters in television roles where they are in charge. The female protagonists on this list include women who are politicians, doctors, lawyers, CIA agents, writers, wanna-be Queens, scientists, and even superheroes - but which of these shows do women like the most?

What&rsquo;s a feminist, you ask? The simplest definition of feminism is that it&rsquo;s the pursuit of equality among the sexes. If you think of the traditional television roles of females 50 years ago, you can imagine a lot of doting housewives who stay at home and cater to the demands of their husbands. Even 10 years ago, you would have seen a lot of females scantily dressed playing inferior roles with limited speaking parts. But the times are a-changing, and more and more television shows star <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/strong-female-characters/anncasano?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">strong female characters</a> in lead roles.

There&rsquo;s still a long way to go in terms of gender equality. However, there are a slew of positive female characters currently on TV. Make your voice heard. Vote up the top current examples of feminist television, or add any other great shows for women that aren&#39;t already listed.

Smart Entertainment

Since about the early 2000s, TV audiences have been blessed with what many experts call The Golden Age of Television. In other words, TV has never been so darn good or so darn smart. This list features smart TV shows that are currently running new episodes, even if we&rsquo;re just anxiously awaiting for a fresh season.&nbsp;Here are the best shows with the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/current-tv-shows-with-the-best-writing/ranker-tv" target="_blank">best writing</a>, characters, and storylines that smart people watch.

There are several reasons why TV has never been better. First, there are more channels that cater to different tastes. Not only are cable networks like AMC and FX churning out Emmy Award-winning dramas, but streaming channels like Amazon and Netflix, are also producing high-caliber programming that are not constricted to the tight guidelines typically associated with network television.

It&rsquo;s not just about cursing and showing a little nudity, it&rsquo;s about telling complicated stories that don&rsquo;t just wind up neat and tidy at the end of a half hour episode. It&rsquo;s safe to say that television is not just for the masses anymore to simply idle away wasted evenings, a smart TV show is a welcomed form of entertainment in even the most highbrow of houses.

You will see the total gamut of programming on this list. There are even animated comedies. It&rsquo;s true that a middling 8-year-old can watch The Simpsons or Family Guy and be extremely entertained. But, for the shows to truly be appreciated, an intellectual mind is needed to pick up on all of the nearly laugh-a-second nuances and understand the less obvious references.

Additionally, programs like True Detective, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/ranking-the-best-seasons-of-sherlock/ranker-tv" target="_blank">Sherlock</a>, and Fargo, offer a lot of hidden meaning. The better read the viewer is, the more the material will come to life. It&rsquo;s not to say that a regular Joe Schmo can&rsquo;t enjoy a show like The Americans, of course they can. However, these types of shows aren&#39;t dumbed down. They require a person to actually pay attention, to be active spectators aware of narrative shifts, and to be able to put the pieces of a complicated puzzle together without a lot of hand-holding.

Which intelligent TV shows are your favorite?&nbsp;Be sure to vote up the TV series you think are the smartest shows on television.
