I haven't messed with mine in a while, but here they are.

1. Big Bang Theory
2. The Office
3. Psych
4. How I Met Your Mother
5. Mythbusters
6. Smash Lab
7. Magnum, PI
8. Cold Case
9. Cold Case (different station)
10. Criminal Minds

I should probably bump Magnum and Cold Case down, I rarely ever watch those. And I never watch Smash Lab.

I organize my season passes by channels. So if the show is on network TV I have those at top. (since no repeats anytime soon)
Then shows on HBO and Cable channels that have repeats typically within 24 hours I list thoses next.
Then shows I don't really care about but like to have I put at bottom.

So my top 10 is based on assurance of getting recording more so than the show I want to watch the most.

This.

Plus I have three Tivos and only about 30-35 season passes, so nearly everything is in the top ten. I generally have over 400 suggestions recorded so that is what I use for filler TV, so I don't need more season passes.

Yeah, my top 10 has no bearing on what my actual top 10 shows are. :) I don't even know what order they are in, other than the ones for Discovery and SciFi and stuff are below the network ones because of all the repeats.

I organize most of our SPs by day of the week, so the top 10 (of our 40 or so) does not necessarily reflect our top 10 favorite shows.

I organize mine by network and then by cable channels. That way, most cable shows are repeated and I will catch them if they would conflict with a network show.

These threads come up often, I should probably post my top 10 in one of them. Though my Top 10 on at least one or two of my Tivos is likely to be CANCELLED shows.. since I throw cancelled shows up there to catch 'burn offs'... though I sometimes leave them for years and years..

mine are arranged by day of week as well. However there are a top 40 or so that are the 'regular' shows then after that 40 is just a bunch of other stuff like home shows etc that get recorded if the tuners are available. Just too hard to organize over 100 SP and the ^&*(*& HR20 only does 50 SL so is a PITA at times.

For some reason I read this as top 10-season passes, like season passes you've had for 10 seasons. I don't even think the TiVo has been around 10 years, has it?

5) Scrubs
6) My Name Is Earl

I also put my OTA Network shoes first as first run shows are rarely repeated quickly. Then comes shows on cable that don't repeat often. The rest go after that.
