IMDB Top Show List

The IMDB (Internet Move Data Base) has a list of the top TV shows. Users of the website can log in and rate shows. The website uses the ratings from the people who log in and vote on each show. Typically, popular shows have higher ratings than obscure shows. This list will show the best shows determined by popular vote, but it will not be able to provide you with customized show suggestions based on your personal preferences. If you want a personalized TV show list, you will want to try Jinni.

You can read the official Tomatoes review as well as reviews by viewers to see why the site gives the show that rating. Based on these reviews, it is easy to find good TV shows to watch.
