Greg Grunberg's Top 10 TV Shows

Rejoice, fans of Heroes, for your show has returned! But while you're enjoying the thrill of great television, remember that actors are people, too--and that they love great TV just as much as the rest of us! Here, Heroes star Greg Grunberg (Matt Parkman) shares his Top 10 list with TV.com.

Remember, Heroes airs Mondays at 9:00 p.m.--only on NBC!

10) Holmes on Homes
It is so much fun to watch a contractor talk s**t about the poor work done by another contractor.

9) Molto Mario
Mario Batali is my hero. You have to have a great deal of self-confidence to pull off those orange clogs on national TV.

8) The Daily Show with Jon Stewart
This is how I get my news. The "real" news just seems to be a depressing repeat of the night before, only more sensational. Way too depressing for me. I watch Stewart and read the Drudge Report to stay informed.

7) Lost
If it weren't for me taking the plane down, there would be no Lost. They are friends of mine and I've been hooked as have millions of others since the first episode.

6) The Girls Next Door
Because I, like Hef, live with three playmates as my "girlfriends"...so it's nice to compare notes. And no matter how much they blur out the nudity, you see it! Oh, you see it!

5) American Idol
Say what you will, this is truly a raw talent competition. If you can't sing, you have no business being on the show. I love that this show changes lives, overnight.

4) Extras
Ricky Gervais is bringing sexy back!

3) My Name Is Earl
White trash humor rocks! Greg Garcia keeps me laughing every week.

2) The Office
So easy to watch. Some of the best performances on TV. Love this show!

1) Heroes
I watch for the mind-reading cop. He's the best actor in the world!

    I absolutely adore the mind-reading cop, he's the only one I watch out for on Heroes.
    And I like how he has more powers then he knows.

    Actually, I was surprized that he watches Heroes. I hear that most actors don't watch there stuff. Of course, the support it and say it is the greatest but don't necessarily watch it at home. Anyway, that is just what I have heard.

    I Wonder why he didn't have reruns of felicity or alias in his top ten - oh and anything at all by JJ abrams his schoolyard friend

    May 08, 2007
  • celine_23

    amazing actor although lost really should be number 3 on his list . if he only didnt die in the first episode. he really is a great actor.

    May 05, 2007
  • sinnsvak

    A bit funny, especially that he has heroes on #1. Though it makes sense.

    May 05, 2007
  • Pumpkin-Head

    LOL! Number one is Heroes..
    Hahah loved about what he said about LOST, i think he would be a great character in it if he didn't die in the first episode, but now he is my fav in Heroes, Hehe ^^

    Great actor, really feels like he's down to earth, and with a great sense of humour, which was portrayed in Alias a lot.....

    I loved him since I saw the LOST pilot! I remember I used to annoyingly yell "Pilot!" whenever her showed up on anything, and Once he got a role on Heroes I was in love! He's so down to earth and just a great guy all around!

    He's one of my favourites on Heroes. I loved him in everything he's been in (maybe except Lost :P He wasn't around very long)

    Apr 24, 2007
  • AnimeleePM

    He's so down-to-Earth, it's like he's one of us. In all his interviews, he's so excited just to be a part of Heroes.There are celebrities you'd be scared of approaching on the street, because you just now they'd be fed up and pissed off with "another annoying fan".I have a feeling that if you went up to Greg Grunberg or Masi Oka, you could engage in a nerdy conversation, like theories on LOST, politics, comics, etc.He's become one of my favourite actors since I saw him on LOST (and in that deleted scene with Claire at the airpost, which sadly didn't make it), and I just like him even more now because of the interviews I've seen him in on Heroes. :)
