In many ways, the debate over which television show stole the year is the toughest of the end-of-year debates.
Do you recognize the bittersweet ending of a beloved classic like NBC's 30 Rock, or do you give credit to shows currently hitting their full stride of hilarity, like FOX's New Girl? Do you prefer being able to binge-watch entire seasons of Netflix releases like Orange Is The New Black and House of Cards, or do you crave the suspense that comes from waiting a week for each new episode of such dramas as AMC's Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead?
Regardless of your criteria, we're curious to hear what kept you glued to the screen in 2013.
We rounded up 35 of the year's most widely-watched and critically-acclaimed shows in the poll, below. Vote for your favorite to help us determine the best show of 2013, and tell us why in the comments. You can vote for up to five shows, but if you don't see your choice feel free to add your vote in the comments. The polls will remain open all week, and we'll reveal the results Dec. 17.
