I get that feeling a lot, that "OMG this show is so awesome!!!!" feeling when you've found a new show to really get fangirly about (I've most recently had this feeling about comedies - Glee, Modern Family, and Community have had amazing freshmen runs this year; if you don't get them where you are, DOWNLOAD THEM NOW!!!)
I generally have an evolving top 5 TV shows, but my standard answer when someone asks me what's my favorite show is "Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but I recognize that Lost is a better drama and Arrested Development is a better comedy." I figure this leaves me plenty of room to quibble, but expresses my loyalty to Buffy clearly, and shows it's not blind loyalty - I've thought about it, can see Lost is better at worldbuilding and plotting, and Arrested Development is better at ensemble comedy and reoccurring meta in-jokes, but Buffy is still pretty darn good in all respects.

I overthink this way too much.
