Just take a look atthe reviews for NBCs new supernatural seriesMidnight, Texas(shown here).
Still, for every dud likeMy Generation,there’s been a gem likeKing of the Hill.
Here’s our clear-eyes, full-hearts ranking of the best Texas TV shows ever.

NBC
Besides, what would a list of Texas shows be without some country music?
10.FixerUpper, HGTV (2013-present)
Yes, we know, its a reality show.
But for millions of people, Chip and Joanna Gaines personify what contemporary Texas life is all about.

And on top of everything, they’re cute as all hell.
But thats a shame, beause weve got two words for you: James Wolk.
Austin Stories was cool and offbeat and a little meandering, perfectly conveying the titular citys enduring indie spirit.

6.Beavis and Butt-Head, MTV (1992-1996)
Some thought it was stupid and dangerous.
Other found it intelligent and daring.
We side with the latter camp.

Besides, the show that gave usDariais worthy of any list.
All hailthe Great Cornholio!
5.The Leftovers, HBO (2014-2017)
Its almost unfair to callThe Leftoversa Texas show.
