In December, thousands of CNN readers picked their favorite 15 shows of 2013 from a selection of dramas, comedies and reality programs. After counting up all of the votes, these 15 shows came out on top:cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList[cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList.length]={"currentPicture":true,"x":0,"y":0,"pos":1,"title":"Readers\' Favorites: Top 15 TV shows of 2013"}

Netflix's newbie had comedic street cred from the start with Jenji Kohan as its creator, but its lack of availability -- not everyone has Netflix -- meant that it was more of a cult hit than a broad one in 2013. Yet for CNN readers, this freshman series is as good as you've heard. cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList[cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList.length]={"currentPicture":false,"x":0,"y":0,"pos":2,"title":"Comedy, No. 5: \'Orange is the New Black\'"}

How good is Jon Stewart? He might sometimes turn his acerbic wit on CNN, but he never fails to make us laugh. Apparently, you agree. cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList[cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList.length]={"currentPicture":false,"x":0,"y":0,"pos":3,"title":"No. 4: \'The Daily Show\'"}

With "How I Met Your Mother" wrapping up its final season, the series has jumped a few spots on our Readers Favorites' list. In 2012, "HIMYM" was at No. 5. cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList[cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList.length]={"currentPicture":false,"x":0,"y":0,"pos":4,"title":"No. 3: \'How I Met Your Mother\'"}

For the second year in a row, "Modern Family" is the runner-up for CNN readers' favorite comedy of the year. It's funny, but it's not quite as funny as ... cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList[cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList.length]={"currentPicture":false,"x":0,"y":0,"pos":5,"title":"No. 2: \'Modern Family\'"}

... "The Big Bang Theory," or so say you all. This CBS sitcom is far and away the favorite sitcom for CNN readers for the second year in a row. cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList[cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList.length]={"currentPicture":false,"x":0,"y":0,"pos":6,"title":"No. 1: \'The Big Bang Theory\'"}

"The Amazing Race" hasn't suffered a PR crisis like another CBS reality series we could name (*cough* "Big Brother" *cough*), but it still dropped down to No. 5 on our list from a cushy No. 2 in 2012. cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList[cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList.length]={"currentPicture":false,"x":0,"y":0,"pos":7,"title":"Reality, No. 5: \'The Amazing Race\'"}

ABC's veteran dancing competition has been battling low ratings this year, but CNN readers are still tuning in. "Dancing With the Stars" maintains its position as the fourth favorite reality show. cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList[cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList.length]={"currentPicture":false,"x":0,"y":0,"pos":8,"title":"No. 4: \'Dancing With the Stars\'"}

History Channel's "Pawn Stars" is once again CNN readers' pick for their third-favorite reality show. The docuseries, which follows the Vegas-based Harrison family and their pawn shop, has been on the air since 2009. cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList[cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList.length]={"currentPicture":false,"x":0,"y":0,"pos":9,"title":"No. 3: \'Pawn Stars\'"}

"Duck Dynasty" is closing out 2013 in a storm of controversy, but for the rest of the year, it was A&E's brightest success story. With the millions tuning in to each episode, is it any wonder that this series ranks as CNN readers' runner-up reality favorite?cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList[cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList.length]={"currentPicture":false,"x":0,"y":0,"pos":10,"title":"No. 2: \'Duck Dynasty\'"}

Like "Dancing with the Stars," NBC's typically popular "The Voice" started to struggle in ratings with its fifth season. But, at the end of the year, CNN's readers had no reason not to call it their favorite reality champ. cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList[cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList.length]={"currentPicture":false,"x":0,"y":0,"pos":11,"title":"No. 1: \'The Voice\'"}

NBC is one network that has bragging rights after the fall 2013 TV season. Its new detective thriller "The Blacklist" has been popular enough to earn a second season -- good news for CNN readers, who selected it as their fifth-favorite drama. cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList[cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList.length]={"currentPicture":false,"x":0,"y":0,"pos":12,"title":"Dramas, No. 5: \'The Blacklist\'"}

"NCIS" slipped a bit for CNN readers this year. The CBS police procedural celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2013, but it was no longer our readers' runner-up drama, as it was in 2012.cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList[cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList.length]={"currentPicture":false,"x":0,"y":0,"pos":13,"title":"No. 4: \'NCIS\'"}

"Game of Thrones" killed it this year -- and we could say that literally, too, considering the devastating "Red Wedding" episode. The HBO show is holding steady as the No. 3 favorite show for CNN readers, the same position it occupied in 2012.cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList[cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList.length]={"currentPicture":false,"x":0,"y":0,"pos":14,"title":"No. 3: \'Game of Thrones\'"}

AMC's monster hit "The Walking Dead" dropped to No. 2 after reigning as the No. 1 drama for CNN readers in 2012. But, we think, there's a strong reason for that. cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList[cnnArticleGallery.currentImageList.length]={"currentPicture":false,"x":0,"y":0,"pos":15,"title":"No. 2: \'The Walking Dead\'"}

and what a tune it was -- we're not surprised that CNN readers wanted to say goodbye by voting the drama into the No. 1 spot. After all, that final half of season five
contained an episode that many consider to be the best of the series.

STORY HIGHLIGHTSCNN readers voted for their favorite TV shows of 2013 They selected their top five picks in drama, reality and comedy categoriesThe choices in comedy were more or less the sameThe drama and reality categories saw some shake-ups
(CNN) -- In 2013, our TV options were practically endless.
Anyway you wanted it -- live, DVR'd, online, through a streaming service -- you could probably get it. It was like something out of a Journey song. And so we turned to you, our CNN readers, for the second year in a row to find out which shows you absolutely could not do without -- the ones that you would proudly identify as one of your "favorites."Earlier this month, thousands of you flocked to our TV polls to tell us your top five picks in the drama, comedy and reality categories. Interestingly enough, even with all of the new shows that arrived in 2013, your favorite comedies are more or less the same: "The Big Bang Theory" is still No. 1, with "Modern Family" a close second. The only difference, in fact, is that Fox's "New Girl" fell out of the top 5 favorites altogether, replaced by the even "New"-er "Orange is the New Black."In the drama category, several voters were clearly feeling nostalgic for "Breaking Bad." The AMC show, which ended its run this year, didn't even make the top 5 favorite dramas list in 2012. This year, however, the Bryan Cranston and company were No. 1."Homeland" likely suffered under the weight of its own ludicrousness and dropped out of the top five this year. In its place is NBC's new drama "The Blacklist."In the reality category, "Duck Dynasty's" reign couldn't be ignored. CNN reader votes pushed the contested A&E show into second place, knocking perennial favorite "Survivor" out of the top five altogether.If you missed our voting period, feel free to play along in the comments. Tell us your top five favorite shows across the drama, comedy and reality categories. 0Comments »SHARE THISPrintEmailMore sharingRedditStumbleUponDelicious/* push in config for this share instance */cnn_shareconfig.push({"id" : "cnn_sharebar2","url" : "http://www.cnn.com/2013/12/23/showbiz/tv/tv-2013-cnn-readers-favorites/index.html","title" : "CNN readers\' favorite TV of 2013"});
