Here are the names of some of the books I have used to compile most of the data available on this site.

That book from Brooks and Marsh is a must-have for all TV fans out there. It is the best book about TV shows. It is better than Alex McNeil's book : Total Television (which is also available on CD-ROM). I think that it is worth every cent (it costs about 25 USD).  McNeil's book is very good too and includes informations about daytime TV shows too.

Recent sources for the last few years : thefutoncritic.com website.

To compile my rankings I have mostly used the Brooks/Marsh book for the complete list of Top-30 shows then gave 30 points for a 1st place finish in the year end rankings, 29 points for a 2nd place and so on down to 1 point for a 30th rank.
