My Favorite TV Shows of all time

Preserving Terminator's good name by wiping #3 from the record. Lead by 4 amazing actors, Summer Glau being the best this show was VERY prematurely canceled. Rarely to I ever lament the death of a show but in this case I find it disgusting. We never got a real ending, or anything resembling a conclusion. BRING IT BACK!

I love this show so much I run the Wiki. Slowly going down hill but still an amazing show, so funny and sad and touching and true. Just spot on with average British life. The Us remake is terrible, they were so lazy with it they barely changed a thing and still managed to screw it up.

Do I really need to? Who alive and of sound mind does not know what the X Files is? Or how it pushed the envelope and became the Internet's first real success story. Did go down hill in the later series, Mulder's departure and Scully occasional visits in the higher numbered series ruined it for me, along with the terrible character's that took over the X Files.

Yeah, technically it's from the 60's, and as much as I love the original show, I can't get enough of Doctor Who. Time travel, space, aliens, horror, River Song, comedy, it has it all. Favorite Doctor: David Tennant Favorite Companions: #1 Rose Tyler (Billie Piper) #2 Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) Favorite Character of all: RIVER SONG.

I actually discovered this last year. Obviously I knew of it's existence as do a hell of alot of people, but I always watched Charmed over it. Then while struggling for something to watch I remembered how it'd been described as a cross between Charmed and the X files and I have to say, I love it. The quality slips in the later seasons but it's still of a high standard. That Joss Whedon eh? Will he ever fail to impress me? Oh wait, he did, Firefly was not my thing at all.

Obviously right up there with Buffy, but Angel has always had that more adult quality. The character of Fred (Doctor Saunders in Dollhouse) made this show for me, and later Illyria. The show goes a little haywire in Season 3 and 4 in my opinion, obviously mixed with great episodes but the over arching "big bad" story was of a strangely low standard. But the show surpasses itself in it's final season, which was amazing.

I have loved this show since I was so so young. Patsy is everything I want to be in life. She's loud and brash and funny and nasty and sex mad, she smokes like a chimney and drinks like a sailor and does more drugs than Jagger. A truly classic TV show and it's coming back this year (2011) for a 20 year special!! :D

Amazingly funny and British, with incredible characters that are both believable and brilliantly bizzare. Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Edgar Wright technically began their success here and later went on to Shaun of the Dead and the amazing Hot Fuzz. But Spaced's co-writer/creator (with Pegg) Jessica Hynes neé Stevenson never quite made it with them sadly, beyond playing a bit role in Shaun of the Dead she seems to have chosen family over "breaking America", which is fair but sad because she's amazing.

Another newer show. Also another show that shows just how much I can show my sexuality at times lol. Pretty Little Liars is superb, one of the few shows I love that has no effects or similar, just good drama with occasional action. It even got me onto the books which are also amazing, just quite different.

Cougar Town (yeah yeah, it has a terrible name that doesn't describe it at all) is basically Scrubs, but better. Alot of people avoid it because the name makes it sound like something different, but it's pure awesome comedy drenched in wine. The recent (2012) episodes aren't up to the usual standard at the moment but I love this show. If you liked Scrubs, you WILL like this.

I have only just discovered Fringe recently. I never liked Lost, which was made by a lot of the same people, but this show is a brilliant mix of The X-Files and any good investigation show. Similar to Supernatural like show but without anything REALLY supernatural, it's all science related, fringe science (aka pseudo science). It can be a confusing show if you let your mind wander but it does mystery so well and hasn't disapointed me yet.

Has a bad reputation on the web. People put down Eliza Dushku's acting skills and at the end of the day it failed. Personaly I think people couldn't get passed the whole slavery angle, especially where sex is concerned. And yes I'm aware of the rumours that Sarah Connor was canceled for this and if true that's sad, but they're both great shows, TSCC being rather better however.

Another rather well known entry, and another example of my obsession with fantasy, magic, sci-fi, aliens, time travel and the like. Went majorly down hill in the later seasons as do so many other shows but still an amazing show. Piper has and always will be my favorite character in Charmed aswell as being the character with the power's I'd most like to have.

Something I avoided for years, after watching small parts of it I thought it juvenile and rather sad. Eventually a friend annoyed me into watching it, from beginning to now, and I absolutely loved it. Sam Winchester is sexy as hell for one, Lilith as a child is some of the best TV I've ever seen. Just an all round, fun, intriguing ride.

Classic show, began and finished a few years before I was even born but an ex boyfriend introduced me to it and I've loved Victoria Wood and Julie Walters since. Full of amazingly funny British comedy sketches, from the random and insane to the dry, sarcastic and insulting. Just amazing.

Another British classic. The later series got kind of painful to watch but the majority of the show is amazingly funny, even today. Their musical and movie parodies are my favorite part of the show by far.

Karen Walker is one of my favorite characters in anything, ever. She is the biggest reason I love this show. Maybe a large part of why I love it is because it was the first time I saw gay men on TV that weren't always bitchy, feminine, the joke or trying to say homosexuality is wrong. It also had plenty of awesome guest stars, such as Cher and Madonna (who was hilarious) and was just the right kind of funny.

Another Paranormal-esque show. Medium follows the life of Allison Dubois, the psychic who works with the District Attorney's Office and a Police Detective in Pheonix to solve crimes. Allison has general psychic feelings and impressions from people she meets, the off bit of lie detecting and mind reading along with visions but the bulk of her impressions come from her dreams, dreams sent by the dead that she can communicate with. Canceled before it's time and overly rushed to it's conclusion, Medium never had a bad season.

Another supernatural show I love. Bo and Kenzie are my favorite gals on TV at the moment. It's full of sex (the main character being a Sucubus and all), action and mystery. The second season just ended but I cannot wait for more.

I discovered this incredibly late too, but now I watch it every week (despite being in the UK and therefor behind shhhh). I watched everything up until the last series over the course of days and then waited excitedly for this current series. Serial killers, blood, swearing, insane people, sociopaths, Darla (Buffy/Angel)/Marcy Foxx (Foxy [Jawbreaker]) etc. Basicaly my other weakness to magic and super powers, murder, but not in a CSI or Law and Order way.

One of the few TV shows I love that advertises to the world that I am either a very gay guy or a secret middle aged woman. So very unlike most things I enjoy, Desperate Housewives is just so very full of drama and bitchyness that I could never resist. Favorite Housewives: Gabrielle Solis and Bree Van De Kamp/Hodge

This show had 2 awesome seasons before it was canceled (on a technical cliff hanger ending). It starred the brilliant Christina Applegate, known best as Kelly from Married With Children. One of the funniest US shows I have ever watched, but as usual, canceled WAY before it's time.

Another forray into the gay/female fringe world. Ugly Betty and the amazingly bitchy world of Mode is possibly the best drama/comedy of the last few years. Plus it's whole value as the story of the ugly, poor girl who succeeds where the mean rich people fail. But one thing I loved about this show is how it wasn't the story of an ugly girl who nobody liked having a make over and becoming everyone's best friend. Yes, she had her braces off and plucked her eyebrows, stopped making as many bad fashion choices. But Betty didn't compromise who she was. This isn't She's All That or even The Devil Wear's Prada. I guess you could say Betty refines herself into a true better version of herself, rather than superficial make overs solve everything.

Dead Like Me follows the post death life of George Lass and her job as a Grim Reaper, charged with taking the souls of dead people after her own death by flaming toilet seat. Her co workers include the brilliant Betty (for a while) played by Rebecca Gayheart (who I loved in Jawbreaker), the crass and pill popping drunk Mason (Callum Blue sp?), the tough and formidable meter maid Roxy (Jasmine Guy), later the once almost film star who has fellated everyone ever Daisy (Laura Harris) and the boss of the gang Rube (Mandy Patinkin). George is also another character filled with sarcasm and cynicism that I can't help but relate to.

A remnant of the 90's and MTV's glory days, still as watchable now as ever. Daria's intelligence, social akwardness, cynical and sarcastic attitude just endeared me to her as only finding your animated opposite sex twin could.

I only recently discovered this show, years after it being mentioned to me and I enjoyed it so much I watched each episode one after the other. Then I found out it was canceled, just like almost every other American show I loved. I really do want to hurt American channel execs. Alot. With fire.

Written and Created by Russel T Davies, the genius behind the first 4 Series of Doctor Who's 2005 reboot, Queer as Folk went on to spawn an American version (what doesn't these days?). It follows the lives of super slut (somehow, since he's ugly) Stuart, his best friend and secret admirer Vince and 15 year old Nathan who falls for Stuart after a one night stand. Brilliantly gay without being sickeningly camp, real, heartfelt and sometimes sexy.

Torchwood is to Doctor Who what Angel is to Buffy, ie set in the same universe but with much more adult themes. A great mix of sci fi, horror, comedy and sex appeal. However in it's third series, a mini series called Children of the Earth consisting of 5 episodes all following the same story are of a different calibre to the first 2 series. Amazingly dark and devoid of the show's usual humour, which isn't always a bad thing, it's a true dark sci-fi tragedy filled with conspiracy and deception. And it's upcoming 4th series is being shaped by some very talented people, but the usual "America puts money in and now the show must be in America, be changed to be more accessible by America and shown in America first" is really annoying me.

Yeah it's not a proper TV show like all the others, but I just had to shout out my love for QI. Stephen Fry is awesome and if he were younger I'd do him in a heart beat :P but seriously, VERY funny. Has a lot of recurring small time British celebrities on it and of course the constant presence of the sometimes hillarious, sometimes juvenille Alan Davies.

Possibly the most random show on this list. Yes it shows my love of magic again but to a much more juvenile and silly degree. I obviously enjoyed it as a child, even though it was more geared to the female of the species (guess that's my gay gene again) and I actually re watched it all again recently, at the age of 20 and I still enjoyed the first few seasons. Though it does go downhill once she gets ready for college. The lack of Zelda and especialy Hilda ruined it for me.
