- CreatorDavid BenioffD.B. WeissStarsEmilia ClarkePeter DinklageKit HaringtonNine noble families fight for control over the lands of Westeros, while an ancient enemy returns after being dormant for millennia.Game of Thrones is my favorite show. I love the books too. It's brilliant. I love how the writers are not afraid to kill beloved characters off, as they have done. Several times. :( But love the story and the way the scenes are shot.
- CreatorJulie PlecKevin WilliamsonStarsNina DobrevPaul WesleyIan SomerhalderThe lives, loves, dangers and disasters in the town, Mystic Falls, Virginia. Creatures of unspeakable horror lurk beneath this town as a teenage girl is suddenly torn between two vampire brothers.I love TVD, and it's my second favorite show. DELENA is happening right now!!!! :))) Also, I love the Augustine subplot, and the show is just fantastic. The story had me hooked from the first day I watched it, and it's kept me reeled in since. Nina Dobrev is an amazing actress.
- CreatorSteven S. DeKnightStarsAndy WhitfieldLucy LawlessManu BennettThe life of Spartacus, the gladiator who lead a rebellion against the Romans. From his time as an ally of the Romans, to his betrayal and becoming a gladiator, to the rebellion he leads and its ultimate outcome.Can I say I was surprised by the amount of blood and gore in this show, as well as the amount of nudity? It's almost worse than Game of Thrones. Wait, scratch that- it IS worse than Game of Thrones. This show has become known for its inappropriate content. However, I watch because I love the story and the way it's executed. I'm a sucker for hot historical guys. :)

I didn't expect to love Klaus, Elijah and Rebekah so much! I almost prefer TO to TVD - keyword, ALMOST. The mature, sexier plots and the darker subtones are just what I need.
- CreatorAlan BallStarsAnna PaquinStephen MoyerSam TrammellTelepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse encounters a strange new supernatural world when she meets the mysterious Bill Compton, a southern Louisiana gentleman and vampire.True Blood has some of the hottest men alive on its show, including the sexy Joe Manganiello, which is part of the reason I watch it. I won't even lie. However, I can fall back on a pretty good story, good action, good sex, and good drama.
- CreatorShonda RhimesStarsEllen PompeoChandra WilsonJames Pickens Jr.A drama centered on the personal and professional lives of five surgical interns and their supervisors.I have a feeling this one is coming to an end. The writers can't stretch the story out for too much longer. However, I do love what they have, as well as their cast and their way of filming. Grey's Anatomy is a keeper.

- CreatorSeth MacFarlaneDavid ZuckermanStarsAlex BorsteinSeth MacFarlaneSeth GreenIn a wacky Rhode Island town, a dysfunctional family strives to cope with everyday life as they are thrown from one crazy scenario to another.I would have felt ashamed not to add this to the list.

- CreatorAdam HorowitzEdward KitsisStarsGinnifer GoodwinJennifer MorrisonLana ParrillaA young woman with a troubled past is drawn to a small town in Maine where fairy tales are to be believed.Though this one is relatively new, I love the premise of the fairy tale happenings and the storylines. I love Once Upon A Time and hope it runs for many seasons.
- CreatorJames Manos Jr.StarsMichael C. HallJennifer CarpenterDavid ZayasHe's smart. He's lovable. He's Dexter Morgan, America's favorite serial killer, who spends his days solving crimes and nights committing them.Dexter's hotness was what reeled me in, but the plot of the show had me gripped, and I've not tuned out since.
