- CreatorMichelle AshfordStarsMichael SheenLizzy CaplanCaitlin FitzGeraldDrama about the pioneers of the science of human sexuality whose research touched off the sexual revolution.Absolutely one of the finest well-written series I've ever seen.
- CreatorAlex GansaHoward GordonStarsClaire DanesMandy PatinkinDamian LewisA bipolar CIA operative becomes convinced a prisoner of war has been turned by al-Qaeda and is planning to carry out a terrorist attack on American soil.I'm still following this as long as it's on, but hoping it will stay as interesting as the first 2 seasons.
- CreatorAnthony CiprianoCarlton CuseKerry EhrinStarsVera FarmigaFreddie HighmoreMax ThieriotA contemporary prequel to Psycho, giving a portrayal of how Norman Bates' psyche unravels through his teenage years, and how deeply intricate his relationship with his mother, Norma, truly is.OUTSTANDING in all areas: casting, acting, directing, script, cinematography.... what a pleasant surprise!
- CreatorBrian K. VaughanStarsMike VogelRachelle LefevreAlexander KochAn invisible and mysterious force field descends upon the small town of Chester's Mill, Maine, USA, trapping residents inside, cut off from the rest of civilization. The trapped townspeople must discover the secrets and purpose of the "dome" or "sphere" and its origins, while coming to learn more than they ever knew about each other and animals too.I'm mildly curious and might be hanging in to see whether the Dome ever gets opened, how many more characters will be killed off... and if Big Jim truly changed his evil ways (methinks he has not).
- CreatorAaron ZelmanStarsOmar EppsFrances FisherMatt CravenThe lives of the people of Arcadia, Missouri are forever changed when their deceased loved ones return.If this gets cancelled then I'll be extremely disappointed.
- CreatorDamon LindelofTom PerrottaStarsJustin TherouxAmy BrennemanChristopher EcclestonThree years after the disappearance of 2% of the global human population, a group of people in a small New York community try to continue their lives while coping with the tragedy of the unexplained nature of the event.I'll follow this as long as it's on; a few of the characters are growing on me.
- CreatorDick WolfStarsMariska HargitayChristopher MeloniIce-TThis series follows the Special Victims Unit, a specially trained squad of detectives in the New York City Police Department that investigate sexually related crimes.This is the ONLY crime/cop show I currently watch - both new episodes and old, whenever I can.
- CreatorStephen ColbertBen KarlinJon StewartStarsStephen ColbertJay KatsirJon StewartSatirical newscaster Stephen Colbert provides humorous commentary on the big issues going on in the United States and the rest of the world, with his larger-than-life ego and overly-patriotic spirit along with him every step of the way.I have a feeling the Sullivan Theater is in for big changes when our guy hops over to CBS to fill Dave's shoes.
- CreatorMadeleine SmithbergLizz WinsteadStarsJon StewartTrevor NoahStephen ColbertA comedy news show featuring humorous takes on top stories.
- StarsBill MaherAndrew SullivanMichael MooreComedian and political satirist Bill Maher discusses topical events with guests from various backgrounds.Still try to catch it whenever I can...
- StarsKevin O'LearyPhil CrowleyMark CubanAmbitious entrepreneurs present their breakthrough business concepts.I'm hooked.
- CreatorKevin WilliamsonStarsKevin BaconJames PurefoyShawn AshmoreA brilliant, charismatic, and psychotic serial killer communicates with other active serial killers and activates a cult of believers who follow his every command.They'd better not cancel this. It's not my #1 favorite but I'm sorta hooked on it (and I just adore Kevin Bacon)
- DirectorLinda MendozaStarsJ.K. SimmonsEli BakerAva Deluca-VerleyMel sneaks into Joyce's house to take bubble baths; Joyce panics over her success at school.OUTSTANDING SHOW- please don't let it be true that it was cancelled!!!!
- CreatorLee AronsohnChuck LorreStarsJon CryerAshton KutcherAngus T. JonesA hedonistic jingle writer's free-wheeling life comes to an abrupt halt when his brother and 10-year-old nephew move into his beach-front house.I am surprised that I still like the show, after Ashton replaced Charlie- I was never a fan of Ashton when I saw him interviewed and just a few bits and pieces of other series he'd been on, and didn't expect I'd stick with the show- nor did I think it would last once they dumped Charlie. I gotta say - I think I like it better... the original supporting cast is still as good as ever and the new additions are great. Such a pity that Angus had such a drastic change of heart about staying on - but as long as Jake returns as an occasional guest I think that will satisfy the empty gap he left. Much more than bringing Charlie back from the dead.
- CreatorEileen HeislerDeAnn HelineStarsPatricia HeatonNeil FlynnCharlie McDermottThe daily mishaps of a married woman and her semi-dysfunctional family and their attempts to survive life in general in the town of Orson, Indiana.This is closer to reality than most family sitcoms-- maybe a bit exaggerated, but ya gotta love them. (Glad it's not yet been cancelled!)
- CreatorCharles KuraltRobert NorthshieldStarsJane PauleyCharles OsgoodMo RoccaThe news show that does personal interest pieces. Anything from interviews with actors, political figures, athletes, musicians, costume designers, fashion designers, restaurant owners, charity heads, kids with special talentsI feel like my week doesn't get off to the best start if I don't wake up early enough to catch this show - always fascinating, superior stories, well reported.
- CreatorChuck LorreBill PradyStarsJohnny GaleckiJim ParsonsKaley CuocoA woman who moves into an apartment across the hall from two brilliant but socially awkward physicists shows them how little they know about life outside of the laboratory.Ok I admit it- I'm addicted (even to occasional re-runs). It fills the void left by Cheers, Frasier, Friends, and other well-written series of the past few decades....
- CreatorPaul AbbottStarsChloë SevignyRoma ChristensenJorden BennieFollows the life of transgender contract killer Mia, who travels to West Yorkshire to seek out her ex girlfriend.will this continue? *It should !
- CreatorJason KatimsStarsDavid WaltonBenjamin StockhamAl MadrigalWomanizing Will lives a carefree bachelor life on a Christmas song's royalties - until 11-year-old Marcus and his cute mom Fiona move in next door. Will provides an escape for Marcus from his vegan, hippie, uncool, depressed mom.The series AND the film (of same title) are equally entertaining.
- StarsJamie OliverJamie Oliver shows how to cook a meal in just 15 minutesJamie Oliver is fun to watch and pick up a few ideas from- on occasion. I think the only shows around currently are the ones in syndication... nonetheless it's refreshing to catch the occasional re-run- as I missed them all the first time around....
- CreatorRoone ArledgeStarsJuJu ChangBill WeirByron PittsA nightly discussion of one important news event from earlier that day.good relevant news wrap-up most nights, especially when Craig and Geoff become too overly inane and sophomoric, as they do... or when I've been watching Kimmel instead of Fallon and am too tired to channel-surf.... (p.s. I do like Seth but not on Late Night - he was best on SNL).
- CreatorDan FogelmanStarsJami GertzLenny VenitoSimon TemplemanA New Jersey family moves to an affluent gated community composed entirely of extraterrestrials.Outstanding first 2 seasons.... (My favorite episode was when they went on SHARK TANK- well done). So much potential for this show if only they'd keep it around-- would take a long time to run out of ideas, since it's proven to be quite unique -- After 3rd Rock from the SUN, who'da thunk another "aliens living on earth" show would could amount to way better than a copy-cat or cliche type of show... but they did it! Of course the good ones get cancelled if they aren't lucky enough to be in a perfect time slot, and not up against another popular big hit. (: <---sad face
- CreatorTommy WiseauStarsTommy WiseauAndrew BuckleyJenitza MunozA sitcom about the relationships between a group of people who live in the same apartment building.WTF? What is this? I posted it here ONLY to point out to fans of the (original) tv series (directly above on this list of mine), that someone apparently wasn't creative enough to think up a name for their new series - funny I haven't seen it air on tv yet- maybe there was a little problem with the unoriginal name... A DIRECT RIPOFF OBVIOUSLY ~
