I saw
shipperx do this, and thought it'd be fun.
EDITED TO ADD: This is my scripted show list. I'm gonna do one for reality shows too :D
Angel: - see what
shipperx said
here. I concur.
Big Love: I adore this show. I wish more people watched it. (GO, NOW, WATCH IT.) The acting is incredible, awesome, etc. It's never boring. The plots are byzantine, and could almost take place in any era of history, because, at heart, it's about humans, their fears, desires, fatal flaws, etc.
Doctor Who: It came back to me, all shiny and Britishy and made my heart go thump thump thump. Eccleston as Nine! Running! Daleks! (OK, an overabundance of daleks!) It introduced me to Tennant (Nine is still my fav but I ♥ Ten too). And now it'll take me into the next decade. I am a happy girl.
Glee: It's new yet, and could devolve (Notice that
The Office isn't on this list?), and it has issues. But oh, singing, dancing, in high school! Takes me back to my youth :D
Lost: LOST. Lost. It's whacked, cracked out crazy, it makes me grrr regularly, and yet I love every episode and wait for the WTF moment. I heart you, my cracked out show.
Medium: This is a dark horse show. I really like Patricia Arquette. Its plots can be predictible, but I keep watching, week after week, even on new network.
Rome: Oh, hai, talk to me, you crazy Romans of all social strata. All your angstyness, sexytiems, and historical innaccuracy. YUM
Torchwood: Though it keeps breaking my heart, I love it. Including Children of Earth.
True Blood: Cheesy? Yeah. Horrendous accents? Yeah. Fun? HELL. YES. And they really know how to do a cliffhanger.
The West Wing: Like
Angel, it started in the 90s, but majority of it was in the 2000s. What can I say about this show? It married my political geekiness into tv. It also did a life to art to life thing w/ the Obama/Santos parallels. It made me cry, laugh, yell. And it's still all spot-on.
