YAY! You hit the jump! Celebrate! (click play): FIRST THING'S FIRST: These picks are solely my personal opinion of my favorite TV shows of the ones I've seen, and I am not saying these are the best series ever made, or the best ones I have seen; I am not stating them as fact or based on popular opinion... Basically: The views expressed in this Top Ten List are those of the sole individual(s) writing it and do not reflect the views of ComicBookMovie or any other person reading this blah blah blah you've read this before. "Saint, why do you always put these little 'disclaimers' at the beginning of your articles?" Cause I know how y'all tards like to get bent outta shape for such crap. Got it? Good. Let's get it on: 10. Knight Rider As with Back to The Future, this is one of those things I remember watching reruns of since I was a wee little kid (something like 2 years old). Not much I think I can say about this one. I mean, you either like it or hate it. Cool car, cool action, cool stories, cool theme song, cool everything... Might need to do a series rewatch soon. Yeah it's an '80s show, yeah it can be cheesey at times, but who cares? Cheese is good sometimes. Too much dark and too much seriousness just gets... old. 9. Legend of the Seeker I remember when this series first came out, it looked cool and interesting... didn't know it was another Raimi & co. project. Obviously now, it's clear to see. I've always been a fan of Raimi projects, like Xena and Hercules (shows I also used to watch as a little one). This one was a little different. Yeah, it had the same medieval times like setting, but the tone was different. In retrospect, Hercules and Xena were FULL of cheese. Seeker has a lighthearted tone still, but it's not as Three-Stooges-ey. I enjoy this series immensely, the storylines, action, comedy, actors, all great... I was so disappointed to see that it was canceled. Plus another reason it ain't bad to watch is cause Kahlan's super hot. Those eyes of her's, mmmmm.... 8. The Vampire Diaries When this show first came out, I was against it. TOTALLY against it. Those [frick]ing gay-ass Twilight shit movies were just coming out and so everyone was interested in vampires again. But not normal vampires, they were interested in those queerbait ones. So I figured this show would be just more of that shit... but I was wrong. Yeah, it's mushy, yeah it's a lot of romantic stuff, but it's not *just* that. Hell, Buffy was mushy and romantic sometimes, but it still was kick ass most of the time. Same with Vampire Diaries. Especially Damon and Alaric, those two are the most BADASS characters of the show... 7. Supernatural So, I started watching this show since it first aired back on September 13th, 2005. You know, the whole 'brothers going on a mission to find their dad and kill monsters' appealed to me. Especially the 'brothers' aspect of it, I always thought it'd be cool huntin monsters and stuff with my brother. I felt a big connection to the show... Over the years, the state of the show has declined in my opinion... it went from hunting a new monster every week to every other week to once in a while and now to it's just all about demons. I will admit, I haven't seen the last half of the past season, but I haven't seen the last half season's of ANY shows lately (need to catch up on those). So while Supernatural has been on a decline, it's still one of my faves (as of now). 6. Castle I've been a BIG Nathan Fillion fan since I caught his work on Firefly and Serenity. Of course when I heard he was gonna star in Castle, I was immediately on board. I didn't know what I was in for (apart from Fillion greatness), but I was pleasantly surprised. It's not "just another" cop drama. It's witty, funny, clever, and you know, it's got hot chicks on it sometimes. If you a big fan of Firefly/Serenity, you will catch many of the references they pull in the show. Some are obvious, some are hidden, but they are all fulfilling. Fillion is awesome as always, Stana Katic's cool and plays her part well. The dudes who play the other detectives are funny and great, Molly Quinn is freaking beautiful, and even though the past season hasn't been so great, I still love Castle. Okay, these next five are in no particular order because I can't decide which places they belong in... Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Okay, I'm a really big fan of the story James Cameron set up in T1 and T2. It just really connects with me. The idea that a computer system could become self-aware and decide to throw humanity for a loop isn't that far fetched if you think about it, the way technology is advancing nowadays. After the abomination to the mythos that was T3, I was hoping Sarah Connor Chronicles would be it's saving grace... and to me, it was. I know a lot of people don't like this show, but to combat that, a lot of people also DID like it, like me. T:SCC repaired the damage T3 did to the story and did what T3 couldn't: continued on without [frick]ing the story over. I was heartbroken when I read it was cancelled, it crushed me. It was so great (to me, shut up) and to be canceled so early in it's life... but, I digress. Actors were great, stories were great, action was great, CGI was lacking a bit, but they were working on a small budget so it's understandable... Music was spine-tingling, and Summer Glau's performance was absolutely outstanding. I love the show, one of my absolute faves and I'll always hold a place for it in my heart. Sherlock (BBC) Brilliance. Sheer Brilliance. I'm not so sure how to describe this show in many detailed words other than it blows my mind in every episode. There are weak episodes, I felt that "The Blind Banker" and "The Hound of Baskerville" were quite, er, boring. I mean, they were brilliant cases by the end, but still boring to sit through. "A Scandal in Belgravia" and "The Reichenbach Fall" literally BLEW MY MIND! =-o I don't know how to describe them properly... But seriously, if you haven't seen Sherlock already, do so NOW! Shut off this shit article, and go watch it! GO! Smallville I can't say I have been watching this since it started, but I have been watching it since the start of season 2 (and caught repeats of season 1).SO yeah, I've been watching Smallville for half my life already. Can't believe 10 years (goin on 11 now) has already passed since it started... Anyway, anyone who knows me knows that I do not like Superman much. I just can't get into the character. But something about Smallville connected with me. Maybe it's because they made Clark more human, more relatable... or maybe because they made him not Superman. I don't know... Point is, I liked the show. Even when it started getting shitty, I liked it. I mean, with all the retcons, the inconsistencies, storyline flaws... It just declined in quality after season 3. Season 4 was THE WORST. It seems as if they ran out of usefulness Lana's character, so they decided to turn her into a reincarnated half-Kryptonian witch and it was just.... awful, just awful. The season 8 finale was a [frick]ing cop-out, and the series finale literally SHAT all over the fans. Now, it may seem like those are reasons to hate the show, and they are... but I love it regardless. So, moving on... Firefly Genius. Sheer genius. Great cast, great writing, impressive visuals, just, enchanting charm that keeps you coming back. That show would not have worked if not one of the people working on it was a different person. It was a miracle. Perfect harmony... Who knows how much more great it would have been if that [frick]tards at Fox had let it continue. I'm sure we'd still be watching and talking about it's currently airing episodes here on CBM today if Fox hadn't [frick]ed it up. Anyway, Joss gave us a great gift and it was yanked away from ALL of us (all those involved in making Firefly included). Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Angel Yeah, I know that this makes it technically a "Top Six" with the inclusion of Angel, but there's no way I could put either Buffy or Angel on top of the other... cause if I did, Angel'd lose his soul. ;-) Okay, well, I've been watching Buffy since I was about 4 years old... It's left quite quite an impact on me as you may imagine. In fact, I'm watching it right now. Season 6 episode 8 "Tabula Rasa". I love these shows because they're... AWESOME! Lol, idk what else to say about em. Angel's a badass, Buffy's a badass, Spike's a badass, Wesley... became a badass (lol). Giles is cool, Willow's awesome, Dawn's hot, Oz is a boss... Stories are wicked cool, music can be emotionally impacting, really funny jokes and gags sometimes... Not to mention the number of Avengers references I've caught on my recent rewatch. lol. Obviously, you gotta watch Buffy and Angel to judge for yourself, but in my opinion, they're both [frick]ing badass awesomesauceness shows. Honorable mentions: NCIS Burn Notice Batman Beyond The Spectacular Spider-Man Star Trek: The Next Generaton Star Trek: Voyager Instant Star (but, Instant Star's only on here cause the chicks are hot...) I expect y'alls comments to be filled criticism and hate for my opinion, which is cool, I don't mind... I won't get all wild and delete your comments or nothin. But, before I end the article, I'd like to get your opinion on something. So, I made a poll to tally up the popular opinion.
