In order, here is my Top 6 show list:
1. Farscape: Best Show Ever. I am not kidding either. Wonderful, angsty, clever characters, OTP to end all OTPs, complicated twisted plots, and really tight plotting and writing. Not to mention all the arcs get resolved. Perfection. I cried, I laughed, I screamed, I participated in the fan campaign.
2. Firefly: Short-lived, but what does it matter when it has 14 amazing episodes plus the best movie of 2005 to its credit? It's snarky, heart-breaking, and wildly creative. Plus, Mal Reynolds is my TV boyfriend.
3. Veronica Mars: I thought, a teen detective? Blech. Boy was I wrong. This is hilarious and deeply sad at once. Not to mention witty and complex and slowly developing characters I am madly in love with. Veronica is tough and shattered and funny and deeply insecure and insanely smart. And Logan is my newest TV crush, what with the snark and the vulnerability.
4. Futurama: I have never seen anything so funny and cynical and creative. Watch it. It's all on DVD.
5. Battlestar Galactica: I am not emotionally attached to the show, but what an intellectual pleasure it is. I like a show that takes no prisoners.
6. Roswell: All the lovely Max/Liz romance turns me into a giddy teen again. It really does get the madly in love feeling right.
Honorable Mention: Buffy: The first three seasons of Buffy were some of the best TV anywhere and would have competed with Farscape for Number 1 space. 4 and 5 weren't as good but had their moments. The last good episode was S6's "Tabula Rasa." Unfortunately the corpse lasted for another 2 years. So only "honorable" mention for Buffy.
Guilty, trashy pleasure: One Tree Hill: It's totally bad. Wooden acting, cliched storylines, too much basketball. But I can't resist the soap and the hot guys.
What are yours?
