Favorite TV Shows
My most favorite TV Shows, in order (mostly), that were made over the years of my watching them. These TV Shows either had great potential, or had great plot, implementation, execution, or expectations/unseen expectations. Trust me when I say, there's a few missing, but I have to remember them.

- CreatorNick WautersStarsJason RitterSarah RoemerIan Anthony DaleWhen a man goes looking for his missing girlfriend, he stumbles upon a government conspiracy that is bigger than the President himself.This is one of those few shows that it got it 100% correct for the entire first season. Who does that? Geniuses do that! The first season is always the hardest to properly produce and continue off of because it is the ground basis and the liftoff of the show. This show successfully lifted off properly, but due to network miscommunications (America's biggest flaw) and lack of proper attention span of viewers led to the quick demise of this show. On Season 1, Episode 22 (the finale), it will have you wanting more, more, and more!!!
- CreatorJonathan GlassnerBrad WrightStarsRichard Dean AndersonMichael ShanksAmanda TappingA secret military team, SG-1, is formed to explore other planets through the recently discovered Stargates.This show had an extremely rough and vague start. If it had the competition that it has for nowadays Season Ones, then it would've lost. After the first 2, maybe even 3, seasons, it finally started getting really catchy. I then fell in love with the show, primarily because of Jack O'Neill (Macgyver, Richard Dean Anderson), because he's funny in so many ways! By Season 6, they had become a huge hit in the SciFi / Nerd community. The 10th Season was their last, but I felt that it was a perfectly executed ending. This is one of those rare shows that got a full 10 Seasons and wasn't a reality show!
- CreatorRobert C. CooperBrad WrightStarsJoe FlaniganRachel LuttrellDavid HewlettAn international team of scientists and military personnel discover a Stargate network in the Pegasus Galaxy and come face-to-face with a new, powerful enemy: The Wraith.SGA is the spin off series of SG1. It got 5 solid seasons, and had everything going perfectly right from the start to finish. Sure, SciFi fans nitpick, but we love to have something to nitpick! The Series Finale will keep you wanting more, but not on such a massive level, because they ended off in a peaceful manner that was suitable for most parties viewing it.
- CreatorRobert C. CooperBrad WrightStarsRobert CarlyleLouis FerreiraBrian J. SmithTrapped on an Ancient spaceship billions of light-years from home, a group of soldiers and civilians struggle to survive and find their way back to Earth.SGU is another spin off series of SG1, separate from SGA. It had a very clean start, but it gave viewers the constant feeling of fear, stress, and anxiety. Where this worked for Battlestar Galactica, it did not work for SGU as well as it should've. The first season was very good because they had a very good plot and execution, including the linking of each episode to the next. But by the last season (Season 2), they trailed off, drifted off, and got lost in themselves. At the end of Season 2, they finally caught back up with themselves and finished off clean and well executed. However, the finale kept you wondering... and wondering in a very bad way. Picture knowing that the survivors of the Titanic made it, but no one knew where they were. It's a bad feeling that just sinks into you, forever.
- CreatorJonathan NolanStarsJim CaviezelTaraji P. HensonKevin ChapmanAn ex-CIA agent and a wealthy programmer save lives via a surveillance AI that sends them the identities of civilians involved in impending crimes. However, the details of the crimes, including the civilians' roles, are left a mystery.Person of Interest is quite unique. In the beginning, it started out as giving people a purpose in life, but its gotten to the point that it's more than that. Now, it's about fighting to keep life and society as we know it intact. It's quite exhilarating and an awesome ride to be on!
- StarsPhilip WinchesterSullivan StapletonMichelle LukesFollows the actions of Section 20, a secretive unit of British military intelligence. A team of special operations personnel conduct several high risk missions across the globe.Sex, Drug Lords, Kingpins, and Rock Music! What more could you ask for? Other than Stonebridge and Scott (the main characters)! This show is like a fictional representation of real-life, but in a real way, with all of the violence, the sex, the mayhem, the drama, the trauma, the loss of friends, the making of enemies, the history of how enemies remember you and your country, etc. You never really know what might happen, and that keeps things interesting!
- CreatorAndrew W. MarloweStarsNathan FillionStana KaticSusan SullivanWhen a psychopath commits murders based on novelist Castle's books, Detective Beckett seeks his help to solve the case. He decides to work with her and uses his experiences as research for his novels.After Firefly, Nathan Fillion ended up taking on the persona of his character from Firefly (Mal) in real-life. He said: "Firefly has taught me everything that I know to be right and how to act as an actor." He then went on to create this show, with the character that he seems to naturally be: a funny guy who gets things done! So, if you liked Firefly, then you'll love Castle!
- CreatorJoss WhedonStarsNathan FillionGina TorresAlan TudykFive hundred years in the future, a renegade crew aboard a small spacecraft tries to survive as they travel the unknown parts of the galaxy and evade warring factions as well as authority agents out to get them.Ah, how good it feels to be part of the 65 million fans worldwide that follow the cult worshiping of how awesome Firefly was and still is! For a show that had a very low budget, they did a LOT right! If it wasn't for the dumbasses at Fox that decided to air it in the improper order (this is Joss Whedon (Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron) and Tim Minear (Angel, American Horror Story) here who wrote it), then the show would've been a huge hit! Sure, it didn't have insanely good graphics and CGI, but it did have awesome characters, a great story line, and filled with jokes and phrases that are still ringing in my head!

MooreStarsEdward James OlmosMary McDonnellJamie BamberWhen an old enemy, the Cylons, resurface and obliterate the 12 colonies, the crew of the aged Galactica protect a small civilian fleet - the last of humanity - as they journey toward the fabled 13th colony, Earth.

- CreatorTracy TorméRobert K. WeissStarsJerry O'ConnellSabrina LloydJohn Rhys-DaviesA boy genius and his comrades travel to different parallel universes, trying to find their way back home.Sliders is one of those unique TV Shows that answers and/or brings up questions that we've been asking ourselves for years now. Each episode is a new question/answer, and its almost always a "What if?" question. The fact that they were able to tie a story underneath all of these "Slides" to parallel worlds is quite amazing! Definitely a must see, again, and again!
