- CreatorGlen A. LarsonRonald D. 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.My all-time favorite show. If I were stuck on an island and could only ever watch one show, this would be my choice.
- StarsScott GrimesDamian LewisRon LivingstonThe story of Easy Company of the U.S. Army 101st Airborne Division and their mission in World War II Europe, from Operation Overlord to V-J Day.The best TV series ever made. Period.
- CreatorMichael BravermanStarsKellie MartinChris BurkePatti LuPoneA modern All-American family deals with the struggles of life and love in mid-western suburbia.For me, the best family show ever made, and it's sad that it's not available anywhere! (Only Season 1 on DVD). One of the first shows to showcase a Downs man as well as a man who is HIV+.
- CreatorHaro AsoStarsKento YamazakiTao TsuchiyaNijirô MurakamiObsessed gamer Arisu suddenly finds himself in a strange, emptied-out version of Tokyo in which he and his friends must compete in dangerous games in order to survive.An absolutely beautiful and horrific allegory about Life itself! Easily one of the best series I've ever seen!
- CreatorMichael HirstStarsJonathan Rhys MeyersHenry CavillAnthony BrophyEpic series reveals the scandalous life of a young king whose affairs and obsession with producing a male heir changed marriage, the church, and the world.Never get tired of this show about King Henry VIII!
- CreatorA.I. BezzeridesLouis F. EdelmanStarsRichard LongPeter BreckLee MajorsThe Wild West adventures of the Barkley family in California's San Joaquin Valley.My all-time favorite western with my all-time favorite cowboy (movies or shows) in Nick Barkley!
- CreatorGlen A. LarsonStarsLorne GreeneRichard HatchDirk BenedictAfter the destruction of the Twelve Colonies of Mankind, the last major fighter carrier leads a makeshift fugitive fleet on a desperate search for the legendary planet Earth.Was obsessed with this show as a kid--thanks to Star Wars--and even though it's not nearly as good as the remake, I still love it!
- CreatorGene RoddenberryStarsWilliam ShatnerLeonard NimoyDeForest KelleyIn the 23rd Century, Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise explore the galaxy and defend the United Federation of Planets.Overall, it's not as good as STNG, but it's the original with my favorite ST character in Mr. Spock. And given how good this show was with limited budgets and 60s special effects, it makes you appreciate the series even more!
- CreatorGreg DanielsRicky GervaisStephen MerchantStarsSteve CarellJenna FischerJohn KrasinskiA mockumentary on a group of typical office workers, where the workday consists of ego clashes, inappropriate behavior, tedium and romance.My all-time favorite comedy show! What puts it over the top for me, compared to other comedy shows, is that it has heart.
- StarsLee Jae-wookHwang Min-hyunYoo Joon-sangSet in a fictional country called Daeho, it is about the love and growth of young mages as they overcome their twisted fates due to a forbidden magic spell known as the "alchemy of souls", which allows souls to switch bodies.Best fantasy series ever made for television and second only to Lord of the Rings overall.
- StarsSong Joong-kiSong Hye-kyoJin GooThis drama tells of the love story that develops between a surgeon and a special forces officer.My first foray into Korean Dramas! And I've already watched this series four times! Love it!
- CreatorJoss WhedonStarsSarah Michelle GellarNicholas BrendonAlyson HanniganA young woman, destined to slay vampires, demons and other infernal creatures, deals with her life fighting evil, with the help of her friends.When it comes to a strong female character who kicks butt, this show is a can't miss. And it also has one of the best finales of any show in history.
- StarsKatsuji MoriIsao SasakiKazuko SugiyamaA team of bird-themed superhero ninjas battle the menace of Galactor, a technologically advanced international terrorist organization determined to conquer the world.Best animated series ever made, in my opinion. I grew up with the Americanized, "Battle of the Planets." The original series still holds up today!
- CreatorDonald P. BellisarioGlen A. LarsonStarsTom SelleckJohn HillermanRoger E. MosleyThe adventures of a Hawaii-based private investigator.My all-time favorite detective series. Who wouldn't want to live on an estate and drive the best car ever made? Magnum had charm with one of the best supporting casts!
- CreatorDanny ArnoldTheodore J. FlickerStarsHal LindenAbe VigodaMax GailThe Captain of the NYPD 12th Precinct and his staff handle the various local troubles and characters that come into the squad room.Came into this series only a few years ago, but I can see why so many people love it!
- CreatorRobert CochranJoel SurnowStarsKiefer SutherlandMary Lynn RajskubCarlos BernardCounter Terrorism Agent Jack Bauer races against the clock to subvert terrorist plots and save his nation from ultimate disaster.Still the best edge-of-your-seat series I've ever seen.
- CreatorEric Ellis OvermyerStarsTitus WelliverJamie HectorAmy AquinoAn L.A.P.D. homicide detective works to solve the murder of a 13-year-old boy while standing trial in federal court for the murder of a serial killer.Not since Christopher Reeve's Superman has anyone so perfectly embodied a character from the literary one. Just as Christopher Reeve WAS Superman, Titus Welliver IS Harry Bosch. A no-nonsense detective who cares more about justice than rules, regulations, and absurd bureaucracy
- CreatorDonald P. BellisarioStarsJan-Michael VincentAlex CordErnest BorgnineAs part of a deal with an intelligence agency to look for his missing brother, a renegade pilot goes on missions with an advanced battle helicopter.Of all the "super vehicles" of the 80s, this one was by far my favorite! One of the best theme songs of all-time.
- CreatorEric BlakeneyStephen J. CannellStarsRichard GriecoMarcia StrassmanCarmen ArgenzianoIn this "21 Jump Street" spin-off, a rebellious young cop becomes an insurance investigator for a multinational corporation.Dennis Booker was cooler than any other character from 21 Jump Street. Richard Grieco got more fanmail than any other character, including Johnny Depp. Booker brought coolness with a heart as well as a keen, investigative mind. A bad time slot (across from 60 Minutes) only gave us one season.
- CreatorMichael CrichtonStarsAnthony EdwardsGeorge ClooneyJulianna MarguliesThe doctors who work in the ER at the County General Hospital in Chicago grapple with ups and downs in their personal and professional lives while trying to give apt medical care to their patients.Favorite medical drama--and a drama that literally revolutionized how TV dramas were filmed. First six seasons are gold!
- CreatorSteven BochcoDavid MilchStarsDennis FranzJimmy SmitsGordon ClappDetectives from NYPD's 15th Precinct investigate homicides within their precinct.Andy Sipowicz is one of the most memorable characters in TV history, which is really saying something. Who else but Dennis Franz could make an opinionated, feisty bigot so loveable?
- CreatorBob KaneWilliam Moulton MarstonJoe ShusterStarsCarl LumblyPhil LaMarrMichael RosenbaumSeven of the most formidable heroes form arguably the most powerful team ever.Still the best comic book animated series! The only time (animated or live-action) that got Batman right! Thanks to Kevin Conroy.
- CreatorLorenzo Semple Jr.William DozierStarsAdam WestBurt WardAlan NapierThe Caped Crusader and his young ward battle evildoers in Gotham City.Campy? Yes. Funny? Absolutely! And yet, I still love this series to death! No other depiction got Batman's smarts down so well, aside from Kevin Conroy in the animated series.
- CreatorJulian FellowesStarsHugh BonnevillePhyllis LoganElizabeth McGovernA chronicle of the lives of the British aristocratic Crawley family and their servants in the early twentieth century.One of the best period shows I've ever seen. Absolutely fantastic series! Only Mr. Sunshine is better.
- CreatorDavid ShoreStarsHugh LaurieOmar EppsRobert Sean LeonardUsing a crack team of doctors and his wits, an antisocial maverick doctor specializing in diagnostic medicine does whatever it takes to solve puzzling cases that come his way.Of all the CSI-type shows, this one is hands down the best!
