This is mildly embarrassing, but I don't really watch television. My T.V. is always being taken up by video games or movies. I'm a movie kind of gal for sure. But I do watch an unhealthy amount of anime. >_> Yep. I'm one of "those".

Alias Smith & Jones
It doesn't broadcast anymore. It was a Old West show from 1971-73. I've seen in as replays on a Vintage Channel. The death o one of the show's stars, Pet Duel, as well as the decreasing interest for Wild West stories caused it to get ended. There's still an active fandom and some are doing "Virtual Seasons" as a continuation on the show.
CSI
It's still broadcasting and getting filmed. Greg Sanders is my fav character. I have tried to roleplay as him but there isn't enough interest sadly. I think it was a bit sad that he who played Gilbert Grissom didn't continue.
NCIS: Los Angeles
I recently discovered this series by a tip from a fellow NCIS roleplayer. It's a really fast paced and fun series. They're still broadcasting and filming (I think).
Charmed
It went on for 8 season, between 1998-2006 I think, before it was canceled. The series is about three sisters Prue, Piper, Phoebe. They're the Charmed Ones and they're fighting demons, warlocks, vampires, werewolves and even the Source of all Evil himself as they try to balance a normal life. The one who played Prue quit and was replaced by a new girl who continued to play as their half sister Paige. Honestly, I think Prue was better.
Friends
Was going on for 10 seasons! I'm sure you're familiar with it, no? It's about the 6 friends Joey, Chandler, Ross, Rachel, Phoebe and Monica and their daily life with love and work. I have done some roleplay in this fandom but we haven't got a full ensemble.
Blue Bloods
It's a fairly new series about a family of New York cops. I've only seen half of season 1 because the channel that aired it took a break in the middle of it all. I grew tired of waiting. Now they're going to air it again... let's hope it's season 1 and not 2!
Will & Grace
This is a classic comedy TV-show about Grace and her gay best friend Will. It's a finished series I think.
Midsomer Murders
Chief detective Tom Barnaby of Causton C... something is solving murders in the Midsomer county. Did you now that Midsomer if you take all the murders that has happened there it's, as a fictional county, the place with most murders in the world? The western world perhaps... I can't remember what I read correctly. Anyway the dead account of murder is rather high there.
Missing
Canceled show. It's about the Missing Persons Unit of FBI. They try to find missing people. It was a great TV-show! I've seen every episode of it when it was aired!
Beverly Hills 90102
This is an old one... Guess you're familiar with it? It kept running for quite some time and in the end only Presley, he who played Brandon, was the only one left of the original crew. They have done a re-warp of it that I think is still being filmed.
NCIS
Naval Criminal Investigating Services. Special Agent Jethro Gibbs and his team solve murder, espionage, drug related crimes and terrorism inside or against the Navy of USA. It's a good show.
Star Trek: Voyager
Canceled show, 8 seasons. This show is about the Federation starship Voyager, it's captain Katheryn Janeway and it's crew as they find their way through the Delta quadrant to which they were transported. A very grabbing tale and characters.
Andromeda
Another sci-fi story. This one is canceled too. I have seen the first few seasons and some episodes from the later. This TV-show is about the starship Andromeda Ascendant. The ship is high-tech with an AI and androids. There's a bit of magic too in the form of Trance who's a Avatar of a sun. Captain Dylan Hunt tries to rebuild the Commonwealth, which was a big organization that got destroyed 300 years ago (He was stuck in time for that time). The mechanic Harper and the android avatar of the Andromeda AI. Rommie. are my fav characters.
Some cartoons/animie I've seen through the years and enjoyed:
Sailor Moon
W.I.T.C.H
Totally Spies
Phineas and Ferb
Death Note
Full Mental Alchemist
Pokémon
Digimon
Looney Tunes
A couple more:
Paradise Falls
King of Queens
According to Jim
How I Met Your Mother
That 70's Show
That so Raven
Dwah!
Forgot about That 70s Show! Meh! Kelso makes anything funny...
I'm actually with you on that one... xD And I love you forever for being a watcher of Steins;GateQuote:

Soul Eater
Other than that if I do watch TV it's all kid shows because of my little brother ^.^'
Is it sad that I'd have to sit down at home to properly answer this question? xD; I tend to watch things for awhile and be very enthusiastic about the show until something interrupts my routine or I watch too much at once and get burned out and don't want to continue the effort of following it. >>;
It's actually funny, I had no idea about it until the beginning of this month where a fellow anime obsessed friend showed me the first episode. I was instantly wrapped up in it. You also have pretty great taste yourself I see. ^_^Quote:

The Cap 2 crossover episode was pretty amazing. Not to mention the opening to it was just classic.
Farscape
- 19 March 1999 – 21 March 2003
- 4 Seasons 88 Episodes + 1 Miniseries / long movie (Farscape: Peacekeeper Wars)
- Farscape features a diverse ensemble of characters who are initially escaping from corrupt authorities in the form of a militaristic organisation called the Peacekeepers. The protagonists live inside a large bio-mechanical ship called Moya, which is a living entity. In the first episode, they are joined by the main character, John Crichton (Ben Browder), a modern-day American astronaut who accidentally flew into the entrance of a wormhole near Earth during an experimental space flight. On the same day, another stranger is picked up by Moya: a stranded Peacekeeper named Aeryn Sun (Claudia Black). Despite his best intentions, John does make a few major enemies; the primary of these is known as Scorpius. There are a few stand-alone plots, but the show gradually unfolds progressive arcs beginning with their recapture by the Peacekeepers, followed by John’s search to find another wormhole back to Earth, and an eventual arms race for weaponized wormhole technology. Secondary arcs explore the way in which the characters change due to their influences and adventures together, most notably John over his obsession with wormhole technology, his relationship with Aeryn and the neural clone of Scorpius that haunts him in his brain.
Stargate SG1

- 10 Seasons 214 Episodes
- The story of Stargate SG-1 begins about a year after the events of the feature film, when the United States government learns that an ancient alien device called the Stargate can access a network of such devices on a multitude of planets.

- 14 Episodes
- Five 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.
Almost Human
- November 17, 2013 – March 3, 2014
- 1 Season 13 Episodes
- In 2048, the uncontrollable evolution of science and technology has caused crime rates to rise an astounding 400%. To combat this, the overwhelmed police force has implemented a new policy: every human police officer is paired with a lifelike combat-model android.
John Kennex (Karl Urban), a troubled detective, has a reason to hate these new robot partners. Almost two years previously, Kennex and his squad were raiding the hideout of a violent gang known as the Insyndicate, but ended up being ambushed and outgunned. Kennex tried to save his badly injured partner, but the accompanying logic-based android officer abandoned them both because the wounded man's chances of survival were low and it wouldn't have been "logical" to save him. An explosion then took off Kennex's leg and killed his partner.
After waking up from a 17-month coma, Kennex has to deal with a cybernetic prosthetic leg and huge gaps in his memory, which he tries to recover through visits to a black market memory-recovery doctor called a Recollectionist, in the city slums. Besides trying to remember as much as he can about the raid and the Insyndicate, he is also coming to terms with being abandoned by his girlfriend Anna.
Kennex is then recalled to the force by Captain Sandra Maldonado (Lili Taylor), and partnered with a standard-issue MX-43 android, which he soon throws from a moving vehicle, when it threatens to report his unusual behavior. He is assigned a replacement android, an older DRN model originally decommissioned for police work and about to be transferred to the Space Station.[2] Created to be as close to human as possible, the DRN androids have trouble dealing with some of their own emotional responses, which was the reason they were replaced by the logic-based MX units. Kennex's unit, known as Dorian (Michael Ealy), immediately proves himself unique, with a clear dislike of being referred to as a "synthetic", and a dry, friendly sarcasm-oriented wit. Key to the story arc is the growth and development of Kennex and Dorian's relationship.
Paradise Kiss

- 12 Episodes
- Yukari is a typical high-school student who listens to her parents and attends school everyday.

Initially, Yukari is reluctant to be associated with this seemingly eccentric group, but eventually she realizes they are really nice people. Furthermore, their passion and enthusiasm to follow their ideals and dreams make Yukari realize that she has not been enjoying her life and thus motivates her to pursue her own dreams. The story follows Yukari as she gets involved in the group and eventually falls in love with the leader, George.

However, unknown to Albert, his father had once framed the count and took the Count's fiancée as his own.
Gravity Falls is awesome. So sad I finished up the first season. Can't wait for the second!
Also, super excited that the Legend of Korra is coming back! :D
Firefly. Omg this show is awesome.
From Dusk Till Dawn! I want season two to come out already because ten episodes of the Gecko Brothers shooting people (and snake people) up just isn't enough )x
For all those interested, you can catch it on Netflix or the El Rey channel
1. Psych
2. Psych
3. Psych
4. Psych
5. Psych
But final season was kind of a disappointment.
There's a lot of series that I watch and enjoy, but there are no series that I love nearly as much as Psych.
6. Brooklyn 99
7. Brooklyn 99
8. Brooklyn 99
9. Brooklyn 99
It's my current favorite series. It's so hilarious. I am on the edge of my seat, waiting for season 2.
10. Modern Family
11. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (still haven't managed to watch the latest season)
12. Parks and Rec
13. Scrubs (excluding season 9... haha)
14. Better Off Ted

16. Enlisted
Yeah, I tend to like my comedy shows. Like, a lot.
17. The Blacklist
18. Criminal Minds (particularly when Mandy Patinkin was still on it)
19. Life
I also watch a lot of procedurals, but these are just my current favorites. They're in no particular order, but they were the ones to immediately come to mind when making this list.
20. White Collar
21. Suits
For these last two, I really, really enjoyed their earlier seasons (1-3 for WC, 1-2 for Suits), but my interest fizzled out. I might pick up the series again, but it won't be for a while.

The programme is currently presented by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, and has featured at least three different test drivers known as The Stig. The programme is estimated to have around 350 million views per week in 170 different countries.
This is the only motor vehicle show I legitimately watch on my own, not just because my Dad happens to have it on TV when I come upstairs. I also legit enjoy the show, mostly the specials and the really random funny episodes.
Bob's Burgers
- 09 January 2011 — Present
- 4 Seasons 67 Episodes
- The show centers on the Belcher family, who run a hamburger restaurant on Ocean Avenue in an unnamed seaside community (informally known as "Seymour's Bay" among the show's writing staff).[8] Series creator Loren Bouchard commented in a 2012 interview that the show's location was an indeterminate Northeastern United States shore town.[9] Entertainment writers have later described the show as being set in New Jersey, citing the season three episode "It Snakes a Village".[10] The restaurant is located in a two floor building sandwiched between a funeral home and a building where tenants come and go on a regular basis, and the Belcher family lives in the apartment directly above the restaurant. Bob's Burgers is a struggling restaurant situated on a commercial street that relies heavily on traffic from the local amusement park, Wonder Wharf, which is located on a pier at the end of Ocean Avenue and owned by Calvin Fischoeder, an eccentric millionaire who also owns many buildings in the town, including the one where Bob's Burgers and the Belchers' home is located.
Success is not easy, as Bob must compete with several other eateries for business. His biggest rival is Jimmy Pesto's Pizzeria, the owner of which Bob particularly dislikes. Bob's restaurant also has seen its fair share of bad luck. For example, in the show's open, Bob's Burgers falls victim to a fire, an infestation of vermin, and a utility pole that falls over and crashes into the building. In spite of all this, Bob does have a loyal but small group of regular customers including Mort, the owner of the funeral home, and Teddy Francisco, the local handyman.
