I'm back again, and this time a follow up to a previous post of mine, Top 5 Favorite Movies. The other day, I decided, 'hey, why not do one for TV shows I watch?' Now, this could prove challenging as I watch a lot of television, and I usually don't like playing favorites, but, hey-hoh, let's give this a shot.
5. Star Wars: The Clone Wars
I found out about Clone Wars as a series after I received the movie as a Christmas present from my grandparents, and on the DVD was a trailer for the series. Later, whenever I was at my grandparents at the right time, I'd watch the show with my Papa (we both actually like Jar-Jar), and I quickly came to like Clone Wars, and I'd watch it when I could, though I haven't seen every single episode of the series, it's one of my favorite shows and I love it. My favorite characters from the show are Ahsoka, Ventress and Rex. I was mad that they cancelled it-and still am-but it's still one of the best cartoons out there.
4. Mythbusters
I've watched this show for....well, a really long time. Since I was a little kid, really. Anyway, it's a great show, I watch it non-stop, and it's great for learning. (Really, I learned Newton's Laws Of Motion from this show), it's a great show-even if they kill Buster every episode (crash-test dummy for those who don't know who Buster is). The show has plenty of explosives and guns and all that, and plenty of science in it as well. One of my favorite shows. Awesome.
3. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Of course I had to add this to the list; why? Because Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is one of my favorite shows (even if I nearly forgot to add it to this list, heh). I counted down the days till the show would premiere, and I've been watching ever since. The show's great, and I like everyone on the team, and I love that they're all a family-not by blood, but still-but my favorite characters are Coulson, Skye and Fitzsimmons (though Fitzsimmons are beginning to be my main favorite characters of the series). The show has plenty of mystery in it, and used to be mostly humor, but nowadays it more drama than comedy, though it does still retain it's humor. One of my favorite shows, and I've come to love it nearly as much as the two other shows ahead of it.
2. Castle
Castle is one of my favorite shows. I started watching back when it was in it's second season, and I started watching it one night with my grandparents. I watched the second episode of the second season with them, and thought that it was a good episode. Later, I went back and started watching it with them full time. Later, I managed to get my mom to watch it, then one day we bought the first season, and I put it on, and then my Dad got hooked, then we bought season two, and then...well, you get the point. Anyway, Castle is one of my favorite crime/mystery shows, though it's not a drama show, it has a lot of humor, though some episode have more drama in them than others. The show contains one of my favorite relationships on TV (ship, whatever you want to call it), and that would be Castle and Beckett (or Caskett), but it's a great show, all the characters are lovable, and there's very few characters that I don't like.
1. Doctor Who
What else could be at number one besides my all-time favorite show, the show that I owe my name to, that show in question is Doctor Who. I'd try to state the whole 'how I came to watch the show' thing, but I've already said that, so, there we go. It's one of my favorite shows, I watch it non-stop (I do mean non-stop), and I quote lines from the show non-stop. Doctor Who is a science fiction show, and is 50 years old (51 this November). It was brought back in 2005 after being off for at least a decade or better.
Notes:
Alright, so I've done TV, I've done Movie, now I'm thinking of a Top Five Shows That Shouldn't Have Been Cancelled List', whadda think?

Somehow I remember reading this a while back, but never commented on it. Sorry about that. Anyway, great list! Doctor Who is definitely my number one pick as well. No other show is even close for me. It has been my favorite for several years, and I do not see that changing.
ReplyDeleteThe Clone Wars is one of my favorite series, and it makes my Top 5 as well. While it did start a little slow, it such a great series, and I know that it has influenced many newcomers to join the Star Wars fandom, or renew their interest in the franchise. Since I have always been a Star Wars fanatic, I was counting the days until the premiere of the series.
Mythbusters, as you know, is also one of my favorites. It is such a fun show, and I am glad that I have watched it since the beginning.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is continuing to get better with each episode, and I have to say that it is already one of my favorites. I can't wait for tonight's episode!
Castle is a series that I need to get around to watching sometime. I am a big Nathan Fillion fan, so I am sure that I would enjoy it.

(I forgot to add Gilmore Girls to this list...oh well)
DeleteOh, it's fine. Thanks! Yeah, it was a no-brainer for me, I watch DW nonstop (which could be obvious, given that I talk about it nonstop, and there's a fez on the logo), it's just one of those shows you can't help but love.
I didn't know there was a TV show until I saw a trailer for it on the DVD of the movie they made, and I just watched it here and there when I could, and I've missed a lot of episodes. Clone Wars introduced me to my all-time favorite Star Wars character, which is Ahsoka, and it also introduced me to my favorite Clone of all time: Rex. So, yeah, it's a great show, and it's a shame that they cancelled it.
I...oh, I don't know how long it's been since I've watched Mythbusters. I've been in and out of the show through the years, but it's one of my favorite shows. I learned Newton's Laws from the show, to be honest.
I know, right? I don't see why people hate AOS, it's awesome, and It's become one of my favorite series, next to DW and Castle.
Well, I hope you get to try it sometime. It's filled with geeky references, it's got plenty of humor, and it's got a great cast, and great characters. It's easily my second favorite show ever. (it does tie in with DW on number one though).
