Burn Notice - same as above

Battlestar Galactica - Intricate, intelligent, relevant

Chuck - unbelievable, yet believable (sorta)

Scrubs - need I say more?

Lost - if it ends on a strong note it just might push Firefly out of my #1 spot

Battlestar Galactica - gritty, bleak and uncompromising look at humanity near extinction. No humor but everything else.

Pushing Daisies - unabashedly romantic, but never trite, and the most colorful television show I've ever seen.

Chuck - pure fun, nerd to the rescue, Adam Baldwin is a hoot, and Yvonne is gorgeously hot.

Dollhouse - just because it's Joss (and it's his birthday).

I enjoy Medium.

They keep the show fresh with different plot lines. Allison Dubois is never sure where if her dreams and visions are leading her. She was never given a set of instructions and this allows for a lot of twists in the story line.

In the more recent seasons her daughters have been experincing their own powers. So the show keeps going through changes. This keeps the show fresh.

The characters are more then their powers. This family has the same everyday problems that we all share. This makes them more real.

They only thing I thought was strange was how long it took the husband to stop asking what is wrong every time Allison would wake up in the middle of the night. But he is supportive and trys to help Allison with any problem her powers are causing.

The Shield - it consistently pushes the medium of television well beyond... teevee.

Pushing daisies- their use of color to tell the story is mindboggling and makes me as an artist giddy to see, and it manages to be soo incredibly cheery and fun when it could be incredibly morbid. Its sweet, and just a fun ride. and I love quirky shows. Also, i want Chucks wardrobe, and olives too. its such an incredible world they have created and somehow suspended disbelief.

Sarah Connor Chronicles- I was never a fan of the whole terminator franchise, just wasnt my cup of tea, but I love the depth of the characters, and the special effects, and plotline thus far. I really wondered how they would pull off petite delicate Summer Glau as a tincan, and am really impressed so far, and she is an incredible actress.

Chuck- again a fun ride, incredibly geeky and tongue in cheek humor, love it, and Adam Baldwin Rocks. Oh yes and Christina Hendricks will be guest starring, how much better can you get?

My name is Earl- I have a weakness for redneck humor, and i love the way the storyline continues, in some ways is just as quirky as other shows i love.

Scrubs- hmm sensing a trend here? I love my escapism, its fun its quirky, and occassionally its a musical. Very clever show, and excellent cast chemistry.

Heroes- eh this one over the past season has slipped for me, I expected soo much after season 1 i found season 2 to be a bit of a let down, season 1 had such momentum...

The first three on the list I try hard not to miss an episode, and I will be buying the box sets for them. the others I enjoy, but not as much

Also, I would like to take this chance to lament the following recently cancelled shows, Raines, New Amsterdam, and Men in trees, of those three, I miss Raines the most, fun quirky, and not your average detective show.

Not in any order:

LOST - I like that it doesn't give the answers to easily, I want them in the last season.

BSG - Okay, I know a lot of people hate that it's humourless and seems to have lost direction but it still beats the pants of most other shows out there.

Sarah Connor Chronicles - Takes a couple of episodes to find it's stride but when it does it's great. Plus Summer is the 'icing on the cake'.

Doctor Who - As a life long fan since Tom Baker this show just can't go wrong for me. Even Absorboloff episode had it's moments. As for the good ones I'll just mention Blink. This is to Doctor Who what Hush was for Buffy.

SG Atlantis - The best formulaic TV out there. Everything a show needs, humour, action, romance, humour, chemistry, suspense, humour, writing. All topped off with a healthy dose of humour.

Heroes - Who doesn't want to have superpowers? Normal people with extraordinary gifts. If they can only keep it going.

My Name Is Earl - Yeah, I have a soft spot for this show too. Have many shows can survive the lead character being in jail for half a season and then in a coma for a good portion of the rest. Randy is a true genius comic creation, but the whole ensemble makes the show.

I may add Burn Notice but I haven't seen it yet.

Mine have all been listed except for

Boston Legal: the smartest, funniest show on American television, in my opinion.

Denny Crane!
