Heh! Weeds is always on my 'must watch' list every summer & Californication has the man-whore pro author drunken lush character that I wish I could be, so both of those shows get a big thumbs up from me

Reaper is also big fun about a guy who is a bounty hunter for Satan, & Jericho was about how America collapsed & fragmented following a nuclear holocaust.

Reaper - oh yes, his one is rather fun. Watched all of the first season, havent had time to watch any of the second though. Any series that lets kevin smith gust direct the first episode gets a win from me.

Jericho - Only seen a bit of this one. It seemed alright, the main character was kinda like a cross between mel gibson in... uhh.... that one post apocalyptic movie and macgyver.

Let's see, if you like jericho you'd probably like dark angel. It's not post apocalyptic, but things have definitely gone down hill, and Jessica Alba plays a sexy genetically engineered super soldier who escaped from a research facility and now helps this rich guy save the seattle from and oppressive governement. James Cameron was involved. Only ran 3 seasons I think, but good.

The other one I occasionally watch is Fringe. It's an FBI mystery drama about fringe science and this company that is doing all these fringe science practices for their own nefarious purposes. It's pretty basic and cliche but has a fun little comedy flair and the main scientist character is literally quite crazy. He was in an asylum for a long time, so it's kind of a fun and relative harmless show.

"Burn Notice" is a very fun show, and it isn't incredibly corny or anything. Pretty explosions, complex characters that can't be figured out entirely within 5 minutes and yet never do anything that doesn't seem like them, and some innovative ways to get the job done. The character interactions are nicely designed, too...

Speaking of character interactions... "Merlin" utterly fails in that department. Yes, they get the costumes to look pretty and they picked a cast that isn't too hard on the eyes, (and the CGI isn't too shabby either), but I hate all of the characters. They usually have exactly one trait that defines them, and seem to get a lot of lines just sort of handed to them without any thoughts to "character development"... not to mention how the timeline is screwy beyond words. Fun to watch the fighty bits, but turn the volume off when people are talking.

"In Plain Sight" is also quite enjoyable, the plots aren't that ridiculous and the characters seem like people that you might run into in your workplace. Not perfect, but not so "flawed" they resemble 90s-anti-heroes.

How can you hate something you've never seen? If you wanna hate it, watch an episode or 2 THEN you are free to hate it if you like.

I watched 5 minuites of it then turned the TV off.

Dark Angel I watched for about half a season in the beginning, but I ended up not liking it & gave up...but Fringe was one that I hated from the start & ended up loving as it went on. (So far, JJ Abrams has yet to fail...I even liked 'Cloverfield') Anyway, at first, Fringe reminded me of an updated X-Files do-over ::meh, I never "got" the X-Files:: but Walter the mad scientist kept me hangin' on till I started to understand it was a different type of show

Say, Speaking of JJ, Alias was a blast to watch when I began renting the box sets a few years back, about a young female CIA agent with killer legs that could kick your @$$

For you Merlin haters, yeah...that's cool. When I watched it about 5 months ago, I saw it for exactly what it was: A family-friendly contemperary action comedy that does not take itself seriously. I dug it for what it was & didn't expect anything more from it than what it was (I did say it was fluff after all)

Also in the puffy realm of fluffdom, Las Vegas was great dramedy centered around the staff of a casino.

To go opposite of that, Deadwood was the first thing I saw that made me appreciate the 'old west' genre. I effin' loved that show, but it ain't for kids.

I don't mean it's too violent or sexy or anything like that, cause to me nothing is too violent or sexy. I just mean that it takes alot of concentration & a gigantic vocabulary to follow it. All in all though, it was great & it paved the way for me getting into 'Firefly'

Jericho was great. Shame that it got canceled.

I miss watching Star Trek: Voyager on my old satellite box. I am not a Star Trek fan, but I loved the Voyager series. A decent storyline with some interesting characters, and a hell of a cast.

Scrapheap challenge is awesome, I watch it with my grandad now and again.

Finally, I deeply and truly miss the old TV Show, Robot Wars. The UK version was great in the early years, and then built up to mere slaughter with robotic creations. The creations and designs the public can come up with are ingenious and hilarious at the same time. In that tone, all hail Sir Killalot! Mean bugger he was.

Never seen The 4400 and sadly Reaper has been cancelled I think.

Some of my favs are:

Dexter, True Blood, Dollhouse, Bones, Criminal Minds, Breaking Bad (awesome), Fringe (for the sillyness), The Mentalist and The Unusuals.
