    Wow, massive article :-)

    I got to agree with Generation Kill and Breaking Bad. Both where awesome. I hope there is more Breaking Bad coming soon as I want to see where that story leads.

    The end of Boston Legal was heart warming.

    As much as Qdog likes it, Knight Rider is a piece of shit but I’ll admit it isn’t as bad as Flash Gordon thou.

    I am glad to see another fan of how I met your
    Mother. Thinking about the running gags in it my favourite is the ” psychic conversations” the characters sometimes have.

    Scott, Great read. Good to see someone else also keen on Chuck. It’s one of those shows that I happilly use my download limit on. I was disappointed to see Journeyman finish, but I also look forward to the return of Reaper.

    Bruce – Breaking Bad is coming back for a second season. Premieres Sunday March 8, 2009 on AMC channel the U.S. Very much looking forward to it.

    Knight Rider (and anyone who is watching it) is destroying as we know it.

    Shaded Spriter – My favorite was “The Slap”! They made that one last almost half a season!

    Anakin64 – Thank you! Really looking forward to Reaper. You should check out the webisodes for Chuck, they’re also pretty funny. And how nice is it that they try to write in a scene with Yvonne Strahovski (an Aussie!) in next to nothing every episode?!

    very happy with the number one spot for how I met your mother, great show but where is Dexter???????? I love that show!

      Excellent point Romain. Dexter is also the bomb and amazes me that each season that movie it to somewhere new and interesting.

    • Scott John Harrison Shaded Spriter says:

      Dexter this season didn’t interest me as much as previous years, I stopped at about episode 4 or 5, I have 4-9/5-10 DVRed and I couldn’t be bothered to actually watch them.

      I’ve heard Dexter is an excellent show.

      Unfortunately, I never made it absolutely clear that this list is made up from the TV shows that I have watched (that’s why the complete list is at the end of the article). Sadly, I have never seen an episode of Dexter.

      Yeah, yeah, I know, I know.

      I don’t have Showtime (the channel it plays on here), haven’t bought the box sets (too many other things on my list I want first), don’t have Netflix (still working through current TV and DVDs to want to pay monthly for that) and because I choose not to download content by other means, for personal reasons, I haven’t seen Dexter yet.

      … Yet. :)

    When you say you are disappointed with Dexter this season you must be talking about seson 3.
    Season 3 hasn’t come out in France yet and we’re currently getting season 2.

    I”m going to have to dissagree with you on Big Bang Theory. Season 2 of that show was fantastic (I think it may still be in it’s seconds season).

    King of the Hill started to turn bad in about it’s 8th season. The early episodes were genius and funnier than the Simpons and Family Guy in my opinion. But it went from being really funny to being what felt like a drama with a little humor thrown in for good measure. But it’s been canceled now.
