- CreatorEric KripkeStarsJared PadaleckiJensen AcklesJim BeaverTwo brothers follow their father's footsteps as hunters, fighting evil supernatural beings of many kinds, including monsters, demons, and gods that roam the earth.I think this has become one of the biggest events in my television show diary!
- CreatorJames Manos Jr.StarsMichael C. HallJennifer CarpenterDavid ZayasHe's smart. He's lovable. He's Dexter Morgan, America's favorite serial killer, who spends his days solving crimes and nights committing them.What can possibly be said about this show? I've just finished Season Five and I am breathless.
- CreatorJosh FriedmanStarsLena HeadeyThomas DekkerSummer GlauSet after the events in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), Sarah Connor and her son, John, try to stay under-the-radar from the government, as they plot to destroy the computer network, Skynet, in hopes of preventing Armageddon.Short lived, but excellent. It was just beginning to really take off. I spent last night watching all of season two and I've moved it to the top 5 of the list. What makes this such a wonderful experience is the creativity and the acting. Summer Glau and Thomas Dekker are particularly watchable - although the John Connor character can be so flawed it makes me want to hammer him! Glau's performance is remarkable (again) she moves cat like, demonstrates an amazing ability to observe in a robotic way and mostly she's captivating in most of the things she does because she does them so well. Brian Austin Green is another standout, Lena Headey is brilliant as the angst ridden Sarah and other Richard T Jones and Garret Dillahunt (in such stunning fashion) underline why everyone should watch this show.
- CreatorDonald P. BellisarioDon McGillStarsDavid McCallumSean MurrayMark HarmonFollows the Major Case Response Team (MCRT) from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS), as they get to the bottom of criminal cases connected to Navy and Marine Corps personnel.Consistent quality.

- CreatorJeff DavisStarsKirsten VangsnessMatthew Gray GublerA.J.

Excellent characters and storylines.

Thanks!
- CreatorJoss WhedonStarsSarah Michelle GellarNicholas BrendonAlyson HanniganA young woman, destined to slay vampires, demons and other infernal creatures, deals with her life fighting evil, with the help of her friends.Highlights are of course Spike and season six and seven.

- CreatorDavid GreenwaltJoss WhedonStarsDavid BoreanazCharisma CarpenterAlexis DenisofThe vampire Angel, cursed with a soul, moves to Los Angeles and aids people with supernatural-related problems while questing for his own redemption.Of course the spin-off from Buffy would be here - especially season 5 - Spike and Illyria, wow!
- CreatorChris DowneyJohn RogersStarsTimothy HuttonGina BellmanChristian KaneA crew of high-tech crooks attempt to steal from wealthy criminals and corrupt businessmen.What a fantastic show - wish there were more episodes a season.

- CreatorJames CameronCharles H. EgleeStarsJessica AlbaMichael WeatherlyRichard GunnA group of genetically-enhanced children escape from a lab project. Years later we meet Max, one of the escapees who now works for a messenger service in the post-apocalyptic Pacific Northwest.So short lived, such a shame - excellent potential.

- CreatorRobert C. CooperBrad WrightStarsJoe FlaniganRachel LuttrellDavid HewlettAn international team of scientists and military personnel discover a Stargate network in the Pegasus Galaxy and come face-to-face with a new, powerful enemy: The Wraith.What a shame this show was cancelled to make way for SGU - it was endless in story arcs, as well as some fascinating exploration.
- CreatorRobert C. CooperBrad WrightStarsRobert CarlyleLouis FerreiraBrian J. SmithTrapped on an Ancient spaceship billions of light-years from home, a group of soldiers and civilians struggle to survive and find their way back to Earth.With so many fans complaining about the cancellation of SGA, it was only a matter of time before the abandonment meant it would be following its sister show after only two seasons.
