"The answers to life's problems aren't at the bottom of a bottle. They're on TV!"
It's Tuesday, and I'm trying not to explode in a cloud of pink glitter from excitement since this weekend is Comic-Con, the cancer walk and the day I get to eat sushi and frolic around in Galaxy Comics and buy everything I ever wanted. So in the interest of self-distraction, I stole this meme from plainrea, but unsurprisingly, all my favorites are

I considered doing this meme too, but I couldn't narrow it down to just 5 shows. I got Big O, Dr Who (Tom Baker years) and the original Prisoner, but then things got messy. There's Paranoia Agent, FLCL, Robot Chicken, The X Files (the early years, of course), Star Trek (original) and it goes on from there.
Like, how would R. Dorothy deal with the Cylons of the rebooted Battlestar Galactica? What would #6 (Patrick McGoohan of The Prisoner) think of Paradigm and Alex Rosewater?

What if ROGER was a Cylon? It's very Blade Runner, don't you think?

Oooo, Roger as a Cylon! What a great idea, we could both have one, just like Boomer *lustful grin* Hey, now that I think of it, not one of the male Cylons was all that great looking.

*closes eyes and puts hand to forehead, laughing* Both have one. I love it! We could dress them differently and confuse passerby!

Are all animated (Japanese or otherwise) series nowadays not just "teh suck?" I mean, SRSLY. What happened? There was a time when every other anime out of Japan was a firecracker. ...And now? They're all duds. I haven't seen a single thing in the last 3-5 years that isn't harem, yaoi, or some ninja/samurai/supernatural powers type series with thirty-seven characters and a leading male who spends 25 of the 30-minute episode staring at his enemy with his fists clenched and his teeth bared. I swear everything on Adult Swim/SyFy right now is either a really bad rip-off of DBZ, or a really bad rip-off of Neon Genesis. (I won't even touch American cartoons. CN and Nickelodeon speak for themselves.) And the voice acting? What can I say. There IS no voice acting nowadays.
I have to say I've never seen CSI. But I have started watching Criminal Minds on ION and I am TOTALLY hooked.

And you're not wrong about DBZ--while I enjoyed the original Dragon Ball and the beginning of DBZ, let me tell you, that was the final nail in the coffin when it came to imports. Look at what happened to Bleach, for crying out loud, and the beginning of that show was honestly so good. Why does it always do this?
Like I said in Best Buy yesterday trying to decide which version of Super Street Fighter IV and Marvel vs. Capcom 3 I wanted, "Damn fanboys always wanting bigger and better of the same thing, always ruining everything!"
I still love anime, but the old anime, when the stories were good and the production teams cared about doing a good job instead of churning out another fight scene as ( ... )

I'd like to add Ah! My Goddess, and Fushigi Yuugi to that list. AMG is a classic, and while FY falls into the "convoluted and long" category (similar to Escaflowne), it remains one of the most gorgeously-drawn anime/mangas ever produced. There are other classics like One-Pound Gospel that are of note as well, and we can't ever forget the series that started it all, Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon. ;D
Criminal Minds is one of the few series where I actually like most (if not all) of the characters on the team. Shows like Psyche and Bones wear on my nerves, because there's only two or three people I like and the rest I tolerate for the sake of the two or three. But the cast for CM is tops. I especially ( ... )

I love Fushigi Yuugi, too--it's my favorite Watase. Ah! My Goddess is a great premise, too--although I admit, it's easy to like Urd. *^_^*
And I'm sure I've mentioned this to you already, but if you haven't watched Archer yet, DO IT. It has easily become my Latest Favorite Show Ever.
