I love this. Hard.
it's like a tribute to how hard Fox has fucked up over the years. I'm so glad you have Dark Angel in here.
This has shows I love and shows I've been wanting to see. Fantastic job.

[janine42584]

It really is kinda a tribute to how sucky Fox is, but on the other side Fox has given a bunch of shows a chance that I don't think any other network would ... so there is the plus side there, but then they get all stupid and worried and they pull shows ... or air them in the wrong order ... or just stop showing them. Hmmm ... yeah, Fox sucks ;)

I'm so happy you enjoyed it! I just LOVE Dark Angel. I highly suggest any of these shows, while they may not be perfect they are all based on great ideas. Thanks so much for the comment!

HOLY AWESOME FREAKING POST!!! *dies* I love this so hardcore...I got all nostalgic when I got to the Heroes pilot. It just actually made me realize I still love that show so damn much *sigh* I know a lot people hate it now, but I just can't LOL

Fringe and True Blood FTW.

Happy New Year :D

Thanks hun! Oh the Heroes pilot ... so freakin' good. And I'm really glad you're still enjoying Heroes. I really wish I could just get over my issues with it and enjoy it, but so far I can't ... give me time, I'm sure I'll come back ;)

Happy New Year to you too!

this is so good, wonderful job and awesome choices!

[janine42584]

Thank you so much! Oh and on a sidenote ... your icon, Deadwood is totally one of those shows that I NEED to watch. I've heard nothing but great things about it!

[karate_girl]

omg, it is so good. my favorite show, i was hooked immediately.

Oh Kings, how I miss thee.
Really was a wonderful show that didn't get proper advertisement (I saw like...one AD the entire time).
Really agree with all your choices and love the coloring. :)

[janine42584]

And also with Kings they just upped and changed the date it aired and timeslots without really letting anyone know. I got so confused as to when it aired. I hate when networks give up on a show before they air them, I feel like that's what happened with Kings ... and it could have been so good and gone so far. Too bad :(

I'm very glad you like my choices and the coloring! Thank you so much for the comment!!!

I'd completely forgotten about that! I do remember tuning in one night and it never airing...that's probably when I just started watching it on Hulu.

And it absolutely could've been a great series, I'm actually surprised another network didn't pick it up.

[betgirl]

This is awesome. We have a very similar taste. There are actually only 3 shows on this list that I never watched at least one episode.

[janine42584]

Great minds! And you know I almost added Supernatural to the list (because I LOVE that show), but I haven't actually watched the first two seasons all the way through because I don't like how it was shot ... I've seen most of the episodes, but they're just TOO contrasty for me (and I like contrast) ... it's way too distracting for me. But I've watched from third season on religiously.

I'm so glad you like the post! Thanks for the comment :)
