Some television shows get old after too many seasons, some manage to avoid that curse. Some get cancelled before we found out which. You will notice a pattern, most shows I love get cancelled.


Big Bang Theory is still one of the best shows on TV. It continues to be smart, funny, and has one of the greatest ensembles ever put together. The fact that the actors can nail all the scientific jargon alone is amazing, not to mention how hard it is to keep a straight face. Sheldon (Jim Parsons) is my personal favorite.

I still love How I Met Your Mother, but it has spent so many years leading up to the mom, that they better wow us. The show is still funny and the ensemble here is wonderful, but they are becoming "Friends 2" according to my mom. Neil Patrick Harris is legend.. wait for it.. dary!

Arrested Development was one of the greatest dysfunctional family comedies ever. I was pissed when they cancelled it, but happy to find out they are filming new episodes for Netflix. More Jason Batemen is always welcome.

Another great dysfunctional family comedy was Malcolm In The Middle. Fox needs to release the dvds already.

Chuck is so much fun. Loved it! 

Revolution is an interesting show.

I love Stephen King, so Haven and Under The Dome are right up my alley.

New Girl is only in it's second season, but I'm enjoying it. Zooey Deschanel is adorable.

I enjoyed Scrubs (the last season not so much), it had a great ensemble and it was silly/funny.

I'm not really sure why I like certain shows, I guess they just hit me the right way. My Name Is Earl is one of those shows. To me, it's funny. It's even funnier seeing people from the show turning up on Raising Hope, (they were created by the same guy). I think Raising Hope is even funnier than My Name Is Earl, something about the show just gets me.

The Office (US Version) and Parks And Recreation are two more examples of offbeat humor. They boast two truly great characters (The Office has Dwight, Parks.. has Ron). The Office also has all the Jim/Dwight pranks.

Reaper was fun. Ray Wise was a great Devil, and the whole bounty hunter for Satan thing was cool.

Tony Shalhoub was the perfect casting choice for Monk. The show was a great blend of humor, drama and action.

Psych is still going strong, still funny, still interesting. Lassiter (Timothy Omundson) is my hero.

Burn Notice continues to be action-packed, funny in the right places and the tricks they use are awesome.

I read The Vampire Diaries when I was I kid, but I prefer the show. Whether it be the books or show, Damon is always my favorite. The spin-off The Originals is quite good so far too.

Communicating with the dead is always cool, so I loved both Medium and Ghost Whisperer. I didn't like how they ended Medium though. But both shows were enjoyable.

In Tru Calling, Tru (Eliza Dushku) would repeat the day to save people. I love Eliza Dushku, she's just awesome. So of course it was cancelled. 

In a more intriguing and humorous look at life after death, you had Dead Like Me. Dying and becoming a Grim Reaper with a day job was a great idea. It was unfortunately cancelled after two seasons.

Another show with an intriguing premise involving death was Pushing Daisies. It was very quirky and lasted only two seasons. 

Two shows I miss came from the UK, Primeval and Hex. Primeval dealt with dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures. Andrew Lee-Potts is adorable. Hex dealt with fallen angels, ghosts (one of the main characters is one), witchcraft and other supernatural fun. Michael Fassbender is hot.

Other fun shows about witchcraft were Charmed and Secret Circle. I read the Secret Circle books when I was a kid and I enjoyed the show (it was cancelled after one season). Charmed was one of the best supernatural shows ever made.

Eureka was a town full of geniuses that always had things go wrong. It was smart, funny and had a great cast.

I can't wait for the new episodes of Warehouse 13. This is another show that blends humor, fun ideas, action, and good casting.

Sanctuary is another unique idea show, though I think it may have been cancelled (nothing says for sure).

Once Upon A Time is one of the shows I can't miss. I love the slightly fractured fairy tales.

Grimm is absolutely marvelous.

House was a good show, Hugh Laurie was brilliant.

Robert Downey, Jr. is the best Sherlock Holmes, but Jonny Lee Miller does a really great job on Elementary.

NCIS is always really good. Abby (Pauley Perrette) is one of the most fun characters, I even named one my dogs after her.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles had Summer Glau (who I adore) as a Terminator. She's not exactly your first thought when you think Terminator, but I liked it.

The 4400 could have gone longer, having an infinite number of abilities and 4400 different people's stories. It lasted four seasons.

Breakout Kings was a fun idea, criminals catching other criminals. It lasted two seasons.

The Event and FlashForward both got cancelled before they could really get anywhere and explain everything.

Carnivale answered some questions, but left others when it got cancelled after two seasons. I love Nick Stahl.

Even though Dark Angel was silly, I still liked it. I loved Jensen Ackles on this show (Love him more on Supernatural).

I love the Tremors movies, but the series was also fun.

Even though I hated the movie The Dead Zone, I liked the show.

Touch was an interesting series, but has now been cancelled.

Ringer showed potential, but was cancelled.

The Dresden Files was fun, a wizard named Harry (hehe).

No Ordinary Family was fun and cancelled before finishing.

Flight Of The Conchords was one of those shows, you're not really sure why you like it, you just do.

Lost and Heroes both started strong, then went downhill.

Jericho was another good idea show that was cancelled before fully being finished.

Roswell was teenage angst with aliens. Still fun, though.

My Boys was cute, but could only go so far.

Hot In Cleveland is really funny.

That '70s show started funny, then lost some of that humor.
