It may be a year or so old, but I really recommend watching Dr. Horrible's Sing-along Blog. It's awesome! Even more so if you are a fan of Barney Stinson / Neil Patrick Harris.

Also includes other geek fan favourites, such as Felicia Day and Nathan Fillion and 'that one guy' from BBT.

Harpers Island
seems nice 4 episodes in now.
Mystery killer kills of grp of ppl visiting a wedding on an island 1 by 1. quite fun and interesting so far.

Fringe
J.J. Abrahams worked on this wannabe X-files covered with a science sauce.
pretty decent as long as u dont get stuck up on logic and stuff like that.

Party down
Awesome comedy bout a bunch of never-beens working for catering service lead by a nicely weird and ackward boss, the
office-style (US)

Dollhouse - only starts becoming interesting from ep. 7on (but dont think it will see a 2nd season) but seems promising now at 10. Joss whedons new series, nikita-like story with typical whedon sense of humor. only mentioned it cuz if ppl can stand BBT for penny and TS:SCC for summer glau then Eliza Dushku might get them riled up for this one as well :)


LOST (best series in years)
Heroes (will S4/volume5 finally show the quality again that went missing in S2?)
Dexter
True blood (vampires in the real world)
Life - zen detective plotting revenge on those that sent him to jail (kind of like Monk only more plot and action)
How I Met Your Mother, Family Guy, Scrubs

Favourite oldies:
Carnivale, Nowhere man, X-Files, Deadwood.
Boston Public, The Practice.

lol anime is for kids.

Desoto has some pretty decent taste, although are you trying to say T:SCC is only good cause of Glau? If so, /shoo

Anime is just another medium like Comics. You read Y The Last Man as well so you should know that the medium has nothing to do with the content. :D

And if you think all Anime is fun and games, I dare you to watch Now and Then, Here and There. :gala:

What a retarded column. It's like comparing, for example, T:SCC to the North Pole series and then saying that all Live Action is porn, hence T:SCC sucks. <_<

I thought s3 of Heroes was awfull :( incredibly loose storyline and too many easy fixes by the writers....

Lost S5 though is <3

T:SCC is nice, i watched all of it, good action, tho it got a bit offtrack in S2. plus it suffers from the same illness heroes has in the chearleader, the same old soap-opera discussions and conflicts over and over again
(i hate you, sorry i love i will never doubt you again, what i dont get new shoes?? i hate you i hate you ill never speak to you again) John connor can be quite a bitch apparently, and derek is a douche.


theres anime and theres anime:

Cowboy Bebop (sci-fi bounty hunters with kungfu)
Hellsing (mega-magic-super vampires)
Trigun (post-apocalyptic fun with cowboy-guns...big ass cowboy guns)
also X and Scryed
some of the better series ever regardless of being animated or not

Been meaning to check this one out.

Oh forgot to mention that Dr. Horrible is also one of Joss Whedon's concoctions. It's kinda like the Buffy episode 'Once more with feeling' (only better), if you've seen that.

First season of BBT was good for the most part. Starting to lose interest in it now though.
