Top Ten Blogfest!

Monday Update is being moved to tomorrow because today is Alex J. Cavanaugh's Top Ten TV Shows Blogfest!  Essentially, what I'm going to do is give you a ten bullet list (in no particular order) of my favorite all-time TV shows, and why they're my favorites.

For a list of the other participants, click here.

The Smurfs



Growing up, we had this TV with a broken dial that you actually had to use pliers to change the channel.  Well, I was completely unable to manage it on my own, so I would have to give my big sister a massage before she would turn it onto the Smurfs for me.  And believe me, dear readers, I was more than willing to give that massage.  These little blue-skinned guys were some of my best friends growing up.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

Yeah, I just love that song.  

All the Stargate Shows (counting this as 3)


 

                                       

How can I possibly summarize my love for these shows?  Hmm...  They mix sci-fi with mythology and if you haven't figured out that is pretty much my all-time passion, you haven't been here very long.  Actually, SG-U deviated from that a bit, but it's still a really good show with awesome new worlds.

America's Next Top Model


 

A bunch of girls who get to play dress-up every week?  That's pretty much how I dreamed I would spend my adult years.  If I wasn't too old, too short, and had a weak chin, I would totally try out for this show! :P

Hell's Kitchen

                                                       
  
What can I say?  I love cooking shows and I love things that remind me of basic training.  This reality show (in my opinion) blows all other reality shows away.  People are actually chosen based on skill set rather than good looks and whether or not they'll bring drama to the show.  They don't need to choose someone for drama, they've already got Gordon Ramsey.   

Supernatural


I love being scared in non-gory settings.  This show quite literally terrifies me and if my hubby wasn't watching it with me, I would probably be too chicken to turn it on.  The MCs, Sam and Dean are absolutely hilarious, too.  The acting is superb and the each episode is amazing.  If you guys haven't seen it (on the CW), you MUST check it out.

Smallville



I have to admit that I missed the first few seasons and didn't really get into it until the WB became the CW.  However, I just love where the took the Superman storyline, and I've been devouring the first few seasons on Netflix.  I'm really sad that this is going to be the last year for Smallville.  I just hope he finally puts on his cape.  :D

SNL Jeopardy

I can't upload the video, but you must go here to see it.  Seriously.  Hilarious.  However, the video has some crass language, so be warned.

If you've ever seen a SNL Jeopardy skit, you completely understand why this is in my top ten.  If you haven't, you MUST click the link.

  4. HEY! I'm glad to have discovered you... I can't really do the fantasy, but love to read it, and we seem to have several overlapping genres on the writing.

    Supernatural looks FABULOUS! I am adding it to my last... Smallville, too, I think.
