Wow, these last few picks have hurt my list. Great job grabbing them up when you could, everyone. A skill I still have yet to learn :p

But, where I am getting destroyed in live action drama and comedy, I feel I am more than making up for in grabbing legendary adult cartoons. Here's another that can't last much longer



Daria - MTV (1997-2002)

A spin-off of the Beavis and Butthead of which I missed out on, I'll take this as a handy substitute. Perfect dry humor and witty dialogue abounds in this show about an apathetic high school teen. It was a little old for me to totally get in its initial run, but its all the better now. Great show.

And with the first pick of the unluckiest round, I may be making another reach here but I really need another show with some semblance of drama other than the Sopranos.



Medium - NBC/CBS (2005-present)

Medium is an intriguing little show. Its dipped a bit in the past couple seasons, so maybe its switch over to CBS will freshen things up. The first three seasons of this show were pretty excellent, well-paced drama all though at times a little too predictable. But the beauty (or maybe mistake) of this show is that sometimes the main story of each episode is secondary to the interactions of the Dubois family. Their family dynamic is quite interesting and sometimes remarkably realistic. Well, as realistic as I'd imagine a family of psychics would be....

Well ****! I had completely forgotten about that show, to my mind the only non-music show MTV has ever done that was worth a damn, then I ran across it yesterday, thinking what a great pick it would make. A mere three hours later and you wreck that scenario. Nice (in the worst possible sense).

This might be a foolish pick, but I realize my list is lacking that action/drama type show ... Life without LOST is going to hurt, so with my next pick, I select the LOST wanna be and brand new Flash Forward (2009-Present)



Yup, thats right. This show had its series premiere tonight and Im already drafting it. As a matter of fact, Some of you in the West Coast probly havent even had the CHANCE to watch it.

If anyone watches LOST as religiously as I do, you would have seen those commercials during this past season with a flash of a screenshot then the words "what did you see?". Well, this show is the product of those commercials. Everyone on earth ( they think ) has blacked out for a little over two minutes, Except the blackout was actually visions of there future .. so now there trying to figure out who or what caused the blackout and if they can change what they saw ( if they didnt like what it is that they saw).

Anyways, the premiere was good enough to grab me and i'll be watching next week.

I suggest giving this show a look before you get to far behind, I know thats whats stopping a lot of my friends from getting into Lost at this point.

Wow that was relatively fast. Well, if I don't pick this show my wife will see to it that I will never be able to pick again.

Roswell (1999-2002)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0201391/

For those of you have never seen it, straight from IMDB.com: Max Evans, Isabel Evans and Michael Guerin are teenage humans with extraordinary gifts - gifts that are "not-of-this-earth". They are human/alien hybrids, sent here to complete their destiny.

I like any show that features a bar band named the "Kit Shickers." Plus, the girls in this show = hot (Katherine Heigl!!!).

Back into big time network guy mode:The office phone rings. It's my brother again...

Don't Get Eliminated!

Most Extreme Elimination Challenge (2003-2007)

Oh man, this show is insanely hilarious. My favorite game is "Sinkers and Floaters."

The Black Adder (1983-1989)

Snarky, evil-minded and just plain funny. Blackadder is a show that goes through four different historical periods of Great Britain (War of the Roses, The Golden Age, Regency and World War I) and basically mocks all of them. This is what Rowan Atkinson should really be known for and not that other show. Moreover, you have Hugh Laurie in his first major role, playing an utter idiot of all things (makes a great contrast to House) and sometimes even Stephen Fry, one of my personal heroes. Anyways, it's great.

Not to be snarky or anything, but this isn't one show. It's four different shows if you check the IMDB listings.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084988/ - 1983

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088484/ - 1986

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092324/ - 1987

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096548/- 1989

I only bring this up for the honest reason that I've been trying to figure out which one of the four I would pick if I decided to go with them.

I need more comedy on my isle, however will most of my other check-down comedies taken, I have to reach back into the vault....

Good Times (1974-1979)




The quinnessential black family comedy before the Cosby show hit the airwaves. Another Norman Lear production (loosely with a capital LOOSE) from another Lear work "Maude", was fabulous appointment television back in day. Heck, it still is! Thank you DVDs and Columbia House :) The Evans family trials and tribulations were spiced with humor. Wasn't nearly as good a show when John Amos left, but it sure was good while he was there.

Uhh...that hurts...I never seriously looked at there being different installments because it seemed to be so clearly one show with different seasons. But you're right of course, even the wikipedia entry says that it's four series. Well, if pressed, I'd probably go with Blackadder Goes Fourth, the last one. That way I can also keep the youtube video as it is.

Now, to start round 14, I'm going to grab one I really didn't think would last this long.

WKRP in Cincinnati - 1978-1982

This show, if nothing else, gave us the immortal line: "As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!"

Staying with comedy, and going with a game show twist....since my all time favorite Jeopardy is gone, something else will have to do.

Win Ben Stein's Money (1997-2003)



The very drone, yet wildly knowledgeable economy dude Ben Stein (Buehler...Buehler...) took on the common joes and josephinas "manno a manno" as he was wont to say. When Jimmy Kimmel was his co-host, this was gold and the trivia was great too.

Darkwing Duck (1991-1995)

To get one of my childhood favourites in there. Loved it back then, still find it massively entertaining to this very day. Was also pretty much the only show I watched back then that my parents didn't mind watching as well.
