K heres MY favorite 15 for TV....
15. Criss Angel - Mindfreak (Season 1 & 2)
A&E
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/512Y1%2Bi7rLL._SS500_.jpg
Ya...Ya Criss Angel has become an ass lately because of his own fame, but there was a time when he used to be really good. His Levitations are far superior to other magicians such as Blane & some of the stunts & magic tricks done just blew people away. Still the guy does some serious tricks that makes your jaw drop & arguably still the best damn magician on the planet.
14. Heroes (Season 1 & 2)
NBC
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41XBh%2BR0tmL._SS500_.jpg
I'm a Huge fan of Marvel, so was naturally exited when I first saw mutants appear in a tv series. Sure most of the powers were ripoffs from Marvel... but is there any imaginable power that Marvel hasn't used ? The first season was kick ass, The second a bit weak (gave the benefit of the doubt due to the Writers Strike) But sad that it has really lost steam in season 3...Cyler becoming Pathetic...Mohindra suddenly gets to be "Beast come Spiderman" ??? WTF ???
13. L Word (All Seasons)
HBO
http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/7650/02lw.jpg
Hot Babes involved in Hot Lesbian Action for 5 straight seasons ..what more can u ask for ? and yeah its Uncensored..THANK YOU.. HBO
12. X-Files (Season 1-3)
Fox
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41T6jJqjkmL._SS500_.jpg
We all know that X-Files should have been over a long time ago..if it had stopped after season 4 it would hav been considered as one of the greatest TV series ever made..but sadly it didnt because of the greed of the studios & now it just leaves a bad taste in the mouth.. What could have been Great was made to look ridiculous by the studios for not letting it go.... But for me... 3 of the finest Seasons of Television history was in the X-Files.
11. Carnivale (All Seasons)
HBO
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51G28BEV1QL._SS500_.jpg
One of the darkest & one of the best TV series created HBO up to date. Add the Great Depression, A Traveling Carnival with all sorts of weird people, Supernatural Elements With a Preacher who is really the Devil & a normal youth has the power of healing that has a catch (the amount of power required to heal has to be drawn by another living thing...So in order to heal someone you need to kill another) U get the carnivale.
This series fuses together the many various beliefs in the supernatural, the paranormal, the true face of religion , and the side of humanity that often hides in the dark.
The biggest complain is it does not tie loose ends... Towards the end of the series you have more question than you first started out with. But still a magical series by HBO.
10. Rome (All Seasons)
HBO
http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/fc/10/55d3793509a0f4cba98c3110.L.jpg
Ancient Rome is shown here with all the betrayals, the Coups, the Killings, Back Stabbings, Treason, Brutality, Sex, Violence, politics, Wars and yes..all its Glory. From the rise of Julius Ceaser to Cleopatra to his death to Mark Anthony's rise & fall..this is one spectacular series...
The splendor of Rome is shown here hand in hand with the slums. The Beauty with the ugly....Nobleness with Treason... One Awesome series..
09. The Office (All Seasons)
NBC
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51DMXAT3T5L._SS500_.jpg
A damn funny series about a group of office workers who has an ego maniac for a boss. Not one of your average comedies...
08. The Sopranos (All Seasons)
HBO
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41MzxcYxLDL._SS500_.jpg
No introduction necessary... One of the most popular Mafia TV series in history....
07.The Stand (Steven King)
ABC
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51P8JEFY6XL._SS500_.jpg
Adopted from the Kings Best Seller "The Stand" this is an excellent adoption of the book... One of Kings best books & one of the best Post Apocalyptic Mini-Series out there..
06. Deadwood (All Seasons)
HBO
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51W4yxbufeL._SS500_.jpg
HBO is for TV what Pixar is for Animation...They produce the most awesome shit out there & this is just another one of them. This is one of the best written shows I've ever watched. Just watch this for the role of Al Swearengen, played magnificently by Ian McShane. You may never see a jaw dropping performance in TV than his. In its first season alone, Deadwood received 11 Emmy nominations.
The story is about a small town called Deadwood during the gold rush period of the 1800s. Yes its a Western of sorts...Yes there's Victorian language spoken but man its the kind of language you've never heard before. Imagine the most beautifully composed sentences in old English mixed with the most gutter filthy words.. I kid you not...your jaw will hit the floor & you will grin in disbelief.... What a series by HBO...
05. True Blood
HBO
http://img124.imageshack.us/img124/1972/01tb.jpg
Hell yeah..HBO with a vampire series... for anyone who wants watch a kick-ass uncensored Vampire series hat is not lollipop trash..watch this...
The story is about Vampires finally coming out in the open & announcing their arrival to the world..People now know they exist & have accepted them as part of the society...But some do not..
You 'll learn that The older vampires are the more powerful ones.. & when Vampires live in nests they get more nastier & meaner & more fun... Vampire blood is the best 'E' anyone can get & its addictive so Junkies kill vampires for their blood....some new concepts & theories & hell of a ride..oh also U get to see Anna Paquin naked for the first time.
04. Faulty Towers
BBC
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51idYgjj6BL._SS500_.jpg
Arguably the funniest British Comedy ever created. About a Hotel run by the most eccentric "Basil Faulty"... You have never seen anything like this & u never will again...This one is an absolute classic.
03. Band of Brothers
HBO
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41T0mmgRe5L._SS500_.jpg
Created by Steven Spielberg the best Mini Series about WWII out there. This is the true story of the Easy company's campaign from the start of the WWII until they capture the Hitlers Golden Nest in Germany. War shown in gut wrenching, un-compromising true moments that will be etched in your mind for a long time (Ex- The shelling in Foy..gives u some feeling of what r guys might be facing from the LTTEs non stop heavy artillery barrages..it is absolutely frightening)...
Imagine the first 20 Minutes of the Omaha beach landing of "Saving Private Ryan"...now imagine the same visuals without the lame ending but reality for an entire Mini-Series created by Steven Spielberg ...HBO I salute you cunts...
02. The Practice (All 8 seasons)
ABC
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/512BglD3qVL._SS500_.jpg
For the ones who grew up with "L.A. Law" this is the upgrade & the best Court Room Drama series ever.. If you r not in to these kinds series then this may not be for you.... but if u love court room action this is simply the best goddamn series there is.. This is about a law firm that specializes in Criminal Law..meaning defending murderers, serial killers, drug dealers & rapists... absolutely fabulous...
01. Battlestar Galactica (All Seasons+Mini Series)
SciFi
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51PE4TY9CXL._SS500_.jpg
OK..this is the best damn TV series I have ever watched. I Know that many have not seen this great series, so think its high time you do. Cause maaan u dont know what u r missing...
The Story
In the future an artificial life form is created by man, and eventually forms a society which turns on their creators. The story here takes place 40 years after the last known contact with this race of machines called the cylons, who went rogue & left the human colonies seeking their own destiny. The events unfold quickly when the cyclons attack without warning. Its total genocide. The human race is completely wiped out. Only
40,000 survives the attack & escapes to space with a single Battle cruiser for their protection. The battle cruiser is 'Battlestar Gallactica'.
We follow the storyline of the only survivors of humanity & their journey through the galaxies to find a new home (earth). They are ruthlessly pursued by the entire might of the Cylon force. Will humanity survive ?...for the answer watch the mini series first...
This is one of the darkest, the most powerful tv series ever made. Stuff like X-Files, Lost, Atlantis, Startreck just pale in comparison.
First watch the miniseries.Then watch Season 1. Cause Season 1 starts where the miniseries left off.
I'm still dazed after watching season 3...Never have a tv series got to me like this before...Simply AWESOME
