Postby MadGuy on Sat Sep 05, 2009 9:35 pm

I was going to wait until the end of the year, and until I was further into shows like The West Wing, Homicide & Northern Exposure.
But whatever, I couldn't stand that old list any longer.

So here is a new list, 110 instead of a 100.

You are a list-a-holic, but I love reading them :) Some curious rankings for some of the shows, but a lot of good shows nonetheless.

:lol: I sadly watch the show lmfao. but i still hate allison dubois like none other lulz. One example, Allison Dubois has a dream about a boy's mother who tried to kill her own son, and then gets a call from devalos " She's dead Allison" then Allison blurts out "Impossible, I just dreamt her" Like her Dream > physical evidence.

Thanks for the comments <3


and Medium ain't trash, not all of it is great, but it is actually surprisingly good at times.
Patricia Arquette = love. Whether you love her character or not. She is smart and knows what she is doing.



Nways, 70-61 are up.

Have you seen the death note films, JD?

As for Medium, Allison is prob one of the best female characters on TV - she's so very flawed, and that's why I like her. Very natural.

One of the best? maybe. But I agree, natural. Her relationship with Joe is very well done.


and no I have not. you mean the real-life movies, right?
Are they worth watching?
