2. Lost (2004-2010) 



Synopsis: 
The survivors of a plane crash must work together to survive and understand the mysteries of the island. 

Why I love this show: 
Never has a show gripped my attention and my emotions quite like Lost did. It seems that most fans are divided about Lost, they either love it or they hate it, and it all seems to go back to what they thought of the last episode. But whether or not the last episode is good or not I don’t think one of episode can determine a TV show. (I for one loved the last episode so I guess it’s a little easier for me to say). For me Lost was more about the journey of the characters, the things they learned and discovered, and what they were able to let go of. There are so many parallels to life that I often found myself pondering about long after it was over. I love TV shows and films that make me think and have conversations even after they are over. While not ever mystery or clue was wrapped up in the end, the one thing that matter did, the emotional journey of each character. I find that so similar to our lives, that we won’t always be able to find the answer to everything, but despite that we can still learn, discover, and connect with people. And those are what are most important. Of course though all the other crazy things about Lost make the show so much more fun as well! I wrote a lot more about Lost here and here

3. Batman The Animated Series (1992-1995) (1997-1999)




Synopsis: 
Animated series based off the comic book character Batman. 

Why I love this show: 
This is THE Batman show. If anyone really wants to get to know the character (besides the movies) and not get overwhelmed with the thousands of comics this is the best place to go for it. This show is what made me love Batman in the first place and was a staple in my after school routine. While it was made for kids, it’s one that all ages can enjoy. The stories are dark, smart, and most of all a lot of fun. It has some of the best Batman stories ever told in my opinion. For a kids cartoon the action is also very good. It’s got a unique animation style and some amazing voice acting. Seriously google Mark Hamill as the Joker, you will get chills. There are now hundreds of versions an interpretations of Batman but I think this may be my favorite version. Well, it’s probably a tie with Dark Knight trilogy:) If you are a Batman fan and have not seen this show (I don’t know how you call yourself a Batman fan and have not seen this show) do yourself a favor and watch it now!

4. Parks and Rec (2009-2015) 



Synopsis: 
Lesile Knope leads the Parks and Rec department in the small town of Pawnee Indiana. 

Why I love this show: 
Why do I not love this show? Seriously I can’t really think of any reasons why I wouldn’t love it. The first thing I have to say about this show is that the characters are amazing. The all add their own unique quirks that makes this show so great.  At first they all seem a little zany and un relatable but after a few episodes in it’s easy to see how each of them have different redeemable qualities. And when Amy Poelar isn’t even the funniest person on the show, you know you have a hilarious show. Like I mentioned with the Wonder Years this show can be both funny and sweet at the same time. This is show that if I ever need a pick me up and I can turn it on and it always seems to do the trick. 

Favorite Season: 
Season 3, 4 

Favorite Episodes: 
"April and Andy’s Fancy Party", "End of the World", "Halloween Surprise", "The Cones of Dunshire"

5. Friday night lights (2006-2011) 




Synopsis: 
The story of what it’s like to live in small Texas town and their love for high school football. 

Why I love this show: 
I saw the movie that this show is based off and I didn’t really love it, so I was never really interested in watching the TV show. But I kept hearing from a few people how great it was, so I thought I would check it out on Netflix one day. I honestly didn’t think I would keep watching it, but once I started it I could not stop. I love that this show deals with real life issues that happen within families and communities. I like how the show explores one of the many differing cultures that America has to offer. I felt like I was living in Texas experiencing the culture. Most shows set up their own fictional culture, but few are able to capture a real life one. Like all shows on my list though the main draw is the characters. Seeing them struggle, triumphant and make stupid and dumb decisions made them all sympathetic characters to me. While season 2 goes off to show weird places the rest of it simply amazing. Even if you are not a fan of football I would still recommend this show.


Favorite Season:

"Mud Bowl", "Tomorrow’s Blues", "The Son", "East of Dillion", "Always"

6. Star Wars: Clone Wars



Synopsis: 
Stories of the clone wars set in between Stars Wars Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith 

Why I love this show: 
First of all I love Star Wars, so it’s no surprise that I would like this show. But beyond just the fact that it’s Star Wars, this is a show with great story telling and fun and exciting characters. Some of the best Star Wars stories are found here. It also adds a lot of depth to the prequel films, and at times it is even better then some of them. We see much more character development of Anakin Skywalker and it's easy to understand how he could eventually join the dark side. Along with that we are able to learn a lot more about most of the characters from the prequels and also get introduced to awesome new ones. It's got some amazing action sequences that rival many of the action scenes in the films. This is show that every Star Wars fan needs to check out. 

Favorite Season:
