This is my top 10 list and is just my opinion. If your favorite show isn’t on this list I’m sorry but this is my list and these are the shows that I like. If you have have an issue with something feel free to discuss it in the comments and try to be civil.

10. Legend of the Seeker

I never liked The Sword of Truth series of books, just to get that out of the way. When I heard they were making it into a television series I was like meh. Then I watched the first season and I really enjoyed it. I know it only has two seasons but it’s really good. It takes the formula that Sam Raimi started with Xena and Hercules and made it even better. If you haven’t watched you really should, it’s such a good show.

9. Farscape

Farscape is such a joy to watch. If you haven’t yet noticed that a good show to me has great characters and this show is no exception. Such fun and well rounded characters. John Crichton’s wormhole obsession and Rygel’s helium farts are just very fun. It is a pretty epic space opera in it’s own right.

8. Game of Thrones

Game of Thrones is a brutal intrigue-filled soap opera with dragons and I love it. I mean, is it faithful to the books? No. But is it a marvelous show? Yes. It is filled with everything a fantasy fan loves. It has the medieval feel with magic, mystery, backstabbing, action, intrigue and did I mention dragons.

7. Doctor Who

What can I say about Doctor Who that hasn’t already been said? This is the show that started it all. We have this show to thank for probably every other show on this list in some way.

6. Stargate SG-1

The Stargate movie for me was ok. Then SG-1 came out and I just fell in love with it. It took an ok film and turned it into a huge series with so much to like. This show always did a good job of not taking itself to seriously, which is strange for a military show, but it works.

5. Supernatural

This is really a fun show. Sam and Dean are the most likable characters. They hunt monsters and kick ass. This show to me showcases the best bromance on television. It has been going strong for 10 seasons with no signs on slowing down.

4. Angel

Angel is a spin off of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and in a way it was almost better. It had more mature themes and was a good bit darker. It doesn’t have nearly the amount of humor that Buffy had but that’s a good thing and the show really was excellent. It follows our dark broody vampire on his soul saving quest for redemption. It is really an equal to Buffy but different enough to catch a whole different breed of fans.

3. Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Buffy was the fist show that sucked me in and made me realize that I might like television shows better than movies. It showed me how a show can have a story arc that can last an entire season and be awesome. Buffy has all the snark and wit you expect from a Joss Whedon show. It has strong characters and an important message for young women that they should be idolized and not objectified.

2. Firefly

Firefly was a show that to me came out of nowhere and was gone just as quick. It was like winning the lottery and then realizing that you only got to keep the money for 13 days. This show in my opinion is Joss Whedon’s masterpiece. It has an excellent blend of drama and comedy wrapped in a western sci-fi tortilla and deep fried to perfection. If it had been handled properly by the network, I believe it could still be on the air today.

1. Battlestar Galactica

I have watched a lot of shows in my time but I have never been so taken in by a show like I was taken with this one. This show had a profound impact on me. I fell in love with the characters and I felt the pain and suffering that the last of humanity was going through. I finished watching it and immediately watched it again. I had never done that before, and I have not done it since.
