Okay, to start off I'm a little biased because most of the shows on this list are from the WB. And in all fairness, I didn't have UPN until last year, so... from most must-have to least:
1.) Smallville.
I have been a follower of this show since its inception. I haven't exactly followed the comics or the movies, but this show is phenomenal. I've always known Lana wasn't Lois, but God had I wished she was. And Chloe, I hated her at first for being one of the people between Clark and Lana, but now ya just gotta love that girl. Downpoints: Sam couldn't be trusted with a secret so big. Clark's father dies, I know I was bummed too.
Verdict: Step up from The Adventures of...
2.) Veronica Mars.
Thank you CBS for airing this show last summer so I could glimpse it. I haven't strayed since. And even though I still haven't seen the first season in its entirety, I so badly want to purchase. But I will wait until it becomes (slightly) cheaper. But God do I love Vee ( Kristen too!), and the fact that she can make room for Buffy alumni, especially a very missed Willow.
Verdict: Detective show with less elderly stars, bravo and genius.
3.) Gilmore Girls
Now to be fair, I haven't watched much of the past couple seasons, but I did enjoy it in the early years. And my girlfriend, who has become obsessed with it, would kill me to know I let this one suffer a lower slot. But all in all this show is witty, and probably gives a lot of available monologue scenes for up-and-comers. I enjoy a show where the people talk as fast and frequently as I do.
Verdict: If I could type as fast as I can talk, this show would have already been posted, aka It's a Keeper.
4.) Supernatural
Can I say how happy I am that a slightly horror themed show has become a mini hit for theWB? I guess now I really don't need to. But I enjoy the teasing of a good horror movie, and sometimes I feel like I'm watching a full movie with just an hour gone by. (That's actually a good thing.) It's always good to go back down memory lane with these horror twists.
Verdict: 60 minute movies with clear-cut endings that don't feel to rushed, yea, that's definitely a good thing.
5.) Beauty and the Geek
I have to have my reality shows, and this show is just so great. To force people into the opposite side's shoes (this past season the girls became a little more dorky than usual, and got less attention from 'hot' guys, and a few moral bruising.) was awesome. In fact, I think it's just what the psychologist ordered. And if we can help a few 'geeks' to upgrade to a better 'model', well, who will complain? Someone (Damn them!).
Verdict: As long as the next time the girls are the geeks and the guys are the beauties, then I'm game.
6.) America's Next Top Model
This show is just true fun. To see women get judged by how they look and how they present themselves, with actual judges telling them they've got a lot of work to catch up: glorious. Of course, Tyra going satanic on one contestant also makes things so much more interesting as well.
Verdict: I have yet to watch this show on first-run (I'm a VH1 marathon watcher.), but maybe CW will bring me in.
7.) Charmed.
This show is last only because the witches have only so many ways left to 'die' before I get un-intrigued. This is another show where I finally gave up watching last season, but still enjoy to watch reruns of. However, it will be beneficial to all if they just quit making new seasons so I can quit buying them. (Do you think they bought it?)
Verdict: Too costly for my checkbook, but at least my girlfriend will be happy.
Shows CW could pick up so I can quit blubbering:
1.) Reunion.
This show is so absolutely awesome, and I just want to see it unravel. Surely CW has an audience worthy of it, not all of us will fall for Eve, Kitchen Confidential, or the likes. This show deserves an ending, no, I deserve an ending.
2.) Joan of Arcadia.
Just when the show was moving from good to awesome, CBS rips the rug from beneath me and laughs with glee. And then they think I will grab the coattails of The Book of Daniel, Hah, I scoff at your failure. If God is going to be on TV, I will take Joan or nothing at all. That goes for Jennifer Love Hewitt's crappy knock-off as well.
