Ranking the 2008/09 TV season! October 22, 2008

Favorites. Most anticipated. Can’t get enough of. This list makes it all official — the shows I follow this season, from top to bottom.
1. 30 Rock: Season 3 is yet to begin and this show tops everything else currently showing. What can I say? I <3 Tina Fey.
2. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: I’m amazed with how they keep their production values so high on this thing, and I’m surprised with how much I’m digging the Terminator mythology. Keep this coming.
3. Star Wars: The Clone Wars: I haven’t enjoyed a good cartoon since Justice League Unlimited. This show is better than I expected, considering the film’s (which I haven’t watched) bad reviews.
4. LOST: Still high on my list just because it’s my all-time favorite. This could be higher if it were showing, but I have faith in Season 5. January can’t come too soon.
5. Fringe: I’m starting to get a hang of this show now that the revelations are coming, albeit slowly. Still, I love how this show is put together week after week.
6. The Big Bang Theory: This is the nerdiest show ever made — and incredibly fun too. Recommended to all Pisay people.
7. Heroes: The dialogue is still crappy, continuity is getting convoluted by the minute, and I watch this show purely for its plot twists. I’m a big picture thinker, so I just like seeing how it all fits eventually. There are too many devils in the details though.
8. How I Met Your Mother: Already in its fourth season, the show seems to have lost direction. Last episode seems to get things back on track, so we’ll see. This show used to be higher on the list; at least a top 5.
9: Survivor: Gabon: This is the 17th season of Survivor, a show I haven’t really watched since season 5 and then caught up with for the China season (15). I usually catch this show on Friday nights, so its a good way to wind down at the end of the week. It’s comforting to know some had a worse week — fake or otherwise.
10. Smallville: Isn’t this show dead yet? Worse — why am I even following it? This show should have ended three seasons ago to keep it truthful to the Superman mythology. And now they’re bringing in Doomsday? I just want to see how this show ends; that’s my only motivation. It’s not a lot to go by, but it’s the most I can say for a show that did have its glory days.
And not included in the Top 10 are The Colbert Report and The Daily Show for they’ll outlive all these shows anyway. I haven’t caught up with other recommended shows such as House and Prison Break, so they won’t be in this list until I do.
So am I not watching something that I should?
sir try rome
its great.. the cinematography is just.. whoo 
and i agree with the big bang theory being just an absolute must see for pisay people

haha. i agree with what you said about the big bang theory. haha. hella nerdy — i actually get befuddled trying to understand sheldon.
Sheldon is a perfect example of someone you’d love to hate. He’s funny.
