A non-scientific poll for GotMeader's. I'm sure with the wide range of ages and backgrounds here that the responses will be greatly varied. Feel free to include a brief description of why you like each show (both past and present).
1. Drama
2. Police
3. Lawyer
4. Medical
5. Sit-com
6. Sci-Fi
7. Reality
8. Other (e.g. Dramedy Comedy-drama)
Drama – Current: “Once Upon a Time” - A real surprise. Light, with the I-can’t-wait-to-see-what-happens-next appeal. Plus the evil queen is gorgeous. I’m not so sure that the story line can last for more than a few seasons.
Drama – Past: “American Dreams” - A show depicting the turbulent 60’s, with and excellent score of music from that time period. (Honorable mention: “The Book of Daniel” and “The New People”)
Police – Current: ”Bones” – CSI-type show with a great blend of characters and themes (think religion vs. science).
Police – Past: "Cold Case" - Unique use of flashbacks and a musical score from when the crime occured. (Honorable mention: “The Cape” – Comic book style police/drama done in a serious (non-campy) manner)
Lawyer – Current: None
Lawyer – Past: "The Practice" (with original cast)
Medical – Current: “House” – Brilliant, anti-social, drug-addicted doctor. Announced today that this is its last season.
Medical - Past: “Grey’s Anatomy” (with original cast). This show ran its course several seasons ago.
Sit-com – Current: “The Big Bang Theory” – Unique nerdy comedy with excellent chemistry (or should that be “physics”) between the characters.
Sit-com – Past: “Taxi” What a crew! Danny DeVito, Andy Kaufman, Christopher Lloyd, Tony Danza, Judd Hirsch ,et. al. (Honorable mention: “Cheers”, “Newhart “, "Two & a Half Men" (with C. Sheen))
Sci-Fi – Current: "Terra Nova" - Good but not great.
Sci-Fi – Past: “Star Trek (original)”. This show was revolutionary as opposed to evolutionary. Great cast coupled with “morality lesson” story lines. (Honorable mention: “V” and a few later “Star Treks”)
Reality – Present: None. Too much of the S.O.S. every week (IMHO).
Reality – Past : None. Ditto.
Other -Currnent: "Jeopardy" The ultimate trivia (significa?) show.
Other -Past: “Rowin & Martin’s Laugh-In” The precursor of SNL. Another revolutionary show with a cast of future stars.
