The Top 10 Underrated Movies

Okay, here we are: I have compiled a list of what i think are the ten most underrated movies. The movies can be underrated for a couple of reasons, whether it be critical reception, lack of people who saw it, or it's just a movie that not a lot of people talk about. So, lets get started:

10. Big Fat Liar (2002)

Frankie Muniz and Amanda Bynes, two good comedic actors who have effectively dropped off the face of the planet since the shows they were on ended, headlined this flick with Paul Giamonti. The premise is 14 year old kid Jason (Muniz), who has a tendency to lie, writes a story for english class, which is then stolen from him by a washed up movie producer who gives him a ride after he hits him with his car. Jason loses the paper, and then previews for a movie with the exact same title and plot begin popping up in theaters. So, Jason and his hot friend Amanda Bynes go to LA to get the producer to admit the truth, thus begining a funny and exciting revenge plot. I don't know how exactly this became underrated, but for whatever reason, critics gave this movie, which i found very entertaining, lukewarm reviews, and honestly, not a ton of people actually saw it. Don't know why, because this has tons of funny pranks, a few cool stunts, and some great set pieces. The truth about Big Fat Liar: it's pretty 'dern good!

9. Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith (2005)

Okay, so some of you might be thinking what a star wars movie is doing on this list. I'll tell why, and it's not because of negative critical response (this did pretty well with most critics.) This was the final star wars prequels, which a lot of my fellow nerds are offended by the existence of, save phantom menace, which most sane people actually like. Anyway, because Attack of the Clones was a bit... less than good, a lot of fans refused to acknowledge how great this movie was. Meanwhile, those of us who actually realized that anakin had finally stopped overacting were able to appreciate the film's epic battles, excellent score, and entertaining plot. For those of you who saw it, yes i realize the plot was kinda predictable, but that just made it more epic. I was in awe as i saw the events of the original trilogy begin to take shape in front of me. Give it a chance, and you'll be able to appreciate just how good this movie is.

8. I, Robot (2004)

This movie is further proof that critics are trolls (i appologize to the troll community if you feel insulted by this comparison) You see, most normal people who saw this thought is was really good, but those critics we all know and hade gave it mediocre reviews. Will Smith stars a homicide detective in 2035 Chicago who investigates a murder that may be linked to the robot manservants huge coporations build. The robots are programmed to never, under any circumstances hurt humans, so the murder raises a few eyebrows. There were great action seens, as well as some really good dramatic depth with Smith's character. You also had a great perfomance by Smith and the other actors, plus some cool special effects and a few funny one-liners. Despite all this, most pro trolls (once again, troll community, i appologize) couldn't warm up to it. Something to do with "it feels like an old sci fi novel." yeah, probably because it's based on an old sci fi novel, smarts.

7. Superman Returns (2006)

This was a good movie that just came in at a horrible time. Here we have a superman movie durring the peak of Smallville's popularity (granted, i've never actually seen Smallville, so i can't speak from the other point of view here) So, a lot of fanboys get upset by existence of another superman thing and wrote it off as terrible without actually watching it. Critical response was good but not great. Brandon Routh played the man of steel this time around, returning to Metropolis after a 5 year hiatus to find that, a. Lois is getting married, and b. Metropolis has become insanely screwed up. So, he suits up and, once again, encounters the nefarious Lex Luther. The plot in this one was very entertaining, plus some good performances, topped off with some nice action sequences. It really was just bad timing that lands this movie on the list.

6. Tron Legacy (2010)

Okay, I'm probably gonna get some crap for this one. This sequel to the God-awful 80's movie centers around Sam Flynn, the son of Kevin Flynn, the guy who was trapped inside the game in the original movie. Kevin's been missing for a little over 20 years, and after some news, Sam accidently gets sent inside the grid and finds him there. Fun ensues. For whatever reason, critics bagged on this movie for it's storyline, and, naturally, you've got the morons who were actually dumb enough to think the 1st movie was good (which it wasn't) who are insulted by this movie's existence. All this resistance to the film, despite some amazing special effects, mind blowing action scenes, a bit of amazing music by Daft Punk, and great performance by Jeff Bridges. Now, if you're a logical person and feel like being highly entertained for 2 hours, watch this movie. If you're a fanboy who refuses to acknowledge the fact that the 1st movie was written by a guy who thought computers were magic, don't bother.

5. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)

This here is dedicated to every idiot who still thinks that Indiana Jones meeting aliens is somehow a bad thing. These morons complain that it's sci fi. I got some news for you folks: IT'S ALWAYS BEEN SCI FI. You're trying to tell me that temple of doom wasn't sci fi. It's like with lost: it was always sci fi, it just hasn't been quite as obvious until now. And as Indy being old goes, let me just say: that matters why, exactly? Now, I know I haven't actually talked about the plot, but it's an Indiana Jones movie, so the plot is fairly obvious. So, if you're actually stupid enough to listen to what South Park has to say about this movie (I can't respect you as a human if you are) and are willing to forget about epic action, classic Indy-style action and mystery, Harrison Ford being a badass, and Shia Laboef being Shia Laboef, the skip this movie. But if you're sane and realize how entertaining this is, then you can understand why i put this here. Oh, and a brief note about George Lucas only making this to make money: newflash, folks: every movie is made with the main intention being to make money.

4. Yes Man (2008)

Yes. That's the premise behind this movie. What if one man who always says no only said yes to everything. This is classic Jim Carrey, who plays Carl Allen, a guy who only say no who says yes to every oppurtunity that comes his way after attending a self help seminar. A lot of people ragged on this for being a lot like Jim Carrey's other comedy movies, but honestly, is that really a bad thing? Short answer: no, it's not. Due to negative response from the trolls known as critics (another apology to the troll community) a lot of people didn't see this. But, most people that did agree with me in saying that this provided a very fun ride with quite a few belly laughs. Is this an immensly enjoyable movie: YES!

3. The Italian Job (2003)

Gotta give one to the local boy Mark Whalberg. This remake of some Micheal Caine movie from the 60s is a highly entertaining heist movie about a group of thieves who steal millions in gold bars from Venice, only to have one of their own steal it from them, kill their leader, and try to kill the rest of them. After picking up their dead friend's hot safe cracker daughter (Charlize Theron) they head to LA to exact revenge upon him by stealing everything from him. I don't get how i have to put this on the list, really. Most critics actually gave this good reviews, and everyone i know who saw it liked it a lot. But, for reasons i don't understand, a lot of people just didn't see it, and, for those of us who did, it's not a movie people really talk about all that much. But, you should watch it if you haven't seen it because of some thrilling action/heist scenes and hilarious comedy relief provided by Jason Statham (you may know him as the mechanic) and Seth Green (you may know him as Chris from Family Guy, but my fellow nerds may know him as Oz from Buffy) Here's a good job for you on a rainy saturday afternoon: watch this movie.

2. Hancock (2006 )

So underrated it's bizzarre. The premise behind this is "what if superman was a homeless dude." At least, that's it in a nutshell. Will Smith plays John Hancock, and alchaholic superhero who gets a needed image makeover from a PR worker (Jason Bateman). The fact that this movie has to be on this list is further proof that critics.... do i even need to finish that sentence? This movie gives us not only some of the most hysterically funny movie moments i've ever seen in my life, but also some fantastic dramatic depthwith the main characters, and some great performances by Smith, Bateman, and Charlize Theron. Watch, and if you have any taste, you'll probably like it.

And #1 is....

1. Serenity (2005)

It's a paradox wrapped in an enigma how this became underrated. With this amazing movie, Joss Whedon took his short lived sci fi show gem Firefly and turned into a movie, with the main intention being to answer the questions the show gave us but couldn't answer before being wrongly axed. It follows the renegade crew of the Firefly class spaceship Serenity as they experience... issues... with one of their crew. This was quintessential sci fi, packed with epic space battles and gun fights, fantastic performances by the main cast, which included Nathon Fillion and Summer Glau, plus some great questions about human nature. Critical response to this movie was great, and fans of the show were immensly pleased. I think the main reason for it's underrated-ness is that, because it's based on a tv show, people who hadn't watched the show were under the impression that it wouldn't make sense to them. I suppose that's true to a point, but i think, for the most part, anyone can enjoy this movie. Why? Because it's awesome, that's why.

Alright, everyone, thanks for reading and be sure to check out my site regularly for movie and tv show reviews as well as other top 10 list. Bye for now.

Episode Reviewed: 30 Rock The Ballad of Kenneth Parcell

Okay, at this point I can honestly say that 30 Rock is back to it's usual glory, providing a major laugh every  two and a half minutes. So, this time around, Liz and Jenna get into a fight and temporarily break up as best friends, causing Liz to meet herself with shorter hair and Jenna to spend time with Charlie bit my finger, Man Kind, and some random member of the Kardashian family. In other news, Jack tries to replace Kenneth and the other pages with an automated system, and Tracy begins to contemplate on his life in the most Tracey-way imaginable for a reason i cannot reveal in this review. This was way better than the last episode, with quite a few huge laughs and one of the funniest opening sequences i've ever seen. Final Rating: 94%

Episode Reviewed: 30 Rock Idiots are people Three!

The follow up to the previous episode, here we have Jack squaring off with Devon Banks (again), who, for those of you who don't know, is basically a homosexual version of Jack. We also have Denise Richards sponsoring Tracy's idiots rights campaign, Liz being conflicted about her boyfriend, and Kelsey Grammar playing Abe Lincoln (it's not what you think). This was a good but not great episode. I think it would have been better had they not made it a 2-parter, but it did have a few moments. Final Rating: 79%

Episode Reviewed: Touch Pilot

Sorry I'm late, folks, but you're favorite critic never disapoints. This was the pilot episode of Fox's new dramatic series from the creator of Heroes. Can he make up for the chaotic and slightly tragic mess the Heroes became? I'd say so. Touch is set in New York, and follows Martin Bohm (Kiefer Sutherland), single father who lost his wife in 9/11. His 11 year old son Jake is a mute who's obsessed with numbers. As social services begin expressing concern for Jake, Martin begins to notice patterns with the numbers his son keeps writing down. The show essentially plays with the premise that all lives are connected, and that the entire universe is a series of mathematical patterns. I'll be honest: I completely love this concept. There's also a backstory woven into this episode showing the connections between seemingly unrelated people. I could practically here "How to Save a Life," playing in the background, if you catch my drift. The entire show is laden with interesting philosophical and spiritual questions, which is much more entertaining than i'm probably making it sound. You also feel something for Martin trying to connect with his son. Honestly, this entire episode was just absolutely beautiful. This is the 2nd best pilot episode i've ever seen, beaten only by the pilot episode of the X Files. Watch this show and love it. It's hard not to and i think it will appeal to almost every type of audience. Final Rating: 98%

Episode Reviewed: Alcatraz Kit Nelson

Alcatraz is heading on up to the top of network tv food chain. And when you can say that after 3 episodes you know the show is good. In "Kit Nelson" child killer Kit Nelson, who kidnapped and killed kids, then left the bodies back at their homes afterwards, resurfaces, leaving Rebecca, Doc, and Emerson to deal with him. Like in the last two episodes, we learn a little bit about the inmates through flashbacks, plus some good mystery and, of course, a few twists, not only at the end but a pretty good about halfway through. We learn a bit more about Doc, and we get a glimpse into Emerson's mind. You see, thats what makes Alcatraz not a cop show: the characters actually feel like real people. I still feel like they could be doing more with Rebecca and what the story is with her grandfather, BUT, odds are we'll have all that and much more in due time. Final Rating: 85%

Episode Reviewed: Alcatraz Ernest Cobb

I'm in. It's official. I am in. In this episode we saw Rebecca and Doc deal with the return of OCD/neurotically insane sniper Ernest Cobb, who they must stop before he goes underground after finishing his killing spree. HUUUUUUGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEE twist ending on this one. I can't say much more without major spoilers. Final rating: 87%

Episode Reviewed: Alcatraz Pilot

Okay, before any of you say anything, YES, I DO REALIZE HOW LATE I AM WITH THIS REVIEW. There's no need to troll, but i have a feeling a lot of you will anyway. Now, with Fringe almost definitely in it's last season, JJ Abrams needs a new way finance his Star Trek movies. That new way is alcatraz. Set in San Francisco, the premise is that in 1963, every prisoner and guard at Alcatraz prison vanished, and now there coming back, starting with one Jack Sylvane. This show definitely has a lot of potential to pretty much be the new Lost (especially seeing how it's got about half the cast of Lost in it). I think that i can enjoy another totally arc-driven show, so long as they screw it up as much as what happened to The Event (don't even get me started) Now, as these inmates resurface, it attracts the attention of SFPD detective Rebecca Madsen, who turns to alcatraz expert Doctor Diego Soto for help. They then stumble upon an operation headed by an enigmatic man whose name escapes me, thus beginning a twist-filled, action-packed adventure. I reccomend the show and hope it turns out to be a good one. And so it begins...
Final Rating: 90%

Touch

Fox's new drama Touch premiers wednesday. it's a semi-scifi about a father (Kiefer Sutherland) who's son is a mute who sees connections through numbers in the world that allow him to possibly predict the future. it's a cool concept, and i'm looking forward to it.

Episode Reviewed: Grimm: Of Mouse and Man

Grimm is basically a show that keeps getting better and better with each episode. This episode played off of the idea of the mouse that becomes a lion (figuratively, that is) we have several murders portaining to a mouse creature and a snake creature this week. I want to tell you more, but since this is a mystery show, much more be major spoilers. BUT, i can tell you we get some more in the way of this season's story arch, as we have two people (it's unspecified as to whether or not they're monsters, but you can assume they are) staking out at Nick's house, but apparently they think that Juliette is a Grimm rather than Nick. Monroe also gets the living snot beat out of him by a couple of creatures, most likely retaliation for helping Nick. This week had a lot in the way of physocological horror, and the previously mentioned story arch that made me want to know even more just what was going on. Now, i'm not saying Grimm NEEDS to be totally arch driven, because they seem to be getting away with monster of the week and doing just fine with, but i think the arch is giving it a little extra something in the way helping fans stay hooked. Overall, though, yes, this was a good episode. Final Rating: 86%

Movie Reviewed: Red Tails

For those of you expecting Red Tails to be this year's big WWII action flick, you are spot on. Red Tails tells the true story the US Army Air Corps all black 332 squadron of fighter pilots. Set in the second half of WWII, the pilots were originally part of an experiment to see if african americans could fly planes. after the experiments goes well, their commanding officer (played by Terrence Howard, AKA Rodie from the 1st iron man movie) pushes to get them into combat. it works, and the pilots have quite a few epic air battles. also in the mix is a love story between one of the pilots and a girl in the italian village the squadron is based in and a "Great Escape" esque POW camp break out. This movie was just flat-out good: good acting, excellent special effects, some kick-ass air battles, a couple of hysterical comedy relief lines, and even some epic music. The only only beef i actually have with it is that you don't actually have an introduction to the main characters, but beyond that, i was highly entertained. Also, for those of you who want comparison to some other air battle movies, the only other fighter pilot movie i've actually seen Top Gun, and honestly, Red Tails completely blows Top Gun away. Final Rating: 82%

Episode Reviewed: 30 Rock: Idiots Are People Two!

This was the first part of a two-part episode, something 30 rock isn't really known for doing, but i'm not complaining. anywho, in this episode, tracy goes on a rant that seriously offends the gay community, who rally against NBC. liz issues a public appology for tracy, in which she calls him an idiot. in response, tracy rallies his fellow idiots in a protest outside NBC. for me that was the funniest seen of the episode. in other events, jack is in liz's head about her weird-ass boyfriend, and kenneth and jenna get into some trouble that only Kelsey Grammar can get them out of. overall, this was good episode,. with tracy having his usual in the way of hysterical rants, but i feel like liz didn't have enough good lines, and they could've done more with the kenneth-jenna dynamic. BUT, i enjoyed watching it, and that's all that actually matters. Final Rating: 84%

Season Reviewed: Sherlock Series 2

Okay, i know i'm a bit late with this one, but i've had exams this week and have been busy. Sherlock will be just one of many shows reviewed on screen archives, along with Doctor Who, Grimm, 30 Rock, Warehouse 13, and others. For those of you who aren't familiar with Sherlock, it's a reimagining of Sherlock Holmes, set in modern day London, created by Doctor Who Allums Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss. If you've never actually read Sherlock Holmes, don't worry, you don't have to to like the show. Now, like series 1, series 2 was comprised of 3 hour-and-a-half long episodes. Episode 1, "A Scandal in Belgravia," was basically the episode in which we meet Irene Adler, a character in the original sherlock holmes books. I definetely hope we see some more Irene in series 3 (yes, a third series has been confirmed). Episode 2, "The Hound of the Baskervilles," was easily my favorite episode, being just plain awesome. Episode 3, "The Reichenbach Fall," saw the return of Jim Moriarty, who wants revenge against Sherlock. Overall, i'll say that i liked this series better than series 1, mainly because of the more addictive storylines, but also because of increased character developement (sherlock actually seemed like he might be growing a soul!) and because we got a few glimpses into how the mind of our favorite genious with aspergers works. Sherlock Series 2: Final Rating: 94%

The Top Ten Sci Fi/Fantasy Shows

Here you go: my top 10 scifi and fantasy shows. I have videos for all of these up in the video section. Enjoy enjoy.



10. Star Trek (origninal series)

On for: 3 seasons (1966-69)

Movies: 7 (and counting)



Star Trek began with what Gene Roddenburry pitched to a room full of NBC executives as merely "a wagon ride to the stars." It became so much more. This was the spaceship show that launched all other spaceship shows, also offering a bright future in the less-than-hopefull 1960s (DAMN YOU LYNDON B. JOHNSON!!!!) The iconic Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, and Dr. McCoy are one of the ultimate trios. The show ended in 1969 due to ratings issues, but not after some great run-ins with Kahn, the Klingons, and the Romulans. The seven movies all pretty darn awesome as well, the best ones being The Wrath of Kahn and the 2009 prequel. Only reason this isn't higher up is because to 21st century kid like myself, the show honestly seems sorta cheesy. Also, i can decide: I like Kirk more than Picard.

9. Torchwood

On for: 4 seasons so far (2007-Present)

Movies: None (Yet)



Some of my fellow yanks may be fammiliar with the show from the recent Starz miniseries Torchwood: Miracle Day. Torchwood wasn't always this big, though. It began humbly as a mere spinoff of the mighty Doctor Who on BBC3 (for those of you who don't know, putting a show on BBC3 is the British equivalent of putting it in the Friday Night Death Slot; it's where you send it when you think it will fail miserably.) Created by Russel T. Davies, the show saw John Barrowman reprised his role as popular Doctor Who charcter Captain Jack Harkness in this show, which followed the enigmatic Harkness and his team who work for the Torchwood Institute in Cardiff, Wales, which apparently is built on a rift in time and space. The Torchwood team hunted down and captured aliens and other paranormal entities that had worked their way into Cardiff. After a weak 1st season, Torchwood found it's groove in season two by upping the action, character developement, and, frankly, writing quality. Season 3 is what really lauched the show with the amazing miniseries Torchwood: Children of Earth. And while i was disapointed by season 4, hopefully there will be more like season 3 in the future.

8. Buffy the Vampire Slayer

On for: 7 seasons (1997-2003)

Movies: 1 (sort of...)

The brilliance that is Joss Whedon came into public view with one of the most iconic cult-classic series of all time. Base on the God-awful early 90s movie of the same name, Buffy followed the adventures of Buffy Summers, the Vampire Slayer, or usually just the Slayer. Residing in Sunnydale, CA, a town built on a Hellmouth (giant evil majic vampire-pit) Buffy dealt with and slayed vampires, demons, and other assorted monsters with the help of her friends Willow and Xander, as well as her mentor Giles (aka the Watcher) The show still has a cult following that rivals even Star Trek, spawned the spin-off series Angel, perfectly combined drama with comedy relief, had well cast actors with great chemistry playing characters you actually cared about, and was just flat-out awesome. Do not watch the movie. It sucks (pun intended)

7. The X Files

On for: 9 seasons (1993-2002)

Movies: 2 (with possible 3rd on the way)



This show was indescribably amazing. Seriously. It's amazing. It's a work of art. The X Files came from the mind of Chris Carter, possibly the only true success of his career. It followed the iconic adventures of FBI Agents Fox Mulder (the beleiver) and Dana Scully (the skeptic) as they worked on the FBI's unsolved cases, dubbed the X Files. Naturally, most of these cases resurfaced and involved the paranormal, which Mulder is fascinated by and beleives in as his sister was abducted by aliens when he was like 10. The duo eventually came to trust only eachother, as, naturally, secret federal agencies within the US government wished to conceal the truth from them, the truth being that alien conspiracy theories, yeah their true man. The show was too awesome to put into words (for the first seven seasons, at least) But that can only mean some amazing stuff is on the way. The truth is out there. Do you want to beleive?

6. Star Trek: The Next Generation

On for: 7 seasons (1987-1994)

Movies: 4



Once again, i like Kirk over Picard, but i've simply seen more of the next generation. The Trek continued in this spin-off to the original, set 100 years later on the USS Enterprise D. Captain Picard and company trekked there way through the galaxy in a show that, unlike the original, was actually given a chance to succeed. At it's best, which it often was, the show was dealing with action packed story lines, which were good at balancing space battles with the relationships between characters. The show also produced the iconic villains The Borg, as well as dealt with favorites from the original show like Klingons and Romulans. It was just good, man. We are the trekkies, and we will assimilate you into fandom of our show.

5. Warehouse 13

On for: 3 seasons so far, as a fourth is on the way (2009-present)

Movies: None (yet)



Okay, this is probably the part where some of you flip out and say "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR NERDY LITTLE MIND?! YOU LIKE WH13 BETTER THAN THE X FILES!!!!!!?" Let me explain; i was introduced to WH13 before i'd started watching the x files via online reruns (i'm 15, gimmee a break!) and frankly, i like the characters and mythology more. Happy?! Well if your not than you can go sulk in a corner with all the falling skies fans (NOT ON THE LIST!) Anyway, the show follows secret service agents Pete Lattimer and Myka Bearing, who, after saving the president's life, are reasigned to Warehouse 13, a top secret federal facility in South Dakota that houses historical objects called artifacts that possess paranormal properties. They travel the world to hunt down and retreive artifacts before they ruin the world's day. The show has more twists than you can imagine. If you've never seen it, i reccomend it highly. Fans of the show do not yet have name for themselves, but i'm trying to get "eyebrows" to catch on (there's a character with eyebrows and... you know what, watch it and you'll see what i mean)

4. The Twilight Zone

On for: 5 seasons (1959-1964)

Movies: 1



Rod Serling did the unthinkable: he voiced his political views durring regime of Furher Joseph McCarthy (don't even get me started on that guy.) The oldest show on this list, Twilight Zone was a scifi anthologhy series that, each week, told a bizzare, frightening scifi story that ended with an unforseen twist. To this day, I, a 21st century teenager, find this show addictive, and even scary (don't ever watch it at night) while not the 1st of it's kind, Twilight Zone basically proved scifi tv shows could work (and it was better than anything before it) It was awesome in this weird kind of way: it's old, well-written, iconic and frightening.

3. Firefly

On for: 1 season (2002)

Movies: 1



Comming off his success with Buffy and Angel, Joss Whedon (only guy on the planet with the nerve to make a spaceship show without aliens) decided to try his hand at scifi in this short-lived masterpiece. Firefly followed the adventures of the renegade crew of the Serenity, a firely class transport ship headed by Captain Malcolm Reynolds. The crew aimed to misbehave in a galaxy ruled by a totalitarian goverment called The Alliance. The Serenity did it's less-than-legal work in the outer planets, where the alliance had little grip and even your basic white-trash thug is fluent in mandarin chinese (everyone in this show speaks english and chinese) Like Buffy, the show was action packed, balanced drama with humor, was well-cast, and the characters actually felt like real people who you couldn't help but feel a little sorry for even though they were criminals. Fox cancelled the show due to "ratings issues" but really they didn't want it to succeed in the 1st place (they put it in the friday night death slot, barely advertised it, and aired the pilot last.) Browncoats forever.

2. Star Trek: Enterprise

On for: 4 seasons (2001-2005)

Movies: none



I'm gonna get soooooooooo much crap for this. The least known of all the star trek series and one of the most underratted shows ever, enterprise prequeled the original series by 150 years and followed the crew of the 1st enterprise ship, earth's first warp 5 vessel, in the 2150s as humans are just getting out into space. It takes place even before the federation, and the humans are out there to meet and befriend as many species as possible. For reasons i can't fathom, the show wasn't too big with fans, even with the amazing stories involving alternate universes, the ancestors of Kahn, a cold war across time and space, and a season spanning story involving a possible war the Xindi. Go figure. I liked it.

1. Doctor Who

On for: 32 seasons so far (1963-1989, 2005-present)

Movies: 2...sort of, they didn't have anything to do with the show, it's complicated and they both sucked anyway....you know what...just forget about it.



The longest running scifi show ever, doctor who follows an alien called The Doctor, who travels through time and space in his TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimmension In Space) which is a blue police box that's bigger on the inside. How it's survived so long? The Doctor's species, the Time Lords, have a way to cheat death called regeneration. When they're near death, they can heal themselves instantly, but they look and act different afterwards. This has happened 10 times so far, and the doctor has been played by 11 different actors in total. The show can literally do anything and go anywhere, seeing how the setting is all of time and space, everything that ever happened or ever will. It's produced countless icons such as it's theme music, monsters like Daleks and the Weeping Angels, and is awesome. It originally premiered in 1963 on the same day JFK was assassinated, lasted 26 years, got cancelled, had a tv movie in 1996, and than in 2005, writers Russel T. Davies, Mark Gattis, Toby Whitehouse, and Steven Moffat revived it and it's beyond incredible. Watch it and love it. I know i do.

Okay, now you've read the list. This would be time for honorable mentions, but first here's a few shows you might be upset aren't here and i couldn't factor them in purely because i've never seen them, but i've heard they're really good:



Fringe

Supernatural

Smallville

The Walking Dead

Dollhouse

Battlestar Galactica

V

Lost

Babylon 5

Farscape

True Blood



Now it's time for honorable mentions; the shows i like but not enough to make the list:



Angel

Star Trek Deep Space Nine

Star Trek Voayger

Eureka

The Sarah Jane Adventures

Merlin

Twilight Zone's 1985 and 2002

The Cape

No Ordinary Family
