Arrested Development

A show that should have never been canceled

The best comedy show I've seen. If you hate laugh tracks and appreciate subtle humor you should give this show a try. Deadwood and Firefly are my other favorite canceled shows.

Monster (2004)

A show that you wish more people watched

The only other psychological thrillers I like more than Monster are Vertigo and M (it was that great and suspenseful for me).

There are some mysterious elements to the series, but it's never cliché or boring. Monster is oftentimes emotional and poignant, and it's a journey worth experiencing.

Cowboy Bebop (1998)

A show everyone should watch

Cowboy Bebop is very enjoyable even if you don't appreciate anime too much. Cowboy Bebop is an extremely fun space western and if you have any interest in anime and bounty hunters it's worth a look.

Firefly

Your Favorite TV Genre – Space Western

Definitely recommend if you like Cowboy Bebop and vice-versa.

Mushishi (2005)

Your 2nd favorite TV Genre – Anime

Mushi-Shi is my favorite fantasy show.

The Decalogue (2010)

Favorite mini series - Dekalog

Don't be put off by the Christian themes. I'm an atheist and this is one of my favorite films (second to Greed). The film series can be viewed as an agnostic series, like the films of Bergman and Bresson, or probably more accurately almost agnostic like the films of Tarkovsky.

Dekalog I (1989)

Most favorite episode of your favorite t.v show.

I am the Lord your God; you shall have no other gods before me.
I hate the opinion that 'if x doesn't move you, you're not human', but if this film doesn't move you at all I don't know what to say.

Dekalog VIII (1990)

Least favorite episode of your favorite t.v show.

You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

The Wire

Your favorite show that isn't a mini-series

The Wire convinced me that TV shows can be great art, although I prefer films.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993)

Best scene/episode ever - In the Pale Moonlight

Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor Liberty to purchase power. - Ben Franklin

I love how DS9 confronted moral uncertainty and wasn't as tied down to the dogma of the well intention-ed but flawed prime directive as TNG or Voyager. In the Pale Moonlight makes the audience question if we want to be in the dark about the actions of our government.

FLCL (2000)

A show you thought you wouldn’t like but ended up loving

Fooly Cooly isn't too weird like I expected; it's a cute coming of age story and undeniably fun.
Episode 1

Dexter (2006)

A show that disappointed you and the most annoying characters

The majority of the show is about Dexter and the killers, which is very entertaining, but almost everything else is filler material. Think about it this way, would combining the events that happened to the supporting characters make anything more than a mediocre show? Would you watch that show?

Rocko's Modern Life (1993)

Favorite childhood show
Rocko's Modern Life is an insightful show for kids, with many instances of black humor.

One of my favorite episodes makes fun of the show.

Wonder Showzen (2005)

OMG WTF? Season finale

In the series finale a puppet asks people on the street 'What's wrong with TV?' in order to make compelling television; it was a surprisingly existential episode.

The Simpsons: Family Therapy (1989)

First t.v show obsession

The first ten seasons would make The Simpsons the greatest show ever; the show lost some if its charm when the show switched to digital animation, and slowly the writing became less funny and less touching.
