I say Whedon could probably put on a show on ABC. They seem to have a thing for the actors he picks and aren't afraid to put genre shows on Thursday and promote the hell out of them.

Supposedly some are pre-screened and some are real contestants. That's according to an article I read a while ago so things may have changed by now. Still, I don't think game shows should necessarily be left out of this category and Cash Cab is one of the better game shows out there. I would put it second to

As a huge nerd…
I feel I have to mention Junkyard Wars and BattleBots.

Have to agree with Noel here. While I was late to the party, sometime last year I caught one of the Saturday marathons of this show and was glued to the screen for the entire eight hours I was supposed to be studying. But after that, I never have felt like watching again. Though I think I would say the same for

We Paid For It. Might as well cheer it on.
So I'm just wondering. Were PBS series like The War and Prime Suspect considered or were they looked over cause they were on PBS?

Boomtown
I was about to post that Boomtown should have been ahead of Eyes but something was bothering me. Then I checked and it turns out that it actually had two seasons.

I'm actually a little bummed Invasion is on here because it seems to mean it won't be the Best Of list. And in that one season, Invasion brought more suspense than a lot of shows ever did. And this was precisely because of all the buildup that was done in the early part of the season.

I really liked it too up until the point where it seemed like every episode involved a different crisis for the future president. And in the early days of the Bush administration this strained belief.

Confusion
The last sentence in the Wonderfalls paragraph? Is that supposed to be about Dead Like Me? Either that or the sentence needs some clearing up. It almost makes it seem like Pushing Daisies came before Wonderfalls.

What I would get my kids for Christmas if I had any.
What I like about this game is that its clearly the family version of the Rock Band games but its not pandering to kids by only including safe youth-approved acts. Instead, it serves as an introduction to Queen and David Bowie.

Last week they mentioned a New Year's eve type party as part of someone's Flash forward. It was a throwaway line cause it really wasn't interesting.

I wouldn't give them that much credit. I believe the reason they didn't do the Kanye bit was because their only black performer is too fat to pass for Kanye West.

Blazing Saddles
Even when its on a network that will censor all the jokes, I have to watch it. I usually just fill in the dirty jokes in my head and laugh anyway.

Hey. You're right. In fact we should go get some amish people. That way the moving pictures will really impress them.

Is it me or was V written by Glenn Beck?
The Visitors offer hope, change and universall health care. And then it turns out that they are part of a terrorist cell. Their secret plan is to get humans to "depend" on them.

The Berensteins vs Strangers or something like that.
There was one episode of the Berenstein Bears cartoon (which were really animated adaptations of the books) that really creeped me out. I don't remember the specifics but basically brother bear was propositioned by a stranger.

Zack
I don't know if it's the same thing you got but a couple of times I've had the feeling of being awake but still dreaming without being able to actually wake up. Once I was in bed and at the foot of my bed was a vampire or satan or something. It was the feeling of not being able to move that was the worst.

The Orphanage
The Orphanage is the only movie to creep me out so much where I felt I had to physically leave the theater. Interestingly enough it's actually a very cliched scene that I have seen several times in other horror movies. It's one of those scenes where the main character is in bed and you know that what's

I can picture it now. Calvin & Hobbes: March of the Snowmen

I'm not emberrassed to say that I watch this show because of Nathan Fillion.
I'm a die hard Firefly fan and if I can get a weekly dose of NF's quips by watching a bland murder mystery show then its no skin off my back. And the show has been growing on me more this season. I'm starting to like Beckett more this
