  • Honorable Mentions

  • Although it is a cable show, I did catch enough episodes of Battlestar Galactica to know it would make it on this list someplace if I included cable

  • Threshold - It was on a bad night, and it ended much too early; now I can only imagine what might have been...

I could make this list ten, but I think the top five concentrates my love much better...

I would add Boston Legal to this list. Great show with excellent and fun performances (especially James Spader and William Shatner).

My family loves this show. I like it in bits, fits, and starts, but like so many of Kelley's later works, it gets too cartoonish for my taste too often.

Gilmore Girls is my runner-up, and it would be very high indeed if the this season was as good as the last season earlier in 2005...

Shalom, y'all!
