My favorite show on TV right now, and one of the most (if not the most) beautifully shot shows of all time. It even makes horrific murders look downright inspiring.

So much of this show was so bad that I almost didn’t put it on my list, but I loved the early stuff so much I had to include it.

I only just finished this show and it’s already one of my favorites. It has it’s problems and is inconsistent, but that’s forgivable given they were only allowed to make 14 episodes. And to the executives at FOX who poorly marketed and then cancelled this show halfway into it’s first season:

The Simpsons run from season 3 to 8 is my favorite collection of episodes of any show. It’s so good that even with the 16 following mediocre seasons (though 9 is still really good, and 10 is okay) is’s still my favorite show of all time. Plus, it gave birth to my favorite gif ever
