Welcome to another installment of awsome TV shows. TV shows are less plentiful than movies, so this series will last until I run out of shows.

1) 24

 

24 is a great show. For those who haven't heard, each season takes place in real time over the course of 24 hours. The story follows Jack Bauer and the Counter Terrorist Unit, as they fight terrorists and defend liberty and all that kind of stuff. The show is gritty, violent and very intense. Kiefer Sutherland gives an amazing performance as Jack Bauer. If you have never seen this show, give it a chance. 

2) The Simpsons

Quite an obvious choice, but I feel I must at least acknowledge this show in my blog series. It's The Simpsons. It's  been around for 20 years. It's good stuff.  The first ten seasons are the best, with the last ten lacking in quality. However, if you are like me your damn nostalgia for the shows keeps you watching, and you have seen every episode once, with some twice with no escape in sight....

 

3) Teen Titans 

 

Teen Titans is a childrens animated show, loosely based on the DC comics superhero team. In the show, this team consists of Robin, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Starfire and Raven. I have heard that many people do not like this show for its animation style, which is very Japanese influenced. All I can say is it never bothered me, and I really dig this show. It never becomes too childish, and some episodes I would hesitate to let a child watch. The villains and heroes are characterized well and the show ran for five years, with a really odd series finale that left many fans yearning for more. If you usually hate kids shows, give this a try. Its not nearly as good as BTAS or even Justice League, but its better than the crap Disney puts out.

Thanks for reading and comment if you wish. Until next time.

Teen Titans was great story wise, but the animation is god awful. It lacks the style, and feel so many other DC cartoons have. The Simpsons, hell yes.

To be honest, I love these newer seasons of The Simpsons over the older ones. Yes, I love the older ones, too, but I just got damn tired of all the "Bart's Heart of Gold" episodes that occur every time Bart does something "outrageous."
While the show started out as rebellious, like South Park, it quickly became nothing more than just a show with witty satire. I will admit, though, that some episodes are definitely overkill.
I still say my favorite episode is when they go to Japan.

1) 24 is the only live-action show I watch because of those reasons. I think it's better than Lost and Prison Break. I guess I'm just the kind of person who likes these kinds of shows. Kiefer's awesome too.

2) The Simpsons is classic. I honestly don't like the episodes where Homer isn't the main character. If he isn't, then most likely I won't like it.

3) I like the Japanese-like animation a lot, it makes it colorful and more... uh... "emotional" during the funny scenes (huge faces when yelling). They also use the Japanese animation in the show called Avatar: The Last Airbender, which, I think, was the best cartoon ever made. Anyway, yeah, I did like Teen Titans, but not too much.
