The Broke And The Bookish presents us every week a new top ten with a different theme. This weeks it’s all about favorite movies and/or TV shows! Since it’s too hard for me to just choose ten favorite movies, I will only give a list of my ten favorite TV shows. Which was quite hard anyway, since there are so many great TV shows out there…
1. Game Of Thrones: I actually started reading the books before watching this show… I absolutely love the show though! It’s beautifully done and with only ten episodes per season, each episode stays special. It’s a long wait for each season though.
2. True Blood: I have to admit I haven’t seen the later seasons, but the first few were really good. I’ve only read one book of the Sookie Stackhouse series so far though.
3. CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: I remember this being my favorite series when I was younger, although I stopped watching when Grissom left CSI. It just wasn’t the same without him.
4. The Simpsons: Gotta love this crazy family! I’m a cartoon addict and still watch The Simpsons almost every day, although I have to admit it’s mostly because there isn’t much else on the TV anyway.
5. House: House. Is. A. Genius. I love his sarcasm, his moodiness, his comments…
6. Rome: I’m a history fan and Rome is just Good. With a capital.
7. Chuck: If you want to laugh, try watching Chuck. It’s hilarious, although it’s mostly the first season that’s really good.
8. LA Ink: I love tattoos, and Kat Von D is just REALLY good with a needle. I love hearing about the stories behind the tattoos too.
9. Lost: The first seasons were great, but I didn’t enjoy the last few as much… Still a great show.
10. 24: For all those nights I just want to see some action…
I’m always hesitant to watch tv shows based on books I like, I’ve been too often disappointed. (Legend of the Seeker and The Dresden Files) I did watch the first season of True Blood and read the first couple books. My sister said the latter seasons have deviated too far from the books, and it isn’t good without the mystery story line. Top ten lists are hard, at least it’s not favorite books though, right?

I totally agree; I don’t think I would be able to put together a list of favorite books… There are just too many of them. And it always makes me uncomfortable when I realize a movie or TV show is based on a book, because I normally prefer the book version. Game Of Thrones was an exception where I liked both versions, although I did find it annoying that they changed quite a lot of important details later on in the show. If a movie or TV show has to be based on books, I want it to be faithful to the original story…

It’s been ages since I’ve seen an episode of The Simpsons but I clearly remember it being part of my after-school television scheduling! Ahhh the nostalgia!
Cheers,

The Simpsons sure bring back great memories! I even used to watch the show in different languages for language practice. 😉 Other cartoons that bring back memories are Tom & Jerry and The Pink Panther; I remember loving those shows!
