I know that few people here have any strong opinions about TV shows :). But for anyone who does, there is a new website that lets you rate and comment on your favorte (or despised) TV shows: [www.tvratingz.com](http://www.tvratingz.com). It doesn’t require any sign-up or membership in order to rate or comment on a show or to add a new show to the list (they do have a membership option that lets you reply directly to comments and participate in their forums). Even if you don’t add any ratings, it’s interesting to see how certain shows rank. There aren’t that many ratings yet, but currently the top-ranked shows are _24_, _Prison Break_, _Get Smart_, _Veronica Mars_, and _Charmed_. The show with the most ratings is _Ghost Hunters_ (although methinks there may be some ballot-box stuffing going on).

Full disclosure: This is a commercial website (advertiser supported), but I think it’s fun and interesting to anyone who watches TV. I am not directly affiliated with it, but it is run by friends of mine. Also, I **did** contact the CS mods first, and have received permission to post this link (once; so if you see me post it a second time, then you can complain).

The mods gave me permission for one bump, so this is it.

Kind of fun – but no “reality” category? :mad:

the ratings are very brief… appreciate the link but it is hard to take others’ word on what is good… i give it a neutral “eh”
