Supernatural- This is a show where every single episode of each season MUST be watched (and in order) or you’ll get totally lost! All the seasons are excellent, so start at Season 1. Seasons 1 thru 7 are out on DVD and Season 8 is currently showing on The CW on Wednesday nights. According to several reliable media sources, there will be a Season 9 next year.
Smallville- It’s the story of Superman growing up from a shy, sweet teenage boy going to high school in Kansas and evolving into the Man of Steel! The creators of the show did justice to the Superman story and I loved it! There are 10 seasons of the show but Seasons 1-7 and Seasons 8-10 almost seemed like two different shows. Two of the show’s stars left at the end of Season 7, Lana Lang and Lex Luthor. So Clark Kent suddenly lost his the love of his life (or at least his love since
Season 1) and also his future nemesis at the same time. So Season 8 definitely felt different, but it also marked the beginning of Clark’s journey to discover and truly embrace his destiny. I highly recommend!
Arrested Development- This series originally lasted just three seasons ending in 2006. They’re currently finishing up Season 4 that just started filming in late August 2012. I still watch all of these from the beginning every now and then and they are truly a work of comedic art! 
I wasn’t born until 1975, but from a very early age I grew up watching some of my mom and dad’s favorite shows. I developed a devout appreciation, reverence even, for a few classic comedies from the early 70s-
**Sanford & Son- **The show lasted six seasons and all are available on DVD. This show has earned a place in history as the first series with all African-American main characters. It is very special to me and always will be because it was the one show that I could enjoy with my dad and the only time I ever saw him laugh or seem happy. I grew up in a rural North Georgia in an all-white small town. The first time I met a black person was my first day of high school. But the only preconceived ideas I had about black folks came from Sanford & Son. I thought all black families would be that much fun and couldn’t wait to meet my first black friend’s family when he invited me over for dinner. His mom, dad and sister were all lovely dinner companions and I enjoyed it very much, but I was still very disappointed that Aunt Esther never showed up shouting “Oh, Glory!” or calling me a “fish-eyed fool”! =) Comedy Gold!
The Carol Burnett Show- this was the show I watched with my mom starting as a toddler. By the age of 10, I idolized Carol Burnett and Lily Tomlin as two of the greatest comedians ever and I still feel exactly the same about them!
