Favorite TV Shows or Best TV Shows

Up until now you've known me little, showing you the list of my favorite TV shows will help you shape the image of me a little bit closer to the true one (in case, of course, you want to).

See below a full list of shows I've watched and still watch, with details of their ratings, press and awards.

1. Grey's Anatomy - been active since 2005, now on its 8th season. The multiple award winning TV show averaged 22 million first season, on second and third season had even bigger ratings. That was about ratings. Now about the plot. It's about five interns, about their struggles to become surgeons, but also about their personal matters. No matter who you are you find yourself related to at least character. It's not that much about their professional lives as their personal lives and how manage or fail to manage what they face everyday. This show is full of tragedies, not made up but inspired on true stories, by watching and trying to understand you get immunized for similar situations in your own life. But also, you'll come to appreciate its humor. Great acting, great plot lines, great soundtracks. If you want a preview of the entire show watch this:

2. Desperate Housewives - active since 2004, now on its 8th and final season. You may be mislead by its title but I can assure it's not only about housewives, some of them work too :). There is comedy and drama - it's a dramedy. Filled with interesting plot lines and lots of cliffhangers. It's a show about families and how they struggle with their daily things, it's about children and different way of raising them, it's about right and wrong, and how you can make wrong right again. It's about people's mistakes, it show you the true definition of friendship, but more or less it shows you also what backstabbing means. This multiple award winning show (7 Emmys and 3 Golden Globes) teaches you valuable lesson without having go through all the bad things that happened to these characters.

3. FRIENDS - I've had my share of comedies but nothing compares to this one, it's truly the greatest TV comedy in the history. It ran between '94 and 2004, its finale was watched by 60 million viewers. This show it's filled with dozen of jokes per minute. It will blow you away with every single episode. I, for instance, watched it 5 times from its first episode till the last one, and I laughed as hard as I did when I watched it the first time. You'll learn on fast-track what true friendship means, it'll teach you how to stand for your friends, it'll teach you how to stay the same good friends for many years to come. It'll show you that falling in love with your best friend is possible, it'll give you comfort for the loss you have experienced and give you hope that true friendships may be around the corner.

4. House MD - a great competition for the aforementioned medical drama Grey's Anatomy, its ratings and success was not worse, sometimes better (and I am explaining it this way, people avoid feelings and run from crying scenes being to weak to face them). This show is based basically on one character - the sarcastic and deceitful Dr. Gregory House, who doesn't obey to the rules, either internal hospital rules or any other laws. People are trying to change him and make him a better man who would actually feel for his patients, despite the fact that he is only one who treats cases that no one else can, he is the genius of the diagnostics. Throughout the series you see him as a genius doctor and a drug addict (after suffering a trauma got addicted to Vicodin) who is uncertain about where this gift comes from, his awesomeness or his addiction to Vicodin, or both ? Watching this series you'll love his sarcastic sense of humor and his way of treating patients, who according to him everybody lies.

5. Suits - it's a drama on air since this year (we're still in 2011) and is about Mike Ross, a college dropout who's dreams of becoming a lawyer got ruined in some unfortunate circumstances and who makes a living taking LSATs for other students. Thankfully for his amazing memorizing skills gets hired in a law firm by Harvey Specter, one of New York City's top attorneys. Once Mike does not have a degree, he and Harvey pretend that Mike is a Harvard alumni. You'll find this series particularly interesting to watch grace to its characters chemistry, Mike's eidetic memory and law knowledge, Harvey's kicking-ass techniques and many other things. This series has been classified as a hit series of 2011 and already got nominated for its first Screen Actors Guild. Watch the promo below and be struck by the its genuine acting and performances.
