* ''[[Modern Family]]'' captures the trials and tribulations of family life and parenthood without being corny, trite or put upon, and it's all credit to the writers.

* ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]'' there is a damn good reason we are still talking about this show forty years later and that the others ran for almost twenty concurrent years . The various shows pioneered so many ideas from [[The Worf Effect]] to the [[Story Arc]]. There is such an amazing balance of morality play and monster of the week and action adventure, they have heart and soul and character and so MUCH of it. "[[Star Trek/Recap/S3/E01 Spock's Brain|Spock's Brain]]" and [[Creator's Pet|Wesley]] aside the good far outweighs the bad. I have no doubt that forty years from now people will still be talking about the awesome that is Trek.

* ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]]'': say what you will about the ending there is no doubt this was one of the best shows on television period. From the breath taking pace of "33" to the brutal and horrific occupation to having some of the most amazingly fraked up characters around it was an fantastic emotional roller coaster ride that regularly had us saying WTF in the best possible way.

** Seconded. The characters in this story are amazingly written, so that even when they did absolutely horrible things, I always was on their side.

** While the ending, storywise, left a lot to be desired, character-wise it was an excellent close to their respective stories. The series was brilliant and even the weaker portions still had redeeming factors to them. In my opinion, the all time great sci-fi series.
