Now that the TV season is back full-blast, I think a "pull list" is in order
First, my favorite 10 shows on the air...
1. Dexter (Showtime)...this is possibly one of the best-done series on TV these days, after "Lost", "24" and "Prision Break" finished their run. C. Hall is an incredibly adept actor and the cast has always been incredibly selected, as well as the love interest and the villain. Looking forward to Season 6.
2. Fringe (Fox)...twist after twist, three very likeable characters, and a "real-life sci-fi" look, with very interesting cases. Last year´s cliffhanger was definitely the best one so far....where the heck is Peter?
3. White Collar (USA)...this has got to be one of the most fun series to watch, the chemistry between Peter and Neal is really funny, and the ongoing storyline mixes elegantly with the cases of each episode...I really wish this series had more episodes per year...
4. Criminal Minds (CBS)...this Behavioral Unit has been looking for unsubs for much longer I thought this concept could last (seventh season now) Great addition with Joe Monteagna, and a wonderful cast that keeps every season very much alive. Too bad about the spinoff, I think it needed another chance.
5. Psych (USA)...Shawn and Burton have got to be the funniest pair in TV today (Even though they dont have the exposure of say, "Two and a half men"). Every episode of this series has got me laughing out loud with the wackiest cases, and James Roday is just too funny! Waiting for season 6
6. The Mentalist (CBS)...Patrick Jane is a character in himself, I have never seen such an irreverent wise guy get away with so much sh*% in a serious TV series...the "Red John" saga has been intelligently laid out through the first three seasons, I cant wait to see how he gets out of his latest predicament-cliffhanger!!
7. The Killing (AMC)...I really hope this series has a second season, these guys make really great quality TV (The Walking Dead, The Prisoner, etc.) and The Killing had such deep character insight, so many twists during the series that you could not imagine until the last mintues of episode 13 who the killer was...hope it continues
8. Warehouse 13 (Sci-Fi)...This is one of my guilty pleasures, just to watch Artie, Myka, Pete, Claudia and the gang run around the world looking for artifacts, this show is just too much fun! Hope people out there are watching the end of season 3...
9. Modern Family (ABC)...You´re not watching this one? Come on! You really are missing out here...
10. NCIS L.A. (CBS)...Chris O´Donnell and LL Cool J...in LA? Fighting crime? Way too much fun, was the Top show in the U.S. for quite a few weeks...
Also watching, among others, Alphas, Haven & Eureka (Sci-Fi), NCIS, CSI (CBS), Covert Affairs (USA), THe Office (NBC), The Middle (ABC), Workaholics, Robot Chicken, The Listener, BOnes, Onion News Network...there are way too many shows out there....
Looking forward to new series
-Ringer (great debut!)

-Person of Interest

Happy Pilot Season!!!
