Genndy Tartakovski, who made Samurai Jack (and I would have picked it if it was still on here) was chosen to make Clone Wars. Bit of Trivia, Aku is actually Japanese for evil.

The shows i´m watching nowadays:

- Battlestar Galatica (i simply love this show and have all the episodes of the first season + the miniseries taped.... can´t wait for the second season);
- Farscape (i´m still in the 3rd episode of the 4th season, but i´m noticing that the series started to lost some steam after the third season);
- Andromeda (i´m still at the beginning of the 4th season, and in this series too i´m noticing that the plots are getting more confuse em boring, but up to the third season the show is one of the best space operas around).
- Smallville (just watched the "Blank" episode of the 4th season and think this is one of the best series around, in my personal ratings it takes second place after BSG)

Shows i started watching and found boring/stupid/not my style and stoped:

- Stargate SG1 - just wathed the first 3 episodes of the firsts season and simply could not stand the translation thing: how everyond in all planets speak english? without any kind of Universal translator or another excuse?

- Stargate Atlantis - same of the above.

- Lost - watched the first six episodes and, while somewhat fun, the show is simply not my style...


Shows i´m plannig to watch:

- Firefly - everyone is talking about this show and i´m curious to watch it, but i´m a little confused with the episode order... how is the best order for watchiong the episodes? And is best to watch the movie before the series or vice-versa?

Battlestar Gallactica - well, duh...
Alias - the plot this season has been nicely twisted again
West Wing - the best-paced drama since season 1+2 of ER
House - always a hoot; brutally truthful about people in general
Numbers - kinda cheesy, but fun
CSI:Miami - some of the best special effects on TV right now

Man you gotta love Tivo... I never miss ANY of these anymore!

Woot!

I got bored with smallville. The repetative use of 'Green rocks mutate someone' to provide plot turned me off.

A list of shows I love to watch:

1) Jeopardy! I love this fast-paced game show. It's the ultimate test of knowledge. And today I called grandma to see if she got the Final Jeopardy Question like me. 'One of the 10 most populous cities in the U.S. is found in the book of Revelation'. Anyone?

2)Golden Girls. I love this hilarious classic. I need to laugh like that when I first wake up.

3)Alias. What can I say about this great drama? The first and second seasons were splendid. The fouth is getting back to that splendor it once had.

4)Nanny 911. This shows makes you think twice about having little imps of your own.

5)Oprah. Yes! You heard me right. I will at times watch Oprah. It really depends what her shows is about. But when Jeopardy comes on I always flip the channel.

6)Good Eats. I love this cooking show. The best cooking show on TV.

7)Everybody Loves Raymond. Now I just watched the last episode, I'm all sad.

8)60 minutes. I love their interesting stories and who doesn't love Andy Rooney?

These are the main shows I watch habitually. I'm more into movies these days so I don't watch much television anymore.

I mostly watch movies or sporting events, but these are my top 10 series -- although viewing gets pretty spotty after #6

1. BSG
2. Stargate:SG1
3. Boston Legal
4. Smallville
5. Stargate:Atlantis
6. Andromeda
7. JAG
8. Medium
9. King of the Hill
10.Las Vegas

I've heard pretty good things about Alias but only been able to check it out once or twice.
EDIT: I did watch Enterprise, and was pretty disappointed the way the series ended.
