I found it funny that overall I enjoyed the cartoons more than most of the live action TV shows I also watch.

Misfits is the show that completely took me by surprise at how much I loved it. None of the characters were immediately likeable but they felt like real people and I truly grew to love all the characters. The show is also hilarious and I just wish there was more of it.

I was also very happy at the quality invested in Game of Thrones. I was worried it would be like Legend of the Seeker. (Not that I didn't find Legend of the Seeker highly entertaining but it had a rocky start).

The show I don't admit to loving in public is the My Little Ponies, though my sister and I talk about it over the phone because she's watching it with her kids. But MLP is the show that makes me happy and is so funny and heartwarming. I need that in my life.

I also can't express how much I'm loving Young Justice. It's the show I have to watch right away. I love the entire team of characters and I'm interested in seeing what they do next.

Justice League lured me in and next thing I knew I was staying up late watching one episode after another and then I went and found all the movies and stayed up late watching those too! I discovered that I love Wonder Women, Hawkgirl, and Black Canary. I also loved John Stewart's Green Lantern (why they didn't use him in the last Green Lantern movie boggles my mind!).

Avatar I should have watched sooner because so many people had told me how awesome it was, and it was AWESOME! I couldn't stop watching once I started and season 2 broke my heart and then season 3 put it back together again. I wish I had the words to adequately express my intense love for all the characters and their journeys. I also appreciate that the writers didn't drag out the story until it was full of filler.

Doctor Who is Doctor Who. I love Matt Smith as the Doctor and Amy, Rory, River.
