Ok so the year still isn’t over, but its time I think for me to recap over the years Televisual events and once more tell you what you must be watching (unless you have metal problems), and what you mave have missed (shame on you!).

Father of the Pride
What can I say about this show that I haven’t said before? nothing! the americans hate it I love it watch it its comming to SkyOne next Year so just do it already.

Angel
TheWb put the stake in “Angel” last spring but not before the “Buffy” spinoff managed to once again remind us how brilliant it could be. In “Smile Time,” the vampire with a soul is turned into a puppet while investigating sinister doings at a children’s TV show. Alternately hysterically funny and very very creepy, the episode managed to send up not only children’s TV but the “Angel” series itself.

Lost
Here’s just one example of why ABC’s plane-crash drama, "Lost," is so fascinating. On a recent episode, fan favorite Hurley decided to take a census of the crash survivors, using the passenger manifest from the flight. It seemed like an amiable plot device until he discovered that one of the mysterious passengers was never on the manifest to begin with. Who was he? Where did he come from? Why was he there?  "Lost" pulls these kind of spine-tinglers out of the air every single week. I’d read a rumor that each "Lost" writer drew three character names out of a hat and wrote complicated backstories for them without consulting the others. If true, that’s a fabulous example of a writing-class exercise taken from the classroom to the small screen, with intriguing results.  

Desperate?
Every show with a blend of soap opera and mystery will be compared to "Twin Peaks" these days, but "Desperate Housewives" seems to be avoiding many of the traps "Peaks" fell into. The ABC drama has developed a number of families with distinct quirks and problems, yet kept them all likable. Even Eva Longoria’s character, Gabrielle, who’s cheating on her husband with a teen and managed to get her mother-in-law re-hooked on gambling, is hard to hate. While the show’s voiceovers from deceased housewife Mary Alice can be annoying, her suicide has stirred up one of Wisteria Lane’s most deliciously creepy mysteries: Who was the body in the chest,  is it the same as the mysterious Dana, and if so, what happened? Like the old-time radio serials, it’s tough not to tune in next week, hoping to find out.

I've had this link for a while but only remembered to bring the magazine into work today:
