We live in a time where there are countless shows on TV. There really is something for everyone, and we have so much access to shows. If you don’t have TV, there are streaming services where you can watch your favourite TV shows, or discover new ones. Here are some TV shows I love to watch, current and cancelled.
TV Shows
Before we dive in I want to clarify. I’m not reviewing the TV shows and I’m not going to give any spoilers. This is simply a small list of some of my favourite TV shows at the moment and brief summaries about them, and who they star. So, with that out of the way, let’s go.
Almost Human
A futuristic show starring Karl Urban and Michael Ealy. Criminals use technology and medical advances to rage war, and the police are outnumbered. They partner with robotic police officers to combat these threats, but one cop (Karl Urban) doesn’t get along with these so well. He ends up getting partnered with an older version of police androids that were decommissioned. Together they solve mysteries and save lives.
The Pilot aired November 17, 2013 and the show lasted for 13 episodes before ending. I really wish that this TV show would have continued. It was really well done and ended with the possibility of a lot more. There were many unanswered questions. The show aired on Fox before the network pulled the plug, preventing a second season.
Supernatural
This show might not need as much of an introduction, but I’ll go ahead for those who have never seen it. Supernatural is a show about two brothers played by Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki. The first season starts with the brothers road tripping across the country in search of their dad, who has gone missing. While they do this, they hunt the supernatural, saving people’s lives.
Supernatural’s pilot episode aired September 13, 2005 and lasted for 15 seasons! One of the longest running TV shows, I believe I heard that it is the longest running horror TV show. The two main actors still attend conventions to spend time with fans, even though they have moved on to other projects. After Supernatural ended, there was a 1 season spinoff called The Winchesters. Jensen Ackles did bring his character back in this show, but I won’t spoil it for you.
Magnum PI
Now, I’m talking about the new reboot of the show starring Jay Hernendaz and Perdita Weeks. The show, at the beginning, had everything I enjoyed. Lovable characters, mystery, action, and a great story line. I’m not much for romance in shows, and if it is there, I prefer it to be in the background. As the show has progressed, they have brought romance a bit more to the front, but it is still less than everything else.
Magnum PI was rebooted on September 24, 2018 and is now on Season 5, after the show was saved by NBC after CBS dropped it. There was a season where I did feel like there was a plot hole, a mystery that was never solved. However, I really want to try and not do any spoilers, so I’ll let you all watch it yourselves. Plus, who doesn’t want to see Hawaii, even if it’s only on television.
So many TV Shows
There really are so many TV shows that I enjoy, and my interests are constantly changing. Sometimes I want to binge watch a TV show, and then there are times when I need to shelf it. This is not because I stopped enjoying the show, necessarily, but my interests have driven me to another show. I titled this one Part 1 because I couldn’t possibly cover all my favourite shows. If you all like this one, I’ll come up with a part 2. What about all of you? What are some of your favourite TV shows to watch? Are there any shows that have been cancelled that you wish would have kept going? I’d love to hear from you. I’ll see you all on Saturday with a new chapter and remember, anything can happen if we try.
