Television shows I
[want to watch](#to_watch) and
[have watched](#watched).
![good](/good.png) I liked,
![ok](/ok.png) were just ok,
![bad](/bad.png) I didn't like.
Also see [other lists](/space/lists).

Naturally, this isn't comprehensive - I've watched plenty of shows that aren't
on this list - and it's biased toward my taste. I tend to prefer scripted
comedies and serial dramas. Also, I don't actually have a TV, much less cable or
satellite, so I watch on sites like
[Hulu](http://www.hulu.com/),
[Netflix](http://www.netflix.com/),
[Fancast](http://fancast.com/), and
[Boxee](http://boxee.tv/) instead.
