Eclectic Choices
If who ever is actually reading this really cares... The list is somewhat in order of preference....
FYI. I do not care for shows like Friends, Lost, Trueblood, Vampire Diaries, Glee, The Office/US or How I met your Mother. But hey, as the saying goes "to each his own", right?
Anyway, comments and suggestions are welcome.
