i find that a lot of overhyped icons have been made for legend of the seeker, sherlock, and dr who, but there are so many that it's hard not to find some actually really great icons in there too.
generally i find castle and criminal minds icons to be butt ugly.
i wish lesser known shows would get some icon community love, like grimm, raising hope, or white collar. there are actually a lot of good icons, made by some really unknown makers, and i think they all deserve some more attention.
haha i'd be outing myself pretty fast then! but yeah, i'm actually really interested in this thread so i can go icon-hunting for missed gems in a bunch of different fandoms. i have a good list put together for grimm already, maybe i'll get that up soon.
I've seen so many pretty icons for Legend of the Seeker, so much so I feel tempted to icon the show without even watching it - mostly because I hear the show is pretty bad. :/
And yes, couldn't agree more regarding Castle and CM icons. I think it's because the original caps are pretty bleak and hard to color. Also, both shows just aren't visually pleasing - I find it hard to be inspired by the caps.
legend of the seeker has really, really amazing videography, and an incredibly attractive cast. i watched it for that alone, and the campiness eventually grew on me.
I think procedurals have the worst icons? They're not hugely popular, so most icons come from people who can barely use graphic editors.
The best... probably all the popular British shows, lol. Particularly Sherlock, Doctor Who & Downton Abbey. And maybe Fringe & Lost from the American ones.

And so many different people are posting there these days too, so I don't think anyone would think twice about it.

I don't find my Criminal Minds icons ugly. :( (okay some yes, but not all. Reid is pretty I can't help myself.)
Also I've made some White Collar icons before. :D Before I got Photoshop though, so they mostly suck. :P
