francy_m79 mentioned doing this today on BF, and decided it might be something fun to think about and quickly post here...
In this list I'm going to leave out some old children's shows I think, or it'd be too hard, though I do want to send some shout-outs to "Arthur" (which pwns Merlin any day in terms of character development and continuity!), "Sabrina," "

Also, Fringe is the best written show in, like, the history of ever. Seriously. Gah! I can't even... Okay, so basically everything you and I hate about Merlin? It's the OPPOSITE on Fringe.
The best bloody character/relationship development I have possibly ever seen in my life. Every interaction is woven into the story each week, so you're never hit over the head with: "OMG PAY ATTENTION TO THESE TWO PEOPLE, WE'RE GOING TO DEVELOP THEIR RELATIONSHIP NOW IN A REALLY OBVIOUS WAY." It's subtle and all-encompassing and just happens so believably that you barely even know what's going on until it's already happened. The storylines are incredible and I don't even get bogged down by shipping at ALL, because the actual story arc/mythology is so damn amazing. The characters are endearing and complex and silly and perfectly flawed but lovely all the same. In the 2 and a bit seasons thus far, I can't think of a single "bad" episode. There are basically "good" episodes, "great" episodes, and "AMAZING" episodes. And the great/amazing episodes outweigh the good ones any day.
WATCH! Seriously. WATCH! :D

/service announcement, LMAO ;)

"Listen to the rhythm, listen to the beat..." ;) Lol, EXACTLY, same here, but it's such a great show and so funny even for adults...there are a LOT of jokes aimed beyond the targeted age group, and actually according to the internets it is something of a cult show, and Neil Gaiman supposedly did an episode! (Though I haven't watched any of the recent seasons). But yay for another fan! :D
And lol, okay then, thanks for the rec! :) I have heard from other friends how amazing Fringe is, and I do plan to watch it someday for sure, but good to hear all this too!
