IMDB Rating:

Aired:  2001–2011 (WB/CW)

Episodes: 218

Genre: Drama

List Trivia: Placing right above Justice League is the show about Superman/Clark Kent: Smallville. Smallville also drops 47 spots from the previous year's list. PS Tom Welling looks super fine now.

Storyline: A young Clark Kent struggles to find his place in the world as he learns to harness his alien powers for good and deals with the typical troubles of teenage life in Smallville.

BOT User Blurb:

This is the show that got me into shows, I had always liked superman, but this is what really made me a fanatic of the Man of Steel, and it all takes place before he puts on the cap! this was one of the few shows that my whole family got into. and instead of focusing on all action it put the emphasis on character and the relationships between them. also the questions of right and wrong, what it means to be human and the bounds of friendship Tom Welling was a great Clark Kent, and he just made you want to be a better person. and Erica Durance is still the best Lois Lane if you asked me. sure it had it's fair share of cheese, but somehow it worked with this show. Smallville is awesome and very special to me.

Yay, someone else put Homicide on their list and #1 at that.  I don't know who it was, but I highly recommend The Wire to that person.

So it seems the only anime to get to the top 100 (and hopefully the top 50) is dragon ball Z with Bleach, Naruto, FMA:BH and FMA coming the closest. If only those 4 would have been in the top 100 too....

And to think that I could have single handedly brought all of them (except FMA) to the top 100 by placing them just one or two spots higher...

Pokemon is coming. I know it is.

[Infernus]

Since the best spiderman TV series ever has already appeared at 101st spot, I am guessing that the list is going to be completely devoid of spiderman and maybe even marvel itself whereas Batman:AS will be there in the top 25. That really sucks.
