Day 01. A show that should have never been cancelled: Travelers
Day 02. A show that you wish more people were watching: The Fosters Day 03. Your favourite new show: Good TroubleDay 04. Your favourite show ever: Doctor Who Day 05. A show you dislike: Loose Women Day 06. Favourite episode of a show: Doctor Who - The Stolen Earth Day 07. Least favourite episode of a show you love: Doctor Who - Love & Monsters Day 08. Your favourite twist: The Good Place season 1 finale Day 09. Your favourite TV moment/scene: Stydia's kiss in season 6 of Teen Wolf Day 10. A show you didn't think you would like but ended up loving: Scandal Day 11. A show that disappointed you: Riverdale Day 12. An episode you've watched multiple times: Teen Wolf - The Wolves of War (series finale) Day 13. Favourite children's show: The Story of Tracy Beaker Day 14. Favourite male character: Isaac Lahey, Teen Wolf Day 15. Your favourite female character: Martha Jones, Doctor Who Day 16. A show that is a guilty pleasure: Homes Under the Hammer Day 17. Favourite title sequence: The Simpsons Day 18. Favourite theme tune: Doctor Who Day 19. A show with the best cast: Grimm Day 20. Your favourite friendship: Scott and Stiles, Teen Wolf  Scott and Stiles' friendship carries the show's first season, with Stiles being Scott's main confidante and source of help. Though both characters progress a lot, their friendship remains one of the strongest features of the show, bringing out the best in both characters. Their bust up at the hands of Theo in season 5 is honestly tough to watch. Day 21. Your favourite romantic couple: Monroe and Rosalee, Grimm  One of my biggest pet peeves about romantic relationships in TV is how they're all destined to fail. Very few actually seem to last, but this one was barely on the rocks at any moment. Monroe and Rosalee simply loved each other and there wasn't much more to it. One of Rosalee's best moments comes when Monroe is kidnapped by the Wesen tribunal and she has to race against time to find him. Seeing their relationship progress over the series was great too - dating and "taking it slow", to a relationship, moving in, marriage, and of course Rosalee's pregnancy at the end. Sometimes a simple love story is all that you need. |

Your favourite season/series finaleThe Stolen Earth/Journey's End - Doctor Who was thinking Orange is the New Black Season 4 as I loved how it played the fallout from Poussey's death and ended on a huge cliffhanger setting up a perfect arc for Season 5 BUT I couldn't not go with the finale of all finales, bringing together so many characters, as well as Daleks, Davros AND such a brilliantly devastating set-up WITHOUT it feeling like a huge fanwank. And THEN one of the best cliffhangers ever and I loved the hype the week leading up to Journey's End. It's moments like that where streaming really isn't as effective. Day 23. Most annoying character Rick Grimes - The Walking Dead I'll say it again for the millionth tme - his power trip is horrendous |

Day 22 - Your favourite season/series finale: A Regular Epic Final Battle (Regular Show)
(Was going to show a clip but I didn't want to spoil the finale for you) Regular Show has managed to do some clever hints of foreshadowing planned throughout its seasons, an example being in Season 7's Pops' Favourite Planet, which is about Pops wanting to see a planet that comes once every 25 years, this planet later being revealed as his home planet in Season 8, and has also constructed some brilliant arcs such as the lore involving the Format Wars that was introduced in Season 4. Most of the elements featured in the previous seasons come together perfectly in this three-part finale. Part 2 and 3 is where most of the highlights come in. Part 2 brings back Streaming, the antagonist of Meet The Seer voiced by Dr. Facilier himself, Keith David, and sets up the giant superhero form comprising of Mordecai, Rigby, and the other main characters, along with some characters the main cast has come across throughout the show such as the Baby Ducks, Death and Carter And Briggs (the show's version of Starsky And Hutch, if i can recall), the way the episode brings back these characters together makes for some incredible action. Part 3 shows the true final battle between Pops (Mega-Kranus) and Anti-Pop (Malum-Kranus) and it comes with some stellar animation, great callbacks to The Power (the show's first episode) and The Naive Man From Lolliland (a short that the show's creator JG Quintel made back in 2005) and a very tense score. The fabric of reality starts collapsing during the battle, with some of the side effects including the characters vanishing into Post-it notes and the letters of the show's logo collapsing to add increased tension. Then comes the climax, where Pops sacrifices himself to the sun, while latching onto Anti-Pops. It makes for some heart-warming exchanges between the two along with Pops' touching last words to Mordecai and Rigby through his mind. I got a bit teary eyed during that moment. The finale ends off with a brilliant scene where it shows the main cast's lives 25 years after the dome returned to Earth, while David Bowie's 1977 song Heroes plays in the background, which serves as a heartfelt tribute to Bowie who passed away a year before the finale aired, and it ends with that scene being on a television in heaven, with a tape coming out and Pops saying "Jolly good show" before fading to black. Overall, this episode was such a high note for Regular Show to end on and it makes for one of my favourite season finales. Day 23 - Most annoying character: Tyler (Big Mouth) I can't think of a lot of TV characters that have annoyed me but this one comes to mind. Now, Big Mouth's Season 2 managed to be an enjoyable TV season for me. From setting up a fantastic construction of the antagonist known as The Shame Wizard to looking at more struggles of the characters during their puberty phases that were established in the first season, it had many good things coming out of it. Tyler was not one of them. I found him to be pretty whiny and obnoxious and his tips for Nick during the second half of the season were not good. |

24. Your favourite animated show: Bojack Horseman
I mean it is The Simpsons - the unbeatable classic with SO many HUGE moments and thousands of brilliant characters but my favourite animated show of the last few years is most definitely Bojack. I was put off for ageeees but randomly gave it a chance after Rick & Morty (because I’d been put off by that too!) and so so glad that I did! I’m not normally a binger, and by that I mean if I’m catching up on a series with a few seasons, I normally take a few months or so between seasons to stagger it out but I became obsessed with Bojack and watched the first four one after another (not in one go!!!) and was gutted when it was over! It has brilliant pop culture references and hilarious jokes but deals with incredible issues so perfectly, I would recommend to anyone |

Catch up!
Day 22. Your favourite season/series finale: Twin Peaks S1 E8 I foolishly forgot this for best theme song (<3) and I've gotta use it for something. The first season of this was wonderful, weird yet so endearing from it's cast to it's mystery to it's aesthetic, and the finale raises so many questions yet keeps it tense and exciting. What a shame the middle of season 2 was such a tail off that I haven't even finished it yet :/ Day 23. Most annoying character: Marie (Breaking Bad) Oh I love this show so I hate to use it for a negative category, but wow what an annoying bitch, she just NEVER did anything other than whine?! I know Skylar gets a lot of hate too, but she was at least important to the main story. Marie's stealing subplot is one of the many reasons that it was very hard for me to get into this before the end of Season 2. Day 24. Your favourite animated show: Dexter's Laboratory See my commentary in the Favourite Animated Shows countdown for more info

Absolutely loved that. Plus the Playstation 1 games were *.*Day 25: An old show you plan on watching: Extras Going to check this out after Jake recommended and highly enjoying After Life. Day 26: Your ideal spin-off show: Class (spin-off of Doctor Who) Had absolutely no idea what to put for this, so decided to go with an existing one, however a few tweaks ensuring it's at least a little more successful than its parent show.  As much as I adored the series that we did get (I mean The Metaphysical Engine, Or What Quill Did is a fantastic piece of television), there was no real connection to Doctor Who at all besides being set at Coal Hill (even though it wasn't really "Coal Hill") and the Doctor appearing in the first episode for a passing second. Plus it really needed a much stronger villain from the start to grab Doctor Who viewers - ideally one from Doctor Who itself - as opposed to the Shadowkin looking awful, sounding awful, and cropping back up in every second episode.

Everything to do with the Black Hood was just becoming sensationally unrealistic and tedious to watch, and the current season while still mildly entertaining (just because it's there to watch) is more of the same. Find it hard to believe it's been renewed for a fourth season too, but we can only hope for an improvement in quality and storytelling.

Catching up!
Day 25. An old show you plan on watching: Firefly I'd say almost twenty years is fairly old x I've heard good things about it and it's not like there's loads of episodes! The first one was pretty good~ Day 26. Your ideal spin-off show: Cartoon Cartoons crossover I have no idea what to put here as spin-off shows are generally inferior, so I'll put a childhood fantasy I had of all the Cartoon Network Cartoon Cartoons - namely The Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Laboratory, Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy & Courage the Cowardly Dog AKA the best ones - having a kind of Who Framed Roger Rabbit animation/live action crossover and interacting with each other, it would make my 10 year old self squeal with delight *.* (not that this would ever happen, especially now that Dexter's original voice actor has died :'() Day 27. A show that deteriorated in quality: The Walking Dead I did get really engaged for seasons 2-3 and got the whole boxset of the first five seasons but S6 was a bit of a slog and S7 seemed to be starting out the same way so I've given up on it, I hear it's better now but I rlly can't be bothered. It just became too repetitive with the situations, main groups fights another group etc. and they made some awful choices with characters (Rick got less and less likeable, Carl was permanently an angry dullard and the Sharon/Abe thing was awful :/). |

Your favourite show ever: Doctor Who Day 05: A show you dislike: Most Haunted Day 06: Favourite episode of a show: Black Mirror - White Bear Day 07: Least favourite episode of a show you love: Homeland - Long Time Coming (4x12) Day 08: Your favourite twist: The Missing Series 2 Day 09: Your favourite TV moment/scene: The Office US - Wedding Dance Day 10: A show you didn’t think you would like but ended up loving: Game of Thrones Day 11: A show that disappointed you: The Walking Dead Day 12: An episode you’ve watch multiple times: The IT Crowd - The Final Countdown (4x02) Day 13: Your favourite children's show: The Fairly Odd Parents Day 14: Your favourite male character: Suits - Louis Litt Day 15: Your favourite female character: Torchwood - Toshiko Sato Day 16: A show that is a guilty pleasure: Coach Trip Day 17: Favourite title sequence: Game of Thrones Day 18: Favourite theme tune: The French Prince of Bel Air Day 19: A show with the best cast: Parks and Recreation Day 20: Your favourite friendship: James & Alyssa - The End of the f***ing World Day 21: Your favourite romantic couple: Marge & Homer - The Simpsons Day 22. Your favourite season/series finale: The Stolen Earth/Journey's End - Doctor Who Day 23. Most annoying character: Rick Grimes - The Walking Dead Day 24: Your favourite animated show: Bojack Horseman Day 25: An old show you plan on watching: Being Human Day 26. Your ideal spin-off show: Black Mirror: TCKR I definitely don't think the show itself needs to expand on the easter eggs/links anymore than it did in Black Museum but a show focusing on the apparent company behind many of the technological advances, TCKR would be interesting - delving into that world, the reasons for their introduction and like conspiracies around it. idk, spin-off shows are hard because a show's components are so natural that you can't remove one without the other There's looooads of obvious potential for Doctor Who just due to its nature and history but I think that's been covered about a million times with all the material outside the show itself Day 27. A show that deteriorated in quality: Primeval The first season was excellent and I loved the next two or so but I'm still frustrated at the lack of explanation around what went on around the Season 1 cliffhanger. It's as though they wanted a mini-reboot of the show without explaining anything. The seasons after it's cancellation didn't do anything to impress me, maybe I was too old for it at that point Day 28. First show you were obsessed with: The Simpsons it would technically be Doctor Who in terms of obsession but I guess The Simpsons would be the first show I truly loved as a kid and would watch over and over again. I know people would probably put it for Day 27 but I've probably watched (not in full) up to around Season 19 and I genuinely still love all those seasons and I can't comment on anything after |

Could quote whole episodes word-for-word and still laugh out loud while watching them every time. I remember watching older episodes for the first time in my grandparents' bedroom, then eventually watching them when they were on TV, and obviously watching the new episodes as they're released now (even if it has dipped in quality massively since it returned  ), but this will forever be one of my all time favourite shows.

Day 1. A show that should have never been cancelled: The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya
Day 2: A show you wish more people were watching: Mob Psycho 100 Day 3: Your favourite new show: The Promised Neverland Day 4: Your favourite show ever: Game Of Thrones Day 5: A show you dislike: The Asterisk War Day 6: Favourite episode of a show: A Loved One Will Always Watch Over You - Violet Evergarden Day 7: Least favourite episode of a show you love: Meridian & Profit and Lace - Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Day 8: Favourite twist: Higurashi - When They Cry - Season 1 to Season 2 Day 9: Favourite TV moment/scene - Lost - The Pilot Opening Scene Day 10: A show you didn't think you would like but ended up loving - Brooklyn 99 Day 11: A show that disappointed you - Steins;Gate 0 Day 12: An episode you've watched multiple times - The Inner Light - Star Trek: The Next Generation Day 13: Favourite children's show - My Little Pony - Friendship Is Magic Day 14: Favourite male character. - Light Yagami (Death Note) Day 15: Favourite female character - Leslie Knope (Parks & Recreation) Day 16. A show that is a guilty pleasure - Future Diary (Mirai Nikki) Day 17. Favourite title sequence - One Punch Man Day 18. Favourite theme tune - Braadio - Flyers (Death Parade) Day 19. A show with the best cast - Assassination Classroom Day 20: Your favourite friendship - The girls from A Place Further Than The Universe Day 21: Your favourite romantic couple - Sakuta and Mai (Rascal Does Not Dream Of Bunny Girl Senpai) Fiction is weird with romantic couples. So often it's used as the goal of the story and the problem with this is that the relationship ends up not mattering as we never get to see it. Or it's used for drama. Which is weird as I absolutely love watching relationships where the couples banter with each other and the relationship is clearly very healthy. So I'm going to take a really recent show that's produced a very unexpected and wholesome relationship, two somewhat abrasive people who find happiness in each other. Sakuta is perhaps technically punching above his weight but doesn't care that his girlfriend, Mai, is a minor celebrity and just makes bold declarations of love that are amusingly laced with at least two levels of sarcasm, while Mai never wants to admit how much she cares for him TO him but clearly does and it's so adorable. And because they're the main duo they do stuff in the plot that isn't about their relationship. Obviously it helps immensely that you both see the relationship form in the show and how it carries on in the face of problem solving the plot of the show, which is minor sci-fi stuff. So it's a huge cut above of most anime relationships I've seen (surprisingly few romantic ones exist now I think about it). should go without saying that relationships like B99's Jake/Amy are top tier for similar reasons, both remain their own selves, have a healthy set of banter and clearly love each other without it being overbearing. Day 22. Your favourite season/series finale - Fringe (Over There Part 1&2) Often I actually really underrate season finales because I focus more on the character moments a lot of the time and those aren't often involved in big action climaxes. And I want to include Fringe even though it's been years since I've seen it because I remember it uniquely having incredible season finales that focused (like the show) on slow, grand uncovering of a big world. Fringe is overall just one of the greatest barely remembered shows ever, I think, but this final in particular that opened up its true potential, and finally completed its morphing from its original premise as a sci-fi-tinged procedural to a show filled with beautiful alternate universes and complex character interpretations. It's a show I have nothing but praise for and I don't often say that for shows not among my traditional favourites that I watched years ago (I don't have any great desire to rewatch Heroes/Teen Wolf (soz Joseph)/Doctor Who at the moment) but Fringe, man, Fringe was incred. Day 23. Most annoying character - Yui (K-On) You know how hard it is for me to dislike an anime girl? I was struggling and then I remembered this one. K-On is actually a really sweet show and I know some people really love all the girls on it but Yui I cannot. Clearly made to be relatable to anyone who is super lazy, she's just so lazy that when I'm trying to get my comfy fix of cute girls being in a rock band but actually drinking tea she comes along and whines about having to do ANYTHING. She does get slightly better and I generally find it hard to hate characters but that type of character is the worst (see also Gabriel from Gabriel Dropout or well, comedy western animation protagonist like Peter/Homer but I have a contract with the anime industry to fulfil), I like watching TV to see characters who are competent at things and that character archetype goes against what I'm looking for. Day 24: Your favourite animated show - Fate/Zero Obviously it's gonna be anime, but it's a question between two for me. Steins;Gate, which takes a slow build of a plot, weaves it together slowly but masterfully before CRASHING down on you such that the second half will seem like a blur as you frantically watch it all in one sitting, or at least that was my experience, or whether it's Fate/Zero, which starts out with a beautifully explained plot where the end result is pretty much inevitable and yet that's all part of the experience, as tragedy, weight of character legends and incredible animated fight scenes build on top of the other from start to finish. I'm going to plump for Fate/Zero this time but it's so close, it's always oscillating. (also to break stereotypes, neither involve high school in any way shape or form  , as much as I do enjoy a good school setting)Day 25: An old show you plan on watching - Twin Peaks Along with Neon Genesis Evangelion, Battlestar Galactica and Stargate and Babylon 5, this is the only one on my list of old shows to watch that isn't sci-fi or anime. I've just heard it's really good and genre-defining and I've been saying I need to watch it for years now (and same with the rest of those). Day 26. Your ideal spin-off show - Angel Beats - Reincarnation Angel Beats is a comedic show with a good and diverse cast that is just far too short. Seeing the cast in new lives and possibly setting together some plot that draws all the main characters together, as the ending sort of teased but cut away from, would be pretty great. Day 27. A show that deteriorated in quality - Heroes/Misfits Easy stuff. Great and interesting first season, I actually somewhat enjoyed parts of the later seasons but they were absolutely nothing compared to earlier. As we're getting near the end let's chuck in Misfits too, essentially the UK concept of the same thing that also faltered after a fair few seasons. Day 28. First show you were obsessed with- Star Trek: Deep Space Nine I think I'm going to have to do my first repeat but getting to day 28 is pretty good and I used it for a negative category so it's okay. I was so into the mythology of Deep Space Nine to the exclusion of all else when I was younger, a Star Trek with a deep background story and way ahead of its time with arc plots. Many, many, excellent episodes of TV. |

Oh yes Misfits, another show that was weakened by it’s original cast leaving. Although I do feel it may have held up slightly better if they didn’t have to remove Lauren. I did like Abbey out of the new characters though!
