If anyone has watched all three of the following shows then they are awesome.

75. Robin Hood (BBC) (2006-2009)
Action, British TV
Mega Mana's Ranking: Not on list

It's Robin Hood. Only Robin is actually english, he is fairly young, and is hilarious. This show is nothing all that amazing story wise (its Robin Hood, what can you expect?), but the characters really carry it. Robin is awesome, his former servant Much is a great comedic sidekick, the merry men are all excellant and aren't just generic followers, the Sherrif is a real love to hate character, new villain Guy of Gisborne is also excellant, and Maid Marion is the coolest she has ever been. If you like Robin Hood stories you definitely need to give this a try. I'm only 6 episodes in so far, but every episode has been good and I am looking forward to the rest.

A warning though, I've heard that the third season is a significant drop, and there are some spoilers that make me want to stop after season 2.


74.The Pretender (1996-2000)
Drama, Sci-fi
Mega Mana's Ranking: Not on list (yet?)

This show is paired with Early Edition in my mind, cause I watched both of them with my family, usually one after another. Pretender was always my favorite. Which shouldn't be surprising. As a nine year old kid what is more exciting then a guy who can do any job and just goes from one to another? It's a very cool premise and Jared was a very cool character. This was just a very fun show, and I always enjoyed watching Jared's adventures and The Centre's attempts to catch him. Just like Early Edition this is really a show I need to rewatch sometime.


73.The Lost World (1999-2002)
Sci-fi, Adventure
Mega Mana's Ranking: Not on List

This is probably one of the most obscure shows on my list. Imagine season 1 of LOST but instead of a random island, they are trapped in a land full of dinosaurs and the natives are extremely primitive. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Kate is based on Marguerite, only Marguerite is better (though that doesn't take much). Anyway, this was a great show for dinosaur lovers, with some fun and often ridiculous plots as well as some great characters. Just don't take the show seriously (it usually doesn't) and you will enjoy it.

Oh, and if you are a Farscape fan you can play "spot the Scaper" as something like a dozen or more major and recurring actors from Farscape appear briefly in this show. Yay for sharing acting pools!
