So this is my version of the A to Z Challenge Television Style. I am listing the shows having the biggest impact on me, not necessarily the best shows in each category. I thought they were the best when I was watching them.
See the whole list of A's Here!
Avatar – The Last
Airbender (2005-2008)
In a war-torn world of elemental magic, a young boy
reawakens to undertake a dangerous mystic quest to fulfill his destiny as the
Avatar, and bring peace to the world.
Stars: Dee Bradley Baker, Zach Tyler, Mae Whitman
So this is not an error, yes, this is a
cartoon, animation. And if you question why it is on the list you have never
seen the series (obviously). With the exception
of a horrible attempt at a movie adaptation,
this is pretty close to a perfect series. My whole family enjoys watching these
repeatedly. The story is active, thought-provoking
and timeless, the characters original, heartfelt
and many times more human than live action actors. I simply cannot say enough about
this groundbreaking series. It showed
exclusively on Nickelodeon and can be watched by any age group. If you have not
watched it, do it. Now. Seriously. Now.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D (2013-Present)
After the Battle of New York, the world has changed. It
now knows not only about the Avengers, but also the powerful menaces that
require those superheroes and more to face them. In response, Phil Coulson of
the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement,
and Logistics Division assembles an elite covert team to find and deal with
these threats wherever found. With the world rapidly becoming more bizarre and
dangerous than ever before as the supervillains arise, these agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
are ready to take them on. Written

Stars: Clark Gregg, Ming-Na Wen, Brett Dalton
I have to give kudos to Marvel for the
success of this show. While some of the characters annoy me, I will watch for
the rest of them, especially Agent Coulson. Started off a little slow but has steadily
picked up speed over the past two years. With exciting storylines and crossovers into the movies,
(take note DC) Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D is good old-fashioned fun. (and yes I HAD
to spell out S.H.I.E.L.D. correctly, or
my son would have scolded me relentlessly!)
Agent Carter
(2015-2016)
In 1946, Peggy Carter returned to secretarial duties in the Strategic
Scientific Reserve (SSR), despite her pivotal
role if the fight against Hydra. Accused
of treason, the famed Howard Stark
secretly recruits Peggy to clear his name with the help of his butler, Edwin
Jarvis.
Stars: Hayley Atwell, James D'Arcy, Enver Gjokaj
I didn’t see the original Captain America movie until after I watched Peggy Carter. The
attraction and hook of this show are simple – Hayley Atwell. She is such a brilliant and talented actress.
I enjoyed watching her muck it up and prove the big boys wrong week after
week. So sad when the series ended, but
I had fun while it lasted!
