If How I Met Your Mother ends with a satisfactory ending - I believe it will slide up. There's a lot of shows that I could think to put ahead of Dexter. Criminal Minds. Veronica Mars. Californication. Entourage. But even a couple of Dexter's "poor" seasons - no other show is like it (that I've seen) and I just love Michael C. Hall.

What would you consider a satisfactory ending? The obvious Barney+Robin pair pisses the shit out of me because I loved Nora and The Stripper whose name i forgot and Kal Penn was even pretty good. If they don't end up together I'll be good with whoever Ted ends up with (as long as it is not Robin of course).

The mother is clearly an artificial womb in a lab.

1. The Wire
2. Breaking Bad
3. Fringe

OUR TASTES ARE NOT SO DIFFERENT, FE

That's actually a really good question. I think the best way to answer it is this. I loved Victoria. I think she is just the absolute best person Ted has been with. I loved Stella for her storyline and what she meant to Ted and (therefore) the show. I loved Robin because it was established early on that she would never be Ted's "one" and that allowed for some great storytelling (season 2, every other time he got into a relationship with her). Zoey is kind of an "eh" - don't think she added much.

For me, the person he ends up with has to just give that little extra something. Something that makes me look at the other relationships he's had and go "Nope, I want him to be with X. That makes the most sense."

Or, you know, just marry Victoria and somehow make that happen.

1. Seinfeld 2. Tales from the Crypt 3. Criminal Minds Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, and The Wire would be too easy to pick. Seinfeld, too, but I will watch episodes of if I've seen a hundred times over anything else.

Criminal Minds! <3

I am going to take my time to make my list. I watch and have watched so many shows that this is going to be so difficult
