Top 5 Shows That I Miss

I will admit in high school I did not watch a whole lot of TV. It wasn't until I moved to Denmark and had months of nothing to do while I waited for paper work and school to start that I really started watching TV series. Now, being in Denmark I didn't really have easy access to a lot of the American TV shows, but I managed to find old episodes online.

Now I am a TV series junkie, and will watch almost anything, but I have my favorites (save those for another week). However, there are a few series that are no longer playing... that I miss. Here are 5 in no particular order:

One Tree Hill

This was probably one of the first series I started watching in Denmark. And I fell in love with it right away. I think I probably watched the first 3 seasons within a few days. I even continued to watch when they made the jump from high school to adulthood, which they managed to do okay with. I was very sad to have it end.

The Tudors

Another one of my favorites and ones that I watched early on in Denmark. I loved this show so much that I made sure to have episodes of it on my laptop for when I was in the hospital in labor with my first. The show did run its course though.. but I would LOVE for them to do the story of Elizabeth.

Firefly

Not my usual genre, but my husband got me into this one. I really think it is Nathan Fillion's charm. This is one series that ended way too soon!

Merlin

This one is more recent. I loved this show. It was actually one of my favorites playing at the moment. I had no clue it was ending until I watched the last episode. I was devastated! I cried. I am really not sure what will fill magical/historical TV needs at the moment (okay Game of Thrones has helped a bit).

Veronica Mars

I couldn't leave this one off the list. This was one of those TV shows that I had heard about, but didn't think it was something I would enjoy. Wrong. This was such a fun series, it was pretty sad when it ended. However I am super excited about the movie that will be made due to their kickstarter project! If I could, I would donate just to get a digital copy of the movie.

So there is my 5 list for this week, but honestly there are a lot more series missing from this list! What are yours?

Wednesday Top 5 - TV Guys

Okay so I know I said Wednesdays I would be writing a story and posting it here each week. Well I am just too busy for that at the moment. So instead I am going to do a Top 5 every Wednesday. Just for fun.

This week I am going to start with my Top 5 TV Guy crushes.

5. Jonathan Rhys Meyers from The Tudors

Did you watch the Tudors? If you didn't you really should. Great show with some great eye candy!

4. Ed Westwick - Gossip Girls
Okay.. so this means I have to admit to watching Gossip Girl. I will admit it. I can't say it was one of my favorite shows, more just something to fill some time with. But I always enjoyed the dynamics between Blair and Chuck.

3. Ian Somerhalder - The Vampire Diaries
I am not sure if I find him hot outside of the show. But Damon Salvator... yes please!

2. Matt Bomer - White Collar
Okay, seriously it was so hard to choose a picture! I love Matt Bomer. I try convince my husband that he should dress like him, maybe even dye his hair darker to look more like Matt. My husband just makes fun of me and reminds me that he is Gay and Matt will never be in to me. I am seriously jealous of Matts man.

1. Jensen Ackles - Supernatural
This is my number one TV crush. If I were not married with kids I would totally move to Vancouver and stalk the sets of Supernatural. I recently found out that he is having a baby in the summer. I  didn't even know there was someone else. I may have cried a  little.

Who is your TV crush?
