- CreatorHiromu ArakawaStarsKent WilliamsIemasa KayumiMatthew LeonhartTwo brothers search for a Philosopher's Stone after an attempt to revive their deceased mother goes awry and leaves them in damaged physical forms."Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood" came out on top of a list of highest-rated TV shows for 2009, beating a field of contenders that included critical and ratings hits such as "Parks & Recreation," "Archer," "Community," and "Modern Family." The series is a reboot of an anime series from 2003, which is also featured in IMDb's Top 250 TV Chart but didn't manage to rate quite as highly — making "Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood" one of those rare TV remakes that manages to qualitatively surpass the original.
- StarsMamoru MiyanoBrad SwaileVincent TongAn intelligent high school student goes on a secret crusade to eliminate criminals from the world after discovering a notebook capable of killing anyone whose name is written into it.Hugely popular in Japan since its initial print run, the "Death Note" series has been adapted into three feature films and a TV show. A Hollywood version has been in development for years, with Shane Black attached to direct at some point. Nevertheless, it's the anime version that stays closest to the spirit of the original manga and that our viewers voted as the highest-rated series of 2006, narrowly surpassing the similarly dark-themed "Dexter."
- CreatorDavid ShoreStarsHugh LaurieOmar EppsRobert Sean LeonardUsing a crack team of doctors and his wits, an antisocial maverick doctor specializing in diagnostic medicine does whatever it takes to solve puzzling cases that come his way.What if Sherlock Holmes were a physician? That was essentially the premise of "House," a show whose protagonist was, like Arthur Conan Doyle's creation, a very smart and incredibly arrogant and drug-addicted detective tasked with solving a medical mystery in every episode, aided by a team of several Dr. Watson surrogates. Hugh Laurie, at the time a relative unknown in the U.S. but a popular comedian in his native U.K., fleshed out Gregory House into a flawed but compelling and fascinating, if not very likable, human being, never straddling into caricature or self-parody territory over the course of eight seasons.
- CreatorMitchell HurwitzStarsJason BatemanMichael CeraPortia de RossiLevel-headed son Michael Bluth takes over family affairs after his father is imprisoned. But the rest of his spoiled, dysfunctional family are making his job unbearable.Shows about dysfunctional families are a staple of comedy television. But "Arrested Development" stood out in a crowded sitcom field by virtue of its very dry, deadpan humor and unusual quasi-documentary style. Often shot with a handheld camera, the series featured no laugh track but relied on an omniscient narrator, played by Ron Howard. More of a critical and cult fave than a popular hit, the show was canceled after only three seasons. However, it launched or revitalized the careers of numerous actors — Jason Bateman, Michael Cera, Will Arnett, and Tony Hale, to name just a few — and gave birth to countless Internet memes and catchphrases ("I've made a huge mistake," "There's always money in the banana stand").
- CreatorShin'ichirô WatanabeHajime YatateStarsKôichi YamaderaUnshô IshizukaMegumi HayashibaraThe futuristic misadventures and tragedies of an easygoing bounty hunter and his partners.A few years before Joss Whedon's "Firefly" became a cult and critical hit, IMDb users were obsessed with another sci-fi show about the adventures of a group of bounty hunters traveling across space: Japan's "Cowboy Bebop." In retrospect, it's easy to see why. Each episode of the show packs more movie references and pop-culture influences — from film noir to Sergio Leone westerns and, of course, Star Wars-style space operas — than your average Quentin Tarantino movie, who reportedly is also a fan of the series. Dismiss this as simply a cartoon at your own peril. Even if you are not a fan of anime, "Cowboy Bebop" deserves a look. And if you are not familiar with the genre, this is a great place to start.
- CreatorTom FontanaStarsErnie HudsonJ.K. SimmonsLee TergesenA series chronicling the daily activities of an unusual prison facility and its criminal inhabitants.IMDb users love their prison-set dramas, as witnessed by the massive popularity of The Shawshank Redemption. HBO's "Oz" is no exception. Set in an experimental rehabilitation unit within a fictional New York State prison, the show mixed time-tested prison-genre tropes — the naïve new inmate tossed into a terrifying world of hardened criminals, the evil white supremacist gang leader, racially-fueled rivalries between gangs and cliques — with offbeat touches like the inclusion of a character, played by Harold Perrineau, who often broke the fourth wall and commented on the proceedings, essentially acting as a Greek chorus. It also showcased many talented actors such as Christopher Meloni, Edie Falco and J.K. Simmons, who all went on to much bigger fame and recognition.
- CreatorBob KaneEric RadomskiBruce TimmStarsKevin ConroyLoren LesterEfrem Zimbalist Jr.The Dark Knight battles crime in Gotham City with occasional help from Robin and Batgirl.The popularity of Tim Burton’s Batman and Batman Returns was likely a huge factor in getting a new TV series devoted to the Caped Crusader on the air. Although targeted to younger audiences, this show was decidedly darker in tone than any animated superhero show that preceded it. The show rapidly became a hit and one of the most highly-regarded entries in the Batman canon outside of the comic books, easily eclipsing misfires such as the Joel Schumacher-directed movies Batman Forever and Batman & Robin.
