Friday, July 6th addition:
I've been on vacation all week, and therefore lazy, but I did think of/notice more!!

Gugu Mbatha-Raw: Tish Jones, sister of Martha from Doctor Who on Touch as one of the main characters, Clea Hopkins
Roxana Brusso: The parole officer of Russ Brennan on Bones as the creepy Shirley on Touch
Aisha Hinds: Officer Randall on an episode of Bones on Detroit 1-8-7 as Lieutenant Mason
Patricia Belcher: Scary lawyer Caroline Julian on Bones on Good Luck Charlie as scary neighbore Mrs. Dabney

Yeah... Been watching too much Bones.

5. Katy Perry: On How I Met Your Mother as Stella's cousin

4. Neil Patrick Harris: Barney Stinson from How I Met Your Mother on Glee as Bryan Ryan

3. Neil Jackson: Sasha Belov from Make It Or Break It on How I Met Your Mother as Robin's surgeon date (Or vice-versa. HIMYM was first)

Nine Intriguing TV shows

With absolutely no justification or system for ranking, here are just some awesome TV shows:

9.  Touch: Numbers are simply awesome.

8. Detroit 1-8-7 (Cancelled): This was a quality cop show. Why'd they cancel it?

7. New Girl: While sometimes a bit inappropriate, this show is funny.

6. Torchwood: Slightly sexualized British sci-fi. Spin-off of Doctor Who.

5. The Finder: Walter is this awesome maniac who finds things.

4. How I Met Your Mother: Funny funny funny!!

3. Bones: Who doesn't love a show filled with corpses?

2. Sherlock: BBC's interpretation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's meticulously crafted classics, a beautiful show with amazing actors.

1. Doctor Who: Amazing Science Fiction. Great picture quality, awesome stories, awesome characters.

... I'm such a Doctor Who fangirl. My rankings here are extremely biased. Oh well! :)

Also, I really really love this screen from Sherlock:

Six Beloved Childhood Friends

6. Caillou - This show about the four year old and his friends was a favorite of mine as a kid. The language is simple  and the picture, while also simple, is intricate. I especially liked his Chinese friend and their episode about chopsticks.

5. Clifford - I personally must own about 20 of the Clifford picture books. What little kid doesn't dream of having a dog they could ride to school?

4. Thomas & Friends - A beloved television series and book series about a tank engine and his hardworking little friends!

3. Elmo - Nanana, nanana, Elmo's World! Elmo's World is enjoyable for both little kids and their parents (and grandparents and big sisters). My little sister often will plop herself on my lap and demand to watch it. Like with other kid's show successes, the selling point for Elmo is his approachability and simplicity. Kids like someone they could cuddle and hug and do handstands with in their head.

2. Barney - Barney the purple dinosaur... who doesn't remember this loving, lumbering friend? I love you, you love me...

1. Scooby-Doo - Scooby-Doo and his crime solving buddies scares little kids but intrigues them at the same time. The fast, hyper, pumped-up activity of the characters make the show more suited towards older-than-toddlers-but-not-yet-tween kids.

My little sister's current favorites are Elmo and the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse show, but that wasn't around when I was a toddler, so it's been omitted from this list.
