My Top Media Fives

At the end of every year, all of the radio stations, websites, newspapers and magazines build top 10 lists for whatever they cover.

  • District 9 did look like a good movie!  Nice picks.


  • Just watched the Beatles 3000; That was GOLD! The Onion would have a hard time topping that!


  • Staff

    Up In The Air is totally fantastic, so it's place in your top 5 is well-deserved.


  • You all should see Avatar. Now thats how a movie should be made.


  • lol the beatles 3000 was hilarious


  • that was interesting


  • that was interesting


  • Burn Notice and Colbert are great but there were some great albums missing, 21st Century Breakdown and Crack The Skye should be on there.


  • Nice logos! I liked the Killed logo. I thought District 9 was good but I personally liked Star Trek the most this year.


  • I love lists! Lists is on my top five list of favorite things!


  • Sweet, MythBusters is in the top 5 tv shows!


  • George Clooney is the freakin' man.  You don't have to hide your love.


  • Mythbusters!


  • Staff

    Oh I dont.

    @iceap12

    Oh I dont.


  • I still have to say Zombieland or Inglourious Basterds was the number 1 movie, and I completely agree with Burn notice, how about Royal Pains though?  Or White Collar?  And the Universe and Mythbusters, amazing.  I could never get sick of Mythbusters and the Universe just astonishes me at how much crazy stuff is in space.


  • i think that its Mythbusters not Myth Busters


  • That Mister Cutts logo is the smartest idea ever.
