Vulture asked a great question: What Teen Shows Should I Watch? There were 101 Suggestions. Looking at this list made me realize, teen/high school shows might be one of my favorite genres. My favorites of these? i have actually watched actively 42 of these 101 shows (is that good or embarrassing, don’t really know) so can tell you what my favorites are:
- Gilmore Girls – which by the way brings up the fact that we have to discuss that there are 4 MOVIES COMING OUT IN NETFLIX!!!!!!! Some articles on this:

it then went further and had Vulture’s High-School-TV Showdown: Determining the Best High-School Show of the Last 30 Years – The current contenders for top show: Buffy, Daria, Friday Ngiht Lights, 90210, My So-Called Life, Veronica Mars, Gilmore Girls and Freaks and Geeks. 5 of my favorites are in the top 8 🙂 . This also made me think of the teen/HS movies that I love. It was hard so get it to 10. So My favorite teen/High school Movies (in no particular order)
