TOP FIVE ANIME TV SERIES
5. Muteki Kanban Musume
4. Ouran Host Club
3. Black Lagoon The Second Barrage
2. Black Lagoon
1. Kemonozume
It seems I've spent more time watching shows from 2005 this year (Akagi, Noein, Keroro Gunso), so Black Lagoon gets to appear twice. Regardless, those top 4 shows make this year far better than 2005, and Kemonozume makes it on a par with 2004 (which had Paranoia Agent).

TOP FIVE TV SERIES PERFORMED BY HUMANS
5. Annually Retentive
4. Man To Man With Dean Learner
3. Doctor Who
2. The Colbert Report
1. The Daily Show
The Daily Show's marked improvement in the last 4 months or so just edged it. I also liked 30 Rock, The Office, Snuff Box, QI, Psych, That Mitchel And Webb Look, The I.T. Crowd and Monk.

TOP FIVE ADULT SWIM CARTOONS
5. Harvey Birdman, Attorney At Law
4. Moral Orel
3. Tom Goes To The Mayor
2. Venture Bros.
1. Korgoth of Barbaria
Korgoth annihilates any competition on the basis of it's pilot alone, because it's actually created by animators not comedy scriptwriters. Harvey Birdman is on it's last legs though.

TOP FIVE PODCASTS
5. Comic Geek Speak
4. Fast Karate For The Gentleman
3. Anime World Order
2. The Sound Of Young America
1. Wrestlecrap Radio
CGS can be annoying at times, but they do get good interviews. FKG has a good format. AWO is pretty good even if Daryl Surat has a tendancy to talk too fast when reading from a script and Clarissa annoyingly puts upwards lilts at the ends of sentances making everything sound like a question. But you tend to get at least one piece each show you wouldn't get elsewhere. TSOYA is awesome. Wrestlecrap Radio is endearingly shambolic.

TOP FIVE FILMS
I don't think I watched any films released in 2006 due to my switch to online DVD rentals and Peterborough Showcase being crap.
