Hey, at least it isn't Buffy The Vampire Slayer...

5) Angel

While a television series about a vampire private investigator seems unoriginal (several shows have had this theme), Angel was more than unique.

Where the show was at its best was when it showed Angel's heroic deeds juxtaposed against the gruesome tales of his soulless alter ego, shining a light on how our personalities are the sum of both our triumphs and mistakes.

Best Villain - Puppets from hell - A group of demons masquerading as puppets on a kids show turn Angel into one of them. While giant monsters and sexy demons are fun and all, a puppet of the main character engaging in an epic battle is surely an entertaining concept.
