I used to have a system of tiers for each category, different pages on which I'd group shows based on how much I liked them. I eventually decided to abandon that system, in favor of having basically one page for each category (with each page having a navframe with links to the reviews of each individual show). The show pages themselves will now have individual ratings (which are explained on the page linked to above). It took me years to move all my old reviews over to the new organizational and ranking system, but I'm finally done....
I try to provide a number of links in each of my reviews, to sites which may give a little or a lot more information than I do in my reviews themselves. In my estimation, the most important sites I commonly link to include network and/or production sites, as well as The Internet Movie Database (IMDb), TV Tango, TV Tropes, Wikia (see 2a), and Wikipedia.
Fan-maintained wikis (other than TV Tropes or Wikipedia) will often provide a great deal of information about a show, quite possibly more than even network or production sites do. This is especially useful in cases where official sites disappear after a show ends; wikis are much more likely to be permanent. There are, of course, any number of wiki providers, but I find that more often than not, the wikis I like best tend to be on Wikia. I have sometimes in the past provided links in my reviews to fan wikis, and the names I gave these links were usually the names of the specific wikis. However, I eventually decided to rename most of these links "Wikia," to provide the same kind of uniformity that comes from naming links "IMDb", "Wikipedia", etc. (It also saves space to do so.) There will still be some wiki links that I label by the name of the individual wiki. This could be the case if the wiki is on a site other than Wikia, or if I'm actually linking to a subpage of a Wikia wiki, wherein the subpage is about a specific show, but the wiki itself is about a franchise or more general theme, of which the show in question is just one iteration. (There may be rare cases in which I label a link "Wikia" even if I'm linking to a franchise wiki.) Note: in 2016, the site's name changed to "Fandom powered by Wikia," and in 2019 it began migrating wikis to Fandom.com. So... it may no longer be appropriate for me to label my links as "Wikia"; I should probably rename them all "Fandom," but that would be a huge undertaking, and it's not something I'm in any hurry to do.
This website has some subsites for specific shows, but the majority of links I include are to galleries it has for shows, rather than actual subsites (since it doesn't always have subsites, for some shows). You should be aware that the website may have some things like wav or mpg files, message boards, and links to other websites for some of these shows, but none of that is available from the galleries (though it is on any of the shows that have actual subsites). If you're interested in such things, you'd have to search from the main page for lists of series.
When possible I'll link to sites such as Amazon Video, Fandango at Home (formerly Vudu), Hulu, and/or YouTube. For streaming sites I don't list in my reviews, check JustWatch.
