The last time TheWrap told TV fans the best people to follow on Twitter, it was a collection of writers, producers, suits and reporters.

This time, we're going after the superfans. These are the folks -- from Glendale to South Bend to Nova Scotia -- who watch TV with a loving yet critical eye, who track the moves of actors from show to show, who make watching TV fun -- especially in the dull days of summer.

From "Glee" to "Sons of Anarchy" to "Chuck," even Discovery's "Life" -- and yes, some recently departed favorites like "Lost" -- their tastes are diverse, but they all share a passion for what comes out of the box and into our homes.

Here, alphabetically, are our favorite 25, with whatever information we could glean about them -- and why you want to follow them.
