Your current top 5 TV shows

Cafe Society
1

Not your all time lists, this is what you watch currently. I’m curious to see what everyone is glued to. Free TV or cable, doesn’t matter. My list:

  1. Breaking Bad
  2. The Walking Dead
  3. The Killing
  4. Dexter
  5. Shameless

For the record, I don’t have HBO so “Game of Thrones” didn’t qualify.

2

The only shows I bother to clear time for or follow are

  1. Mad Men
  2. Archer

Anything else I see is incidental.

3

Heh. Going by frequency, this is telling. No particular order:

Thomas
The Mysteries of Alfred Hedgehog
Mighty Machines
Archer
Dragon

4
  1. Justified
  2. Breaking Bad
  3. Sons of Anarchy
  4. The Good Wife
  5. The Mentalist

Others I at least watch regularly when they’re on:

House
Bones
Dexter
Homeland
Mad Men

5

Pretty much everything is Tivo’d. But the ones that get watched immediately are:

Castle
Big Bang Theory
Community
Survivor: One World
Everything else will get watched when we have time or after we let several episodes accumulate.

  1. Breaking Bad - not just the current best, but the best ever.
  2. Game of Thrones
  3. Community
  4. Top Gear UK (if this counts… I think it airs on BBC America)
  5. Boss

Dexter would’ve made #2 on the list 5 years ago, but it’s pretty much run its course and barely seems like the same show anymore, at least the quality of the writing. Homeland is new and promising but I wonder how far they can go with the premise - shows based on mysteries but that want to extend on forever can always fall victim to the Lost type mess. To be fair, the show has already revealed more than lost ever did in its 5 seasons. I want the Walking Dead to be good enough to make this list, but… no.

7
  1. Nikita
  2. The Secret Circle
  3. Psych
  4. Ringer
  5. Shake It Up!
8

Well since Archer’s season just ended, I’ll omit it for now. These shows are can’t miss for me, in order:

  1. Raising Hope
  2. Young Justice
  3. Bob’s Burgers
  4. Ugly Americans
  5. Grey’s Anatomy (I wish I knew how to quit it)

Since Hope’s season is about to end, honorable mention goes to Thundercats because it’ll probably be cancelled soon. I have a preference for animation. Adventure Time gets a nod, too. As much as I love seeing Archer flip burgers, I also love Bender as a dog.

9
  1. Game of Thrones
  2. The Walking Dead
  3. Dr. Who
  4. Castle
  5. Eureka

American Horror Story will probably end up replacing Eureka, since this will be the last season.

10

Roughly in order:

  1. Justified: Really, the dialog is the best since Deadwood. I know that it’s based on one of his short stories, but it’s almost as if it was written by Elmore Leonard himself.

  2. Walking Dead

  3. Modern Family

4)** The Big Bang Theory**

  1. Community

Psych just missed the cut.

11

1- Big Bang Theory

2- How I Met Your Mother

3- The Middle

4- Person of Interest

5- One of my 10pm weekday mystery reruns, depending on the episode: Diagnosis Murder or Remington Steele

12
  1. The Middle
  2. Raising Hope
  3. The Voice
  4. Cash Cab
  5. American Pickers

Castle
Community
The Office
The Walking Dead
Game of Thrones

14

I only have basic cable, so that limits me.

  1. Community
  2. Castle
  3. CSI
  4. ** Body of Proof**
  5. Either Once Upon a Time or Grimm

Before last week, I would have listed Awake, but last week’s episode was appallingly bad and it looks like they’re going to concentrate on the bad things on the show instead of the good things.

15
  1. Archer
  2. Mad men
  3. Portlandia
  4. Modern Family
  5. Game of Thrones
16
  1. Mad Men
  2. Game of Thrones
  3. The Walking Dead
  4. True Blood
  5. Lost Girl
17

That’s right - Eureka returns in a couple of weeks. OK, that’s my #5.

For 12 episodes, at least. :frowning:

Justified (best show EVER)
Archer
Sons of Anarchy
