1.Smash–which I hear is not going to be renewed for a 2nd season because the ratings are in the toilet. D: 1. Full Metal Jousting–the only “extreme” sport I find myself interested in, oddly enough. 2. Dr. Who–I’m a recent convert to the series and I’ve been catching up by watching the re-runs on BBCAmerica. Mmm…David Tennant. _drool_ 3. Mythbusters–Jamie like big boom! Am I missing…an eyebrow?😃 4. Star Trek:TOS ---

_House Glee Parks & Recreation Community Castle_ _House_ has gotten so ridiculous that I probably wouldn’t be watching it if there weren’t only a few episodes left. But I’ve never missed one, so I may as well ride it to the end. And then add _The Closer_ which is in the same situation, though it’s still a good show and I hate to see it end, and will be watching its successor, _Major Crimes_, unless it turns out to be a dog. ---

Sticksandstring - Smash was renewed for a 2nd season. don’t forget how desperate NBC is. anywho, my list (only recently moved somewhere with cable, and it’s mighty basic cable, so that affects the list) Big Bang Theory The Good Wife Revenge Castle/The Mentalist/Fringe (3 way tie) I love Raising Hope & Community but work when they’re on and don’t always seek them out on computer. ---

1. **Breaking Bad** - best drama ever, IMO 2. \*\*Community \*\*- six season and a movie! 3. **Game of Thrones** - if they keep up the quality they had in season 1, this will be an all-time great. 4. **Once Upon A Time** - had/has the potential to be really corny, but so far they’ve done an excellent job. I’m loving it. 5. **Being Human** (North American) - A vampire, a werewolf, and a ghost are roommates–it practically writes itself! I haven’t seen the original UK show, but this version is really good. The cast is terrific and there’s lots of DRAMA! and/or action each episode. 6. \*\*Psych \*\*- one of the silliest, funniest shows on TV. ---

No cable, no Tivo. \*Dancing with the Stars Survivor Big Bang Theory Grimm \* Fifth would probably be _Glee_ or _The Good Wife_ – the latter a better show, but one I miss more often. ---

Not limiting it to shows that are currently in-season: Breaking Bad Boardwalk Empire Game of Thrones Archer Mad Men Doctor Who, Leverage and Burn Notice are honorable mentions–I love all my TV stuff fairly equally right at the moment, and would have a hard time dropping any of them if I had to. Lucky for me, they’re mostly on different schedules. ---
