_Doctor Who_ (it’s not on right now, but then neither is the OP’s _Walking Dead_, so I assume it’s “shows that haven’t been cancelled”) _Game of Thrones_ _Big Bang Theory_ Crap, that’s about it. My TV watching has shrunk lately! ---

Top Five right now in no real order: 1. Game of Thrones 2. Community 3. Cougar Town 4. New Girl 5. Mad Men Since two of these literally just started up after months off I will give two alternates that would have been on the list: A. Happy Endings B. 30 Rock Wow, until I saw it laid out in front of me, I didn’t realize just how much more I like comedies than dramas. Even the handful of shows I have in mind I could have listed are almost all comedies. ---

Southland-This show keeps getting better every season. Sons of Anarchy Justified Homeland The Daily Show Honarable mention: The Walking Dead-Good but I wish they would pick up the pace & action. It’s a zombie show for Christs sake. I’m still undecided about The Killing. There are brief moments of great writing and acting among long stretches of blah. I am also curious about the direction Falling Skies will take in the second season. ---

_Justified_ _Homeland_ _Eastbound and Down_ and I have just given up on _The Mentalist_ _House_ and they have been the only shows I have unfailingly watched in the recent past. So in two weeks I’ll have none on air.
