5 new shows I was surprised I liked:
- Elementary – Jonny Lee Miller is a total badass Sherlock.
- Hannibal – Pretty brutal and bloody.
- Bates Motel – I think the acting is weird and over-the-top but I like the story.
- Nashville – It’s really soapy.
- Revolution - There's lots of secrets and fighting.
5 shows that will make the summer tolerable:
- Breaking Bad – What are you going to do, Hank?
- Dexter – What are you going to do, Deb?
- Arrested Development – Disappointing AD is better than no AD.
- The Newsroom – It’s weird to think that Jeff Daniels is almost 60.
- King and Maxwell – Just to see Ryan Hurst from Sons of Anarchy - man, summer TV is bleak. Turns out he plays a high-functioning autistic with no beard. That's 2 very, unsexy strikes and the show is just awful. And he wears giant Grandma glasses and white gym shoes - I miss Opie!
5 Shows I will catch up on this summer:
- Justified
- Scandal - Done in a weekend. Why are there gay Republicans ever?
- House of Cards
- Sherlock
- The Hour – I really don’t want to hear Dominic West using his British accent.
5 shows you should catch up on this summer – what
else do you have to do? Oh yeah, jobs
and family and what not…
- Sons of Anarchy – I NEVER want to hear Charlie Hunnam use his British accent.
- Battlestar Galactica – It’s not about creepy aliens and monsters - it's about robots that look like people and it's awesome.
- The Wire – One of the best shows ever and the reason I'm used to Dominic West speaking like a Baltimorian.
- Nurse Jackie – Half hour episodes – you breeze right through them.
- Episodes – Douches are rampant in Hollywood, but this is Joey Tribbiani swearing and being slutty.
5 shows I don’t really want to watch anymore but I
feel obligated:
- True Blood – This show is terrible. Please start following the books, yet keep Alcide and Eric naked, story permitting, of course. First 2 eps, effing torture.
- Nikita – I have 19 on my DVR, ugh!
- Wilfred – It’s something to put on, but it mostly makes me angry.
- Burn Notice – I’m a season or two behind, I think I'll just watch the finale.
- Boardwalk Empire – I need it to come back to OnDemand because I have time now - too much.
5 shows I’m sad were canceled:
- Happy Endings – I was a late-comer to this, but it’s better than any CBS sitcom.
- Go On – It was not as bad as Mr. Sunshine – pretty shocking it got the axe.
- Ben & Kate – Quirky and fun.
- Don’t Trust the B**** in Apt 23 – James Van Der Beek was great as James Van Der Beek.
- Smash – Yeah, I developed a crush on Jack Davenport – I’ll have to watch Coupling now, Nowak!
5 shows I’m glad I have never seen an episode:
- Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice – The epitome of sappy chick shows.
- The New Normal – I fast-forward through Nene when she’s on Glee. Boo, for putting her on a show! YAY for canceling it!
- Any show with Kardashians or Housewives or Jersey trash – Please, make a gigantic suicide pact.
- Anger Management – Charlie Sheen doesn’t need to work, stop giving him the opportunity.
- Everything with Tyler Perry’s name on it.
5 shows I wish were shown in syndication:
- The West Wing – I used to wake up to it on Bravo, but it’s gone now. I couldn't commit to something new and now I'm half-way through Season 1 - Big Block of Cheese Day!
- Buffy – It used to be on F/X and then Logo, now nothing.
- Friday Night Lights – Can’t lose.
- The Shield – Bad cop, Bad cop. I found it on NUVO - it's in English, but the commericals are in Spanish. Andale!
- Ally McBeal – I don’t want to watch the DVDs, but would flip to it given the option.
5 shows I wish would stop being shown in syndication:
- Friends – It really doesn’t hold up well.
- Fresh Prince of Bel-Air – Never watched it, never will.
- The Golden Girls – I still don’t find it funny.
- According to Jim – It was never funny, please let it die – soon. Please. Really.
- Everything by Tyler Perry – TBS, stop this madness. Show more Cougar Town or My Name is Earl, anything.
