Also Top Chef, but that is done for now.
Agree that Luke is better than Manny but completely disagree Manny is terrible, obv its an easier gimmicky character to play but I think he absolutely nails it.

I watched series 1 and 2 in like 3 days. I tried to stretch out with season 3 but only lasted like a week before bingeing the whole thing.

This was months ago when all 3 seasons where out and the wait has been killing me for 4

Re: Best TV series out atm

watched the first 4 episodes of breaking bad but i'm not going to continue watching the show. I feel like they're going to drag it on too much. My favorite thing to watch is a mini-series because those are well planned out. Next on my list is John Adams, it's 7 parts.

Re: Best TV series out atm

big bang theory is great. i disagree that it tries to come off as intellectual, i can see how one would think that but thats not what i would take away from watching the show.

i'm also a fan of how i met your mother.. i think they both get a bad rap sometimes for being on CBS but theyre both great shows.

in all honesty the past season i tend to find myself laughing more at modern family than any other comedy on tv. nbc's thursday night is pretty solid (the office and 30rock less consistent than they used to be, but still more than watchable)

+1 for love for The League.. you don't even have to be a fan of fantasy sports to enjoy that show.. it's pretty genius

curb your enthusiasm will probably always be my favorite comedy... although im starting the 2nd season of arrested development and am really loving it.

I understand if its not your thing though I do think you're doing yourself a dis-service by not at least watching through season 1... I didn't think Id like the series either, just due to the premise, but once I finished season one I was in.

Re: Best TV series out atm

For some reason when 'tv series' was mentioned I didn't even consider reality shows.

I really do enjoy Top Chef and Top Chef Masters.

Gave 30 Rock another try tonight. That show has run its course. How many cliche anecdotes can you sneak into a show? I think its a big Lorne Michaels level.

Somewhere "Dexter" went from compelling and entertaining to completely awful and unwatchable...couldn't really say when it happened though.
