    There's nothing wrong with watching a lot good television, IMO. It's just as much a valid art-form as any other medium is. If someone wants to watch The Wire or The Sopranos or Breaking Bad, I'm not going to judge that person for "watching too much T.V.".

    First season? No problem. After that No, nobody can.

    There isn't a show I know that had such a huge dropoff in quality between the first season and the rest of the show. Season 2 did not make any sense.

    This was a very funny show. I really liked it.

    If you want funny shows Psych and Better off Ted are just brilliant (they both have a specific sort of humor, if you like it you wil love the shows).

    This is very accurate. First season is very good, but everything else is so, so bad. I actually watched the entire series when it was originally aired because I guess I enjoy being miserable. The last season was the worst season of any TV show in human history. I hated myself more every second I watched.

    Really enjoyed The Killing. Looking forward to the next season (unfortunately final season) on NetFlix.

    They feminized it by introducing female characters that added nothing. Should have left it a macho guy show. Good while it lasted.

    I haven't read all the way back to page 1, but House of Cards on NFLX is incredible. Should keep you going until football starts.

    True.
    I did not see why they were added
    Then turn into just Damsels in Distress

    If you guys haven't watched Black Mirror get too it. It's a British Twilight Zone show. Only six one hour episodes between 2 seasons.
