Re: End of the year top 10 shows of 2012

1. Breaking Bad
2. Homeland
3. Game of Thrones
4. Walking Dead
5. Dexter
6. Modern Family (although I am a season behind, just assuming)
7. Mad Men

Those are the only shows I watch besides the Soup, but there are plenty of other shows I want to watch and would probably be on my list like Louie, Sons of Anarchy, Downtown Abbey.

Re: End of the year top 10 shows of 2012

Since I've actually started this thread the last couple of years, I thought I'd finally weigh in with my top ten list.

1. Mad Men
2. Game of Thrones
3. Boardwalk Empire
4. Breaking Bad
5. The Walking Dead
6. Downton Abbey
7. The New Girl
8. Parks and Recreation
9. Treme
10. Veep

Honorable mention: Dexter, Awake, Louie, and Homeland

Notes: The top four are pretty interchangeable to me depending on my mood. I think that is the correct order, but I'm not going to get to bent out of shape if someone else had Breaking Bad at number one. The Walking Dead finally figured out a good balance at the end of season two, and the first half of season three was terrific. Obviously, that means it's time to get rid of the showrunner.

Downton Abbey was not quite as good in season two, but it was still a top quality program. I didn't even like the first half of season one of New Girl (2011), and I only kept up with it b/c of my support of Zooey Deschanel. I feel like the show started improving in the second half of season one and has really hit it's stride in season two. I feel rewarded for sticking with it. Parks and Rec keeps going strong. Treme remains a difficult but rewarding watch, and I'm glad it's getting a final five episodes, where I'm certain the Saints Super Bowl run will be a highlight. Veep is the kind of counter culture satire that I really personally enjoy.

I'm also glad to see Dexter rebound after an unremarkable and very mediocre sixth season. The casting of Ray Stevenson did wonders, and most of the main story lines worked for the first time in a while. Still, no show with a Quinn storyline deserves to be on any top ten list.

I'm very surprised there aren't more votes for 'Sons of Anarchy' around here.

....and I thought all you guys were the "cool" kids
