I was wondering where that was on your list.

I almost forgot Vikings on my first draft.

For the shows that had split seasons, finished in May or so, started a new one in September, how are you considering them?

I'm judging it based on quality episodes that aired in 2013.

1. Breaking Bad (13)
2. Justified (12)
3. Hannibal (11)
4. Psych (10)
5. Nikita (9)
6. The Vampire Diaries (8)
7. Person of Interest (7)
8. The Bridge (6)
9. Brooklyn Nine-Nine (5)
10. Orphan Black (4)
11. Haven (3)
12. Bates Motel (2)
13. The Middle (1)

Since most people are on holidays I thought I would keep this up for a couple of weeks.

What Djaryia said. New girl feb-May really good. Sept-November not so much

1) Big Bang Theory
2) 2 Broke Girls
3) Marvels Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D
4) Super Fun Night
5) Simpsons
6) Modern Family
7) 2 and a Half Men
8) Mike & Molly
9) The Mentalist
10) The Big Bang Theory
11) Psych
12) Breaking Bad
13) Game of Thrones

1.) Breaking Bad
2.) Brooklyn Nine-Nine
3.) Hannibal
4.) The Blacklist
5.) Sleepy Hollow
6.) Longmire
7.) Bates Motel
8.) The Middle
9.) Law & Order: SVU

Still haven't seen quite a few shows this year, but this would be my Top 9. Other shows I've watched but wouldn't put them in my top shows.

Surprised there's no votes for The Killing or SouthLand.

1. Breaking Bad
2. Orange is the New Black
3. Game of Thrones
4. House of Cards
5. Treme
6. Arrested Development
7. Bunheads
8. Magic City

After giving this some thought over the past week:

1. Breaking Bad
2. House of Cards
3. Masters of Sex
4. Mad Men
5. Orange is the New Black
6. Southland
7. The Americans
8. Boardwalk Empire
9. The Returned
10. Game of Thrones
11. Hannibal
12. Treme
13. Orphan Black

So what you guys are saying is I should watch this show called Breaking Bad

I amended my list and put Southland in instead of Homeland.

Homeland would fall to #14 now.

Even though Southland ended somewhat incomplete, it's 10 episodes from the final season was much more superior in quality to Homeland's rocky 3rd season. Although Homeland had a strong 2nd half.

Seems like it.

I am not seeing Rectify on enough lists. Hardly anyone gets the Sundance Channel but Rectify was easily one of the best and most thoughtful dramas I saw in 2013. Seek it out, it's only a 6-episode series that tells a complete story. Superb acting from the leads in it.

Believe it or not, I just started watching it yesterday. Hey, it's pretty good...you'd think more people would be vocal about it.

Many of the critics loved Rectify, I think you are right though, many either do not have Sundance, or if they do, didn't know about these new series. I wonder also if many people have Sundance, and just never thought to check out the channel.

Hopefully with all of these 'best of' lists talking about Sundance, and this very own thread, people will start checking them out (I plan too soon, and with Sundance getting a HD channel, hooray!)

Also keep those top 13 best tv show lists coming, I'll give it a few more days to let people catch up (I know many used the December break to catch up on shows piling up on DVR)

Rectify is solid. But is simultaneously the most boring and enthralling thing i've seen over the past year so I know it will polarize many audiences.
