LA Watchlist

This show got its hooks deep into me from the first episode of Season 1. My hunger for Mads Mikkelsen as Hannibal cannot be sated until I've seen every episode. I was beyond hooked from the opening of Season 2.

I run into trouble occasionally as far as actually getting to watch this; but I'm still doing my best to keep up-to-date with everything that goes on.

Yeah, my Kenzi addiction won't allow me to miss this show. But these days it's going beyond just watching my Kenzi, Season 4 has been the best, most incredible season by *far*. Complete with the biggest twist I've ever experienced (firsthand) in a show. I'm still trying to recover from it.

Making a triumphant return; the Kings of Improv Comedy are back! I made the mistake of trying to eat when I saw the first two episodes. I nearly had chicken breast coming out my nose. This show continues to make me laugh until my lungs hurt. Long live Whose Line is it Anyway!

The beginning of my Netflix Instant addiction. I started getting into this series near the end of college, and now that I had a lot more free time I began splurging on this series. It's worth seeing, trust me. Took a while to see the last Season, but man, some of the most intense stuff in the show's history.

I finally climbed aboard the train for this series. I'd just finished Burn Notice and this series was coming to a close, so I figured why not try and catch up to see it end?

Breaking Bad starts off really slow. So slow, in fact, that if I didn't know it got better, I wouldn't have kept watching after the pilot. Still, I recommend watching at least the first season, mostly because it's only 7 episodes. From there, each season only gets stronger than the one before it. Season 1 is meh, Season 2 is good, Season 3 is great, Season 4 is phenomenal, Season 5/6.....masterpiece. Same time, it probably wasn't a good idea to jump into this after my Burn Notice splurge. The reckless way these people go about their illegal business...Walter White wouldn't have lasted a week on Burn Notice the way he operates.

I would never have believed it, but somehow this series which has been going for 9 years (and limping along the last 3 or 4 years) managed to keep enough in reserve to make Season 9 the best season of them all. It's inconceivable, but here it is. The Mother we've been waiting to meet for 9 years somehow not only meets our expectations, but exceeds them. I frikin' love her. I want to beat up Ted and take her for my own. He doesn't deserve someone this awesome.

I appreciate any show that gives its actors space to improvise, and it appears they gave Robin Williams almost free reign. On top of that, Sarah Michelle Gellar does a fantastic job playing the straight man (woman). She's the heart of the show, and Williams is the spirit. The rest of the cast are the moving parts that build everything from the two of them.

Oh, and it's really funny.

Some people have Homeland, some people have House of Cards. They can keep them so long as I can have The Americans. I still don't follow everything going on in the subplots, but I love this show.

Finally decided to give this show a try, although I recognize I'm (very) late to the party. Raylan Givens, is there a cooler gunslinger alive? Timothy Olyphant, how does he make it look so easy? I need to find the early seasons.

Finally, a reality competition program worth watching. It's not about starving yourself or scurrying around like a rat in a maze; Face Off is about art and creativity. And some of these creations are unbelievable.

I started splurging on this series after seeing a video of Ron Swanson's best moments. The character is so unbelievably funny, I had to see more. I'm glad I gave this series a shot, it allows you to actually look at government workers with sympathy instead of scorn. Their job is hard under the best of circumstances. Doing it while maintaining professionalism and pandering to the needs & demands of the American public? It's a miracle these people haven't lost their minds.
