Here are some of the pleasure I
indulge on
TV when I get the chance. I only have about seven shows I really like so this will be
MY TOP SEVEN:
THE WIRE - This is the best television show ever made. Period. Realistic as any thing that has ever been brought to any screen, big or small. It
portrays police, politics, society, and criminals in such a realistic way that the
NYPD pleaded with the producers to stop
because criminals
watching the show were learning tricks to avoid being arrested. The series takes patience and is more like a book with every episode a new chapter in the same story. Last season was as
emotionally devastating, yet rewarding as anything else I can think of on TV.
ROME - Started off a bit slow, but then took off quickly. Full of double-crosses, vicious killers, and conniving
amoral politicians that you actually feel for.
Pullo, a simple, yet loyal man is a cold-blooded killer, but the writers of the show made him one of its most likable
characters. Can't
believe there are
only two episodes left.
THE OFFICE - Haven't seen the British version, but Steve
Carrell and
Rainn Wilson make this comedy one the most hilarious, if not painfully awkward, shows on television.
ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT - I still hate Fox for cancelling this
original and smart story of the most dysfunctional family ever on TV.
CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM - Larry David is a comedic genius... and a huge a-hole. This
improvised series of Larry getting himself into one horrible situation after another is one reason I still have HBO. Now I just hope they bring the show back.
24 - Sure it is unrealistic, but no matter, it the most entertaining action series on TV. I can't imagine a Monday without Jack Bauer saving
Los Angeles from certain destruction.
ENTOURAGE - This insider look at what it is like to be a young superstar nails my generations dialogue and actions to a tee.
