Dexter went straight down the toilet last season. Actually the John Lithgow season was the last good one. But last season was quite terrible.

Just not crazy about Dexter and Game of Thrones.

The Wire charges per episode, I like Louie but I can't sit and watch hours of it.

What else is out there? (Free on Amazon Prime, or included in Netflix)
Netflix:
Battlestar Gallactica
Sons of Anarchy
Breaking Bad
The Walking Dead

Falling Skies almost went down the path of the bad Battlestar Gallactica episodes path.

No, you need to fight for your species survival.
Thankfully that didn't last long.

Hated that whole aspect of BSG. And the absurdly huge press corps that was serving 40,000 people.

FX has a twitter account for Archer, which provides daily gems in his "Just the Tip of the Day"... today's was:

codenameduchess: AJTTOTD: Worried you drink too much? Consider this: you can't be an alcoholic if you're under 30. Any age past that, you're distinguished.

Has anybody been watching the current season of Web Therapy? It's gotten much better vs the 1st season.
I think it helps that the quality of special guests has been much improved. But I also think Lisa has developed her character better this season as well. Give it a shot...

Last night's 2 scenes with Conan had me rolling, how she just couldn't pronounce his name right was great. The guy on his "anger list" was Andy and he just nailed what his late night show really is like most of the time, him setting up Andy... The show's just been hitting all the right notes for me this season.

A good three years too late, "The Office" is wrapping up.
