What To Watch This Season


New TV Shows are debuting and I see a lot of people making mistakes with their television watching. I'm just gonna tell it how it is.

What to watch:
Dexter-If you are going to watch one show this fall, it should be Dexter. In its fifth season, the series has become the cornerstone of television drama. Along with Breaking Bad, this is probably my favorite show.

Eastbound and Down-A hilarious show about a former pitcher who is now washed up, Eastbound and Down is entering its second season. This series oozes glory. Watch it.

Boardwalk Empire-This show airs opposite Dexter, but its a worth competitor. After two episodes, I can only say that I'm enthralled by where this show could go. Starring Steve Buscemi, the show is about prohibition era Atlantic City. There hasn't been a show as good as this on organized crime since The Sopranos and The Wire.

Community-Probably the best comedy on tv right now, this show centers around a eccentric group of students at a Colorado Community College. This show is sharp and witty and worth every second of viewing. It's only entering its second season, so you have a whole season of glory to catch up on.

Modern Family-Also entering its second season, Modern Family has been a hit. The first season helped the show gain many accolades and that should continue in the second season. While I think Community is a better network TV show, Modern Family is right up there with it.

What not to watch:
Mad Men-I only list this show because nothing happens in the show. It's good for a season and the 50s style is quite cool, but other than that, I don't think it's a very interesting show. Nothing happens. It's not worth the time.

30 Rock-Tina Fey just isn't funny. At some point, you have to get sick of Alec Baldwin carrying the show.

The Office-Is anyone still watching this show? Seriously?

The one show I'm iffy on watching is It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. For seasons, this show has been brilliant. However the start of the season has been kind of weak. Certainly, it's had its moments, but it hasn't reached the peak of hilarity or the expectations its set for itself in the past.
