Best TV of 2010

Category: TVvelveetahead @ 8:05 pm

Once again, here are my favorite shows in the past year. I can never pick just 10 so there are more than that. Oh well! There are other shows that I love a lot, but they either didn’t have a stellar year or I don’t watch the shows as quickly as I watched all of these so I figured they aren’t my absolute favorites.

#1


Breaking Bad
Channel: AMC
Starring: Bryan Cranston, Anna Gunn, Aaron Paul, RJ Mitte, Dean Norris, Betsy Brandt

The reason I love the show is that it goes to really dark, messed up places and somehow gets out of jams or deals with them in unexpected ways. Hank’s wife found out he was making and selling meth. That didn’t go over too well when she kicked him out, even though he refused to leave his own house for a while. Jesse was pissed at Walter. When they fight, it is hilarious. They both don’t want to do anything with one another, until they realize they need each other. Finally, when things get really scary for them both, the season end’s on an awesome cliffhanger.

TV: Week of August 10th

Pick of the Week

Mad Men
Channel: AMC
Time: 10/9c
Starring: Jon Hamm, John Slattery, Vincent Kartheiser, January Jones, Christina Hendricks, Elisabeth Moss, Michael Gladis, Aaron Staton, Rich Sommer, Bryan Batt, Robert Morse, Mark Moses, Joel Murray, Colin Hanks, Alison Brie, Anne Dudek, Maggie Siff, Rosemarie DeWitt, Darby Stanchfield, Peyton List, Melinda McGraw
Premieres: Sunday, August 16
Trailer

Synopsis: The show has been tight-lipped about what will happen in the third season, including if it’ll pick up where the last season ended or if it’ll skip years like it did between the first two seasons. I’m sure it’ll include more smoking, fabulous clothes, and drinking at work.

My Take: It is a show where you have to pay attention to it and possibly watch an episode more than once to catch everything, but I love it. Plus, did I mention the drinking at work?

TV: Week Of July 27

Recommended

Man Men
Channel: AMC
Time: 10/9c
Premieres: Sun, Jul 27
Starring: Jon Hamm, John Slattery, Vincent Kartheiser, January Jones, Christina Hendricks, Elisabeth Moss, Michael Gladis, Aaron Staton, Rich Sommer, Bryan Batt, Robert Morse, Anne Dudek, Maggie Siff, Rosemarie DeWitt, Darby Stanchfield
Trailer

Synopsis: The first season took place in 1960 and ended around Thanksgiving. The new season picks up on Valentine’s Day in 1962. No clue what is going to happen with the kid Peggy gave birth to in secret at the end of last season, but that’ll come up soon enough.

My Take: I love this show. It looks beautiful as a period piece, but it is also amazing with stories and acting. I also like to play a drinking game where you drink whenever they drink or smoke. That’ll get you pretty toasted.

Eureka
Channel: SCIFI
Time: 9/8c
Premieres: Tue, Jul 29
Starring: Colin Gerguson, Salli Richardson, Joe Morton, Jordan Hinson, Ed Quinn, Erica Cerra, Neil Grayston, Frances Fisher, Niall Matter
Trailer

Synopsis: It is a town filled with genius where their various inventions are always causing problems.

My Take: It is a goofy, breezy show filled with a cast that has good chemistry with one another.
