There's a month and a half left but interested in rankings/opinions on the half decade so far. Only include seasons that have at least partially aired in 2010-2014, so for example for Mad Men seasons 4-7 are the ones that count

Best overall show?

Top 5/10 shows?

Best drama?

Best comedy?

Best individual season?

Best individual episode?

Best pilot or series finale?

Best acting performance by a male?

Best acting performance by a female?

Most influential show?

Show you are most looking forward to in 2015-2019?

"F that show" award?

Drama:

1. Breaking Bad
2. Game Of Thrones
3. Mad Men

1. Community - debuted in September 2009
2. The League
3. Always Sunny In Philadelphia
4. Parks & Recreation
5. Workaholics

Animation:

1. The Legend of Korra
2. Rick & Morty
3. South Park
4. Archer
5. Futurama

Seasons:

1. Breaking Bad final season
2. Breaking Bad season 4
3. How I Met Your Mother final season
4. Futurama final season
5. 30 Rock final season

Episodes:

1. True Detective biker episode

I'll fill the rest of this out later.

I can't adequately do this because too many shows that are all time favorites of mine aired like a season or two in this decade but it feels wrong including them :P (i.e. my favorite dramas of all time "Lost" and "Friday Night Lights" and one of my favorite comedies "30 Rock")

The best drama is probably "Breaking Bad" though, and my personal favorite comedy that debuted this decade is "Happy Endings." I've watched the entire show start to finish probably over 10 times now and it still makes me laugh.

The best episode is "Ozymandias."

I am wondering David, are you refusing to watch "Breaking Bad" on principle, or what's up? :)

I just have not watched it yet. I hope to in the future. I very seldom catch up with a series in retrospect.

As for this thread, I simply don't watch enough TV for a satisfying answer.

"House of Cards" must have been a close contender for "F that show" award for you, Magnus.

Also, I wonder...has there EVER been a single season of any series as good as BB's fifth season? At least I haven't seen one yet.

Oh, god yeah, I nominate House of Cards for worst everything even though I never made it past the first episode.

Even just the thought of Homeland repulses me now, amazing fall from grace from its "the heir" buzz.

How many seasons of Louie have their been this decade? I didn't love the last one, but the two before that were really great. I would bump off Workaholics if both were this decade.

I haven't seen some key shows but for me:

Boardwalk Empire
Mad Men
Game of Thrones
Revenge
American Horror Story
Once a upon a Time

I haven't seen Breaking Bad but I doubt it has any chance of unseating my Top 2.
