I'm sure I'll forget something from early 2014 here. It was a weird year, with Breaking Bad's mighty shadow still hanging around long after Walter's last breath. I found myself dumping shows left and right, but there was still a lot to like.

1. The Legend of Korra
2. Game Of Thrones
3. Rick & Morty
4. How I Met Your Mother
5. South Park
6. Last Week Tonight
7. Review
8. Veep
9. Silicon Valley
10. Parks & Recreation
11. True Detective
12. It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
13. Archer

I'm waiting on Mad Men, forgot about Orange and the FXNow app sucks so hard that I can't catch up with any of their shows. It is still weird putting only 2 hour long shows up there though.

People need to stop acting like Breaking Bad is the end all of all shows. Its great but it is becoming overated because of everyone trying to act all gloomy towards other shows that are not Breaking Bad

The problem is that other shows are trying to be Breaking Bad and not succeeding. It's a strange time for drama.

Forgot about a few. 15 is a better number anyways..

Says the guy who has not seen one of those shows.

Sorry I don't watch shows on Fox (besides Bob's) or CW


BTW posted this on my Facebook

2. Hannibal
3. Game of Thrones
4. Broad City
5. Silicon Valley
6. True Detective

10. Mad Men/Orange is the New Black
