Never heard of Hunger Games (Catching Fire)? Although I've never heard of some of those either.

Scandal is a political drama on ABC from the creator of Grey's Anatomy. Kerry Washington plays Olivia Pope, the lead character... and anything she wears in the show goes flying off the shelves. High end stuff. That explains her being so high up on the list. Still surprised she's ahead of Oscar winning Jennifer Lawrence, the darling of Hollywood.

Just finished Breaking Bad last night. Great series.. I have to say though after hearing from people to "expect an incredible ending" I was a little let down. I guess I just expected more to happen. You get really good closure, but I would have liked to see Jesse take a little more from the gang that tortured him for the past however many months. A little fear in that freak Todd's eyes before he died at the very least.
That whole slavery part disturbed me a bit for sure, lol. I thought it kind of sucked how Jesse was essentially removed from the show as a factor for that whole time period as well, just slaving away making meth.
But overall I think they ended it good, I could have done without the whole leaving and coming back for Walt, but as far as series finales go I left satisfied.

I've been watching the special edition season series for a couple months now. Wow is it incredible. Not only is it amazing watching all the episodes again and catching all the small details they put in, but the director commentary is so informative.
For example,
I also had NO idea that Bob Odenkirk (Saul Goodman) was the writer of Chris Farley's infamous "Van Down by the River" SNL sketch. So many cool details in the commentary that fans of the show will love.

I'll be honest, I thought it was kind of a cheap cop out too. Especially when . All I could think was, really?  .
But regardless of how cheesy it was, I just thought that little attention to detail was pretty darn cool. The show is full of them.

Yeah, if that's how they wanted to explain it there's a few simple short scenes they could have added. But I agree, a ton of detail in that show, and as I mentioned, even though I thought the explanation on the specific scenario was weak, I was willing to overlook it as that show was so strong in plot the whole time it ran. Maybe a little unbelievable and over the top in some scenes, but I guess what I'm trying to say is you didn't have a lot or even any of these plot errors or holes most other shows have.

One of my favorite parts was the shoot-out in the dessert where Hank and Gomie bite it.
The end of the episode everyone was loosing their sh*t on how unrealistic the shootout was and how it carried on for so long.
The start of the next episode, all you hear is the echos of the gun battle that last 10 seconds at most and it over. Thought it was a very clever way to depict a very intense scene.

I just finished watching the final episodes. Walt is a true antihero. Pretty cool to see the transformation he takes over the series. You root for him in the beginning and despise him at the end. I really wanted to see him and his stupid wife end up humiliated and arrested or killed when Hank was onto Walt.

Funny this got bumped. I just heard Donald Faison (chocolate bear) talk about the show on the Nerdist podcast. The only episode he has seen is the series finale. Just thinking about doing that makes my head hurt.

This show will probably go down as the second best of all time behind the obvious one, which doesn't need mentioning. I didn't watch every episode, skipped through some parts with Skyler but the story was so well thought out and produced with such passion that it stands out. You can really tell that everyone who was part of it really gave everything they had.

Full House? Or is it Knight Rider? But seriously, I can think of 4 good answers to who would be #1.

the best written one that will be in syndication longer than any other show, don't even need to guess man. It's not a maybe, it's earned Billions since ending. I don't even like it that much. (It's not the Simpsons, not as well written and not as many colloquialisms produced that still permeate society)

I don't understand why you just don't say Seinfeld.

The Simpsons (prime) is better than Seinfeld. While I love both, the former is more rewatchable than Seinfeld in my view. Now that's only the first nine seasons of course, but that's still more great years then Seinfeld had.
Breaking Bad would contend for the best drama ever, but I'd consider The Wire to be better as a whole. Breaking Bad could be a very solid #2 (with The Sopranos, X-Files, probably Game of Thrones, and hopefully some day True Detective right there with it). All just my opinion of course, as I know some will say Mad Men, Deadwood, The West Wing and the like.
