I'm not sure a post like this belongs in your favourite all time tv series, but I did watch it this year. Wahlberg has a credit now with a lot of HBO shows, not sure how much of the show he's actually involved in.

The show did interest me in the way it seemed like the New York culture and lifestyle felt authentic, compared to many LA written shows that don't even come close.

A few episodes pulled me in and had a good vibe to them, but others were just god freaking awful and had it not been for the success, of entourage on HBO by the same people who are doing this show, there's no way this would've got re-newed. It was painful to watch sometimes, hopefully they can produce a stronger second season.

Wowzers.....good topic.

Although the order may change from time to time, the Top Five will always be:

1. Band of Brothers
2. Long Way Round
3. The West Wing
4. The Sopranos
5. Star Trek: The Next Generation


I am starting Top Gear this/next week. My only previous exposure came from a couple episodes I saw while visiting the UK several years ago. I fully suspect it to work its way into the Top Five fairly quickly......just don't know what show will lose out!

In fact, I think overall, Curb Your Enthusiasm beats out Arrested Development for my favourite comedy.
I have been re-watching both recently and agree. Can't wait for season 8.

Question for anyone...

Is Always Sunny in Philadelphia safe for work with headphones?

There's no nudity, if that's what you mean. No wait, they did show Danny DeVito's naked ass crack once (but I think that was the Christmas episode that was originally only on DVD).
