Why no CSI? Not that I want to include it, it just seems like an odd show to exclude so specifically.

I guess I just never looked at it as a drama. There doesn't seem to be underlying story from episode to episode.

Current:
Breaking Bad
Mad Men
drop off
Game of Thrones
Homeland
Boardwalk Empire
Shameless.....it's half comedy/half drama. But it's one of my current favs.
The Walking Dead
Sons on Anarchy
Treme
The Following...really into this one. Plenty of logic leaps to take and the acting outside of Bacon is not great, but this is still a ride worth taking once a week.
All Time
The Wire/The Sopranos....depends what mood I'm in
drop off
Six Feet Under
The Shield
Breaking Bad
Mad Men
Deadwood......still so pissed they never finished off this amazing show.
Hard for me to put GoT, Boardwalk or Homeland on an all time list with only a couple of seasons done. Need to see more of the body of work, but in a year or two, I'd probably have no issue doing so.

To each his own I guess. I'm all for character arcs, but the way the writers moved the show completely made me and the wife disinterested.
