Your end of Winter/Beginning of Spring guide to Television

So with Winter kicking our ass right now it's never to soon to take a look at what's ahead in our lives. And by our lives I mean the lives of fictional characters depicted by actors on television shows. Here's my list for the top 5 shows I'm most looking forward to in the coming Months.

5) The Walking Dead- Return Date: Sunday February 10th
Before last season you could argue I liked The Walking Dead more than any of the other shows on this list. I fuckin love this show. Having said that, some of the characters on the show are just over the top and unnecessary. There's like four characters I enjoy having on screen. Rick (obv), Darryl (still obv), Meryl, and occassionally one of the smaller characters like Karl or the asian dude. Even the old dude I can take most of the time. Its the characters like Michonne (black samurai chick) that I can't stand. She's the definition of a hardo. Like she's walking around all season with Andrea surviving by the skin of their teeth, and they accidentally stumble across a group of survivors with a legitimate place to live, and she still isn't happy. Chick just loves being pissed off for no reason, and I can't stand her. The Governor's alright but Idk how much I love the guy playing him. Haven't seen enough of him yet I guess but overall so far I think he's just strange. Collecting zombie heads, keeping his zombie daughter alive and caged up, always talking in a voice like he's telling some sort of story. I'll give him this the human death fights are a great idea, and the fact that his ugly ass is crushing Andrea gets him a few points in my book. Overall this trailer has me all sorts of excited for next season.

4) Workaholics- Return Date: Er...Two weeks ago.
Nothin funnier out there right now than Workaholics. Its like It's Always Sunny in it's prime. Just laughs on laughs. Unique comedy, tight butt holes, lil bros before big bros, all around the most relatable, hysterical show out there. The first two episodes of this season were funny, but a little below average compared to our usual standards for this show.


3) Arrested Development- Return Date: TBA, sometime this Spring.
I remember watching this show on Fox when I was a kid and even though I was pretty young I still got a few laughs a week from it. Then I found out you could watch all of it on Netflix a few months ago and I was hooked. This show got cancelled after three season's for God know's why. It won all sorts of awards including Emmy's, Screen Actor's Guild awards, and according to IGN.com is the number one funniest show of all time. If you haven't watched it yet I promise you it will be well worth it. Unbelievable cast I mean Michael Cera basically playing the same character he did in Superbad only funnier and younger. Jason Bateman who is (in my humble opinion) one of the most under rated comedic actors in Hollywood. Will Arnett who I can admit can sometimes be over the top and un funny but for this show he plays his role to absolute perfection. The old dude who plays George/Oscar is hilarious. Henry Winkler as their attorney might be my favorite part of the show. Overall this show's been off air for far too long and I can not wait for it to come back.


2) Game Of Thrones- Return Date: 3/31/13
Easily the nerdiest thing about me (and the list can be pretty long) is everything about Game of Thrones. I'm not just talking the show. I watched Season 1 and I was hooked. So I read every book that the show is based off of. Each book is like 800-1200 pages long and I read 5 of them. Squid city, I know, but I couldn't help it. This shit is entertaining to no end. Tits in almost every episode, great storyline, great acting, great writing, and oh yea shit like this...



1) Breaking Bad- Return Date: July 14th
For me this is like picking a favorite child. I love all my TV show's equally but Breaking Bad, in my opinion is on pace to be the greatest show ever made. Now that's all pending an ending worthy of this show's consistent greatness. There are 8 (I think) episodes left until Breaking Bad's series finale. This is so refreshing to see now a days. Most shows will just drag on and on because the network wants to keep ratings up or whatever (Cough, Dexter, cough, True Blood) but not this show. Over the course of 4 and a half seasons we have watched Walter White go from under achieving high school chemistry teacher, to Heisenberg; Crystal Meth King Pin, who just does not give a fuck. He's literally broken bad. He's gone full Heisenberg and I can NOT wait to see how they end this show. Who would have thought the Dad from Malcolm in the Middle would go on to become the best actor on the best TV show ever made.
Single Greatest acting scene these eyes have ever seen.
