Meh.
Curb is on hiatus for years in between seasons, but it's by FAR the best one on that list. Arrested Development had the best season (2) but season 3 was somewhat weak and the new ones feel like a completely different show--and why is Seth Rogan and Kristen Wigg on there??
Heard good things about Workaholics just haven't watched.
Also...there's a huge difference between a network sitcom and something HBO does.
Not in my opinion. Cranston's performance is masterful...he's genuinely scary as White when he dons the black pork pie hat.
If you've seen one House episode you've seen them all. Not a great show, IMO.
Then you just don't like shows like CSI, E.R. etc. because they all have the same premise. House is one of the best individual characters in TV history.
Walter White, Tony Soprano, House, Raylan Givens and Boyd Crowder, Gil Grisham. not a very big list of truly great and memorable tv characters in recent years.
(comedies get Sheldon Cooper, Wilfred, Cartman, etc)

You're right. I don't like those shows. I agree that House is a cool character. I loved the show for like 6 episodes and was suddenly bored with it because each episode follows an almost identical framework.
I think sorting by MOVIEmeter gives a more accurate list. It uses algorithms based on what people look at the most on their website instead of number of votes/rating given. The top 10 would then look like this:
1. Game of Thrones
2. Breaking Bad
3.True Blood
4.Hannibal
5.Dexter
6.Big Bang Theory
7.The Walking Dead
8.Revolution
9.Mad Men
10.How I Met Your Mother
Although top 10 lists like these are pointless because almost eveyone is going to have a different list. For instance 6 of those wouldn't be in my top 10.
Just started Breaking Bad and wow is all I can say...previously it went
1. The Walking Dead
2. Prison Break
3. Weeds
As my top 3. BB takes number 1 for my favorite now for sure. I haven't watched too many series as you can tell. I'm wondering what to watch on Netflix after BB...I'm thinking about giving Sons of Anarchy and Orange is the new Black a try. Any other suggestions??
