My Top Five TV Shows of 2019

The Best and Worst Episodes of Game of Thrones

March 23, 2017

A while back I ranked every episode of The X-Files and posted by top ten and bottom ten.  After giving the Game of Thrones series a full rewatch, I thought I would do the same.  Now this is only up to and including season 6, as this post is being written before the release of […]

Entourage

October 8, 2015

With the succes of The Sopranos in the early 2000’s HBO was hitting its stride with quality television, with other shows like The Wire, Sex in the City, and Six Feet Under.  And amongst this group was a seemingly out of place comedy called Entourage, following the career and lifestyle of a rising Hollywood movie […]

My 50 Favourite TV Characters – Part 1

July 28, 2010

I’m going to be listing my top 50 TV characters.  This isn’t a perfect list, I know.  Its made up mostly of modern shows and I tried not to let any one show dominate the list (which was hard in a couple of cases).   I will list them 10 at a time. 50. Titus Pullo […]
