My Top Five TV Shows of 2019

5. Silicon Valley Season 6 This is a comedy I’ve enjoyed the whole way through its run.  Its never the best thing on, but its always enjoyable.  This final season was consistent with that.  And Gilfoyle just kills me; love that character.  Especially his relationship with Dinesh. – 4. The Expanse Season 4 I’m a […]

The Ten Best and Worst Episodes of Community

Once again, its my Best and Worst Episodes series, where I choose a TV show to rewatch, rank all the episodes, and then give you the ten best and worst episodes. I have done this previously with the following shows: The X-Files Game of Thrones The Simpsons The West Wing Lost This time I’m taking […]

The Best and Worst Episodes of Lost

Its time for a new edition of my Best and Worst Episodes series, where I choose a TV show to rewatch, rank all the episodes, and then give you the ten best and worst episodes. I have done this previously with the following shows: The X-Files Game of Thrones The Simpsons The West Wing And […]

The Best and Worst Episodes of The West Wing

My fourth installment into looking at the highest and lowest episodes of my favourite TV series if finally ready to go after rewatching all 7 seasons of The West Wing.  My previous posts include The Simpsons, The X-Files and Game of Thrones.  The West Wing is the one show I tend to call my favourite […]

The Best and Worst Episodes of Game of Thrones

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 […]

My Top 5 TV Shows of 2016

5. Black Mirror I was just introduced to this recently, but I’ve already burned through the entire series.  Netflix released season 3 after a hiatus of a couple years, releasing some very interesting sci-fi stories.  We start  off with a biting take on social media, where everyone actually gets to rate everyone else (yes, Community […]

The Best and Worst Episodes of The X-Files

Earlier this year I rewatched the entire series of The X-Files on Blu-ray.  This was my favourite show in high school(my fandom was embarrassing to look back on) and viewing it again many years later was an interesting experience.  And as we went through the whole X-Files story, my categorical mind wasn’t able to rest […]

The Office (NBC)

The Office is an interesting study in the evolution of a television show.  It began its existence as a remake from the popular British comedy that had been popular a few years earlier.  Because of this, most people thought it was doomed, that it was going to try too hard to capture the brilliance of […]

My Top 5 TV Shows of 2014

5. Orange is the New Black Netflix’s hit comedy has a swatch of interesting supporting characters, and I love shows with a swatch of supporting characters.  Sure most of them are heavy caricatures, but its still a pretty fun show. 4. Brooklyn 99 The freshest new comedy to be seen on the networks since Community.  […]

Community

I gave Community a pass when it first aired, and I can’t really remember why.  I think I just wrote it off as another lame comedy trying to be the new The Office.  But on the urging of friends I decided to check it out and realized that it is awesome.  Why is it so […]

Flight of the Conchords

I admit that I am not much of a musical guy.  I don’t like musical numbers in my movies or TV shows at all.  Its too contrived and just not enjoyable for me.  And yet, I love Flight of the Conchords. Perhaps its the humour infused into the music that wins me over.  In fact, […]

My Top 5 TV Shows of 2012

5. Modern Family I am aware that Modern Family is not the be all and end all of TV Sitcoms.  The set-ups for humorous lines and situations are ridiculously convoluted and contrived.  But despite that, they are still funny.  And lets face it, there’s not really a wealth of comedy gold on the airwaves right […]

Extras

Ricky Gervais’ series Extras came along in the wake of his massively popular hit The Office (and yes, I do plan on doing an Office post later on), and as such it was hard to tell whether we were still under The Office’s spell, or if Extras was a great show in its own right.  […]

Corner Gas

When a television show deals with themes and settings that you are familiar with, you tend to have a stronger connection to it.  Perhaps that’s why myself and those around me took to Corner Gas so easily.  Not only is it a Canadian comedy, but its set in my hometown province of Saskatchewan.  Corner Gas […]

Entourage

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 […]
