    I'm with ya' Hut. It gets a lot of flack now because it was a mainstream style network sitcom. I thought it was way better then it ever got credit for. Peter Boyle was the shit.

    I hated The Killing and have never see Hell on Wheels but otherwise this is a great list.

    I just started watching Justified and it has picked up a lot after a hit or miss first season.

    He's very good, kind of odd to see him all cleaned up. Hugh Dancy is surprisingly good to. I thought he was Billy Crudup at first.

    I got the Rome box set a few weeks ago. What an excellent TV series. For those who haven't seen it, go get it.

    REED's Favorite Television Series has to Be "Law & Order - SVU" (Specical Victims Unit)...

    The Subject Matter is Sometimes UNCOMFORTABLE, the Characters are FLAWED, Episodes AREN'T Always Wrapped in a Nice, Neat Package @ the End & there's Usually an Unexpected TWIST...

    Community is a nice light show to watch if you got nothing to do.

    Season 1 and 2 sure, 3 is drop off and 4 is really struggling.

    Forget that and wait a few days for the new season of Arrested Development :bears:

    some episodes from season 3 are hilarious. Britta would get it. :Thumb:

    And TKO it might have been me, Homicide was a great show.

    1st three seasons were great. Then the creator Dan Harmon got fired for going overbudget and pissing off the suits. This last season has been painful, watching a formerly great show get flushed down the toilet on their way out the door.

    Harmon got hired back. There may be hope for "Community" after all. I thought for sure that show was getting canned.
