Favorite TV Show- RIGHT NOW

[WestRider]

Been working my way through How I Met Your Mother. Haven't been able to watch much for a while, but it's a very fun show.

How I met your mother. Funniest show on TV right now. Season 7 should be out next month or so.

Tv is just a huge disappointment.

I still watch my little pony friendship is magic when I get bored and have nothing to do. Rewatching episodes is just becoming tedious, but its better than most of the (please do not swear) I have seen when I see my brother watching tv.

Stupid hub putting season 3 spoilers but no confirmation for when season 3 is :/

I never got into how I met your mother. It was... Odd. I don't know, can't really say much. I watched 2 episodes and was just unimpressed. I'll look at it again if I am bored and it is on.

Archer is hilarious and in my top 5 favorite shows.

Season 3 is out right? I don't remember it coming back.

not sure which your talking about, Walking dead in america finished season 2 in spring with season 3 in October/november.

Archer finished season 3 in spring also and I do not believe they have announced a timeslot for season 4

There's a pretty ridiculous level of continuity involved. Most episodes past the first season or so won't be nearly as good if you haven't been following what's come before.

If you've got Netflix or something, randomly grabbing a S1 Episode to try it if you're bored might be a good idea, but catching one at random on TV probably still isn't going to click for you.

I guess it is also fair to mention that I love My Little Pony.

Also a watcher of this show, although not as crazy about it as most others.
Also Mike and Molly another great show.

Right now? I'm torn between Game of Thrones, MLP and Breaking Bad.

Out of the three I suppose Breaking Bad is the 'best' show as it has the most intense drama, mind blowing plot twists and fantastic acting. I'm literally always on the edge of my seat by the end of each episode. (I actually found myself standing without realising for the Season 4 finale.)
Brian Cranston is a marvel in the role of Walter White and the overall journey of his character from somebody so endearing and sympathetic to somebody so dark and manipulative is something I've never experienced on that level in a TV show before. A part of me still wants him to win despite how far beyond the moral event horizon he has gone. Also the rest of the cast and minor characters are brilliantly developed and well written. The writing team really know how to make you love or hate a particular character but still make each one interesting, relatable and redeemable.
I'm actually refusing to watch Season 5 until it ends just so I can watch all of the episodes back to back and not have to have myself driven insane waiting for the next episode each week.

Game of Thrones is just a complete geek hour for me with each episode. I already know what is going to happen from having read the books but having Westeros come to life before my eyes is incredible (even if most of the characters look nothing like how I've pictured them). Of course the story is incredible as are the characters and the absence of a true good and evil side, albeit not to the extent the books had it, makes every point of the show compelling.

My Little Pony (like you didn't see it coming) is completely different to the above two to the point of where it's hard to compare them. Breaking Bad is just great television plain and simple and offers an amazing and often pulse racing hour of drama. Game of Thrones is similar. MLP is the exact opposite in that it's incredibly simple and straight forward and that's why I love it.
It's kind of refreshing to take a break from the cynicism and pessimism of world news, the economic climate, modern entertainment media, etc and just enjoy twenty minutes of harmless fun in the form of a brightly coloured cartoon practically bursting at the seams with sugary goodness and tongue-in-cheek humour. If TV shows could welcome you as you sat down to watch them, MLP would always do so with a smile and maybe a mug of hot chocolate. The episodes are so simple but surprisingly clever in their own way that it's enjoyable if somewhat mindless fun to watch. Also, it's just nice to have a purely feel good tone to a show rather than pulse pounding drama and epic story arcs.
Besides, how can you not love moments like when Fluttershy is magically cursed with the voice of a smooth Chris Isaacs-esque Jazz singer?

I can't believe no one else has mentioned it yet but Adventure Time.

How am I the only one watching kids shows that aren't MLPFIM?

[Illithid]

Game of Thrones, The Office and The I.T. Crowd

I remember a lot of people, back mid season 1 mlpfim (when it was a huge hype on the Internet) it was similarly popular to say adventure time.

I don't like adventure time, persononally. I don't like tv where the only humor that is possible comes from the concept of being random and stupid. it's like a more innocent version of family guy to me, but family guy none the less.

I enjoy the characters. I enjoy the outside references (the big labousky, the hulk, Godzilla, mr T, ext) I enjoy that I laugh not because someone did something stupid, but because someone did something that meets with their personality and the other characters do something with their personality trusts in respond that is humorous. They don't have to try to be funny, it's not forced humor. They are characters with real personalities, that you can relate to other people you know in real life.

Maybe jake in adventure time is like that, maybe you can relate him to someone. All I know Is that when he does something, it's out of a impulse that can usually be described as "stupid" and the things that happen that are funny happen out of nowhere and don't make sense or advance the plot in any way.

Just me, I know there are a lot of people who like it, equally and sometimes more than mlpfim

I like Adventure Time. Any show that can come up with the idea for a character like the Cat of Approximate Knowledge is doing something right. Jake is also a great character.

Other than that, Dan Vs. is also a great show if a little base in its humour sometimes.

polly: Ah, Garth Merengi. One day I will remember the name of the afro guy who is also in the IT Crowd and The Mighty Boosh.

I've become a big fan of the E4 lot - How I Met Your Mother, Big Bang Theory (even if it is incredibly offensive to nerds), Suburgatory, Two Broke Girls, etc. Easy to lose entire evenings on that (at least until Hollyoaks shows up. I hate that show. HATE)
