Top TV Shows Of 2012

I probalby watched more TV shows this year than in recent years-catching up with some well received shows that I had missed the first time around. Here's my rankings:

1. Breaking Bad-can't wait to see how the writers will end it.

2. Mad Men-consistently excellent in all areas of production.

3. Boardwalk Empire-I don't know why I waited on this: Prohibition, gangsters, Martin Scorcese, Steve Buscemi, Michael Kenneth Williams, HBO, etc...this show really got its legs in the third season.

4. Justified-Rayland Givens is a guy you don't want to mess around with-created by Elmore Leonard.

5. Game of Thrones-fantasy usually not my thing, but HBO, great acting, and fascinating politics.

6. Louie-not really a comedy, but provocative story lines.

7. Community-the best comedy on TV.

8. 30 Rock-the second best comedy on TV.

9. Homeland-disappointed with season 2 and stopped watching, but season one is very compelling TV with great acting.

10. The Walking Dead-technically I haven't started watching season three, since I just finished season two. I liked it enough to continue on, but lacks the high level writng of the shows at the top of this list.

I've only seen the UK version of The Office and a few episodes of Parks and Recreation and it has potential. I'm selective in my TV viewings habits since I stream all of them.
