Year end wrap up

Every year I like to do my wrap up of television faves & this year will be a short one...I have to say that 2012 was not the best year of television in my opinion.  I stopped watching more shows than I started watching so this will be a fairly short post.

Favorite season of a drama I already watch - Breaking Bad
Least favorite season of a drama I already watch - True Blood
Favorite season of a comedy I already watch - Raising Hope
Least favorite season of a comedy I already watch - How I Met Your Mother
Favorite season of Real Housewives - Beverly Hills
Least favorite season of Real Housewives - New Jersey
Favorite season of a reality show - Chicagolicious
Least Favorite season of a reality show - Giuliana & Bill
Show I will probably ditch in 2013 - Glee
Show I pay for that I'm most looking forward to in 2013 - toss up between Girls & Shameless
Network/basic cable show I'm most looking forward to in 2013 - Mad Men
Show I'm most sad will be ending in 2013 - Breaking Bad
New show I'm looking forward to in 2013 - The Following

That pretty much sums it up...I would like to add that I don't miss any of the shows I gave up this season one bit...I've found plenty to replace it!!

Girls...I watched it...

Last Sunday I tuned in to the series premiere of Girls on HBO & I had only seen a couple previews so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect.  I was pleasantly surprised by how well the humor balanced with the sadness of everything.  The main character Hannah isn't the hottest chick but she totally believes in herself until her parents tell her they are cutting her off which makes her tell her boss that she can no longer intern for free & needs to be paid.  This of course causes her to lose her job & then she sleeps with that guy, the guy who never calls unless he wants something & you know you shouldn't be seeing him but you can't help it...him.  Anyway, there is far more to the show than just that, there are other girls (they are all in their early 20's) on the show of course & I think I'm going to continue watching this one.  If you haven't seen it yet I suggest you give it a shot...it's on Sunday nights from10:30 to 11 on HBO.  For more about the show click here.
