What THE best tv shows of 2012

[dixiegrrrrl]

that I am missing because I have no tv?

Would like to know why they are the "best".

Ones I DO get to see and really like are:
Treme
Downton Abbey
Boardwalk Empire
Breaking Bad
Parks and Recreation

So, besides these............

[Pryderi]

1. Modern Family nt

[dixiegrrrrl]

3. I keep hearing about Modern Family.

And, lately, about Bob's Burgers.

[OriginalGeek]

5. I don't know when the new season starts but

you need to get you some Justified. Easily my favorite hour drama. Timothy Olyphant is a national treasure.

I also love Bob's Burgers and Modern Family.

We are big fans of Grimm at our house - it's silly fun. - Grimm's fairy tales made real and the cop who has to catch all the weird creatures.

[dixiegrrrrl]

6. Great minds.....

Got Justified..it is a fun watch... while Raylan is a cutie, I actually have been a fan of Walter Goggins who plays Boyd Crowder, he is from Birmingham, Al.
I will check out Grimm..have heard about it.Thanks.

[OriginalGeek]

9. Oh yeah, Boyd is a fantastic character

and Walter plays him perfectly. I used to love him on The Shield.


Grimm episodes are somewhat self contained with a main story each week but there is also an ongoing plot-line that needs to be seen in order so start at the beginning.

21. The Good Wife

I love this show, I know it's a procedural legal drama (with some big embellishments) but it's great to watch and the story arcs have been fun.

The show also has quite a strong cast! It stars Julianna Margulies, Christine Baranski, Archie Panjabi, Matt Czuchry, and Josh Charles, and features Chris Noth, Nathan Lane, Michael J Fox in a recurring roles.

2. This is an area in which I am completely (like really completely) without a clue.

I shut off the TV 30 years ago.

4. Dexter, the Walking Dead, and i see that you've already listed Breaking Bad...

so that just about covers it.

[dixiegrrrrl]

7. The Walking Dead..hmmm

I had given that a pass just from the title and topic...maybe I am missing something, like really really good writing or plots or funny as hell????

[BlueMan Votes]

8. Based on a series of graphic novels(comic books) set in a zombie-filled semi-dystopian near-future..

and if you like the genre- then yes, it's a pretty good viddy. with generally good writing and plenty of quality production values/special effects. the half-hour fan show Talking Dead that follows it, with real-time discussion of the night's episode with celebrity guests is just the icing on the cake.

when you add the aforementioned shows with 60 Minutes, the Amazing Race, Family Guy, and American Dad-
(and seasonally adjust for True Blood)
sundays are the biggest tv night of the week in our house.

16. Dumbass zombie soap opera. nt

19. If you are curious about it,

Like all great shows its best to start from the beginning. There are only 2 or 3 episodes left until it takes a 2+ month hiatus. If you are curious, you could probably check out season 1, 2 and the first half of 3 in the meantime.

14. I'm always a season behind on Dexter. Love the show though!

I'm on the season with the Doomsday Killer right now. Fucking creepy.

[BlueMan Votes]

17. get ready for a MAJOR cliffhanger of an ending...similar in WOW! factor as what happened with Rita-

at the end of season 4 (trinity).
you're lucky- you won't have to wait a full year for a resolution.

i started watching Dexter after the 4th season- and i watched all 4 seasons over a 3-day weekend.

same story with Breaking Bad- 4 seasons in 3 days.

you just can't stop watching them.

[Initech]

18. Dexter and Breaking Bad- both great shows!

Trinity was without a doubt one of the craziest, creepiest villains in recent history. John Lithgow was so great in this role it almost kind of sucked that they killed him off.

[femmocrat]

10. I really liked the one about the Midwife on PBS.

Not sure if it is still on.

I am totally addicted to Boardwalk Empire.

The Newsroom and VEEP (both on HBO) were good, too. I don't watch much TV, except MSNBC, Jon Stewart, etc... but I made a point of recording those shows.

[dixiegrrrrl]

22. VEEP?

Never even heard of it till now...will check it out.

Boardwalk Empire was a slow starter for me, than I got hooked.
Good Wife is terrific, indeed very "compelling" as they say.

[graywarrior]

11. Sons of Anarchy

Revenge
American Horror Story

[Love Bug]

12. SHERLOCK

From the BBC, natch.

[kenziemom06]

13. Some cable, some network

Homeland (Showtime)
Nashville (ABC)
Person of Interest (CBS)
The Good Wife (CBS)
Downton Abbey (PBS)

15. Breaking Bad kicks ass. Say my name! *spoilers*

Dealer: Who are you?
Walt: I'm the cook. I'm the guy who killed Gus Fring.
Dealer: Bullshit. Cartel got Fring.
Walt: Did they? Now say my name.
Dealer: You're Heisenberg.
Walt: You're god damn right.

20. What THE best tv shows of 2012

According to me Arrow is one of the best show of 2012. All the episodes of this show are too good.
