1. "Breaking Bad" is a fairly-close second-place finisher.

I have yet to see a single minute of any of the others mentioned in the poll.

2. I've never really watched any of them...

[ZombieHorde]

4. If you enjoy shows, you should check some of them out. nt

[bench scientist]

3. GoT is my favorite with WD 2nd

[OriginalGeek]

42. Of those I picked True Blood

but I also would have picked GoT had it been there with Justified a pretty close second.

[bench scientist]

48. oh I love Justified!

Raylan and Boyd are the best. ( but there is a special place in my heart for Art).

[Mira]

5. Only know Newsroom and Breaking Bad

in spite of my age and being such a rabid Democrat = it's Breaking Bad without a doubt.
"I AM the one who knocks..."

[ZombieHorde]

6. Breaking Bad is an awesome show. nt

[Mira]

12. My grandson got me to sit down and watch one episode

then he came back and saw me through a few more (he goes to college near my house) and since I draw a line at not watching violent things he watched me change my tune just this once.

After that, I sat up whenever I was not working and wide eyed made my way through the Breaking Bad seasons.
It's the best show ever - not counting "The West Wing", which simply stands all by itself not unlike BBad.

I can't wait for August 11, I think that's when it starts again.

[pokerfan]

23. In my opinion, Breaking Bad is the best television series of all time

Better than The Wire, West Wing, Six Feet Under, just to name a few other series I really love. I only started watching last summer, starting from the beginning—you can't jump into this show midstream—and I was hooked after the first episode. It's as addictive as the blue stuff Walter and Jesse cook. It's a modern tragedy and it's not going to end well.

"We are going to swing for the fences in these final eight episodes. It’s terrifying, and yet it’s liberating for me and for the writers to know that these are the final eight hours that we’ll ever have for this series. <...> We now have freedom, carte blanche I suppose, to dispense with the timid, pusillanimous storytelling we’ve been doing so far." -Vince Gilligan

August 11 can't get here soon enough...

Breaking Bad: The Animated Series:


Hank puts two and two together:

[gvstn]

49. Vince Gilligan taught me a new word

pusillanimous: Showing a lack of courage or determination; timid.

And I agree, BB is perhaps the best series that I have ever seen.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

7. Real Time is the only one I occasionally watch

I haven't seen the others so I can't comment. I've kind of gotten a little burnt out lately on Real time though.

[bluedigger]

8. The last two choices really don't go with the others, do they?

I assume you mean Real Time with Bill Maher, and I've never even heard of Say Yes to the Dress...

Kind of an odd group to choose from.

[ZombieHorde]

10. Those are the shows that are watched in my home.

Except for Newsroom. My wife and I plan on watching when we can though. And yes, I do mean RT with Bill Maher. Say Yes to the Dress is a reality show about a bridal shop that tries to sell dresses to brides to be. You'll see some women come into the shop, try on dresses, and then they usually buy one. I can't get into it, but my wife just loves it.

[Warren DeMontague]

9. My top fictional shows on tv (as in, nothing with stephen hawking or michio kaku)

Game of Thrones, breaking bad, mad men ... with boardwalk empire trailing after.

Walking dead is good, newsroom is marginal, but those 4 are the peak.

[ZombieHorde]

11. Game of Thrones is high on my list of TV shows to watch. nt

[Warren DeMontague]

13. Given the admittedly small amount i know about you, i do think you'd like it.

I watched season one, got hooked and promptly ran out and read the books.

I was one of those nerdy D&D kids, back pre-computers, but i could never sit down and read Tolkien.. Too dry. But George RR Martin spins a great yarn.

[ZombieHorde]

14. I bet I will like it. nt

[yellowdogintexas]

36. GRRM is the awesome!!!! Devout fan

but it wasn't in the poll
I love Newsroom and Boardwalk Empire and Breaking Bad and True Blood and it was difficult to choose.

"A Song of Ice and Fire" has been a hot topic of discussion since my daughter brought "Game of Thrones" into our house 13 years ago when she was around 15 and after reading it gave it to my husband and said "You are going to love this Dad" and then I read it . "Storm of Swords" came out that Christmas and we fought over who would read it first. I have read the first 3 books 3 times each and book 4 twice. Book 5 only once.

Every Sunday night we watch the current episode of Game of Thrones twice.

we are so hooked ..we get on the phone with our daughter in Arizona and have long talks about the plot line and what we think he is going to do with certain characters.

[yellowdogintexas]

39. my current read is "Fevre Dream" early GRRM vampire novel

starting out good

[HarveyDarkey]

15. Never seen any of them

Needless to say I don't have an opinion.

[RiffRandell]

16. Torn between BB and Walking Dead.

I guess I'll go with WD because of Daryl.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

17. Person of Interest!

I love the duo of Mr. Reese and Mr. Finch.

[bcbink]

18. Yes to the dress is the only one I have seen.

[In_The_Wind]

19. Outta the loop again, I've never watched any of those shows.

[AsahinaKimi]

20. Not having a TV...

I have not seen any of them, however..I am just now enjoying season three of Game of Thrones. I am on episode 8..two more to go. I hope it continues.. or at least goes another season.

[yellowdogintexas]

38. GOT is in production for Season 4 now.

You can expect at least 2 more seasons after that since season 4 is based on the second half of book 3.

Seasons 5 and 6 should combine stuff from books 4 and 5 (the novels split the timeline with only half the characters in each book)
The series appears to be working towards integrating the two books chronologically to keep the characters working. If HBO is willing and the ratings stay as high as they are, conceivably 3 seasons could be milked out of books 4 & 5.

Then book 6 will be out and the show goes on.

One of the best adaptations ever; while there are some deviations in the storyline, the casting has been so incredibly perfect that I can forgive them a lot.

Only a few have been better: "To Kill a Mockingbird" (perfect)

"The GodFather" (nearly perfect) "Gone With the Wind" pretty darn close

[walkerbait41]

21. Of all the shows

The "The Walking Dead" is the only one we watch

[pipi_k]

22. Only saw

"Yes to the dress" once.

The rest, never saw.

Don't really have a favorite show, except, as someone else wrote above it's something with Stephen Hawking or Michio Kaku or Neil degrasse Tyson in it.


PS...not being a snob...I just like Science a lot.

[benld74]

24. Walking dead only because I still havent seen Breaking Bad!

[Shrek]

35. You are correct

Walking Dead is incredible but Breaking Bad is on a whole different level.

[yellowdogintexas]

37. Breaking Bad is in its own league . (nt)

[GoneOffShore]

25. Haven't seen any of them.

[Brother Buzz]

26. This cable challenged soul is presently watching Breaking Bad on Netflix so it gets my vote.

The others, I've never seen.

[Scuba]

27. I've never seen any of them, although I've seen clips from "Newsroom" and "Real Time".

I'm still pulling for "That Was The Week That Was" to make a comeback.

[Inkfreak]

28. Walking Dead over Breaking Bad. It's like Sophie's Choice.

[Initech]

29. Love: Breaking Bad, Dexter, Real Time, Boardwalk Empire.

I haven't seen enough of The Newsroom to have an opinion but I like what I have seen. Can't stand True Blood, and Say Yes To The Dress I definitely could live without seeing.

[Broken_Hero]

30. Walking Dead, just finished season III on Vudu the other day

I like Breaking Bad, but after the season II ender I have zero sympathy or love for Walter White.

[hunter]

31. No cable. No Satellite. And I like it that way.

Our television is connected to a VCR and a DVD player. Sometimes we'll rent something from the RedBox.

[MrSlayer]

32. Dexter.

But I love Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, Newsroom, Boardwalk and Real Time too.

I would add Hell on Wheels and Game of Thrones too.

[Shrek]

33. You forgot "Mad Men"

Which is just slightly ahead of Walking Dead but way behind Breaking Bad.

[LWolf]

34. I've never seen any of them. nt

[Brigid]

41. "Walking Dead."

Gotta have my zombie show!

And I'm waiting for "The Vikings" to return, but that isn't until next year.

[BainsBane]

43. A couple of years ago I would have said Dexter

but it's run its course. He needs to get caught. I watched the Walking Dead a few weekends ago when AMC run all the episodes. I DVRed them and watched them all within about a week's time. I was really grossed out at first but eventually got into the story.

My favorites shows aren't on that list, however. I would put Homeland first, Game of Thrones second and either Major Crimes or the Killing third.

[nirvana555]

44. Breaking Bad may quite possibly be be best show ever on T.V. It's perfect. (IMHO)N/T

[BainsBane]

45. I've never watched that one.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

46. Breaking Bad

hands down. My son does a great imitation of Salamanca, the bell ringer.

But oh, how I also loved Doc Martin and Foyle's War.

[Fla Dem]

47. Haven't watched any of them. n/t

[Kaleva]

50. Haven't seen any of them.

[Smarmie Doofus]

51. Near as I can tell, I've never seen any of them.

And I'm paying 160 bucks a month for cable plus internet.

[one_voice]

52. I can't vote...

I can't decide which one to pick.

I watch more than one and I've just started to watch Breaking Bad.

Breaking Bad and Walking Dead too hard to choose..

[bigwillq]

53. Newsroom

Not sure I've seen any of the others.

edit: I've seen Dexter. I like it. But I guess Newsroom is still my fave of that bunch.

[stevenleser]

54. Simple answer...

[Kali]

55. I haven't watched teevee since the late 80s or early 90s

but the kids got me started on Breaking Bad and it is fucking EXCELLENT, best teevee I have ever watched.

[Demo_Chris]

56. I am watching Breaking Bad on Netflix. Best show I have ever seen...

Honestly, I don't think anything else is even close.
