    Weeds...but only first three or so seasons. After that it goes off a cliff.

    Breaking Bad is great, but then it too has lost something.

    May I suggest Party Down? It's only two seasons (20 episodes). Ran on Starz and is sort of like the British version of The Office (dramatic in parts, but hilarious in others). Lizzy Caplan is hot.

    Starting this now. Love Ken Marino and Megan Mulally. I'm a little stoked after seeing the cast. Thanks for the recommendation.

    Starz is doing some good stuff with Party Down, Gravity, the Sparticus series and now Torchwood: Miracle Day. We only watch Gravity and Torchwood, but both are very good.
    Showtime shows worth catching up on are Shameless (amazing) and Episodes.

    It's hilarious. Make sure you watch the extra scene they always have after the first credits.

    If you want something breezy that won't tax your brain too much, check out "Castle." The leads have a ton of chemistry, and Nathan Fillion is pretty much my extended man-crush at this point. It reminds me a lot of a really well-done version of a good 1980s comedy/mystery (like "Remington Steele" but occasionally played a little more seriously).

    The Internet rumors are that Treme is mostly sticking around because HBO is trying to convince Simon to do a sixth season of the The Wire. No idea how valid it is.

    Party Down may have been as close to perfectly done as any show ever made. Hilarious, but with a lot of heart underneath the jokes. Fantastic ending too.

    I am undeniably in crush with Nathan Fillion. Have been since "Waitress."

    Necessary Roughness is a bit of a soft drama, but it's pretty entertaining, and Callie Thorne is easy on the eyes.

    Don't hate on that show. It's not "quality," but it's entertaining.

    My summer shows I've been enjoying, including Franklin and Bash, are
    1) Suits - I'm a sucker for lawyer shows
    2) Wilfred - It took Mrs. Rhody and I two episodes to realize we like this show
    3) Big Brother - long time watcher
    4) Dance Moms - I never said that.

    Callie Thorne is yet another reason to watch The Wire, although she's not in every episode, but she does have a nude scene or two in it.
