Another good show. Is TNT (or is it TBS?) picking up more episodes? I know they finished out the 2nd season after CBS or whomever curiously dropped it. They had some really powerful episodes.

Chicago Blue was another good one (from the creator of The Shield) that I was very disappointed it wasn't renewed.

A new season starts in January I believe. The second season was on TNT earlier this year. Outstanding.

Michelle Rodriguez, and the idiotic ending. Show had no consistency. Seemed each year the writers were surprised they lasted another season and it got more ridiculous/retarded as the series went on. Show was obvious that the writers had never planned for an ending. Just rubbish.

I agree with most of what you said Commander but I liked the character development and the story even though it did seem like they never had a plan as to where to go next. I often talked to my dad about that.

Did you watch every episode? Or are you just repeating something that you read?

No as its obvious I didn't care for the show I indeed did not watch every episode. However I stuck with the story as I was curious and have seen episodes from every season as I had friends who stuck with it expecting it to get better, which it never did.

They were renewed for three more seasons and knew their ending date three seasons before the end. So they knew when the end was coming. That makes most of your argument irrelevant. Having not watched it, you aren't really in a position to make the sweeping comments you did. Michelle Rodriguez was in one half of one season; agreed she wasn't great, but that is a small proportion of episodes. While the ending wasn't perfect, I found it perfectly satisfying.

Not counting comedies:

1. Sopranos
2. The Wire
3. LOST

Tons of shows have a chance to make it for me. About to start Breaking Bad, Dexter is a great ending away, Boardwalk is an awesome show for 1 season as was Walking Dead.

IMO, while the last few episodes of Sopranos were great, the majority of Seasons 4-6 were pretty subpar.

Great choices, but Weeds gets bad after three seasons. Like, very very bad.

Breaking Bad will probably climb up that list. Can't say enough good about that show.

Both are awesome. Entourage would probably have made my list if I was counting comedies.
