Cougar Town perfectly achieves what it sets out to achieve. Can't say the same for Breaking Bad thus far.

Mad Men. Shudder. That show redefines the meaning of dull.

Exactly. It's a soap opera for men, minus the trashy fun. It is truly dull television.
You guys need to learn to watch TV better.
Sure why not?

Every time I read one of Irish's post, I now have this playing in my head thanks to you.

Might as well throw this out there while I'm ruining my own television-watching reputation: along with the two shows previously mentioned, The Sopranos is one of, if not THE most overrated shows I've ever seen.
On a completely unrelated note: Game of Thrones sung by a cat.

Mad Men is the best show ever put on TV. And it has plenty of trashy fun.
I am impatient of all misery in others that is not mad. Thou should'st go mad, blacksmith; say, why dost thou not go mad? How can'st thou endure without being mad? Do the heavens yet hate thee, that thou can'st not go mad?

Gave up near the end of Season 2 and never looked back. I can watch an episode of it fine, but never got much out of it. That show is like the mobster version of Entourage.

It's one of the least fun shows I've ever watched. EVER. It has absolutely NO sense of humor.
Perfect comparison. I watched through the end of season two, and never felt any desire to watch the third season.
My comment was only intended to admit that its superficial, trashier aspects (lots of sex, brooding men, good-looking women, a very suave style and it knows it) are part of its appeal. But to say it has no sense of humor is just bizarre. It has many laugh-out-loud funny moments.

I barely liked it at all during the first and second seasons. However, seasons three and four are awesome, and actually make me like the first two more.
I don't like The Soparanos - mainly because I dislike almost everything that has to do with Italian mob fiction. Can't stand those kinds of trashy characters. I prefer triad and yakusa stuff when it comes to gangsters. Don't like mobsters or gang-bangers.
I like watching Mad Men because the chicks are super hot and the dudes are good looking. Great style. I also like the societal differences.
I love Entourage - although I need to see the last 2 seasons.
Don't bother. Just rewatch the first few seasons. You'll get more out of it.
I enjoyed the show when it centered on aspirational fantasy, but toward the end it just became more and more contrived and silly, and the jokes flatlined.
When Andre Dice Clay turns up on your show, you've really overstayed your welcome.
Not saying it can't be funny at times, just that the humor comes from (at least in the first season) pointing out the stark contrasts in office and household politics in the fifties and today. It's a superficial, banal type of humor, but the characters and the dialogue are all humorless, intent on achieving dramatic "edginess" and a constant brooding.
Been so long since I did a Sopranos marathon, one of my tops for tv.
That is not the main source of humour in the show, and doesn't really happen at all after the first season.
Agreed. It's one of the things that kept me from continuing the series at first.
Like I said, haven't made it past the first season, so my knowledge of the show is limited. I don't plan on going any further. There's just nothing about the show that works for me.
That's fine, but it means you're not relaly in a position to accurately comment on the weaknesses of a show that has evolved a lot in the subsequent seasons.
The Wire, what a piece of shit. Right guys?
That's not even funny.
Oh my god, how can you be so insensitive?
Movie Theater Diary
Just cops and robbers shit. Never moving on past the first season...
I initially did that too actually. Took almost two years for me to start season 2.
