NOT PENNY'S BOAT.
I love how Mad Men topped the best TV shows of the year list here while Mad Max topped best Movies of the year list here.
This was truly the year of productions with 2 word titles and 6 alphabets where the first word is Mad and the second word also starts with M here at A.V Club.
Transparent Season 2 is a strange thing. It has a lot of amazing scenes but also some very weak scenes. It made Josh, Shelley and Sara compelling to watch but I was so bored watching the Ali scenes with the lesbian cougar.
The lesbians were way too 2 dimensional to take them seriously and to have that much time devoted…
Best Episodes-
1 Mad Men: “The Milk And Honey Route”- Don smiling, finally free of the Draper and Dick Whitman person

Fuck Yeah Mad Men
This is the first time the show has made Number 1 in Best of Year Shows at A.V. Club since it was always beaten by Breaking Bad.Even in 2012 where it had that magnificent 5th season while Breaking Bad had a relatively weaker year.
Man I can't be the only one who was incredibly turned on by the disciplinarian sequence? Because that was hot as fuck.
So 8 Cylon agents left
SPOILER Alert
Hmm part of the problem is how would Boomer know about the final five? She might know about D'Anna , Cavill and the doctor guy. But the final five are supposed to be mythological figures.
Man seeing Boomer's death was a gut punch.
Especially since it was done by Cally
Although SPOILER ALERT this started the weird cycle of the Chief's lovers being murdered by another one of his lovers.
Considering your love for Mad Men and Breaking Bad I would say there is a 99% chance you will love the shit out of Sopranos and think it as one of the greatest shows ever.
I would say Binge watch Friday Night Lights while watching 2-3 episodes of Sopranos in a week. Since Sopranos is quite episodic and has a lot of…
You know instead of the usual best TV shows of the year why don't we list the best TV couples of the year. This doesn't mean the cutest couples ever but the ones which are most compelling together, ones which can make you laugh or cry, the ones which you care about most.
Here I will start-
1 Jimmy and Gretchen ( You're…
And the 20 episodes per season thing didn't exactly help a hyper serialized show like this one.
Season 3 on the other hand. Especially the second half.
Say what you will about Season 4 but at least it was exciting with the Final 5 Cylons and the Mutiny Arc.
SPOILERS
And so begins BSG Season 2 which while may not be the show's tightest season but was its best.From the chaos of Kobol arc to the dueling Battlestars of Pegasus Arc to the game changing New Caprica Arc.(I tend to think the first 4 episodes of Season 3 as a part of Season 2)
I think doing 20 episodes per year…
I am half tempted to see the episode although the wiser part in me thinks it's better if I wait for the whole season in 2 weeks.
AvengerBowl Confirmed.
Get Hyped.
Kilgrave-"Do not be seen. Do not be heard'
Narrator -"You can always tell a Milford man."
But that can be said for a lot of TV shows. I mean look at The X-Files. Even in it's best seasons (2nd,3rd or 4th) there could be a great episode and then the next one could turn out to be bad..
Nah. Hawley can write great dialogue but no one can touch Milch in terms of verbal awesomeness.
Maybe they can have Hank as the main character with the show set in 50's. After all there aren't many shows set in the 50's and they would be able to avoid the 60's which has already been extensively covered by Mad Men.
