I'd also like to advocate for ALF.

My personal top 5 of the year:

The best show on television returns on my birthday? AND, THERE'S MORE NINA?!?!?!?!?

LET THE HODGIES HIT THE FLOOOOOOO

Yeah, I have the same Blu-Ray set, I believe. (The one that comes with Hearts of Darkness?)

As far as non-pop culture goes, my high school soccer team just won state, so that's big.

My all-time favorite moment from this show is when Ronnie screams at Vic, when he's being taken to jail.

There's gonna be a Downton Abbey and Mad Men crossover!

DEY PULLED ME BACK IN!!!!

Normally, I'd be opposed to clown shows, but with C.K. at the helm, I have high hopes for this one.

I don't think Breaking Bad is note-perfect. (It's very close, though.) I do think that it is the only show that I can think of that never made a storytelling misstep, which is more than worthy of praise.

I'm sure some people here would like to have a word with you.

Who cares? It's still one of the all time greats. I'm sure nobody nowadays argues that it's THE greatest, (everyone seems to have moved on to Breaking Bad) but the show's accomplishments are great enough that I will always be glad that I watched it. R.I.P. James Gandolfini

McConaughey wasn't competing in the Lead Actor in a Miniseries award. True Detective submitted its considerations under Drama Series awards, so McConaughey (and, by extension, True Detective) was competing against Bryan Cranston and Breaking Bad, respectively.

Howdy. I just wanted to compliment you on your incredible work here in these comment sections. You write a kind of analysis and panache rarely seen, and I hope that your talents take you places, because (if there is any good in the world) they should.

Call me crazy, but I think Jim Parsons' portrayal of Sheldon is probably in a higher tier of actors than that James Gandolfini and Bryan Cranston.

Also, can I just say, unrelated?

The best part of the night, for me, was when Julia Robert's self-righteous ass was announcing the nominees for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, and she gave a little "extra," if you will, when announcing Matthew McConaughey. (She clearly placed her bets on him.) The disappointment in her voice when she read…

It's definitely not for everyone, but I love that finale. I'm not even going to go into the overt and deliberate symbolism laid out across the massive season, while realigning David Chases' worldview all at once. When Tony talks about his mother to his psychiatrist, he is completely lost, and his spiritual journey is…

It's Matt Boner Time!
