I just labored through season one. I'd heard good things. IMO this is nothing more than a supernatural soap opera.
Where to begin...
Too many characters, too much story, not scary, characters making dumb decisions, ghosts making dumb decisions, scenes that end awkwardly and cut to the next one because the writing is too lazy too transition smoothly or just plain make no sense, no reason for twelve episodes to tell this story. I liked the first couple episodes then it went all Days of our Lives Horror story with no horror and a truckload of drama. Terrible.
Please tell me it gets better than this in terms of STYLE.
But goddamn that red-headed maid...

I had high hopes because... well Jessica Lange. Just don't see it.
Now... I am almost all the way through Archer and will be looking for another show my wife and I can power watch at times. Unfortunately, we have watched most of the series out there. Still - if anyone has suggestions, we'd certainly check them out. BTW - good nudity carries extra points as far as I'm concerned.
A run down on what we've watched and I'll give them a simple + for good (multiple+ if really good) an = if just watchable, and a - if bad. Of course just what I thought but there you go.
Weeds ++++
Archer ++++
Breaking Bad ++++
Orange is the new Black +
Marco Polo +
American Horror Story -
The Borgias +
Tudors ++
Black List +++
White Collar +/=
Louie =
Family Guy =
American Dad -
United States of Tara =
Burn Notice +
Anthony Bourdain - Parts Unknown ++
Kitchen Confidential ++++
Game of Thrones +++
Sons of Anarchy ++
House of Cards =/-
Dexter ++++
I know there are more. But if any of you have any favorites that aren't on my list, I'd love to check them out.

Oh, man, where do I start?
Cartoons and Anime
Teen Titans (the episodes were so amazing, although the end was kinda...bleh.)
Static Shock (this show was amazing. It's not often that you see real life issues in cartoons for kids.)
Batman Beyond (creepy as hell sometimes, but another great show.)
Danny Phantom (love the three-man band. Love the powers. Just amazing.)
Xiaolin Showdown (really, really awesome, especially the ending. The ending was amazing.)
Pokemon (only because I watched it and it shaped my interests as a kid. I did /not/ like the anime that much.)
Black Lagoon (only the most fucking awesome show ever. Pirates, Mafiya, Triads, and everything in between. Love everything about it...especially Balalaika.)
Avatar: The Last Airbender (Sokka for the win! Just had to say that. But everything about that show is great.)
Avatar: The Legend of Korra (Some hated the show. I loved it. It was just as good as - if not better than - the first.)
TV Shows
Game of Thrones (best television show ever. Of all time.)
Breaking Bad (man, I loved that show. It had a great ending as well.)
The Walking Dead (zombies? Inner-party conflict? Count me in!)
Those are really the only television shows I'm watching right now, and I'm only really including favorites. But there's one more show I have to mention:
Machinima (Online Show)
Red vs. Blue.
I have to go on and on about how awesome this show is. The plot is full of twists and turns, the acting is really good for most of the people not being actors, and now? They're doing animation. Machinima is usually video game characters interacting within the game (in this case, Halo.) But they've added animation as well, and it's been amazing. The characters are lovable. Just...it'll be worth your time. I promise.

Red vs. Blue is pretty good. Been a while since I've seen any, but I watched it when they first made the episodes.
Since then, I would also like to add Rick and Morty to the adult cartoons list. These writers are so witty and hilarious, it's been a while since I've seen an animated show this good.
New episodes are on Sunday nights on adult swim, 10:30pm CT. This is only their second season too, so it's easy to get caught up. You can stream all the episodes in high quality on Kodi using Genesis then Genres then Animation (and it should be one of the first ones).

Forgot about Sopranos ++, The Wire ++++, and Walking Dead ++++
I may have to give Arrested Development another try. I don't remember why we only watched a couple of them.

There weren't many episodes of Arrested Development.
I should probably support Kirkman and watch the Walking Dead but I'm not really interested in zombies.

Me either really. It's more about the characters in the show than really about zombies. But in this case, the zombies are pretty cool too and they find some fun ways to off them.

OK... so I'm pretty old...
But, as a kid, I liked Bugs Bunny and all the Warner Bros. (Looney Tunes) cartoons. Wasn't really into Disney. Then, there were all those "bleed over" cartoon shows:
The World of Commode McBragg... which had Tennessee Tuxedo in it.
Ricochet Rabbit and Droop-a-long... which had Magilla Gorilla.
Of course, Bullwinkle ... which had tons of "embedded snippets", some of which were genius (Boris Badenov and Natasha).
I remember coming home from school and watching repeats of shows like Gilligan's Island, The Munsters, Speed Racer, Super man (the original series with George Reeves).
Loved The Honeymooners - still do!
The Three stooges! Classic television for the ages.
Loved the detective shows... Mannix, Mission Impossible... Cannon... yes, even Barnaby Jones... Man from U.N.C.L.E. (yes, I saw the movie... it was "ok").
Star Trek!
Now-a-days, I just watch whatever's on... haven't gotten into a series since Breaking Bad. Believe it or not, I'm hooked on "Love it or List it".
Last night, I watched the 30-on-30 about the 1983 draft. Interesting to see Demoff's dad - who represented both Elway and Marino... think he didn't make some change there?
I'm all over the place (like my musical tastes).

Watched the one about evangelists last night... hilarious!
Forgot a few series while I was growing up:
* All in the Famil (and it's spin-offs)
* Hawaii Five-O
* M.A.S.H.
In later years... Seinfeld, of course.
* Everybody Loves Raymond (he was in a show a few years back called "Men of a Certain Age"... it was excellent!)
I reserve the right to add to this list as I wish!

HA!!! Great call! I worked with a guy who we called Commode McBragg! He said (among other things) that he was 'involved" in the Japanese surrender in WWII, and he taught 'the Mick' (Mickey Mantle) how to hit the curveball while 'dating' his girlfriend. No shit, I swear!
Of course, nowadays nobody gets that reference or my terrific impersonation of Tudor the Turtle.
