Favorite Television Shows 2010-2019

Not a lot of details to add about many of these shows at this time. But I can say now looking back at the last decade, there have been a lot of good shows that are all-time favorites of mine like Breaking Bad, Psych and The Big Bang Theory. However the common coined term the current age of being "The Golden Age of Television" I really don't agree with at all.

At least in comparing it to other times like the 80's especially or even the 2000's.

I think it may be the most dramatic change in TV in terms of now having Streaming services and Internet shows/specials, etc.

And of course modern technology and what can be done with effects of course, that happens/improves with each era.

I should write an article like this (if I haven't already)

http://www.letoilemagazine.com/2013/07/10/we-will-rock-you-try-some-prog-please-for-me/

The guy, Jon Hunt, makes a lot of legitimate points.

I've turned my poor wife into a prog rock fan. And she's got *quite* particular taste. I can't just force her to listen to any old damn thing and have her like it; six years into our relationship, and she*still* doesn't love heavy metal, really. But prog rock? Yeah, I've seen her actually put it on the turntable (well, computer) herself. She's proof positive, I think, that if you actually stop and listen to this stuff, you *might* actually like it.

So, The Big Bang Theory (Chuck Lorre), go ahead and start using the prog references/implementing them into some of your shows scripts. Psych I suppose as well, but TBBT IS MAINSTREAM and ABOUT NERDS/SCIFI.

Anyway, I guess this guy claims to be the biggest Michael Nesmith fan in Minnesota, which I will argue for my girlfriend or my friend Diana G as well, but I don't know him too well. Although given this article, I might want to get in touch with him at some point.

2012 Golden Globes

a few names nice to see like Johnny Galecki for The Big Bang Theory, but as it always happens, far too many omissions like Psych. I have yet to see a number of the movies nominated, namely Moneyball. But I'm starting to wonder if this year could end up being an even worse year for movies than last year.


Ricky Gervais is hosting again, which should be worth watching these alone for.

I'll try and find the time soon around or after the 2011 Album Index is done to dissect these as I like to do.
