This
seems as good a place as any to talk about my favorite
television
shows. So many shows dance on and off the screen so
rapidly
that I’ll have to be updating this page constantly, but right
now,
the shows I’m enjoying include Breaking Bad, Doctor Who,
Sons
of Anarchy, Person of Interest, Community, 2 Broke Girls,
Castle,
Luther, Raising Hope, The Office, Parks and Recreation,
Glee,
Pan Am, Desperate Housewives, How to Be a Gentleman,
Project
Runway, Body of Proof, Fringe, Grey’s Anatomy,
Supernatural,
Archer, Hart of Dixie and Happy Endings.
And as always, that’s just what’s going on right now.
