Community is excellent, and I'm glad you agree. I knew you were an excellent colleague.
It's really much funnier than any description of it would predict. Although I know some cc folks out there who are offended by the show.
I think you have to get a good run at Community. I watched a current(-ish) episode recently and thought, I am underwhelmed. But I think I will try to start from the beginning and watch several episodes in a row to see if I fall for it. So many people I know--you, MB, the dean of Learning Resources at our school--love it that I think I must just need to give it an optimal shot.
Is it Big Love you loved? You said True Love at the end, but I didn't see a True Love in the list. I think I need to watch that show as well. Or is it True Blood? In which case, never mind.
I love beyond reason The Closer also. I know it is just a cop show. But I lurve it. I just have to add that to this discussion.
In conclusion, television is amazing. And thank you for posting this list. I truly, truly appreciate it.
lisa b., if you watch Community from the beginning I think you will love it. It is worth it. There are occasional episodes that are underwhelming, but as a whole it is amazing. and middlebrow, those offended cc folks should probably take themselves less serious.
also, lisa b., at the end I meant True Blood. It is just vampires, but something about it is really good--but also ridiculous. Big Love, I do not love it. But I can't stop watching it. It's complicated.
How do you manage to watch Top Chef? Netflix only has season five, which Ed and I devoured and now want more more more but we don't have cable and don't want to purchase DVDs.
Sarah, Itunes. Not the most cost-effective way to watch tv, but it's convenient (a little too convenient)
