Dexter
What can I say? They set the bar ridiculously high last season with arguably one of the best season finales I’ve ever seen, so it’s still tough to say whether season 5 will pale in comparison, but so far considering how they pretty much hit the ground running right where the last season left off, so far, not bad.
The Apprentice
You know this show is headed downhill when their biggest sponsors are popcorn vendors and shoe makers, although I’m sure if you asked Trump, he’d tell you that each are billion dollar industries!!! I definitely enjoy the celebrity version better because there’s a lot less drama – Gene Simmons really doesn’t have much to lose if he gets “fired” – but aside from a few horrible calls recently, this is still one of the better shows I’m watching right now. Not sure what that means…
Weeds
I really only watch this show for novelty at this point. It lost me a couple of seasons ago, but I’ll still watch if I happen to catch it while my wife has it on or something. The individual episodes are still funny, but the overall story arc for me fizzled out two seasons ago.
Top Chef: Just Desserts
This one is just about dead to me. Maybe it’s because they have a bad cast, maybe it’s just because all pastry chefs are catty, gay bitches, but there’s just nothing there in this show for me, which is weird because, well, it’s a tv show about dessert!
Californication
Not on TV, but my wife and I started watching the DVDs when we got back from vacation and are absolutely loving this show! It’s become our new show that we pretty much watch an entire DVD from start to finish when it shows up from Netflix – we’re currently halfway through season 2, so we’ve at least got another 18 episodes left to go. It’s funny – David Duchovny is hilarious; it’s risqué – because, well, you know; and it tells the tale of a struggling writer … what’s not to love?!
Bored to Death
Another one about a writer, sure, but as quirky as this one is, I think I really like it. It has a real down-to-earth feel, like Curb Your Enthusiasm or Flight of the Conchords … maybe it’s an HBO thing. So far I’ve only had a chance to watch the first episode of the new season, but this is a fun one that I really enjoy.
