I can't stack it up against Modern Family or even Mad Men, because they do different things for me. Can't say one makes me laugh more than the other makes me tense. I think calling it a Top 2 or 3 Suspenseful Drama on television is an accurate and impressive category. It sits with shows like LOST, but excludes shows like Mad Men. <br /><br />A show where I need to watch some Curb or some Californication after to cool down, means it took a lot out of me, which is a great thing.<br /><br />What other shows "take a lot out of you" besides LOST and Dexter? Where you need to watch a comedy after. It's a good question because these kinds of shows are an event and get people excited to sit and watch. It's like movie television I guess. One of those shows you have to be ready to watch, like sometimes I just won't be ready to watch Lost yet. I'll need to prepare myself. <br /><br />Occassionally this would include Rescue Me, Sons of Anarchy, Mad Men (although it's not edge of your seat, more middle of your seat), but I can't think of anything that hits this mark consistently like Lost and Dexter. Who else delivers 45 minutes of wire-to-wire tension week after week in the climactic stretch of their season?Smizzlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-25397366404176984282009-12-01T00:37:30.503-05:002009-12-01T00:37:30.503-05:00God bless you, Adam, for posting that Ice Hockey a...God bless you, Adam, for posting that Ice Hockey ad link.
