Give it a try, you won't be dissapointed.

I have heard of Sleepy Hollow before but have not taken the time to watch. I get so wrapped up in my silly reality shows I forget there are some legit series to see!

Show's I'm watching/watched: Misfits (U.K) Scandal Orange Is the New Black House of Cards (I need to catch up) The Newsroom (disappointed that it's ending soon) Real World The Challenge Elementary (Need to catch up on this season, which is sad. I was obsessed with this show) Bob's Burgers (Idk why, when I was out of the country this show would play all the time and I fell in love with Tina) Big Brother (watching this season but rarely, and it will probably go back to 'rarely' with this season) Freaks & Geeks (and oldie, but I re-watched it a while back and loved it) Workaholics (I haven't seen this current season except for the first episode) Broad City (I watched it online at night sometimes and became obsessed) The Mole (and old tv show, but I recommend it if you enjoy shows like "Whodunnit", it's about how one person in the group is a mole and tries to hold the group back from earning money and the rest of the cast tries to figure who is the mole. Each week they get a test, and whoever gets the most incorrect gets eliminated. The shows are youtube (Season 1 was my favorite), there was even a celebrity mole season.) all I can think of right now. *How can I forget the great, Shameless

Same here, all my friends and cousins pushed me into watching it and I kept hearing about. But I'm upset that I'm gonna have to wait a year for the next season. House of Cards, it's tough in the beginning. I remember it took me like a week to get through the first few episodes but once I got through them I was hooked. I still havent finished season 2 but I'm almost done. I need to get on that, because it's been a while. Some crazy stuff happens though. Elementary was just had a flawless season 1 and I adore Johnny Lee Miller as an actor but season 2 doesn't compare. But I know I'll marathon it soon. The whole love thing going on with Watson, idk I'm not into it. So I think that's what been pushing me away. I have not seen the British verison, but I've heard a lot of good things about it. I'll try it though. Freaks and Geeks is just a classic. No one can hate it. I cant believe I forgot to add Shameless, I'm gonna have to edit that on my original post. That show is one of my all time favorites.

Just some of my favorites. Orange is the New Black Six Feet Under Orphan Black (all of you go watch immediately) Shameless Dexter Girls Revenge MasterChef (not scripted, but I'm a sucker for cooking shows) Harpers Island Nikita Psych American Horror Story All I can think of off the top go my head.

American Horror Story is another great one. My favorite has to be Asylun by a mile. Coven started great, but it went downhill fast. Now, Freakshow looks absolutely insane, it has the potential to be the best season yet.

The books are better and aren't exactly the same with the tv show, it has different stories/drama along with it (Which I find better). But I really do hope someone puts Aria in her place, the most obnoxious character.

Tough to think of all the scripted shows I've watched over the last year. These come to mind: Revenge True Blood Covert Affairs - Piper PeraYES! The Walking Dead Halt and Catch Fire - Computers and sexiness FTW. The Bridge **** on Wheels Orphan Black - Yup, as good as Fab says! The Emmy statue should be a bust of Tatiana Maslany. Doctor Who Homeland HIMYM The Good Wife - Probably the best show on network TV right now. True Detective - The best series of the year, hands down. It was awesome. Downton Abbey - Hmm...I really don't have anything I can say to defend this one, heh. Sherlock - Benedict Cumberbatch. Need I say more? The Americans Modern Family - I'm up to mid season 2 and it's a great 22 minute time burner when I need something to watch. Justified - Raylan is a ******! Grey's Anatomy - I've stuck with it and it has gotten better. House of Cards - Season 1 was great. Still waiting on season 2. The Leftovers Veep - Much funnier than I thought it was going to be. I marathoned. Newsroom - They hit their stride in season 2. Sucks there will be no season 4.

The season 2 plot is much weaker than season 1, but it's a good marathoning type show. I can't give it a recommend, but I'm invested so I'm watching. The Bridge is True Detective, before True Detective. Not HBO cool, but still gritty with lots of crazy **** happening and twists. Major twists. I think season 1 is worth viewing although I can see it being hit or miss with some people. It's at least worth two episodes of your time. This Fargo thing is bothering me as I put if off after viewing a pilot I liked (but didn't love) and now I just need to push play on episode two. It's high on my list, behind Orange is the New Black. When I think of Hannibal I think of the movie that did not live up to Silence of the Lambs. Maybe I need to rethink that. It's one of those weird biases that stick with a person.
