Fan Pages

We started covering television during the “Peak TV” years of the 2000s, and this section is devoted to some of our favorite television shows. We’ve been fortunate over the years to have access to cast members, directors, show runners and writers of some of our favorite shows. We even visited the set of “Breaking Bad” . . . twice! We’ve set up fan pages for some of the shows we followed closely, and also included links to many of the other show blogs we created as we followed along episode by episode.

Breaking Bad
What a ride! Fans were on the edge of their seats as they awaited to see the fate of Walt, Jesse, Skyler and Hank. We also had a set visit and numerous interviews as part of our coverage over the years! See our Breaking Bad fan page for more!

The Wire
“The Wire” is a tremendous achivement. It’s not only one of the best shows in television history, it’s a work of social commentary that will live on for generations.

The Sopranos
Controversial finale aside (the most reviled in TV history?), “The Sopranos” still stands as one of the most compelling shows to ever hit the airwaves.

Game of Thrones
HBO’s fantasy drama was a stunning achievement, even if the ending was a disappointment. We were there from the beginning, interviewing George R.R. Martin and the shows producers during the first season.

Entourage
We loved hanging out with Vince and the gang. Follow the adventures of Vince, Eric, Drama, Turtle and Ari as they drink up the Hollywood lifestyle in LA.

Mad Men
This show had style. The series magically recreated the world of the late 1950s in Manhattan, following the life of ad exective Don Draper.

True Blood
You’ll find all the blood and sex you can handle in HBO’s popular supernatural drama. Unfortunately, this show really slipped in later seasons, though at least they continued to cast beautiful actresses.

Lost
Great show with a disappointing ending. George R.R. Martin’s fantasy series got the small screen treatment courtesy of HBO, and if you never watched, you’ve missed out on some amazing TV.

Sons of Anarchy
Great show with an even more disappointing ending . . . maybe the worst ever!

24
This heart-pounding show was fun to cover on an episodic basis. “24” lost some of its luster after a great first few seasons before rebounding nicely for a fitting final run. Then it returned for a solid “Live Another Day” run for 12 episodes.

Deadwood
On the long list of shows that were canceled too early, “Deadwood” has few peers. Sigh.

The Americans
Set in the early 1980s, this brilliant drama covers two KGB spies posing as an American couple.

Curb Your Enthusiasm
There’s no telling what Larry David will do next, but he never made us laugh harder than in the show’s seventh season featuring the highly-publicized “Seinfeld” reunion.

Rome
Another in the long line of great HBO original series, “Rome” deserved more than a brief (albeit fascinating) two-season run.

The Shield
Dirty cops? “The Shield” had ’em in spades for seven gripping seasons. It also has one of the most compelling endings in TV history.

The Walking Dead
The network that brought us “Mad Men” and “Breaking Bad” produced abother hit with a comic book adaptation of the emotionally gripping and delightfully gory “The Walking Dead.” It’s impressive how long this show stayed relevant.

Heroes
The show had a great first season, and then it hit the wall . . . hard! Check out our blog and more from the cast.

Boardwalk Empire
Put Martin Scorsese together with Terence Winter (“The Sopranos”) and Steve Buscemi, and you should have another HBO hit on your hands. Of course, until the writers eliminate a critical character for no reason in Season 2. This one lost our interest after a lame third season.
