Liked it! What are you looking forward to most in 2012? I am looking forward to The Dark Knight Rises and Avengers movies! Check out my blog(That is slightly different than yours) at http://blog.allamericanclothing.com/
I don’t know why more people don’t talk about Wilfred, it’s so good. I’m also really excited for the next season of Game of Thrones. I haven’t heard of Black Mirror, I’ll have to check it out.
I am a Canadian living in China and I seem to miss LOTS of great shows and movies that come out. But what stuns me to no end?? Is I actually consider some of these shows to be my favourite TV shows!!! “Community” ranks high up there, as does “How I Met Your Mother” (yes, Barney is perfect!!!) and of course, “Game of Thrones” is superb.
I’ll have to download lots more to see about these other ones!!!
Thank-you so much for the list and congrats on making Freshly Pressed!!!
Hey… I am also a Canadian living in China. How do you get some of these shows? We have satellite, but only get How I Met Your Mother from the list above.
I can totally understand your reluctance towards modern sitcoms, or most anything on public television channels these days, though some writing has gotten better. Shows like HIMYM, Big Bang Theory, and 30 Rock keep me pretty entertained on the Sitcom front.
If you have Hulu or however you watch, you could also check out a new series staring the beautiful(ly) talented Zooey Deschanel called New Girl. It surprised me as being a little goofier than those aforementioned shows and yet still quite funny and endearing.
Ya i’ve seen the first few new girls and quite liked it, but her character started to get a bit annoying for me. But i see from your blog that you’re in some sort of love triangle with the deschanel sisters, so i can certainly respect that!
i find it interesting the number of people that like ‘community’. my wife and i think it’s pretty horrible and unwatchable. i agree with ‘home land’ and i would add ‘person of interest’.
I haven’t watched most of these, although Breaking Bad and Community are my two favorite shows of the last year, so I was happy to see they made your list. I’ve heard so much good buzz about Homeland, it’s about time I start watching it.
I watch community, how I met your mother and Robot Chicken religiously. Have you ever seen Parks and Rec? What are your thoughts on American Dad, 30 Rock and especially Modern Family? I love those shows!
Spend some time in Brooklyn and I guarantee you that “Bored to Death” and “How to Make it in America” would leap into your top 5. And no Dexter? Are you kidding?
Solid choices for numbers 1 and 2, though. American Horror Story was decent as well.
How about MadMen, The Killing, Modern Family, Justified, The Good Wife, Boardwalk Empire, and Parenthood?
Really though, you sould re-think 3-5, 8, 10, and 11. At least there’s no reality tv on your list.
This could be my next blog.
Bored to Death I really liked, it’s just outside my top list, How to Make it in America I haven’t seen. I’m a massive Dexter fan, but I thought this season was a let-down, here’s why.
Mad Men I got bored of, but must go back and finish sometime, The Killing is on my to-watch list, I do like Modern Family, Justified I keep hearing good things about, The Good Wife I’m not so sure about, Boardwalk Empire, still haven’t got round to watching the second season and Parenthood I must check out aswell. Good suggestions there!
So that’s my long-winded explanation. Won’t be rethinking any of the list, I’m afraid. Just like reality TV, the judge’s decision is final.
Breaking Bad is one of the unknown gems of US TV, honestly where has it been all our lives! Must watch Homeland as well, good blog, thanks for bringing this programs to our attention!
I love “American Horror Story” and “How I Met Your Mother”! Hmm… I’m intrigued about “Black Mirror” and because of your post, I am going to check it out!
The way Community has been treated by NBC is horrible, especially considering the fact that Whitney is still on the air. How I Met Your Mother was always a favourite of mine, but I feel the standard has slipped a bit with a few too many ‘filler’ episodes. Great list though, it’s given me another reason to finally start watching Homeland!
HOMELAND HOMELAND HOMELAND! i dont watch a ton of TV but this is one of the best shows on TV. Great actors, Great subject idea, they draw you into the story like nothing else. hopefully Mandy will stay onh this who for a long time. My Second place nominations go to Fringe, Person of Interest (really great with Jim Caviezel), Revenge, PanAM and of course another great on on Showtime– Dexter.
Great list!! Unfortunately for me , I only watch 3 series from your list.
You give me ideas on my next to watch list!!
I hope you don’t mind I am stealing your ideas of Top 11 of ’11 for my list http://zupher.wordpress.com/2012/02/02/zupher-top-11-tv-of-11/
Hmm, I question How I Met Your Mother being up there. It’s been on a slow and now fast downhill slope for me. I very rarely laugh. Just don’t find it nearly funny anymore.
Great choices with Community and top pick being Homeland – can’t question that!
I very much agree with How I Met Your Mother, how about Big Bang Theory? :>
In fairness, Big Bang Theory’s only achievement is in being so inoffensive that everybody can watch it without needing to laugh!
Big Bang Theory is awesome! I totally agree Big Bang Theory should be up there
You’re about the 63rd person to tell me (well, indirectly you’re telling me…) to watch Homeland. I think this post being Freshly Pressed is a sign!
Homeland was so amazing. I’m glad someone else agrees.
There’s a couple of shows there I’ve never heard of there but I’ll give them a go. Nice collage… is that a mandog licking Bilbo Baggins face!
Woofs
Great List!!
My favorite on the list is How I met Your Mother
Cheers and congrats on being freshly pressed

Community should have been #1, but I’ll settle for Homeland.
Absolutely love Game of Thrones. I have all of the American Horror Stories on my DVR so they are a watch for this weekend. Great list!
Yeah, GoT is good in its genre.

Any list that has Breaking Bad on it is perfectly cool with me. Also, thumbs up for including Game of Thrones.

Interesting Title and Graphics. Love the blog!
Good choices!
Awesome picks.
Robot chicken? What is that? Afraid to google it. – the transatlantic diablog
No Parks and Recreation? Ron Swansom does not agree!
Though I definitely love me some Breaking Bad and Community, and if you love Game of Thrones you must read the series – fab stuff that is.
Nice choices buddy!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t know why more people don’t talk about Wilfred, it’s so good. I’m also really excited for the next season of Game of Thrones. I haven’t heard of Black Mirror, I’ll have to check it out.
Breaking bad is the best !
Community is my favorite on the list. I’ll have to look into the other ones.
Congrats on being Freshly Pressed!
Wow!!!! I actually know some of these!!!

We are in Shanghai.
I’m into light humor at the moment so I like Modern Family and Mike and Molly. Great blog!
Where is Dr. House
Exactly!!

Love that Wilfred made the list, but I agree with another, where is Big Bang Theory?
http://goodgeekranting.wordpress.com
Answer is, i don’t watch it. But I promise to rectify that.

WTF Wilfred- that last episode was just….I mean, I’m still hitting my head against the desk.
I am not going to believe you now……; i am gonna check it, i u are not putting my time on wrong line
That pic of a pig for the Black Mirror is so appropriate.
My favorite episode of that series.
thanx for sharing. im gonna check on those movies later.. =P

Why isn’t everyone watching “Archer”? This is the funniest thing I have ever seen!
I am glad to see things like this, I have been out of the country for over a year, and these things help me keep in touch
Short but direct.
Clever but not too clever.
Awesome post, my friend!
i find it interesting the number of people that like ‘community’. my wife and i think it’s pretty horrible and unwatchable. i agree with ‘home land’ and i would add ‘person of interest’.
Game of Thrones. All the way!

i Like your blog its amazing Lucky xoxox
Breaking Bad is great, haven’t really watched the others though.
Most of those shows I’ve never heard and How I’ve Met Your Mother is one show I just can’t get into. But hey, to each his own, right?

AHS and HIMYM two of the best shows to ever hit the airwaves…
Loving everything on your list! The only one I haven’t seen is Black Mirror – which I will now rectify!
Most of these would be in my top 11 too this year.
Check out my first and newest blog/website, let me know what you think.

I’m so glad to see Wilfred on here. Nice post!
I do not even know any one of these shows.
Yet, I am happy. I’ll rather stick to books.
this is nice list of programs.

My no1 is definitely Game of Thrones.
Community! (Is the best.)
Homeland it is!
Game of Thrones and Archer!
Breaking Bad is one of the unknown gems of US TV, honestly where has it been all our lives! Must watch Homeland as well, good blog, thanks for bringing this programs to our attention!
I love “American Horror Story” and “How I Met Your Mother”! Hmm… I’m intrigued about “Black Mirror” and because of your post, I am going to check it out!
I would have to completely agree. I was actually searching for a comment that most agreed with my thoughts but you hit it right on the nose!
i’m with you on 2, 4, 5, 6, and 10. another vote for big bang theory. and modern family. that’s about all i can keep up with!
modern family?
Haven’t seen Homeland yet, but like the other pics!
No Dexter? seriously?
http://wp.me/p280b7-2P
I love Dexter, but I submit to you my reasons why it was not good this year: http://davewatchingstuff.com/2012/01/22/dexter-season-6-what-went-wrong/
Reblogged this on 42 Webs.

The only show I watch on that list is How I Met Your Mother. “Suit up Ted”
I haven’t watched any of these shows except for Breaking Bad, which was amazing!
Wait a minute…Southland, Castle, Person of Interest, Hawaii 5-O.
I miss Boardwalk Empire in your list and I haven’t seen almost half of this list. But your number 1 is very good.
Nice list here. For me, Breaking Bad is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen.
The Community “chaos theory” episode was one of the best things on TV in years.
[Some joke about this being the darkest timeline since Community is on hiatus.]
Totally agree, that was a great episode.
The way Community has been treated by NBC is horrible, especially considering the fact that Whitney is still on the air. How I Met Your Mother was always a favourite of mine, but I feel the standard has slipped a bit with a few too many ‘filler’ episodes. Great list though, it’s given me another reason to finally start watching Homeland!
All very good picks. Now I just need to get caught up on some of them.
Any mention of ‘Community’ is always loved and appreciated by me
Can’t wait for Season 2 of Game of Thrones!!
HOMELAND HOMELAND HOMELAND! i dont watch a ton of TV but this is one of the best shows on TV. Great actors, Great subject idea, they draw you into the story like nothing else. hopefully Mandy will stay onh this who for a long time.

Where’s Sherlock?
Season 2 is on my to-watch list!
[...] response to Dave’s Top 11 TV of ’11 I have come out with my own list of Top 11 US TV series I have watch the year [...]
Great list!! Unfortunately for me , I only watch 3 series from your list.
You give me ideas on my next to watch list!!
I hope you don’t mind I am stealing your ideas of Top 11 of ’11 for my list
http://zupher.wordpress.com/2012/02/02/zupher-top-11-tv-of-11/
Of course! Nice list, I’m a Fringe fan also!
Hmm, I question How I Met Your Mother being up there. It’s been on a slow and now fast downhill slope for me. I very rarely laugh. Just don’t find it nearly funny anymore.
Great choices with Community and top pick being Homeland – can’t question that!
American Horror Story is so twisted. And it’s a good thing.
