    Angel Season 1 takes a while to find itself, but I thought it was pretty solid from there on, with some nice peaks and never really any serious valleys from season 2 on, though I'm sure others would disagree.

    In any case, I would definitely recommend seeing for yourself.

    We've been on an extended hiatus from watching it, but I was guiding Roaming Gnome through these shows over the past couple of years. We're stopped midway through Buffy S4 and Angel S1. Hopefully we can get that going again before too long.

    I use this blog as a good reference guide for when the shows start crossing over. I recommend checking it out and using their viewing order:

    Thanks for the list, that was very helpful.

      Also not a real big fan of Carrie having to be a mental case, weakens the character for me.

      Still a good show but like you said it's already lost steam with me.

        You know, as those shows get older and older, I'm more fearful that one day that will be a dead link. Since PD is as good as any place at holding on to content over the long haul, here's the list from that link:

        Ever wonder how to watch Buffy and Angel in order? How to make sure you get all the proper crossovers in their place? I have tons Whedonverse related documents going back years and this is one that I email very frequently to new viewers. So why I haven't posted it on this blog by now is beyond me. If you know a new viewer that would like to see the episodes properly, send them here....but for the love of Sunnydale tell them to not look around until they're done watching!

          I still like the series a lot, and can't disagree with any of what you said. Should focus more on Saul, David, shady CIA guy (says a lot I can't even remember his name, huh?) Saul, to me is a reason to watch. Mandy Patinkin's performance is really, really good. Better than anyone who keeps winning for it, actually.

            Incredible episode of Breaking Bad. How do you even award some of these Emmy/Golden Globe categories this year with Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Game of Thrones & Boardwalk Empire all vying for the same honors?

                I thought that was a perfectly handled opener to the final season of Breaking Bad.

                OTOH Dexter just keeps meandering all over the map in its final season. My expectations for a satisfying series finale for Dexter grow lower with each episode.

                    NewsRoom was great last night! A little all over the Map, but great executed endings.

                    Loved the Sloan story, she got to do what every woman in that situation would love to but never do, paralyzed by fear and embarrassment. I almost thought for a moment they were gonna write her off the show!

                    I thought Will's moment at the end was amazingly poignant. A moment of severe regret and sadness, followed by apathetic acceptance. Its a strong comment on the this idea that we have to act a certain way when it comes to family, and that everything should always work itself out when it comes to your family. He obviously felt obligated to reach out to his father, but really wanted nothing to do with the man and for good reason. There is always someone like McKenzie who thinks its so easy to patch things up. But those people really have no idea about the kind of pain and rage and regret and apathy that an estranged father can generate in a person. They think the hurt is in the immediate moment and have no idea about what that does do you overtime. How it dulls you, and how teflon you become when dealing with people. Its also the reason Will can't forgive McKenzie for cheating on him even so many years later.
                    You can't get champagne from a garden hose.

                        Very simple. Give all the awards to Breaking Bad

                          It would be a shame if this series goes its entire run without winning an award as the year's best drama. Especially since Homeland has won both the Emmy and Golden Globe. I actually like Homeland but it is tough for me to see how anyone could think it was a better show than Breaking Bad.

                          As someone who has for years planned on watching it but has never actually sat down to go through it, with all of the things I've heard about it how was The Wire not ever even nominated?

                              It would be a shame if this series goes its entire run without winning an award as the year's best drama. Especially since Homeland has won both the Emmy and Golden Globe. I actually like Homeland but it is tough for me to see how anyone could think it was a better show than Breaking Bad.

                              As someone who has for years planned on watching it but has never actually sat down to go through it, with all of the things I've heard about it how was The Wire not ever even nominated?
                              I'm not sure as I didn't catch the Wire until it was off the air, but I think it was just kind of forgotten and ignored for a myriad of reasons. Similar to Firefly and Arrested Development.

                              You really should watch the Wire, though. It is by far the greatest TV show I've ever seen. So many compelling story lines and characters. Just make sure you force yourself through the first 3 episodes. It really is hard to get into at first.

                                I thought the 5th season was really boring, it was to unrealistic. But WIRE was really surreal for the first 3 seasons, the characters and story were all amazing.
