Every so often, an excellent television show is
made and has a nice long run. I’ve been lucky enough in my 29 years to
have had the chance to experience many of them. I like TV shows that
build on a main story line as the season progresses,
a show that doesn’t have a mold it follows week in and week out. Shows
that begin with a problem, gather details in the middle and solve at
the end, are not my cup of tea. I don’t mind if the show is like that
as long as it is also building on the main plot
and story line each week.
I have three favorite shows that I have seen
EVERY episode at least 5-10 times. I watch them on my IPOD
religiously. I’m going to go through them and explain why they appeal
to me in no particular order.
The first up is probably the easiest for
everyone to understand, The Office. The humor involved in the office
isn’t that cheap trick humor like other shows. The Office build upon
its humor with multiple inside jokes from previous episodes
and the side bars with the characters are hilarious!
Every time I watch it, it makes me feel like a
part of the Dunder Mifflin team. The gags and relationships they have
with one another are things I have tried to implement into my life at
the shipyard. This is a MUST watch show for anyone
that doesn’t resemble a dry piece of toast personality wise.
Next up, Entourage. Entourage is a hit HBO show
that follows an actor’s climb to the top of the acting mountain. His
rise, fall and rise again story is said to be based loosely off of the
life and times of Mark Walberg. 4 dudes that
grew up together live out the famous life style and everything that
comes with it. When it goes bad, everyone struggles and when it goes
good, it goes real good!
This show portrays the life that most people
would kill to have and stair steps the adventures of the entire gang
from poverty in New York to stardom and individuality among the elite
ranks in Hollywood. Everything about this show is addictive
and compelling.
Finally, a show that EVERYONE on the face of
this sad little world has seen at least once, The Shield. I’m going to
go ahead and label this the best action/suspense based television show
in the recent decades. I’m not even going to describe
it because everyone has seen it and if you haven’t, go watch it and
then re-read my horrible blog.
The last season of the shield was probably the
strongest season on an emotional level I’ve ever watched. The team and
all the drama that accompanies a team. The close calls and the last
season. Every aspect of this show is perfect.
Deep character development and even deeper character involvement.
Excellent series.
That’s all I got. Thoughts, comments, questions?
Sleep well, Stay strong and most of all NEVER CONFORM!
