TIME Magazine's Top 100 Television Shows



I am still working on my post about resource mobilization and it functions. It will be very long, so please bear with me. In the mean time, I have come across a nice little list that TIME has compiled about their 100 best television shows of all time. Several of my favorites are on the list including Battlestar Galactia (pictured left courtesy of www.scifi.com/battlestar), The Shield, The Office, Lost and the immortal Arrested Development. The list has a lot of great shows on it, and it was nice seeing shows like Battlestar and Arrested Development make the list.

I am new to Battlestar, but it is a truly spectacular show. From the production value to the scripts, the producers have developed griping television. It is more then just another sci-fi show because it melds modern societal problems that the problems of war can bring to light. I highly recommend adding to your list of must see television. If you are interested in catching up with the series, you can rent all of the discs from www.blockbuster.com.



Now on to the grandaddy of them all, Arrested Development (pictured above through the magic of the internets). Everyone knows that this is my all time favorite television show, it was and is flat out brilliant. From beginning to end, the show had me in fits of laughter. Whether it was GOB, pronounced like Job from the Bible, and his antics as an illusionist or Carl Weathers great guest spots as an acting coach to the bumbling Tobias, the show was constantly pushing the envelope. This is also the launching pad for young Michael Cera. I hope we all have seen Superbad, if not you can see the beginnings of a gifted comedian who deserves a long and successful career. If you ever want a dose of afternoon delight, just pop in a disc and sit back. Although Arrested was on for only three seasons the ride was great and unforgettable. You can also rent the discs from blockbuster by accessing the previous link to Blockbuster Online.
