Can you think of a TV show that's blown you away from very beginning to very end?

I will agree with those that say "Breaking Bad" was as close to flawless as it gets...even though it isn't my favorite show (That would be, in order, The Sopranos, Mad Men, The Wire,  and Boardwalk Empire, Larry Sanders...Breaking Bad comes in a #6 for me).  BB was so tightly written, there was very little waste, and it was really well thought out.  I know the other shows meandered a bit at times, but I kinda like that.

 

Another show that deserves mention, is "Rectify".  I honestly only know 2 other people who have watched it..but it was excellent.  

Loved Rectify. Really well made all around. Didn’t want it to end and I doubted I would like it when I started.

At the risk of sounding really corny, it was a beautiful show.  It went places I never expected.

If not for that horrific season when they went to Ireland, I would say Sons of Anarchy.  That season was just tuuuuurible! 

agreed .... almost gave up on it during that time, but I'm glad I didn't!  Finished in epically great fashion

Right now binging on Showtime's "Ray Donovan" ... definitely worthy entry

"The Shield"

I was getting triggered. Took long enough for someone to get to the Shield.

 

Best series finale of all the greats too... I'm a sucker for good cop/detective shows.

 

I'll throw "Bosh" out there too. Just knows exactly what kind of show it wants to be and executes the genre perfectly.

Beavis and Butthead   -- the boys never jumped the shark.

King of the Hill. Arlen, TX hits so close to home for me too lol. Makes it all the more true of the Hank Hills of the world.

 

"So are you Chinese or Japanese?"

Did your father lose his shins in the war and have his feet surgically attached to his knees too?

nah my neighbor. I'm more of a Bobby.

I've been told I look like Bobby Hill. I also have tried my hand at stand up comedy, and even contracted gout at an age that most people thought was medically impossible. I keep hearing rumors of the show coming back, with the characters aged an appropriate amount of time, which would put Bobby around college age.

He's rates as the best cartoon character in television history. Really fleshed out for a cartoon character, developed as a person more than anyone. Everybody loves Bobby. But "that boy ain't right" that's for sure.

 

Certainly represented the generation of texas kids slowly becoming less friday night lights Hank Hill stereotypes and more like the rest of middle America as half the country started moving into Texas in Bobby's generation and it became less isolated from the culture of sitting around drinking beer all day talking about dumb high school football and being severely confused as to whether the next door Laotian was Chinese or Japanese. Bobby gets it.

 

Lmao the gout episode..

I would say there are 4 shows that are near perfect in execution consistently from beginning to end:

 

Breaking Bad

 

Futurama

 

Mr Show with Bob and David

 

Oz

 

Did the re-launch on Comedy Central hold up?  I got distracted from it when the new ones were airing and I never actually went back to watch them all.
