Here are the current television power rankings for spring programming as of today:
#10 Parks and Rec - This season isn't as inspired as the past couple, but it still provides great laughs every episode. I can't get enough Ron Swanson!
#9 Top Chef Seattle - The season just ended a couple of weeks ago and this Bravo show again reminded me of how bat-shit crazy Wolfgang Puck is.
#8) The Walking Dead - This third season had a great fall campaign with Rick and company more focused on killing zombies instead of talking about the nature of God. However the last few episodes seemed to have regressed back into the talking trap. Get on with the coming war! By the way, in case you were still wondering - Daryl Mother F******* Dixon is still the best character on TV right now.
#7) Survivor "Fans Vs. Favorites" - Yes, I know some of you are TV snobs who hate the offerings of reality programming. Get over yourself and get to CBS on Wednesday nights. There are some serious wackos being starved to death for your entertainment!
#6 New Girl - This show is fun, heartfelt, and features great writing. Exactly what How I Met Your Mother used to be like.
#5 Stranded - What could be better than watching a bunch of 20-somethings left stranded in a allegedly haunted location for five days and slowly watch them all lose their minds? Not much.
#4 Spartacus God Of War - Lets go through the checklist here:
- Graphic and Over-The-Top Violence and Blood - Check!
- Ridiculous dialog that makes you have to rewind the DVR to listen to it again - Check!
- Needless nudity -Double Check!
#3 All Star Celebrity Apprentice - Oops. Nevermind. This show is my guilty pleasure.
and how about this:
#2 The Following - I love this show - but I'm starting to have some concerns about it's goal to try and shock the audience with a twist each week. Everybody can't be involved in the conspiracy, can they? CAN THEY??? Are you one of them?????
#1 House Of Cards - A Netflix original show starring Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright. It is like Sopranos meets West Wing. The performances, writing, and story are brilliant! Start streaming this 13 episode season tonight! I'm not sure how The Emmy's won't all be focused on this show next fall.
This whole list is subject to change once Mad Men and Game Of Thrones opens up shop over the next five weeks.
