Same here. I like what I’ve seen and should watch more episodes. I thought about ranking it, but, in the end, just decided that I had not seen enough.

That's awesome. Only Shatner could be The Big Giant Head.

We get it. You have zero originality.

We get it. You ranked inferior shows so you could look “original”.

That, plus it helps I submitted 50 lists to stuff the ballot box

I felt terrible about how hard I laughed at that whole scene. But I definitely didn't laugh harder at any other scene so far.

I've seen a few twilight zone episodes. They were ok. I feel like I haven't watched enough to justify ranking it though.
I had Mad Men on my list so I started watchinh it a few days ago. Hamm is good but I'm waiting for , mind you I'm only a few episodes in, the story to move beyond "look how toxic these guys from the 60's are!"

Don’t worry there’s a great rendition of Zou bisou bisou in later seasons as well as a great pitch to Hershey’s Chocolate

That's great - never knew that scene existed. Right up there with the St. Elsewhere Coolidge/Salami crossover scene mentioned way back in the thread.

I'm pretty sure that all seven of my choices from 64 to 70, none of which have yet been revealed are certain to be top five.
Did I do this right?

You put a show on your list that you didn't start watching until a few days ago?
Am I missing something there?

I think season 1 is the weakest. It definitely builds and builds as it goes. Season 1 I just kind of an introduction to the world.

yes, the fact that I didn't rank it. I have a list of stuff to watch. Doesn't everyone?

I misunderstood.
I don’t have a list of shows I want to watch - well maybe a mental one.

I don't think ANYONE has a list of shoes to watch.

Footballguy
although, I guess there are people that collect sneakers so maybe they have a list of when the next shoe comes out so they can go buy a pair

I was hoping it was The $10,000 Pyramid.
Buy a pair or grow a pair?

Mad Men was as funny as any comedy but also brought the drama.
My favorite part of the show is how the worked all of the historical events of the 60s into the context of the show.
It was also wild to see how different working life was back then. Seemed more fun back then.

It was for sure much more fun. I mean two martini lunches.....enough said

Yeah that's the thing with the good old days. They weren't good for a lot of people.

It was like a great novel. Deep complex characters, intricately plotted, a tremendous number of small scenes that added up to something substantial.
Hamm inhabited Don to the depths of his soul.
Rejecting his brother and the Hershey scene are all-time acting performances. And there are many more.

Another great Roger line was when Lane Price and Pete Campbell get into a fistfight.
Roger: I know cooler heads should prevail, but am I the only one who wants to see this?

Roger was such a great character

You know, Mona had a dream once where I hit the dog with a car. She was mad at me all day, and I never hit the dog. We don’t even have a dog.

Sterling's Gold
Encyclopedia Brown

Slattery owned Roger in a much similar way that Hamm owned Don. The one-liners are his trademark, but he expertly played Roger as the son who never lived up to his father's name (and knew it), was a bad husband and an aloof father. He also had seen horrible combat in the Pacific in WWII, which left deep emotional scars.
In the episode where they give the backstory of how Don came to Sterling Cooper, when Don arrives at the elevators for his first day and falsely tells Roger that he had hired him during their lunch, it's clear that Roger has no recollection whatsoever. Slattery slumps and frowns because he knows that this is a decision he made while blackout drunk, something that happens quite frequently.
Slattery nails that realization in just a couple of seconds.

I ranked it, but not as high as others. For as realistic as a lot of it was, it got a lot of the characters wrong in favor of being overly sappy. It's a tribute piece and it works well as one, but it could've been a lot more interesting as well.

The BoB quote that always gets to me:
“The only hope you have is to accept the fact that you’re already dead. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you’ll be able to function as a soldier is supposed to function: without mercy, without compassion, without remorse. All war depends upon it.”
