Weeds Add to Watchlist "I'd be a pothead if Mary Louise Parker lived in my neighborhood. She's sexy, unpredictable and careless. Great combo."
30 Rock Add to Watchlist "The sexual tension between Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey is written so well. There is no doubt they must at some point do it -- just a matter of when."
Dexter Add to Watchlist "Huge Dexter fan. The theme music is haunting and reminds me I'm in good hands, because Dexter is about to kill someone. Julia Stiles brought the entire cast up a big notch. Hope she stays around for a while."
Mad Men Add to Watchlist "The characters are written so well that I find myself rooting for and against all of them at different times. My only fan comment to creator Matthew Weiner -- more scenes centered on advertising campaigns, please."
Breaking Bad Add to Watchlist "I'd like to think I'd do something similar if I found myself in his situation. Plus, I recently met Aaron Paul and he was a very nice guy so now I root for the show even more."
