Thoughts on the first five; Korra had a great final two seasons after an uneven first two and I'm glad me and Ruki were enough to get it into the top fifty for the first and last time. Rick and Morty is now the show that it's the most ridiculous that I've never seen a single episode of. Survivor had what I thought was a pretty good year, even though San Juan Del Sur dragged for a long time until reaching a fairly fun stretch post-merge. Broad City is rad as fuck and I regret not watching more of it, I'm like halfway through the first season. Never seen Shameless.

Moving on to a four-show mini update before larger, tie-obligated update.

Saying Review was robbed would be an insult to robbery.

I didn't watch any of this year's House Of Lies, but I liked the first two seasons. All the crazy sex scenarios are a bit much to take though.

Didn't watch any of this year's Veep either, but I caught up on a lot of what came before. It's fun.

Daily Show took a massive step up in quality this year IMO.

Season 3 of Veep was on the whole I think a little less good than season 2, but "Alicia" is neck-and-neck with the episode where they go to Finland for the best episode they've ever done. "Clovis" is pretty excellent too.

Disappointed that Review didn't make it. It wasn't that high on my list though so, oh well.

Rick & Morty is great. I've decided animated comedy shows are my catch-all, I seem to love them all these days. I'm expected Archer and BoJack Horseman to show up later.

Veep I enjoy usually, couldn't really get into it this year though.

I haven't seen Daily Show in ages.

The rest I haven't seen at all.

Next Time, on EWB's Top 50 TV Shows of 2014: The idea behind organized crime is that it's supposed to be organized. When people start using chainsaws, that's a sign. And it is not a good sign.

I really liked Louie last year and then the giant multi-episode arc happened and I just got drowned in other shows and still need to catch up.

Comedy Bang Bang is fun, though I much prefer the podcast. Neat to see it make the list.

I tried jumping in on it, but I don't think it's the kind of show you can just jump in on. It seemed like it was pretty good from what little of it I could follow though.

Comedy Bang Bang is fun, though I much prefer the podcast.

Sums up my take as well.

Louie is in that Veep/House Of Lies category where I'm a few seasons behind, but I like it.
