[Walker]

I should probably try watching Toast of London, seems like something I'd enjoy.

I should probably try watching Toast of London, seems like something I'd enjoy.

I probably preferred the first series, thinking about it, but the second was entertaining too.

[GoGo Yubari]

And once again, Colbert beats The Daily Show!

This was the first time Colbert finished higher actually.

30. The Colbert Report (33 points, appeared on three ballots) (Last Year: #38)

29. Key and Peele (33 points, appeared on four ballots) (Last Year: NR)

28. New Girl (34 points, appeared on four ballots) (Last Year: #39)

27. The Leftovers (39 points, appeared on four ballots) (Last Year: NR)

26. Once Upon a Time (42 points, appeared on four ballots) (Last Year: #43)

Next Time, on EWB's Top 50 Shows of 2014: Here is an experiment for you; think about the things you want in life, then picture yourself in a dress.

Key and Peele is genuinely brilliant and I really need to get on the new season.

[Nick Adams]

I meant the whole, "The Colbert Report has broken The Daily Show's winning streak," thing has finally crossed over to EWB. It only took us a little while to catch up to the Emmy Awards.

[TKz]

A lot of this list so far speaks to just how little interesting there was on last year.

[C-MIL]

There aren't 28 shows better than Key & Peele.

[zero]

There aren't 14 shows worse than The Newsroom.

[GoGo Yubari]

in this five, a couple shows that might have made the top 20 if Livid had voted!

25. Elementary (49 points, appeared on six ballots) (Last Year: #18)

24. House of Cards (49 points, appeared on seven ballots) (Last Year: #41)

23. Suits (54 points, appeared on seven ballots) (Last Year: NR)

22. Boardwalk Empire (58 points, appeared on five ballots) (Last Year: #14)

21. Gotham (59 points, appeared on nine ballots) (Last Year: NR)

Next Time, on EWB's Top 50 TV Shows of 2014: I thought the meaning of people was somewhere in here. Then I looked inside Nicolas Cage and I found a secret; people are random and pointless.

[Benjamin]

I'm sad that Boardwalk did nothing but continuously drop each year, but I'm happy that it's still higher than I thought it would be since only like 5 people watch it.

Then I'm sad again because fucking Gotham beat it

EDIT: Also I'm quite surprised the show GoGo previews for the next update made it that high, I thought a lot of people had soured on it.

[GoGo Yubari]

Well, last year was Boardwalk's peak. Previously I'm pretty sure this was about where it always placed. But god, it finishing a spot lower than Gotham.

Gotham is just not a good show. It's really not. It's really really not. Robin Lord Taylor and Donal Logue are fun but beyond that...

[RoyWill Rumble]

Big Bang Theory? BIG BANG THEORY? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh fuck you.

Also, completely forgot Louie even aired this year. Shows how much I paid attention to TV.

[apsham]

I have zero interest in absolutely any of those shows (except maaaaaaaaaybe Boardwalk Empire). I just don't see the appeal - I guess I've been spoiled with stuff at the right times that these shows can't even touch. Especially Gothan.. bleck.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

The only one of those I've ever properly watched was Suits, which was great. Admittedly haven't seen the newest season though.

[Draevyn]

Now we're getting into my shows. House Of Cards is awesome. So is Suits. Gotham was only really on my list by default. I need to see the newest Elementary season because Jonny Lee Miller is awesome!

[Benji]

Gotham even placing is criminal. I mean, it's getting better and shows promise, but for a show that's about 10 episodes in it has at least a 50% utter shite ratio.

Shame that for the first time I got around to watching Boardwalk before year end and it wound up the first season that didn't make it into my top 15, let alone top 5 like it had previously been.

[MalaCloudy Black]

There is no freaking way Gotham is better than Elementary.

[DFF]

I like Gotham, and am happy it charted, but Elementary should be higher on the list.

[Jimmy]

House of Cards is really fun to binge. The performances are fantastic, and it's best, it's really absorbing and addictive watching. When you sit down and think about it retrospectively, it has a lot of flaws, but it can still be really fun to watch, even at its most ridiculous.

Do you mean the final season? Did you not feel it was good? I'd say it was Boardwalk's second best season after the Gyp season.
