EWB's Top 50 TV Shows of 2014: The Results

[Benji]

I liked it, but it felt a little anticlimactic after the previous seasons. Still solid and nothing wrong with it, just didn't live up to the massive expectations the show had created for me.

[Benjamin]

Ah, I totally understand that. I think it suffered from HBO making it the final season and then only giving them 8 episodes, so Winter had to rush stuff and condense it quite it a bit.

[Benji]

Yeah, that was pretty much the feeling I got from it, not really enough time for the season to breathe (breath? breathe?).

[SlicedBread]

I haven't gotten around to watching too much of Gotham yet but I'm simply assuming it placed so well because it's new so more people have watched it. Most likely a placeholder to fill out most people's lists. I'm not too crazy about the show either.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

I watched the first episode and it didn't grab enough of my attention to make me want to watch the rest.

[Benjamin]

Yeah, that was pretty much the feeling I got from it, not really enough time for the season to breathe (breath? breathe?).

Pretty sure it's 'breathe'

Gotham is just... I don't know, it's not utterly horrible, there's been slight, very slight ups, but there's also been humongous downs. I'd be happy if it improved drastically, but I wouldn't be fussed if it just went away.

[Benji]

I was pretty sure it was breathe, but I wrote it down and it didn't look right.

[Colly]

Broth.

Next Time, on EWB's Top 50 TV Shows of 2014: There is no quiet anymore. There is only Doc McStuffins.

There is no freaking way Gotham is better than Elementary.

I don't like either show, and I know this to be true.

Edit: Fucccccccccccccccccccccccccckkkkkk yessssssssssssssss Bojack.

Also had no clue Community was still on the air. I kinda stopped bothering after the third season. Y'all watch some poopy TV.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Elementary's good, though. People write it off as "hur dur procedural starring Holmes", but it's got some fantastic performances and 9 times out of 10 the case of the week takes a backseat to character development.

Also, I don't get BoJack. Maybe it's an "I'm getting old" thing, but the few episodes I tried to watch I didn't find particularly funny or witty or whatever at all.

[Benjamin]

I'm still so surprised that Community made it this high this year or the last.

Also sad that Parks seems to have slipped as well.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Never seen Community or Bojack, but I really like the other three from this list.

[Jimmy]

Sherlock is incredible, probably the best drama Britain's made since Edge of Darkness, and I really think some of you should give it a try. I honestly think it deserves a top three placement.

Bojack was a lot of fun, and as it developed, it showcased way more depth than I expected it too, an found I was in many ways more attached to some of these characters than I realised. The comedy, at times, is great. Maybe not the perfect show to marathon as a few things get repetitive, but very encouraged for a second season.

Archer's still great, too!

Haven't watched most recent Community or Doctor Who, don't feel overly compelled to either.

[Benjamin]

Never seen Community or Bojack, but I really like the other three from this list.

Holy shit you've never seen Community?! You've been on this board for like, 2 years already!

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Coming up on four years now, actually

And I've never seen it on DVD anywhere, I've never seen it advertised on TV, and it isn't on Netflix, so I can't watch it on there. I've heard lots of good things about it, I've just never had access to it.

[Benjamin]

It's on Hulu, I think, watch it on there!

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

A quick check tells me I can apparently only watch it with Hulu Plus (unless there's a workaround I don't know about). Apparently I can get a free week as a trial, but that's not going to work when I have exams. Especially with 97 episodes to watch.

Maybe at the end of the month.

[GoGo Yubari]

Now taking bets on which EWB favorite show Will is going to shit on next!

Okay, who had Community? Someone had to have had Community.

[Ant]

I find Elementary boring. Its turned into another formulaic case of the week show. If it had an overarching story or some sort of plot to it it would be good but it just doesn't
