    1. I felt that way about Breaking Bad, but I was hooked with the first episode I saw. I came in for the last two seasons only and I still need to catch up one day. The acting, story lines, and the shocking twists were unlike anything I've ever seen.

      House of Cards is my new BB.

  41. I'm the only person alive who thought Breaking Bad was boring. Every time I attempted that series I fell asleep.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Miss Kitty, and others...
    To be clear, TTM started a blog for her book club a few months ago (April or even earlier). That came first. It was only after a few 'things' happened (whatever they were, I didn't see any of them), that she decided to stop posting at CDAN.

    They are just blogs on the internet, it's not a competition. No need for drama.

    Back to the show.

  46. New rule, if you win the Emmy and you don't show up for the show, the audience gets to pick the winner from the nominees who are there.

    Doctor's note or death are the only exceptions.

  56. I do think she is a big drunk and I still think she's the one that got fired from American Horror for always being shmammered. :) they are just letting her get away with saying she is "stepping down".
