This is Rolling Stone magazine Top 25 shows of 2015. How many of these shows have you seen (or want to see?)

I have seen four, from #25 to #1 like the article....

10. Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. (I love this show and John Oliver is HILARIOUS!) Oddly, I never have watched The Daily Show or Colbert's program but do watch Bill Maher. If you haven't watched this show yet (it's on HBO but also on YouTube and I am sure a lot of other places online.)

9. Better Call Saul. Which was OK, hope the second season, if it ever comes, will be better. If anybody else than Bob Odenkirk and Michael McKeon were in it, I probably wouldn't bother with it, but it does have a lot of good actors.

7. Fargo. Excellent series! My only complaint was that they did not use Nick Offerman enough....and the UFO thing was a bit lame.....

2. Mad Men. I liked it, but I like history a lot and the show did a great job with that. Basically was a soap opera show to me. I wish it could have been more humourous and had more to do with the office and less of the sex and personal life of the characters, but the show did this well.

#1 is something called Mr. Robot. Empire or Games of Thrones have never interested me in the slightest. Some of the stuff, I have no idea.

Lastly, I never understood Louis C.K. I have tried to watch his act, never really thought much of him, but he seems to have a following.

0! I watch more current shows than some but none that made this list.

tlc38tlc38 · 01-30-2016, 01:36 PM

Absolutely none!

The only current shows I watch are "Wheel of Fortune" and "Days of our Lives".

Retro4Life · 01-30-2016, 03:24 PM

Honestly, I've never watched any of them.

It's sad that there are so few shows on the list from the "Big Four", and that so many are from HBO and Netflix, which you have to pay for. I don't doubt there is some quality here, but right now I can't afford to pay much for TV and even if I could, there's not much here that trips my trigger.

'Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp' : I love the movie, but I made it through 2 episodes of the series, just no where as funny as the movie was.

Fargo: Watched and enjoyed the first season, just didn't get around to watching the second.

Those are the only 2 I've watched.

Crusinforabrusin · 01-30-2016, 04:02 PM

Honestly, they all suck in my option. The only modern shows I really watch are Mike And Molly And The Simpson's. And even then, I don't watch them that often

tvfan25 · 01-30-2016, 07:05 PM

I've never watched any of them. Heck, I've never even heard of most of them!

I've seen Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Mad Men and Mr. Robot. All three are excellent shows. Last Week Tonight is absolutely hilarious. and Mad Men is an example of an absolutely perfect series. Mr. Robot is good too.

None! I am not really into any current shows besides "MLP:FiM" and that I just watch on Netflix. I am going to try to get into "Castle" and "Once Upon a Time."

Dr. Loveless · 02-04-2016, 12:41 AM

I've watched (and enjoyed):

23. Halt and Catch Fire
9. Better Call Saul
7. Fargo
4. The Americans
2. Mad Men

The rest listed in the article don't interest me, except for Game of Thrones, but I always watch it a year after each season premieres, since I rent it on disc rather than subscribe to HBO, which isn't worth the money. 2015 series I watched that didn't make the list:

Ray Donovan (Showtime... Netflix disc rental for me)
Justified (F/X, final season)
Outlander (Starz, second half of Season 1... Netflix disc rental for me)
The Man in the High Castle (Amazon Prime)
Humans (AMC/Channel 4)
The Bastard Executioner (F/X)
BattleBots (ABC)
The Amazing Race (CBS)

The rest of the time, I watch classic TV and movies.
