TV: HF TV Awards (may contain spoilers)

[Shareefruck]

Maybe I should watch season 1 of TWD over again but I thought it was very well done and had a ton of promise. Would never even bother with Prison Break as a show with that theme on network TV is ridiculous, especially as a huge fan of Oz.

I've actually only seen the first season of Walking Dead and I thought it was terrible-- just really contrived and totally uninspired/formulaic.

Suffice it to say, my favorite television shows of all time are Six Feet Under, The Wire, Breaking Bad and LOST.

I omitted many of the "worst of" categories because if I don't like something, I usually stop watching it after a couple seasons if the quality doesn't improve.

It's amazing to me how many people haven't seen Six Feet Under, and thus, how underrated and underappreciated it is.

Edit: For most interesting character I thought you had Nate instead of David, but nonetheless, both fit the category for me. Though I think Nate was slightly more interesting, better written and conceived than David.
