53Mad Men - Season One
Welcome to a world where Monday has a three drink minimum. Mad Men exists here and it's a fabulous place to visit, back before Betty Friedan's Feminine Mystique
really made much of an impact and before the Surgeon General put
warning labels on cigarettes. It was an America on the brink of social
explosion and Mad Men, which tells the story of a group of
Madison Avenue advertising executives in the early 1960s, captures that
surface stillness perfectly, complete with the growing tension barely
contained below the surface.

The Office - Season Five
Season Five is not just another day at The Office, delivering break-ups, corporate shake-ups, and a game-changing finale that, as with Jim (John Krasinski), should leave you ecstatic and speechless. The writers continue their masterful handling of the Jim and Pam (Jenna Fischer) romance, taking care of some unfinished business from last season's finale in the season opener with a glorious rain-swept gas station proposal. Their initial separation--while she attends art school in New York--avoids the usual sitcom mechanics ("We are not that couple," Jim states as he aborts a panicked trip to see her).

Planet Earth
As of its release in early 2007, Planet Earth is quite simply the greatest nature/wildlife series ever produced. Following the similarly monumental achievement of The Blue Planet: Seas of Life, this astonishing 11-part BBC series is brilliantly narrated by Sir David Attenborough and sensibly organized so that each 50-minute episode covers a specific geographical region and/or wildlife habitat (mountains, caves, deserts, shallow seas, seasonal forests, etc.) until the entire planet has been magnificently represented by the most astonishing sights and sounds you'll ever experience from the comforts of home.
True Blood: First Season
Alan Ball’s True Blood series works well for television, as it
has enough sensationalism to tantalize and enough story girth to make
the viewer care about the characters. That one can finally invest
emotion into monsters, including an undead Civil War victim, a
transformer who can shapeshift into various animals, and a female mind
reader, speaks volumes about America’s willingness to accept fantasy.
Of course, television has always produced good fantasy shows (I Dream of Jeannie), but True Blood’s
Southern Goth brand of fun horror is more macabre and more perverse,
not to mention gorier, than most shows of its kind to date. Adapted
from Charlaine Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse novels, True Blood thrills because of its equal blend in each episode of erotica, humor, tragedy, mystery, and fantasy.
