The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.
it's the pinnacle achievement of both literature and televised broadcasting

That's mad men.

Game of thrones is pretty much good but in an escapist, turn your brain off and just watch stupid poo poo, tits, and cool visual effects for an hour.

Anyone who gets really into this poo poo and actually reads the books are stupid

haha yeah dude mad men is the best tv show of our generation, mad men on AMC right next to walking dead. yeah dude I can definitely get behind that, mad men being a better show than true detective, six feet under, house of cards, GoT. rarely have I seen storytelling as good as mad men, such compelling characters too. wow yeah, mad men.

House's character alone completely obliterates any of the 2-dimensional beings on mad men, sorry if you think otherwise.

house is an OK show for network tv with one good character. ive never heard it uttered in the same breath as those other (actually good) shows you mentioned. i've only seen a couple seasons of mad men and i found it boring so i stopped watching :shrug:

House himself is pretty much the only reason to watch House, the show was very formulaic to the point where I'm pretty sure it's because the writers knew that people only watched it for House and I guess Wilson

House, the character, is basically Urkel: At first he was more of a background character that came in to steal the show when it mattered, but like halfway through the first season the writers were like "oh wait this dude is the real reason people watch let's give him the spotlight" and then they did 6 seasons of that

exactly, mad men is one of those boring network TV shows that doesn't even deserve to be compared to any other show in the past 10 years. here's a better show than mad men that literally just started: better call saul. it's even on the same channel.

It's gbs so I'm not going to go dig it up myself but the commentary on the show says that initially they wanted house to be more of a bg character and have the show focus on the rest of his team (and they were originally going to have wilson be the main character instead of house which is like what) but it didn't work out

Everybody knew House was formulaic as gently caress, people watched for the dialogue and character interaction. And to see House own people.

house episodes were generally worse when they deviated from the formula (with a few exceptions)
