Matthew: Television Never Needs to End!

Spring can be a difficult time for many television lovers. All of your favorite shows are coming to an end for the season, some may even be ending for good. While most people spend their new found extra time outside enjoying the hot weather and being active, I say don't become one of those miserable people! You paid good money for that t.v (or computer depending on your watching situation), don't let it go to waste! You may be saying to yourself "but Matthew you crazy handsome goof! What is there to watch in the off season besides re-runs and annoying reality competition shows?" And it is for you, that I have made this list.


Nurse Jackie 

This Showtime series follows nurse Jackie Peyton (Eddie Falco) as she battles with her addiction to pain killers. It would seem that leading a double life on top of a drug addiction is an easy balancing act for nurse Jackie. But even the best drop a few things now and again.

Genre: Comedy
Current Season: 3 episodes into season 4

The Big C

Another Showtime series, The Big C follows Cathy Jamison (Laura Linney) as she navigates her way through cancer. Being diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma (not good) Cathy begins to find the humor in her life, and discover the things that are really important.

Genre: Comedy
Current Season: 3 episodes into season 3

Veep

Veep is a brand new comedy on HBO starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Selina Meyer, the Vice President of the Unites States. What sets this show apart from other political shows is that its a half hour comedy, which is a fresh and unique way of looking at the white house.

Genre: Comedy
Current Season: 1 episode into season 1    

Game of Thrones

Okay, so I haven't watched Game of Thrones, so I can't really recommend it. BUT, I know several people who are watching it/reading the series and loving it. So I think I'm going to give it a go! The description on IMDB says " Seven noble families fight for control of the mythical land of Westeros". OOoOOoOoO sounds fun!

Genre: Drama
Current Season: the 5 episode of the 2nd season airs this Sunday


Got any recommendations for me? Leave a comment!
