"Control" was really good.
"The Wire" is the best thing on television. I also like "Friday Night Lights","Mad Men","Brotherhood","Big Brother", "Terminator:The Sarah Conner Chronicles","The Sopranos","The Shield","The Riches","Medium","Rescue Me","House",SNL,"30 Rock","Dexter","The Office","My Name Is Earl","Survivor","Freaks And Geeks","ER","24","Prison Break","Damages","Unbeatable Banzuke","Fligh Of The Conchords",MST3K,Letterman,Conan and,of course,"Ninja Warrior"!. I hate "American Idol" because it encourages bad music.
