1. I'm now all caught up with Breaking Bad. OMG SO GOOD EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH THIS SHOW. And conveniently (well, sort of...) AMC is rerunning the entire series every day until the season 5 premiere in July... granted, they're generally at 1AM-4AM-ish, so it helps to have a DVR or be on a vampire's sleep schedule, but you really should watch it. I'd say it's among the top five best shows ever. Definitely one of the best-acted, and it is by far and away the most gorgeous show on TV. Those desert vistas, man...

Talk to me, BB fans! I am now unspoilable!

P.S. Dear Jesse Pinkman, I have a blanket and a cup of tea waiting for you. Let's cuddle. Love, me.

2. Mad Men season finale? I am surprisingly meh. Granted this was much more of a denouement episode after the HUGE events of the last two weeks, but the only thing I was really thinking after the finale is that I would totally watch a spin-off of Don and Peggy MST3K-ing at the movies. Also LOL at the number of times Pete Campbell has been punched in the face this season.

3. Anyone watching Bunheads? Stupidest title ever, but it's a very Gilmore Girls-y show from Amy Sherman-Palladino, with Broadway star Sutton Foster (whom I saw in Thoroughly Modern Millie and thinks she's adorbs). I've only seen the pilot (it premiered last night, but it's been available online for a while now) and I'm still very undecided. The first episode is very heavy on setting up the premise, so I don't feel like I have a sense of what the actual show will be like.

4. New web series to check out: WIGS. It's an ongoing project that produces high quality webisodes and short films, all featuring female protagonists. I'm really enjoying "Jan," about a photographer's assistant who's trying to break into the business, and "Blue," which features Julia Stiles as a call girl who hides her job from her teenage son. There's also "Serena," a short film with Jennifer Garner, but I haven't watched that one yet.

5. Dammit! Yvonne Strahovski (formerly of Chuck) will be guest starring on Dexter next season. Now I'm gonna have to watch it. In other news, apparently the Deb/Dexter thing isn't going away. FML.

6. Burn Notice is back this week!

For the most part, though, the summer is pretty light on TV. I have a TON of shows still on the to-watch list, so I welcome suggestions as to which should be next.

Don't forget the gruff but secretly soft-hearted personality and the backwards baseball cap...
