I used to be a huge AVGN fan but I've grown older and come to really appreciate his movie reviews. When James is passionate about something you can't help but be interested
Same here. Movie was a miss, no doubt bout that, but James does keep on growing on me, I'd like he'd work more on such things, although material to work with isn't inexhaustible, I get that too... I think I also watched every single Monster Madness episode next to AVGN, those were great reviews
It was so great when it was at its height. Some of the best television ever made. I really wish that they had ended it earlier, though, and wrapped up the alien conspiracy main plot around season 6 or so.
Better call Saul has scenes that have characters that we all know are in breaking bad but still has me genuinely biting my nails anxious about what happens next. Perfection
I like Better Call Saul better than Breaking Bad personally. I empathize with Saul in a way I never did with any of the primary characters in Breaking Bad
The Next Generation is something I got into during the height of Covid happening and its one of the few things to really help me forget about whats going on. I loved every single minute of watching it, I am even right now watching it in the background on my main tv. Its a amazing comfort show
It was 1987, I was 6 years old and my dad called me down to sit on the couch, he said "going to watch a show like one that I watched when I was a kid" He had me turn on the giant console TV that was its own furniture, and we watched Encounter at Farpoint. What an influence it had throughout the years. And im happy that Dad loved the original, and was excited when TNG launched.
I have ran through every episode of the TNG series at least 3 times now lol! As well as Voyager and Enterprise and The Original Series.. What do you think of Strange New Worlds so far? I think it is badass and seems to follow suit in how Gene wrote the stories and I personally hope it continues for many more seasons, even Discovery has my attention.
6 years old as well. I was over my Grandma's house and she wanted to watch it so I watched it with her and by the end of the episode I was so engaged (see what I did there) I forgot my Grandma was even in the room and she startled me when she said "So? Did you like it?"
Great choices and well articulated as always, James. My personal 5 are: 1. The Simpsons (seasons 1-10 only) 2. Seinfeld 3. South Park 4. Curb Your Enthusiasm 5. Twin Peaks
The premiere of Adult Swim was a fundamental part of my teenage years, and definitely shaped my sense of humor. And of course Sunny did the same thing a few years later when it premiered.
@@WindFireAllThatKindOfThing this is equally depressing and amazing. Depressing because this could've easily been myself. Amazing because you're forever a canvas for one of the best animated shows ever created.
I'm surprised he didn't mention the outer limits.This was sort of a spiritual successor to the twilight zone. Surprised X-Files wasn't in the list. I loved that as a teen in the 90s
Best Twilight Zone episode for me was Printer's Devil. Season 4 Episode 9. The Devil rescues a struggling newspaper company who is losing to more modern competition. He hires on as a reporter and a typeset, with his own evil typewriter. Any story the devil prints on his machine comes true, so he creates news by causing terrible things to happen.
It kinda shows you how evil works and the news operates. Burgess is in 4 episodes like klugman and I just figured out there was this guy as a basic extra in like 35 episodes or something surpassing them
It's pretty hard to choose just five shows, but this would be my top 5 (in no particular order) - Breaking Bad - The Twilght Zone - Marvel's Daredevil - Batman: The Animated Series - Better Call Saul Honourable mentions to Seinfeld, Regular Show, Malcolm in the Middle and the early seasons of both The Simpsons and SpongeBob
I loved Better Call Saul so much, even more than Breaking Bad, but somehow after the last season ended it just disappeared from my brain and I never think about it anymore. I think that's the case with most TV. Breaking Bad probably sticks more, as does Lost. TZ definitely one of the GOATs.
The Sopranos is up there with one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Amazing characters and the best story you could set up, a mafia guy walks into a psychiatrists office suffering panic attacks. A show can’t get better than that
I guess i cant get my head around supermarket clothes in space design in Star Trek series. Which is why Stargate SG-1 made more sense to me. Normal clothes at base, but dressed for scouting when going out through the portal to explore.
I’m sure everyone and their mother have recommended this to James already but if he loves BB he needs to watch the prequel Better Call Saul which airs its final episode next week (Aug 15)! Absolute must watch for any BB fan.
Bro, not only did you name my favorite shows, and favorite cartoons, but you also named my absolute favorite episode of twilight zone. Now I understand why I keep watching cinnemassacre
That hit hard when SciFi canceled MST3K 😞. Breaking Bad is one of those shows that will forever be etched into my memory. Twilight Zone and Tales From the Crypt are some of my faves also.
I love It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. They work in some of the best movie parodies in their episodes like Million Dollar Baby (100 Dollar Baby) and the t.v. dubbed version of Die Hard 2 (The Gang Gets Held Hostage).
@@firewfire You can tell they are holding ALOT back because you aren't allowed to make jokes without being threatened these days, In that I really don't blame them.
After numerous rewatches of all the Star Trek series, I think Deep Space 9 is the best. It had to grow on me but there are some episodes that are guaranteed tear jerkers. The character development is awesome and continuity of story is very modern.
Agreed. The relationships between each character was really strong too. Quark and his shady mischief alongside Odo the grumpy law and order man. The friendship between O Brien and Dr Bashar. Of course all of the conflict between the Bajorans and Cardassians.
Give Rome a chance. Changed television history seeing as shows like Game of Thrones would never have been made without those 2 epic seasons of 23 episodes
Im so glad James mentioned the Twilight Zone episode ‘Game of Pool’, that was always one of my favorite episodes. It was never critically acclaimed like some other iconic Twilight Zone episodes, but it definitely deserves to be noticed if anything.
I feel somewhat honored that Rod Serling grew up in my hometown and went on to create one of the most influential anthologies out there. It really inspires me to make something of myself.
In a few weeks or months, I'm super curious what James will think of Better Call Saul. It's personally grown on me and I might even prefer it to BB these days. Such an amazing show.
@@lonelyone as one of my friends said, it's a very well written show with great character moments but compared to Breaking Bad the plot is motionless. I agree somewhat in the early seasons, though I feel it dramatically improved (much like Breaking Bad) as the show went on. ETA: forgot to mention I have another friend who loves BCS but couldn't get into Breaking Bad
I've rewatched TNG probably 6 or 7 times and it's never gotten old. I watched it growing up with my parents, by myself when i got older, and then i turned my wife into a nerd by introducing her to it, now we both re-watch it once every year or two. Along with DS9, Voyager, and Enterprise.
I figured James would have had Twin Peaks for sure on the list. I think my five would be Psych, Twin Peaks, Seinfeld, Twilight Zone, and the Wire. With a special honorable mention to Tales from the Crypt.
I would love to see an extended version of this where you talk about some of your honorable mentions. I got all excited when I saw the clip of Farscape and then I was kinda bummed when you didn't mention it lol. Great list though!
Some of my personal favourites would be: -Lost -Breaking Bad -Better Call Saul -Rick and Morty -Star Trek: TNG, Voyager, SNW -Doctor Who -The Walking Dead -Game of Thrones -Westworld -The Umbrella Academy -Stranger Things
Farscape is such a gem. The creature design and characters make every new episode a real treat. Especially the evolving dynamic between the protagonist and antagonist, it’s just so creative.
I love that show. I do recall though that they buy some creature to hunt down other creatures that are eating the ship or something and in one scene, not sure how it made it in, you see a guy or two pushing the creature along :D
Here’s my Top 10 Favorite Shows right now 10. The Simpsons 9. Cobra Kai 8. The Boys 7. Invincible 6. The Owl House 5. The Twilight Zone 4. Community 3. BoJack Horseman 2. Avatar: The Last Airbender 1. Breaking Bad
Would've loved to see a Twin Peaks honorable mention, also I had the exact same sentation of crossing into another dimension while watching Eraserhead.
Mine would probably be (in no particular order), Gurren Lagann, Lupin III, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Doctor Who (both classic and modern), Seinfeld, and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Nice surprise seeing The Twilight Zone. I think it's the greatest TV show ever made and I'm glad you covered the different genres. It's crazy how it basically covers everything and does it all well.
Family Matters was one of my Favorites. Each member of my family had a character that was close to them so we could all relate. Even the nerdy girl next door.
One of my personal favorites is bojack horseman on Netflix. Never have I seen a cartoon make me laugh so much with all of its lovable characters but it was also a cartoon that deals with the issues of mental health, addiction, death, and trauma that makes it almost seem real. I’ve seen it 4 times and I am currently rewatching it again
If he loves The Twilight Zone, he should check out another anthology show, Inside No. 9, especially since he's such a big horror fan too, I think this could truly be another one of his (or anyone's) absolute faves.
That's what I thought was the most wonderful thing about PIcard, he'll always hear you out. No matter how batshit crazy you sound, he'll always hear you out.
I remember watching The Twilight Zone on New Years Eve when I was in 5th grade. Just a few episodes came on that I watched that night and I wanted to see more. Easily one of my favorite shows because of how well it was written and all the ideas it had.
I've never seen Breaking Bad but I instantly recognised the guy who plays the CEO of Vought Industries, in The Boys. I see there were many great actors in BB.
Giancarlo Esposito had a career resurgence thanks to Breaking Bad. He wasn't really a known actor before, but his performance in Breaking Bad was so great that he started getting tons of high-profile roles after.
It's said that you should never meet your idols and I generally agree, but after watching this I really feel like we could have a beer and talk Twilight Zone, TNG, and other random shows and movies like old friends. Thanks for sharing 😎
Great picks, James. My top 5 shows are Breaking Bad, Stranger Things, Metalocalypse, The Strain, and Supernatural (despite COVID greatly affecting the ending).
1) Breaking Bad 2) South Park 3) It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia 4) That 70's Show 5) Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Honorable Mentions: Chappelle's Show and Vikings
It truly is a joy and pleasure to still be able to see James doing what he does best after all these years. He is one of the true OG youtubers and has never missed a beat.
My fav tv shows in no particular order 1. Spartacus 2. Married with Children 3. One Piece 4. That 70's Show 5. Sliders 6. Always Sunny in Philadelphia 7. Tales From The Crypt 8. The Office
Its always sunny is my favorite show ever. Its well written and well acted. The scenarios are hilarious on paper and in execution. "Mac and Dennis manhunters" comes to mind
The Cereal Defense and The Gang Buys a Boat may be my favorites. Hope the show gets back to their roots, last few seasons were quite disappointing tbh...
You've got to watch Better Call Saul. It surpasses Breaking Bad in most ways. The story isn't as sensational, but the characters are way more likeable and the cinematography and subtlety in symbolism is off the charts.
Like James said I may forgetting something but here’s the deal: 1. Quantum Leap 2. Friends 3. Simpsons 4. Star Trek (original 1966) 5. The Invisible Man (series 2000) P.S. Still to these day when I watch opening for Quantum Leap season 4 - it’s break my heart and I cry like a baby
10. UltraSeven 9. Death Note 8. Digimon 7. Spongebob 6. Dragon Ball Z 5. The Twilight Zone 4. Ed, Edd n Eddy 3. The Walking Dead 2. RWBY 1. The X Files
If you decide to do more monster madness this year. I would like to see your monster madness reviews on the recent Godzilla films and series that has came out from 2014 legndary movie til Godzilla singular point
Star Gate SG1 and Atlantis, FMA brotherhood, Star Trek TNG, and Outlaw Star are among my favorites. Even though I tend to like fantasy stuff more I really gravitate to sci-fi television.
similar: Monty Python, Blackadder, ST TNG, ST DS9, Top Gear, Batman TAS, Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis, and while I am (that guy still going trough) Breaking Bad, it is making a mark. I don't know if I would call them best, but fond memories: Keeping up Appearance's, Frasier, Alfred J. Kwak
I think the scariest thing about The Twilight Zone is that it still manages to resonate today, even if the future they depicted looks nothing like the year it takes place in. It's easy to find nowadays if you have MeTV.
I would say it resonates even more today, especially the episodes concerning freedom and government overreach, like the one with Burgess Meredith where he locks a fascist government worker in with him and there's a bomb. He won't relent until the man criticizes the state, after which the state decides to do away with him.

Why star trek again?
Yo jim
You know what's BS?
You gotta see dead like me it only two seasons but it's awesome also angry video game nerd I beng on that 😂
Noice
I used to be a huge AVGN fan but I've grown older and come to really appreciate his movie reviews. When James is passionate about something you can't help but be interested
Well said
Me too watched avgn back to back for years loved the breaking bad review and i wish he made more tv reviews still waiting on the better call saul one
Same but I’m still a huge AVGN fan
Same here. Movie was a miss, no doubt bout that, but James does keep on growing on me, I'd like he'd work more on such things, although material to work with isn't inexhaustible, I get that too... I think I also watched every single Monster Madness episode next to AVGN, those were great reviews
X-Files is very important to me. Probably the series that made me fall in love with horror and made me terrified of aliens!
Indeed
It was so great when it was at its height. Some of the best television ever made. I really wish that they had ended it earlier, though, and wrapped up the alien conspiracy main plot around season 6 or so.
Also, without X-files, there wouldn't be breaking bad.
Yes! X-Files is so important! I think its actually underrated!
X files was FREAKING EXCELLENT!
Better call Saul has scenes that have characters that we all know are in breaking bad but still has me genuinely biting my nails anxious about what happens next. Perfection
I like Better Call Saul better than Breaking Bad personally. I empathize with Saul in a way I never did with any of the primary characters in Breaking Bad
Giancarlo Esposito is the main reason I love Far Cry 6
The scene with Lalo and Howard in season 6 is one of those scenes where I almost yelled at the screen.
Me too I love better call Saul.
Came here to say something about Better Call Saul.
Always Sunny somehow never got stale. Despite running so long, it never seem to jump a shark. Truly remarkable. And Breaking Bad is a masterpiece.
IMO, Sunny fell apart last season, where they go to Ireland. The show just stopped being funny.
Bryan Cranston as Hal in Malcolm in the Middle is his best acting role in my opinion he's so funny
For real! Super underrated
I love that scene when he gives his speech to Malcom about teaching him how to skate. Great stuff.
Cranston doing roller disco is one of the funniest things Ive seen on TV. Look up that clip if you havent seen it.
Gifted actor.
By far. Hal is one of the greatest rolls of his career and acting. He has so much range and emotion.
I would love a video on Mystery Science Theater. It’s been mentioned, but unlike MonsterVision it hasn’t been discussed in depth.
I agree. I want that too!
MST is so excellent. I must have seen every episode and some many many times..
Me too! I'd love to have him talk about it. He has mentioned the show a number of times in passing but hasn't done a full video on it.
This is the James Rolfe that I like. You know he sits down and talks about things that I like
@@Alice-Cullen-Fan who’s that?
The Next Generation is something I got into during the height of Covid happening and its one of the few things to really help me forget about whats going on. I loved every single minute of watching it, I am even right now watching it in the background on my main tv. Its a amazing comfort show
The feeling of “hope for the future” that permeates TNG to the core is such a huge part of why I love it
Voyager is an excellent show that retains quite a bit of the TNG flavor while also pushing the adventure aspect.
if you love it you should watch deep space nine as well
Much to my surprise, I found Strange New Worlds to be really enjoyable and closest in spirit to TOS.
It's definitely not too late to catch up with the Simpsons when the only essential seasons are 3-8
i love season 1 and 2
And all on Disney+
@IP3278 ALL episodes are watchable lol!
You forgot 2.
@IP3278 Same here. I think the show took a nosedive when Matt Groening left to work on Futurama, which was around 1999 (or Season 10).
One of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes was when a WWI pilot traveled to modern times (1950s). Strongly recommend it!
It was 1987, I was 6 years old and my dad called me down to sit on the couch, he said "going to watch a show like one that I watched when I was a kid"
He had me turn on the giant console TV that was its own furniture, and we watched Encounter at Farpoint.
What an influence it had throughout the years.
And im happy that Dad loved the original, and was excited when TNG launched.
I have ran through every episode of the TNG series at least 3 times now lol! As well as Voyager and Enterprise and The Original Series.. What do you think of Strange New Worlds so far?

6 years old as well. I was over my Grandma's house and she wanted to watch it so I watched it with her and by the end of the episode I was so engaged (see what I did there) I forgot my Grandma was even in the room and she startled me when she said "So? Did you like it?"
STNG was so well made and purposeful. It’s was fantastic
Great choices and well articulated as always, James.
My personal 5 are:
1. The Simpsons (seasons 1-10 only)
2. Seinfeld
3. South Park
4. Curb Your Enthusiasm
5. Twin Peaks
TP S1&2, and FWWM are great. S3 was an interesting experiment with a spectacular end but I didn't enjoy it as much as the original run.
The premiere of Adult Swim was a fundamental part of my teenage years, and definitely shaped my sense of humor. And of course Sunny did the same thing a few years later when it premiered.
Master Shake says NO!
Same here... I love ATHF, Sealab 2021, Rick and Morty, etc. And Always Sunny is the best non animated TV show in history!
I blame Adult Swim for my poor choices in tattoos.
I look like a saturday morning trainwreck. But Brak and Zorak are pretty dope.
@@WindFireAllThatKindOfThing this is equally depressing and amazing. Depressing because this could've easily been myself. Amazing because you're forever a canvas for one of the best animated shows ever created.
I'm surprised he didn't mention the outer limits.This was sort of a spiritual successor to the twilight zone. Surprised X-Files wasn't in the list. I loved that as a teen in the 90s
I probably watched every episode of the outer limits. But after the movie i stopped watching x files.
@@karlajaeger2082 Totally agree, X Files tanked badly after the movie. The alien conspiracy plot got too convoluted.
I'm surprised he didn't mention the 80s Twilight Zone
@@discostu333 how so?
I'm curious to know that he thinks about the 80s Twilight Zone. He never mentions it.
One of my favorite shows is Avatar: The Last Airbender
Yes! As far as animatión and fantasy adventure that one is really hard to top
HA! That made my list. Right on, man.
Best Twilight Zone episode for me was Printer's Devil. Season 4 Episode 9. The Devil rescues a struggling newspaper company who is losing to more modern competition. He hires on as a reporter and a typeset, with his own evil typewriter. Any story the devil prints on his machine comes true, so he creates news by causing terrible things to happen.
Fantastic episode with a fantastic performance from Burgess Meredith, as always
Season 4 episodes were 1 hour instead of 30 mins. Printer’s Devil was by far the best episode of the season
@@Power_Glove so difficult to choose 1 but I like 5 characters in search of an exit that episode was very creative
It kinda shows you how evil works and the news operates. Burgess is in 4 episodes like klugman and I just figured out there was this guy as a basic extra in like 35 episodes or something surpassing them
It's pretty hard to choose just five shows, but this would be my top 5 (in no particular order)
- Breaking Bad
- The Twilght Zone
- Marvel's Daredevil
- Batman: The Animated Series
- Better Call Saul
Honourable mentions to Seinfeld, Regular Show, Malcolm in the Middle and the early seasons of both The Simpsons and SpongeBob
I love the appreciation for Daredevil
based list. all of these are fantastic shows
We have the same Top 5
I loved Better Call Saul so much, even more than Breaking Bad, but somehow after the last season ended it just disappeared from my brain and I never think about it anymore. I think that's the case with most TV. Breaking Bad probably sticks more, as does Lost. TZ definitely one of the GOATs.
So based for saying marvels daredevil and malcolm in the middle. Also breaking bad and bcs
The Sopranos is up there with one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Amazing characters and the best story you could set up, a mafia guy walks into a psychiatrists office suffering panic attacks. A show can’t get better than that
I love the sopranos
Star Trek TNG is one of the best pieces of fiction in any medium. It's also a fantastic teaching tool. 🖖🏼
I'm more of a ds9 guy, but TNG is a close second
I guess i cant get my head around supermarket clothes in space design in Star Trek series. Which is why Stargate SG-1 made more sense to me. Normal clothes at base, but dressed for scouting when going out through the portal to explore.
DS9 is easily my favorite Star Trek series, but TNG is great too.
Spaced, The IT Crowd and Red Dwarf are some of my favourite shows
I’m sure everyone and their mother have recommended this to James already but if he loves BB he needs to watch the prequel Better Call Saul which airs its final episode next week (Aug 15)! Absolute must watch for any BB fan.
Came here to say this.
JEFFY
Yep BCS is almost better than BB.
@@Baxtexx I've come to the same conclusion myself, but both are some of the best TV out there. Vince Gilligan is a genius.
@@Baxtexx almost! But bb is what makes it almost better
Bro, not only did you name my favorite shows, and favorite cartoons, but you also named my absolute favorite episode of twilight zone. Now I understand why I keep watching cinnemassacre
FunFact Camels have three eyelids to protect themselves from the blowing desert sand.
I poo from my own poonis.
That's interesting but I wouldn't call it fun
But that’s how desert sand makes its money
FunFact cats kidneys are so efficient they can hydrate in emergencies from drinking ocean water
That hit hard when SciFi canceled MST3K 😞. Breaking Bad is one of those shows that will forever be etched into my memory. Twilight Zone and Tales From the Crypt are some of my faves also.
I love It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
They work in some of the best movie parodies in their episodes like Million Dollar Baby (100 Dollar Baby) and the t.v. dubbed version of Die Hard 2 (The Gang Gets Held Hostage).
The show fell off hard once it went into HD
@@NeverSaySandwich1 new season was amazing though
@@firewfire You can tell they are holding ALOT back because you aren't allowed to make jokes without being threatened these days, In that I really don't blame them.
The nightman cometh is in my opinion one of the funniest episodes of any sitcom ever.
That was an awesome show!
you can truly see Jame's influences in the older shows mentioned.
James, you should definitely watch Better Call Saul.
After numerous rewatches of all the Star Trek series, I think Deep Space 9 is the best. It had to grow on me but there are some episodes that are guaranteed tear jerkers. The character development is awesome and continuity of story is very modern.
Agree wholeheartedly
Totally agree
Agreed. I enjoyed the ongoing subplots of DS9 so much.
Agreed. The relationships between each character was really strong too. Quark and his shady mischief alongside Odo the grumpy law and order man. The friendship between O Brien and Dr Bashar. Of course all of the conflict between the Bajorans and Cardassians.
Absolutely!!!
My mom loved The Next Generation when I was a kid. I always liked Patrick Stewart, he was the perfect captain. He's a pretty great actor.
Just don't let him make any creative decisions or you get stuff like the movies and the Picard show xD
Give Rome a chance. Changed television history seeing as shows like Game of Thrones would never have been made without those 2 epic seasons of 23 episodes
That show was excellent!
"THIRTEEN!!!"
Rome is awesome
Rome yes! One of my favorite scenes was the one with the raft made of corpses.
I really hope we hear James’ thoughts on Better Call Saul once its over.
Im so glad James mentioned the Twilight Zone episode ‘Game of Pool’, that was always one of my favorite episodes. It was never critically acclaimed like some other iconic Twilight Zone episodes, but it definitely deserves to be noticed if anything.
I feel somewhat honored that Rod Serling grew up in my hometown and went on to create one of the most influential anthologies out there. It really inspires me to make something of myself.
That is awesome!!!
Rod Sterling is/was my favorite writer, period. I'm jealous...
I would enjoy cinemassacre's perspective / review on one of my favorite T.V. shows. Seasons 1-7 of 'Trailer Park Boys' on showcase.
In a few weeks or months, I'm super curious what James will think of Better Call Saul. It's personally grown on me and I might even prefer it to BB these days. Such an amazing show.
@@MedalionDS9 Where did you hear James talk about that?
In one of the podcasts. I was so disappointed on him... He is just a casual BB fan.
BCS is really great! The suspense and characters are on par with Breaking Bad.
I'm not sure how someone can like one show and not the other. They share the same DNA at its core.
@@lonelyone as one of my friends said, it's a very well written show with great character moments but compared to Breaking Bad the plot is motionless. I agree somewhat in the early seasons, though I feel it dramatically improved (much like Breaking Bad) as the show went on.
ETA: forgot to mention I have another friend who loves BCS but couldn't get into Breaking Bad
Red Dwarf, Father Ted, Mighty Boosh, IT Crowd and The Original Top Gear basically made my childhood
Red dwarf is so nostalgic for me, loved watching it when I was a kid. IT crowd and father ted are top picks for me too
i love the surreal humor of the mighty boosh
Top Gear and Junkyard Wars kinda raise me now that I think of it.
Blackadder?
In no particular order: X-Files, Unsolved Mysteries, Batman: The Animated Series, Breaking Bad, Home Improvement
Home improvement? Wow, ok
I've rewatched TNG probably 6 or 7 times and it's never gotten old. I watched it growing up with my parents, by myself when i got older, and then i turned my wife into a nerd by introducing her to it, now we both re-watch it once every year or two. Along with DS9, Voyager, and Enterprise.
I am the same way with TNG! It airs on Pluto TV constantly. So I watch it a lot!
Breaking Bad, Sons Of Anarchy, Babylon 5, X-files, House, they are my top 5 shows
I figured James would have had Twin Peaks for sure on the list. I think my five would be Psych, Twin Peaks, Seinfeld, Twilight Zone, and the Wire. With a special honorable mention to Tales from the Crypt.
1. The Sopranos 2. Rome 3. Game of Thrones 4. Star Trek: TNG 5. Breaking Bad/Better Call Soul
I would love to see an extended version of this where you talk about some of your honorable mentions. I got all excited when I saw the clip of Farscape and then I was kinda bummed when you didn't mention it lol. Great list though!
Some of my personal favourites would be:
-Lost
-Breaking Bad
-Better Call Saul
-Rick and Morty
-Star Trek: TNG, Voyager, SNW
-Doctor Who
-The Walking Dead
-Game of Thrones
-Westworld
-The Umbrella Academy
-Stranger Things
cant really argue with those.
Lost was lame after season 4
I'm still watching the walking dead, but this series needed to die years ago
Walking Dead !? 😵 the woorrrst
My favourites:
-Dragon Ball Z
-Breaking Bad
-Fleabag
-Stranger Things
-Death Note
-Game or Thrones
-South Park
I think he'd like Gendy Tartakovsky's work like Samurai Jack and Primal
James could read me a telephone book and it would still be like therapy...👌
↖️I have to do something with my own fear 😱😰😰😰..
Farscape is such a gem. The creature design and characters make every new episode a real treat. Especially the evolving dynamic between the protagonist and antagonist, it’s just so creative.

James, I feel like you would love cowboy bebop. You should give it a watch! Only 26 episodes
SEINFELD , MARRIED WITH CHILDREN, BOY MEETS WORLD, SMART GUY and HOME IMPROVEMENT were my fave.

2) King of the Hill
1) Frasier

Nice surprise seeing The Twilight Zone. I think it's the greatest TV show ever made and I'm glad you covered the different genres. It's crazy how it basically covers everything and does it all well.
Family Matters was one of my Favorites. Each member of my family had a character that was close to them so we could all relate. Even the nerdy girl next door.
What nerdy girl next door? Kimmy Gibler? From Full House?
I think he just meant they had a nerdy neighbor next door like erkel. But it was a girl.
Mayra was bangin
One of my personal favorites is bojack horseman on Netflix. Never have I seen a cartoon make me laugh so much with all of its lovable characters but it was also a cartoon that deals with the issues of mental health, addiction, death, and trauma that makes it almost seem real. I’ve seen it 4 times and I am currently rewatching it again
Small mind lol
Amazing show
I was about to mention this one.
BoJack is great. I also like F is For Family which is funny and dark.
You should really watch Better Call Saul if you haven’t already, it’s on par with Breaking Bad
Idk what it is about James simply talking about entertainment that I find so captivating a fun, but he’s got a gift.
The X-Files & Tales from the Crypt are up there.
If he loves The Twilight Zone, he should check out another anthology show, Inside No. 9, especially since he's such a big horror fan too, I think this could truly be another one of his (or anyone's) absolute faves.
We should also mention The Outer Limits and Dr. Who.
Don't forget Ultra Q
I binge watched Breaking Bad during the pandemic.
ABSOLUTELY A MASTERPIECE.
Same here
@jabroni destroyer Having to wait for every episode was excruciating, but it was so much fun. Never forget it
Same
That's what I thought was the most wonderful thing about PIcard, he'll always hear you out. No matter how batshit crazy you sound, he'll always hear you out.
Can't wait to see a series breakdown on Better Call Saul!
I remember watching The Twilight Zone on New Years Eve when I was in 5th grade. Just a few episodes came on that I watched that night and I wanted to see more. Easily one of my favorite shows because of how well it was written and all the ideas it had.
Wow, this is probably the closest of a crossover we're ever gonna get with AVGN and Erik Salvia.
How so? At the beginning atm
Oh Big Money!
I’m just glad to hear James talk about stuff.
I've never seen Breaking Bad but I instantly recognised the guy who plays the CEO of Vought Industries, in The Boys. I see there were many great actors in BB.
Giancarlo Esposito had a career resurgence thanks to Breaking Bad. He wasn't really a known actor before, but his performance in Breaking Bad was so great that he started getting tons of high-profile roles after.
DUDE!!! Watch it!
Don't forget the game FAR CRY 6. Oh and he was in the mandalorian.
WATCH IT NOW NOW NOW. DO IT NOW
@@whitepenny64able Before that he also played The Dentist in Payday 2 and ends up being the main villian of that game.
The Shield was my "Breaking Bad".
Can't wait. I always been curious on what shows you love in general
"Im sorry, i dropped the ball on The Simpsons."
No, The Simpsons dropped the ball on us.
My Top 5 (Nobody Asked I know 🥲)
1. Breaking Bad
2. Rick and Morty
3. The Sopranos
4. Dragon Ball Z
5. Seinfeld
I'm so glad that not only you like The Twilight Zone the most, but also you mentioned A Game of Pool, that is my favorite episode of the series.
It's said that you should never meet your idols and I generally agree, but after watching this I really feel like we could have a beer and talk Twilight Zone, TNG, and other random shows and movies like old friends. Thanks for sharing 😎
My top 5 in no particular order: Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad, Arrested Development, Futurama, Chaves.
Twilight Zone is probably at the top for me. Seinfeld is another that I absolutely am in love with
5 The Wire
4 The Tick
3 Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends
2 Death Note
1 Batman The Animated Series
James being a Sunny fan warms my cold, dead heart.
Great picks, James. My top 5 shows are Breaking Bad, Stranger Things, Metalocalypse, The Strain, and Supernatural (despite COVID greatly affecting the ending).
I absolutely LOVE MST3K. Rifftrax is great, too. I don't think I can ever get tired of that show
1) Breaking Bad
2) South Park
3) It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
4) That 70's Show
5) Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Honorable Mentions: Chappelle's Show and Vikings
Love hearing James talking about TV! We want more!
TNG is definitely up there, one of the few shows to actually make me feel anything
It truly is a joy and pleasure to still be able to see James doing what he does best after all these years. He is one of the true OG youtubers and has never missed a beat.
Makes me want to watch some of the ones i haven't seen before. Thanks for the recommendations man
Star Trek The Next Generation was definitely my #1 show. I was 9 and 10 years old back in 1994 watching it.
My fav tv shows in no particular order
1. Spartacus
2. Married with Children
3. One Piece
4. That 70's Show
5. Sliders
6. Always Sunny in Philadelphia
7. Tales From The Crypt
8. The Office
Its always sunny is my favorite show ever.
Its well written and well acted. The scenarios are hilarious on paper and in execution. "Mac and Dennis manhunters" comes to mind
The Cereal Defense and The Gang Buys a Boat may be my favorites. Hope the show gets back to their roots, last few seasons were quite disappointing tbh...
5 No order
- The Sopranos
- It's Always Sunny
- South Park
- Breaking Bad
- Better Call Saul
You've got to watch Better Call Saul. It surpasses Breaking Bad in most ways. The story isn't as sensational, but the characters are way more likeable and the cinematography and subtlety in symbolism is off the charts.
Chicago Sunroof 🤣
@@FWDSUXARSE HE DEFECATED
Squat Cobbler. 🤣
Like James said I may forgetting something but here’s the deal:
1. Quantum Leap
2. Friends
3. Simpsons
4. Star Trek (original 1966)
5. The Invisible Man (series 2000)
P.S. Still to these day when I watch opening for Quantum Leap season 4 - it’s break my heart and I cry like a baby
You are a very successful RUclipsr part of the beginnings of the website. Thank you for existing James
10. UltraSeven
9. Death Note
8. Digimon
7. Spongebob
6. Dragon Ball Z
5. The Twilight Zone
4. Ed, Edd n Eddy
3. The Walking Dead
2. RWBY
1. The X Files
Five great choices.
Speaking of the Twilight Zone, will we be getting Monster Madness this year?
If you decide to do more monster madness this year. I would like to see your monster madness reviews on the recent Godzilla films and series that has came out from 2014 legndary movie til Godzilla singular point
Star Gate SG1 and Atlantis, FMA brotherhood, Star Trek TNG, and Outlaw Star are among my favorites. Even though I tend to like fantasy stuff more I really gravitate to sci-fi television.
Watch any Gundam? or super Robot Series?
Mine are: Monty Python's Flying Circus, Star Trek (TOS and TNG), Whose Line Is It Anyway?, The Twilight Zone, and Batman.
similar: Monty Python, Blackadder, ST TNG, ST DS9, Top Gear, Batman TAS, Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis, and while I am (that guy still going trough) Breaking Bad, it is making a mark.
I don't know if I would call them best, but fond memories: Keeping up Appearance's, Frasier, Alfred J. Kwak
Was it called “Batman”?
I think the scariest thing about The Twilight Zone is that it still manages to resonate today, even if the future they depicted looks nothing like the year it takes place in. It's easy to find nowadays if you have MeTV.
I would say it resonates even more today, especially the episodes concerning freedom and government overreach, like the one with Burgess Meredith where he locks a fascist government worker in with him and there's a bomb. He won't relent until the man criticizes the state, after which the state decides to do away with him.
@@palaceofwisdom9448 That episode brings a very dark meaning to "planned obsolescence."
You'd probably also love The Outer Limits, The X-Files, Tales from the Darkside, etc.
I'm almost certain he already knows about those.
