TV on DVD: Tuesday, June 7, 2011

If you like your TV characters to be morally ambiguous, then this is the week for you.

Breaking Bad: The Complete Third Season
Sure, they had been cooking and dealing drugs to some of the poorest, most exploitable people (not to mention killing the occasional dealer/competitor), but even after the events of the first two seasons Walter and Jesse could have walked away, righting their paths. This season changes that, as they are forced into the business for good, by going corporate. This might seem odd, but as it turns out, meth is the only industry that wasn't hit by the economic downturn.

Pretty Little Liars: The Complete First Season
It's like a combination of Mean Girls and Twin Peaks, but on ABC Family.

The Secret Life of the American Teenager: Volume Six
After this season, I think it's safe to say that Secret Life is the Friday Night Lights for people who are pro-life but anti-football.

Burn Notice: Season Four
Really, isn't about time that they lose Michael and let the show become a buddy crime show for Sam and Fiona?

Also out this week: HawthoRNe: Season Two, Leverage: Third Season, White Collar: Season Two, and The Big C: The Complete First Season.

I absolutely cannot believe anyone would (or could?!) even think to put Secret Life in the same sentence as Friday Night Lights, tongue in cheek or not. I know you're referring to the abortion storyline on FNL last year but...augh. Friday Night Lights is among the best ever on television. Secret Life is utter crap produced to brainwash children into thinking that they can't make their own decisions when they grow up.

Thank you Stephanie for posting what I was going to. My darling niece used to watch The Secret Life, thankfully she has stopped and I couldn't even handle listening to it as she watched. Friday Night Lights...I am savoring it as I know as soon as I the season ends on NBC it is over for good and that saddens me.

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS! RIP. Awesome show. Even looking back at the 5 seasons I have already seen, I realize how amazing it is/was. Don't ever put it in the same sentence/paragraph/article as the crap that is. It belongs with Mad Men, Breaking Bad, The Good Wife and Fringe. It's gonna be missed.
