Top Ten Favorite TV Shows of 2013

Welcome back! BP on TV has been dormant for a while, but the wave of year-end Best Of lists inspired me to dust off the blog and share my own collection of favorites from the year. (Note: I haven’t watched everything, so series like Orphan Black, Rectify, and Top of the Lake were necessarily left off here, but they are on my To Watch list!) So click through to read my picks, and share your thoughts below.

American Horror Story recaps | BP at GMMR

Hello again! I’m sorry to say grad school has become a bit busier now that the semester is in full swing, and I’ve barely had time to keep up with watching TV, let alone writing about it, too. Thus, BP on TV has regretfully been pretty slow lately, but I hope to get back to regular blogging when I can.

That said, I have been writing weekly recaps of American Horror Story over at Give Me My Remote. The show is by no means great television, but it’s captivating, entertaining, and unique, to say the least. I’ll tweet the links every week once the article goes live, but you can also find all of them here on my author page. Hope you enjoy, and feel free to comment on the reviews over at GMMR!

The Show Must Go On | BP at GMMR

Today for Give Me My Remote, I wrote an article looking at the various shows that are losing a lead actor this season (The Office, Law & Order: SVU, Two and a Half Men, and CSI), who’s coming in to replace them, and what the historical context is for such shake-ups.
