Game on!

For the past two or three years, it's been my contention that Mad Men is the best show in TV, and Chuck is the most enjoyable show on TV. But as I prepare for the final three episodes of the first season of Game of Thrones - last night's episode is waiting patiently for me in my DVR - the HBO series is threatening to steal both crowns.

It's admittedly nerdy of me to envelope myself in a fantasy series like Game of Thrones. It's not a genre I typically enjoy, but when done right, fantasy offers amazing displays of creativity and storytelling - see The Rings, Lord of. Games of Thrones is such an example. The show fires on all cylinders. My admiration of it is surely an example of being a prisoner of the moment, but while most shows are on their summer hiatus, Games of Thrones sits atop of the throne as the best show on TV.
