    Out of all those shows, i watch one - GOT- and have seen a few episodes of Mad Men when i was bored one sunday afternoon and they were showing highlights or something. It was good but i never watched it again. I think a show either grabs you or not. So i gues i better troll network tv for any decents shows, and i appatently need netflex. Or hulu. Or the other one. Sigh. So complicated!

      @auntliddy, we just finished binge watching The Missing on Starz (on demand) and it was really well done. Only 8 episodes. It's an anthology, so each season will be different - you can take it or leave it any time. Highly recommend.

    I agree AuntLicky. It's complicated now. I don't even have a DVR because I simply have no time to watch stuff I may have missed. My friend comes over and programs my remotes. I'm hopeless.

    I love Reign even though it is completely historically inaccurate. It's lots of fun.

    I tried the Vampire Diaries and I was like this.

    Winter is coming! And I do not forgive Mad Men for cutting the last season in half to make for an extra season. That's just lazy.

      @Seven, AMC also did that to Hell on Wheels, which is one of our super favorites. After extending this past season to 13 eps, they will now do TWO seasons (2015 and 2016, ugh) of seven eps each. Totally sucks.

    I thought it was cute and funny.

    I'm a sucker for musicals and I'm still pissed that Smash was cancelled.

      I don't think it is the daddy who is the issue, but who is his MOTHER. By theory is he is the son of he heir who was supposedly killed during the rebellion but since Ed Stark couldn't stand to see a child die, took him in as his own. And it would make more sense of the Red Viper going on about (and reminding everyone) about his sister who was raped and murdered last season. Hence, he is a Targarryn and rightful heir to the throne, which will make it very interesting once Daenarys crosses the sea with her army and dragons, Anyway, just a theory

      ****SPOILER ALERT****

      I believe the same - I think Robert was the father, Lyanna was the mother, and Ned was protecting his sister's virtue by adopting Jon. Catelyn did not like Jon b/c she thought Ned cheated on her, but there's a line early on that tells you (the viewer) that is not the case and his adoption of Jon Snow was an act of charity. It's super subtle.

      You almost need an Olivia Pope whiteboard to connect the dots, but Oberyn's sis was murdered by a Lannister knight and Cersei (daughter Lannister) was supposed to marry a Targaryean. Oberyn was Dany's champion and a Lannister enemy. The Sand Snakes (Oberyn's many, many daughters) should be in the new season and it'll be interesting to see where they go with O's daughters meeting Dany.

      And that red b* queen, watch out for her. She is no good.

      7 if you agree than it must be
      i always thought ned starks sister died giving birth to jon snow
      and ned took him in to save her honor
      but was wasn't king barathias in love with neds sister and married cersei as a backup queen??
      so who are you saying is jons daddy??
      i thought ned stark was in love with his wifes sister or am i backwards
