Features-The Jerk's 5 favorite Netflix shows 2/6/14


5. Sons of Anarchy- I have sort of a love/hate relationship with the boys of SAMCRO.  I love the club and the familial unit they have formed and I hate how ridiculous it has gotten as of late.  It has the Weeds disease.  It tries to do too much when we liked it the way it was before.  Still, it's a good drama that provides enough action to keep even Michael Bay fans involved in its story.  


4. Bob's Burgers- This is a new one for me.  I had never seen Bob's Burgers until this week.  There is something about a grown man watching more than 5 cartoons regularly that is unsettling.  But Bob's Burgers is worth being unsettling.  It is funny.  And it doesn't really reach for much more.  It has no agenda, it has no point, it's just funny.  The perfect way to kill 22 minutes.


3. It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia- Sunny is at number 3 this week.  I just didn't watch enough of it.  And I have to admit I feel weak.  Like I didn't drink, snort, smoke, or rectally absorb enough of The Gang.  It will make a comeback next week.  I already have a day blocked out for it.


2.  Wilfred- Part of the reason I didn't watch enough Sunny this week was because of this little guy right here.  There is just something about watching Frodo get baked on his couch with an Australian mutt that I find hilarious.  This comedy has gained some notoriety in the last couple of years, but is still mostly a well-kept secret.  Get in on it.  It is designed for binge-watching.


1. Lost- Well it's consumed me.  If Wilfred was designed for binge-watching, then Lost was designed for television addicts.  This show.  This goddamn show.  I have slept about 12 hours this week because I can't turn it off.  It's incredible.  And it's good, but not great.  It's certainly no Breaking Bad.  It's not The Shield.  But they end every episode by forcing you to watch the next one.  I have been mainlining Lost for the last week and still have a long way to go.

Am I awesome, or just a Jerk? Let me know. I promise not to bite, unless you happen to be bacon. In which case I'd like to know how you got off my sandwich and gained consciousness. But I digress...
