This is the time of year you start hearing folks whining about how wish the fall TV season would start already. I firmly believe those days are over and those folks are missing out. When the networks take their holiday, cable networks step up and in many cases offer vastly superior product. Right now I'm watching some of my favorite shows. I'll actually be sad when it's fall because that means having to wait for these to start up again.

Weeds: We're two episodes in on this season and I am digging it. The banter between the family members is hilarious this season and Shane has been the show stealer show far. I'm curious to see how Kevin Nealon and Guillermo Diaz will come in to play this year.

Rubicon: Some people are saying this show is moving too slowly but that is exactly why I like it. I love the atmosphere of the show, that bizarre office building, the city. I am very intrigued by the storylines and very curious to see where this one goes.

Mad Men: Overall this is still probably my favorite show on TV. We're seeing a much more vulnerable side of Don Draper this season and I'm enjoying every minute of it.

Entourage: I guess I understand the criticisms this show receives but I enjoy it. I was glad to see Billy come back as he is one of my favorite characters and I enjoy seeing Ari finally squirm.

True Blood: Oh True Blood. This show is so insane and that is why I love it so much. I don't even know where to start.

The big show I am looking forward to right now is Boardwalk Empire. It looks absolutely incredible. It also has Omar. On top of that we have the returns of Eastbound and Down and Bored to Death next month. I may never watch network TV again.

OK, that is a lie.
