Television vs Film

Is it just me or is anyone else hooked on season 2 of the Newsroom. Wow. I consider myself to be pretty well versed in television and media and the Newsroom is really one of a kind. When comparing premium television networks HBO and Showtime I have always been partial Showtime. With television shows like Weeds, Dexter, The L Word and Homeland it's hard to take anything away from the programming on Showtime. But at the same HBO has had several successes as well with Sopranos, True Blood and Game of Thrones. When looking closer at the premium television and even network and cable stations it's clear that television is making waves.

As most of you have probably noticed I also am a big fan of film and going to the movies, but I have not bee excited at all about the offers on the big screen this year. Hopefully the Fall and Winter will bring in some Oscar worthy films, but right now in time I'd have to say that television is much more entertaining that film. With several A list actors choosing starring roles on the small screen television shows are becoming as dynamic and engaging as some of the best movies. This is really exciting news for those of us that enjoy a good television series. My suggestion for anyone looking for a television series to love is the Newsroom. Although in their 2nd season you can easily get caught with, Netflix, On demand and other sources.

What other television shows do you think are "must see TV"? Do you agree that big screen is lagging behind some of the top television shows?
