# 2011 Editor’s Picks: David
Over the last decade everyone has been making a fuss about how
**TV-series** are becoming more important and innovative than **big
screen movies**. This is totally wrong. Even though both use moving
pictures, they are two quite different forms. It's like comparing a 7
verse poem to a 500 pages epos or a one page comic in a newspaper to a
graphic novel.
That said I hereby present you my **top five TV shows** this year.
**5. Beavis and Butthead Season 9**
Forget about [any fuckin reunion of any given band on eart][1]{:
target="_blank"}h. **Mike Judge**'s Beavis and Butthead is the comeback
of the year. What I've seen so far, was more than great, which is why
Charlie and the Gang haven't been in my year's end list for seven years
now.
**4. Louie Season 2**
The second season of stand up comedian [Louis CK][2]{: target="_blank"}
started with a big fart and made me cry in the last episode. In-between
there have been more touching scenes than in all seasons of Six feet
under together.
**3. Game of Thrones Season 1**
It's been epic. Not only in terms of money (allegedly the pilot alone
cost more than 20 million dollars) the cast (from **Sean Bean** as Ned
Stark to any given squire, all the actors were brilliant), but regarding
the story. **George R.R. Martin** works on a seven books long fantasy
series and **HBO** turned book one into the first season of an epic TV
show. There is much more to come!
**2. Workaholics Season 2**
Season 1 was so so, but season 2 turned Workaholics in the most fun TV
show this year. Blake, Adam and Anders are three post graduate mid 20ies
guys who work at a telemarketing company and share a house. The humor is
as stupid as it sounds, but it works. Also great: guest appearances of
guys like [Tyler, the Creator and his gang][3]{: target="_blank"} among
many others.
**1. Homeland Season 1**
Originally an Israeli TV show (like the great In Treatment), a team
around **Howard-24-Gordan** developed it for the American market. And
like no TV show before it turned all our fears into 10 episodes ala 50
minutes of pure thrilling entertainment. You never guess what's coming
next yet nevertheless it's always plausible. In addition to that it
features performances by **Claire Danes** and **Damian Lewis** and is
one of the best in TV show's history.
Haven't seen more than two seasons of **Breaking Bad** though.
