Two Seasons, Twenty episodes down and the show is still mostly a mystery. With The Walking Dead keeping the Fall T.V. series interesting and action packed, Falling Skies is making summer television worth watching.
Some may compare the two shows to a disappointing second season with minimal action until the finale. But in fact the show used the first season to build the action and suspense and used most of the second season for character development and answer some much-needed questions.
Producers got away from the high-production action series after the 80’s run of shows like A-Team, Knight Rider, Air Wolf and the Fall Guy and instead brought rise to the high-salaried comedy sitcoms with the success of Cosby, Cheers then eventually Seinfeld and Friends. Hopefully the success of these shows will bring rise to a second coming of action drama success.

Thank you DVR.
There is so much T.V. out there you would think this would be a hard category to choose… actually so much out there is actually crap this was so easy I basically built the categories around the few shows I love.
