My legion of Ripping Good Yarn fans, I am proud to announce the second award for 2014, given in the category of Basic Cable Dramas! Two awards will be given in this category, one will be the Ripping Good Strait Award that is solely determined by me because well, to paraphrase one of my least favorite politicians, Ronald Reagan, "I own this microphone!" The first will be the Ripping Good Fan award determined by all of your votes!
Ripping Good Fan Award, Basic Cable Drama
Orphan Black and Twisted each received 10% of the vote.
American Horror Story received 15% of the vote.
Breaking Bad received 25% of the vote.
The Ripper's Fan Award goes to........
The Walking Dead!
The best character driven show on television. If you are not watching this show because zombies sound icky, you are missing out. The stakes are high, the emotion is real, the action and story movement is superb.
Ripping Good Strait Award, Basic Cable Drama
Breaking Bad!
It's impossible to let this great show end without honoring it's tremendous run. A premise that sounds awful - a teacher becomes a maker of meth in order to pay medical bills, turns into one of the greatest character studies in the history of television. Walter White was a man more monstrous by the fact tat he didn't know how monstrous he was.
