The Big Mad Morning Show kicked off with a discussion of the New York Times list of the 100 best television shows of the 21st century, and the hosts had strong opinions. Breaking Bad landed at number one, which Corbin admitted he didn't enjoy. "I don't have a good reason why I didn't enjoy it," he said. "I just was like, I get it. Also wildly not realistic." Lindsay pushed back, calling it well-put-together and dramatic, and suggested Corbin give it another shot as a Sunday afternoon binge. Corbin's counteroffer: "I'll give it another chance when I'm bedridden."
The list produced plenty of debate. Game of Thrones came in at number six. Lindsay agreed it was some of the best television in a while — the first couple seasons, anyway. "The last few seasons, eh."

The Office (US) landed at eleven, with the UK version at sixteen. "It's the same show just with Brits and Americans," Corbin said. "Both brilliant in their own right."
