Here are my favorite TV quotes of 2009: "If Skynet actually did exist in the Future, a perfect way to infiltrate and destroy all of mankind would be to send Terminators back posing as actors who have played Terminators in popular films and television series, lulling us into a false sense of security - i.e.:...

It's a 'Mad,' 'Mad,' world and I love watching it

"Mad Men" is back for a third season this Sunday at 10 p.m. on AMC.

And for those of you who aren't fans of the show, I can already predict what you are going to say -- that nothing happens in the premiere.

What made you the TV viewer you are today?

What show made you a TV fan? Clearly most of us take TV a bit more seriously than the average viewer. So what was the show that got you hooked?

Dennisrodman_thecelebrityapprentice_s2_240 I love The Celebrity Apprentice.

I can't help it. I watched the second season of The Celebrity Apprentice, premiering Sunday at 9 p.m. on NBC, with unabashed glee. I love Donald Trump's pomp, pompadour, penchant for hyperbole and unapologetic nepotism. It's all just so preposterous. This season's contestants are Clint Black, Andrew Dice Clay, Annie Duke, Tom Green, Natalie Gulbis, Scott Hamilton, Jesse James, Claudia Jordan, Khloe Kardashian, Brian McKnight, Joan Rivers, Melissa Rivers, Brande Roderick, Dennis Rodman, Herschel Walker and Tionne Watkins.

Lisaedelstein_house_s5_240 It's time for another edition of I'm not picking up what you're putting down . . . As much as I really really like House, I simply don't think I'm ever going to want House and Cuddy to get together.
