Even if she bakes you delicious cakes and gives you birthday cards stuffed with money, there’s a good chance your grandmother isn’t up on all of television’s latest offerings of the day. And that’s why she’s your grandmother.

When my grandma recently asked me what DVD I was watching on my computer, I just told her it was “some silly vampire show.” Then I looked at the last few series I had watched, and realized I’d never show her any of those, either. Here are five of the best ones that she’ll probably never see.

#5: The Famous Vampire Series True Blood.

If you get past all the violence and the blood and the amount of dead vampires attacking humans and all the like, you’ve still got to contend with a ridiculously high amount of sex on the show, which for a television production is surprisingly graphic. I don’t think this will be headed grandma’s way.

#4: The Wire.

If we ignore the gang violence, rampant drug use, and generally bleak vision that this show presents of America, depsite its selected moments of redemption, we’re left with… well, what are we left with? That’s the whole thing that makes this show great. Why does grandma have to deal with this at her age?

#3: The HBO Series that Started It All — The Sopranos.

Maybe she’ll get a kick out of the moral issues, but the murdering of prostitutes, brutal mobster violence, and insanely high amount of swearing might make your viewing experience — sitting next to your grandma on her’70s-vintage couch, eating scones — a little bit uncomfortable.

#2: Chiklis and The Shield.

Let’s say your grandma was helped across the road by a nice policeman. This show does not profile that nice policeman — instead it involves the ultra-corrupt Chiklis and his band of other, equally deviant cops, who will shake your nana’s faith for a long while.

#1: The Messy Insanity That is Breaking Bad.

There’s no reason your grandma should really have to sit there and watch a teacher’s complete and insane unraveling when it comes to his terminal illness and his burgeoning meth production facility. You’re showing your grandma this? Are you crazy?

Avoid all of these situations by just putting on 60 minutes and smiling, and saying they don’t really make any good TV shows nowadays.
