Here are my picks for the Best of Television for 2010
(With the ranking from the three previous lists (Best of 2009, Best of 2008/ Best of TV - Fall 2007/ Winter 2008 Season) in parenthesis.):
1. Friday Night Lights (DirecTV/NBC) - (1, 1, 3)
New team, new kids, new problems, same Tammy, same Coach Taylor, same clear eyes, same full hearts, still can't lose.2. Breaking Bad (AMC) - (Favorite But Not Caught Up)
We know drugs creates a lot of drama but who knew it could also be so funny? Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul are intensely brilliant together as the drug-making odd-couple.3. Community (NBC) - (Not Ranked)
Inanity at its best, with attention to details while going for the comedy gusto.4. The Good Wife (CBS) - (Not Ranked)
A perfected balance of procedural law cases and personal drama with a strong ensemble AND guest cast.5. Modern Family (ABC) - (3, New)
Delightfully heartwarming with some charming zingers.6. Cougar Town (ABC) - (Not Ranked)
Nicely settled into older friends who like to drink, and drunk friends can be very very funny.7. Parks & Recreation (NBC) - (Not Ranked)
Another tight comedy ensemble that only seems to get better as they've finally figured out their awkward workplace rhythm. 8. Better Off Ted (ABC) - (9, New)
Sadly, this terrific workplace comedy that skewered big corps and their minions never found an audience but hopefully will live on with DVD.9. 30 Rock (NBC) - (8, 5, 4)
Still insane, still completely all over the place, but still getting in the laughs.10. Bored to Death (HBO) - (Not Ranked)
A show that stars three folks I tend to think of as annoying, but totally lovable and hilarious here in this pseudo-detective noir comedy.11. Nurse Jackie (Showtime) - (5, New)
12. Party Down (Starz) - (Not Ranked)
13. Ugly Betty (ABC) - (11, 7, 9)
14. Lost (ABC) - (2, 2, 1)
15. Glee (FOX) - (4, New)
16. The Big Bang Theory (CBS) - (10, 20, Not Ranked)
17. Bones (FOX) - (13, 15, 15)
18. Greek - (abcFamily) - (17, Not Ranked)
