My 50 Favorite Television Shows of the 00s
November 30, 2009Now, let me just say off the bat that I do not believe these are the 50 best shows of this decade (although some certainly are). These are just the 50 television shows that brought me the most entertainment, the ones that I am most fond of when I think back on the decade. I contemplated doing this in order of love/respect but then this post would never get done so I’ll do a Top 10.
I decided to leave off The Simpsons and South Park because they’ve been on for so long (and I needed any excuse to make room for other shows) but they both had great episodes in the 00′s and if I didn’t need the room, they’d make the cut.
I tried to stick with shows that had at least two full seasons under its belt unless the show had been canceled like Freaks and Geeks.
And, no, I’ve never watched The West Wing or ER and that’s why they aren’t on the list.
TV Power Rankings: 11/08 – 11/14
November 16, 2009Worst Show of Last Week: Saturday Night Live (Host: Taylor Swift) – Aside from her monologue song which was cute, this was another terrible episode. Are they even trying anymore?
The Power Rankings: (may contain mild spoilers)
10. South Park (Episode: “Dances With Smurfs”) – I’m afraid they may have ruined Avatar for me.
9. 30 Rock (Episode: “The Problem Solvers”) – It’s still not great but it’s been getting better. I’m a sucker for any mocking of Canada
8. The Office (Episode: “Murder”) – I’m glad Ed Helms is getting a bigger role this season.

TV Power Rankings: 11/01 – 11/07
November 9, 2009Worst Show of Last Week: V (Episode: “Pilot”) – There wasn’t any particularly bad television this week but this was more like a lost opportunity. They rushed so much of the show’s premise robbing the show of any tension or character development. I think it’s more of a lack of faith in a TV viewer to stick around to see where’s something going without spelling everything out right away.
The Power Rankings: (may contain mild spoilers)
10. The League (Episode: “The Bounce Test”) -I think FX has finally found a show to follow It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I wonder how many eskimo brothers I have.
9. FlashForward (Episode: “The Gift”) – I was ready to give up on this show but this was the best the show has been since the first half of the pilot. The suicide is a bit of a game changer so now what?
8. Community (Episode: “Home Economics”) – I officially have a crush on Alison Brie (she has also been great as Trudy on Mad Men). I hope this isn’t the last we see of the Pierce/Vaughn war. Read the rest of this entry ?
TV Power Rankings: 10/25 – 10/31
November 3, 2009So I decided to give myself a new project. I’m going to try to rank the top 10 shows I watched on a week by week basis. Since I usually don’t finish watching a given week’s shows until Sunday, this will probably run late. (I watch over 25 hours of TV a week).
Worst Show of Last Week: Cougar Town (Episode: “A Woman in Love (It’s Not Me)”) – The scary thought is that before I remembered I watched Cougar Town (which will probably always be the worst show I watch every week), I was going to say 30 Rock.
