Best in 2011: TV

There is so much T.V. out there you would think this would be a hard category to choose… actually so much out there is actually crap this was so easy I basically built the categories around the few shows I love.

Best Comedy – Big Bang Theory
Best Crime/Drama – Person of Interest
Best Sci Fi/Action – Falling Skies
Best Show I Should Have Been Watching – The Walking Dead
Best Finale – The Rescue Me Finale

Best Comedy – Big Bang Theory

Not much to explain here, great show, if you haven’t seen it yet then it is too late to save you. 5 Stars.

Best Crime/Drama – Person of Interest

When they started LOST the show was great it really took that turn towards legendary with the introduction of Henry Gale and the progression to Ben Linus.  Michael Emerson’s ability to deliver dialogue without words what makes his characters great.  The concept of someone taking a Big Brother watch dog program and exploiting it only to help others is something that goes against all things American it seems.  Who does something for nothing?

Amazing show.  The only thing that could ruin it is 5 spin-offs in cities around the globe.  (Person of Interest Chicago, Person of Interest Paris)

Best Sci Fi/Action – Falling Skies

So I thought T.V. was going to crap when they cancelled V, I loved V, but this show made me forget V was even gone.  I still wish to see V back on T.V. but what Steven Spielberg brought to the small screen is the greatest thing to ever happen to Sci Fi T.V.  The clean up and survival after alien invasion is far better than winning in the first place.

Watching humans align with invaders not for survival, but power brings us down to the most basic of instincts… greed

Best Show I Should Have Been Watching – The Walking Dead

It took me half-way through Season Two to finally start watching Season One on my DVR and aside from missing out on a year of a great show the benefit was watching 14 or so episodes in 3 days.  Essentially a mini-marathon of awesomeness.
