BEST1.
Mad Men. The best show on TV.
2.
30 Rock. The funniest show on TV.
3.
Lost. Just when I started to drift away from this show they pull off an amazing year.
4.
Chuck. I really hope NBC sticks with this show. One of the more entertaining hours on television.
5.
The Colbert Report. Both Colbert and Jon Stewart handled the election well this year, but Colbert did something special.
6.
The Mentalist. My favorite new show and one that deserves all the ratings.
7.
Burn Notice. With
30 Rock and
The Office, Thursday is a great night of TV again.
8.
The Late Show with David Letterman. Dave is always great, but he got involved in the election too and really shined.
9, Tina Fey as Sarah Palin. Sure, she may look like Palin, but that doesn't mean her impression would be automatic. Fey became a pop culture phenom this year.
10.
Whatever, Martha. Really odd idea for a show, but it works.

I think that in the most grossly general way, TV shows can be separated into three groups: the shows that get a ton of viewers and everyone knows about (
American Idol,
Two and a Half Men,
Lost, etc), shows that don't get quite as many viewers but are well-known anyway (
30 Rock,
Burn Notice,
Mad Men,
The Shield), and a third category of shows that are more niche. They're probably on cable or public television and may even be on at odd times. They have their fan base, but a lot of people probably don't even know they exist.
That's what this list is, the five shows that I've been enjoying lately, away from the more mainstream shows that I watch every week (
The Mentalist,
30 Rock,
Lost,
Mad Men,
Burn Notice,
Chuck,
Heroes,
The Simpsons,
60 Minutes). They're quirky, interesting, and they're probably shows you should check out too.

If you're
Alexis Stewart, daughter of domestic goddess
Martha Stewart; your childhood was weird. It's an unavoidable fact; no one could grow up around that much tulle and handmade, hand-stamped wrapping paper and escape without any lasting effects. Luckily, Alexis has been able to use this to her advantage. Along with her friend
Jennifer Koppelman Hutt, Alexis Stewart is mining her experiences growing up with Martha for her new show,
Whatever, Martha.
When I first heard about Whatever, Martha, I laughed. Seriously; it sounded like one of those ideas you come up with at three in the morning after downing a family sized bottle of Cabernet. Kind of an, "oh my God, I just had the best idea for a show: what if we sat around and watched old episodes of
Martha Stewart Living and tried to do the crafts while I talk about how screwed up my childhood was and how Martha always forgot my birthdays and stuff" kind of idea. Starting on September 16, that 3 am idea is going to become a reality -- and we have video.
