If you had told me a year ago that the top three shows on my "Best of" list would be on NBC, I would have said you were crazy. Then I would have asked you how you knew this. Are you psychic? Can you see into the future? You're the devil I say, the devil!
But that's what happened. Below is my list for the 5 best shows of the year and the 5 worst, along with various odd and ends. Yeah, let me have it in the comments about what I got wrong.
Update: After a few days of thinking about it, I've changed one of my "worst" picks. I'm sure you'll see why.
Best:5.
The Backyardigans A preschoolers' show I'd watch
if I didn't have kids. Yes, when you drove past my house the other day, that was me dancing along to "I love being
a princess!"
4.
Law & Order: Criminal Intent I thought I couldn't watch
the show without Vincent D'Onofrio. But Chris Noth and Annabelle Sciora have the kind of vulnerable-yet-professional
chemistry that I never dreamed possible between Chris and Sarah Jessica Parker or Annabelle and James Gandolfini.
3.
Grey's Anatomy It's kooky, it's outlandish, and all the characters, I can't help
but love 'em despite their annoying peccadilloes. And who knew I'd fall in love with Dr. Bailey?
2.
Medium I'd watch it just for the family drama. But the mysteries are fantastic, the
writing eloquent and witty, the twists always fool me until 52 past the hour.
1.
The
4400 Sci fi that transports, characters that draw me in, and it's coming back in 2006. Hurray!
Worst:5.
Saturday Night Live My husband still gets
excited about Saturday nights. Until I remind him,
honey, it's just not funny!4.
ER I'm so sad that I hate Thursdays now. I used to
love Thursdays.
3.
7:30 p.m. timeslot There's nothing good on at 7:30 p.m., not
even on the Food Network. I hate 7:30 p.m.
2.
Sandra Lee's Semi-homemade Cooking
Make it from scratch or buy it from the store. And either way, aren't we all old enough now to admit whether we can, or
cannot, cook?
