Written by Yes I know that I have not posted much in the last year and I could say that that is going to change but I wont make that promise. To stat the year right it is the return of my favourite blog topic the best of lists. I still have a couple of movies to watch before that list will be done so check back soon. For now here is the list for my favourite TV shows of 2009.
Best TV Of 2009 Top 10:
10) Fringe – almost exactly like the X Files but with direction. The show does start a little slow but as the series progresses the mysteries start to weave together to form something pretty great. I expect this show to inch higher up this list every year.
9) Community – my favourite new show of the last year is a comedy about a group of students at a community collage. The show has some amazing characters including one played by the amazing Chevy Chase.
8 ) Chuck – even if some of episodes are starting to get repetitive it is the brilliant characters that keep things funny and enjoyable. Plus sexy, cant forget sexy.
7) True Blood – I Love that the scope of the world is so much bigger then the first season. I did not think I could love a story about vampires this much but I do.Â
6) Dexter – This show has never made my list before but that all changed this last season with the introduction of John Lithgow playing the trinity killer. This is easily the best season of the show and the actors are much deserving of their golden globe wins.
5) It Always Sunny In Philadelphia – Still one of the funniest shows on TV, well if you are in to that sort of thing. Don’t forget to check out there Christmas special ‘A Very Sunny Christmas’ where I think they do one of there worst things ever. Hint it involves a mall Santa.
4) How I Met Your Mother – before 2009 I had only caught one or two episodes of this comedy, but under great pressure from my friends I decided to give it a try. I don’t usually go for shows with laugh tracks but this ones different. Because the show is told in past tense it can take a lot of liberties on how a sitcom is structured. Plus it has NPH which is a automatic plus in my books.
3) 24 – Coming back from a one year break the show is better then ever. Plus Rena (or female Jack Bauer as I like to call her) is amazing. Is it just me or is there some serious sexual tension between her and Jack.
2) Battlestar Galactica – I was a little put off by the series finally of this great show and did not want to rank it as high as I did. But then I remembered that the last season did include the amazing civil war arc (the true climax of the series). Plus ‘The Plan’ was so amazing, a great ending for a great show.
1) Lost – If they don’t screw up the ending like they did with Battlestar this could be one of the greatest shows of all time. I know season 2 was slow but fight through, it is so worth it. Lost keeps the pressure on and does not let off.
