Not alot shows were really successful this year. If they were, nobody really watched them or they really sucked. On this list, some people have watched these shows, while some haven’t. First I would like to list the shows that barely missed the list.
Honorable Mention:
Arrested Development – It’s a great show. I like the fact that there family is such a mess. That is what makes it comedy.
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia – FX put out two comedys out this summer. This one managed to get a second season. It was about four friends that own a bar. Somehow, their lifes just suck.
Over There – This show was also on FX. It was about the war on Iraq. Great writing and great characters. Its a shame that there wont be a second season.
Bones – Consider this a low budget CSI for Fox. Great characters and I like how it is based off a real person.
Stella – It was great to see MIB in something that had nothing to do with a decade. Smart comedy is all I have to say.
Now on to the list…
Number 5: Everybody Hates Chris - Chris Rock took a Wonder Years type idea and formed it into something new. Who would have known that Chris Rock’s life was actually that funny. Chris as a narriator works great too. It seems like that nobody can miss a punch line in this show, which makes it great for everybody.
Number 4: Stankervision - MTV2 took a sketch show and made it funny again. There is no live audience or introductions. Plus a clown that likes to make people look like shit on camera is great too.
Number 3: The Office – Normally a show based off the same show in another country is a piece of shit. Yet somehow NBC has made this show work. You got some of the funniest actors on TV and there is also great plot lines that advance the storylines even though you dont even notice it.
Number 2: Masters of Horror - I like Horror movies. Yet movies now are rated PG-13 and aren’t really scary at all. With this show, you have classic Horror movie directors and direct a great story. This really brings back the rated R type horror movies, even though that this is just a series.
Number 1: My Name is Earl - This is a great comedy. You take an idea that is so simple and make it funny. A made does wrongs, and finally wants to make life right. You want to root for Earl, yet want to see him fail just for your pure enjoyment. This is something that is needed for every show.
