The Best (and Worst) Shows of 2007


THE BEST
1. 30 Rock
No show was more consistent this year than NBC’s low-rated Tina Fey/Alec Baldwin darling. 30 Rock won the Emmy for best comedy this year, beating out the more deserving The Office, which had a superb third season. But once you factor in the new season, 30 Rock reigns supreme. [...]

The Day the Laughter Died


This week saw the best comedies on TV bow out. South Park, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia all ending their respective seasons, while The Office aired its last completed episode.

LOST in Television


I have found a slew of new offerings on television in the three weeks since the fall season got underway. But tonight, television’s best show returns. And no, I am NOT talking about the Bauer Power Hour; 24 doesn’t return until January. And yes, I will shower the interweb with abundantly annoying [...]

24 Leads Emmy Nods


Topping off a creative, yet uneven season, Fox’s 24 scored 12 Emmy nominations, more than any other nominated series. ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy scored 11 nods (yawn). In addition to the best drama nod, Kiefer Sutherland was nominated again for best actor; while Gregory Itzin and Jean Smart were both nominated for their roles as [...]
