world might be right now there will be
like much like how Smallville depicted a
teenage Clark Kent’s journey from man to
Superman
Gotham portrays Bruce Wayne’s transition
from scared orphan boy to Dark Knight hi
Bruce
hi of course the show is even more about
a young James Gordon and his partner
Harvey Bullock crossing paths with the
people who will evolve into the penguin
the Riddler
Catwoman and other classic Batman
baddies with interesting characters a
foreboding atmosphere and a corrupt
backdrop that almost feels alive Gotham
has the potential to become one of the
best comic book inspired shows of recent
times number 8 new girl she’s going out
to find rebound who’s that girl it’s
just wait did you just make up a theme
song for yourself everyone’s favorite
Manic Pixie dream girl Zooey Deschanel
brings her adorableness to network TV in
this sitcom beginning the series as a
recently cheated on mess searching for a
place to live what have you done
just days perky optimistic and in full
control of her quark factor gossin you
guys didn’t you lose in her your cousin
you doesn’t me cuz Jess what however new
girl relies not only on its star but
also on its stellar supporting cast
including the breakout character douchey
yet lovable Schmidt
ladies love Schmidt what what did you
just say go put a dollar in the jar
right now be serious yeah now in it
popular since day one and hailed as this
generations friends the show went
through a rough patch when Nick and Jess
got together according to many diehards
but hey a quick break up fixed that and
now new girls back to its offbeat
version of normal this is a school it’s
a sexy place Jess look at that CPR
poster it’s hot as crap what the
why aren’t they wearing shirts are they
drinking wine number seven how to get
away with murder
I told you if you just trusted me to
trust you do you
Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes as
producer and Oscar nominee Viola Davis
as star have been to major selling
points of the soapy legal drama how to
get away with murder Davis does indeed
dominate the small screen as Annalise
Keating
a criminal defense lawyer / university
professor who takes on several wide-eyed
protégées to work at her firm we throw
so much information at the jury that
they walk into the deliberation room
with one overwhelming feeling doubt
that’s how you get away with murder the
whole cast of mostly newcomers shines to
particularly Harry Potter’s Alfred Enoch
as Wes Gibbins I just want to make sure
you knew don’t ever talk them without a
lawyer yeah I know I’m not an idiot and
you’re not a lawyer while the cases of
the week are fun
it’s the overarching mystery regarding
an ELISA students connection to a future
murder that has us hooked admitting that
you killed Trish’s family and had my
client David Allen setup for her murder
that is enough number six Modern Family
they’re very strong homes ok nice nice
soft landing any show that wins the Emmy
for five consecutive years is bound to
receive some backlash from cynics
although it’s easy to deem what’s
popular as overpraised raining comedy
champ Modern Family absolutely deserves
every award it takes home what the hell
are you
I’m the ass-kicking clown that’ll twist
you like a balloon animal I will beat
your head against this bumper until the
airbags deploy so apologize to my
boyfriend right now smartly written
sharply directed and exceptionally timed
this sitcom continues to show no signs
of being any less funny or heartfelt
half-a-dozen seasons in you know honey
your dads are gonna love you just as
much when you get this brother trust me
let’s not forget the show’s diverse cast
of actors who play off each other so
perfectly it’s hard to believe they
aren’t a family in real life number 5
Criminal Minds Gideon I got a head shot
that’s it now take it we need him alive
of all the never-ending police
procedural dramas on TV Criminal Minds
continues to be the most consistently
entertaining even after over 10 seasons
they’re looking for a white male in his
20s who owns an american-made truck
disrepair works a menial job I told them
when you find him don’t be surprised to
hear him speak with a severe stutter the
FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit has given
us a number of enduring characters over
the years like AJ cooks Jennifer Jareau
Matthew Gray Gubler dr. Spencer Reid and
Kristen vans mrs. breakout favorite
Penelope Garcia one of the last things I
said before he shot me was everything
happens for a reason
Derek if I lose faith in that then
nothing in my life makes sense again no
you don’t every week offers a
fascinating new case and an even more
fascinating new psychopath or unsub for
our heroes to unravel thrilling
psychological and always there for you
Criminal Minds is an unlikely example of
comfort food what happened to you it
isn’t fair but what you’re doing to her
isn’t fair either and if anyone should
understand what that feels like it’s you
number four
Brooklyn nine-nine oh hello sir how are
you today I am detective right all the
time and this is my partner Detective
terrible detective just as scrubs found
comedy and doctors don’t look at me when
we movie someone Brooklyn nine-nine
finds a similar brand of over-the-top
humor in the lives of police officers
aside from the unique setting that lends
itself to a surprising number of comedic
possibilities I found it out Brooklyn
nine-nine really distinguishes itself
through its ensemble cast I’m in a state
of total euphoria clearly unlike most
sitcoms that continually pair the same
people together every week this show
isn’t afraid to explore new character
dynamics and try different things
there’s no shortage of great duo’s here
from Jake and Captain Holt to Hitchcock
and Scully to Boyle and Gina and this is
what I’m like now life is a pit
excuse me I don’t understand did you
already have a matrix get up at home for
some reason no Jeana I bought this with
the money I was going to spend on our
honeymoon to Cape Canaveral number three
the Big Bang Theory soft kitty warm
kitty little ball of fur renewed through
its 10th season The Big Bang Theory has
not only gotten funnier over time it’s
also demonstrated significant maturity
through the inclusion of characters like
Sheldon’s girlfriend Amy and Howard’s
wife Bernadette but even as the
characters grow the show’s never lost
what made it great to begin with it’s
hard and of course it’s nerd humor that
part there that’s just a joke it’s a
spoof of the born-oppenheimer
approximation the same could be said
about many fanboys who eventually grow
up but still enjoy comics video games
and star wars hey Benny
happy Star Wars day okay in that sense
maybe the Big Bang Theory is smarter and
wiser than any of us ever realized when
I take a picture of us and send it to
your old friends in the Chess Club I
sent them a bikini shot a few years ago
number two
The Good Wife hey you’re a powerfully
acted and brilliantly scripted The Good
Wife completely transcends every other
legal drama on TV today it’s a plastic
shopping bag it was a very windy night
that night and it blew across the lot at
11:00 for honor objection what does this
have to do with anything beats me but
I’m interested aren’t you mr. Browdy
Emmy winner julianna margulies gives the
best performance of her career as alicia
florrick
I just want you to be happy eventually a
woman who goes from wife of a shamed
politician to lawyer you don’t want to
screw with over the show’s run Alicia is
surrounded by superb supporting players
like the mysterious Kalinda Sharma and
the neurotic Eli gold
not to mention a slew of outstanding
recurring guest stars like Michael J Fox
is Lewis
we’re not here to settle we’re here to
destroy you just don’t get too attached
because the creators aren’t afraid to
kill characters off with a bang what
what do you mean before we change the
station to our top pick here are a few
honorable mentions does everything feel
normal
yes it feels fine you know I have to
finish this yeah in event
this man is going somewhere
I already know how you feel
I know what it’s like to hate to want
revenge
well looks like I’m the only one who’s
kissed a girl on this trip this is Duke
of awesomeness now number one
Hannibal with hellish imagery and
graphic gore hidden in atmospheric
shadows it’s kind of shocking that
Hannibal isn’t on a cable network said
his face to my dongs
Brian Fuller’s interpretation of
Hannibal Lecter is so sophisticated and
dark it could even pass for a movie the
aspic provides a three-dimensional
canvas in which one may stay to see the
eternal chase unlike most of the films
in the franchise however this show sees
Hannibal outside of a jail cell and in
the midst of his killing spree partaking
in unspeakable evil while also helping
the paranoid will Graham catch other
serial killers you and I just like
proper frame nothing about us to feel
horrible about the relationship between
Hannibal and will is equally captivating
and terrifying leading to a spellbinding
confrontation in the season two
conclusion that we’ll try not to spoil
I forgive you will
will you forgive me do you agree with
