Ah television, my 2nd favorite way to waste my life. To say I watch a lot of TV would probably be the understatement of the century, so making these lists were actually quite difficult. Given this year’s lack luster list of returning comedies, I wanted to include new shows. But due to the immense volume of shows being considered, I had to bite the bullet and make 3 categories: drama, comedy, and new series.
