Every year it seems that we all say that it’s the best year for television. 2016 however, seems to have taken the cake for the most wide ranging year in television. Seems like the peak TV era will continue if this year is anything to go by. There’s just so much content now that you
It has certainly been a crazy year in TV has it not? There have been so many shows and so little time that its no surprise this will be one of the most competitive Emmy races in recent memory. It was very difficult for me to narrow down all of the shows and movies that
One of the things I most look forward to during the various awards seasons are the roundtables put on by The Hollywood Reporter. Though they are always more interesting in their print form (the videos are often hosted by writers I don’t like), they provide immensely interesting discussion points and analysis from the folks in the industry. The newly released piece that brought together many show runners was a wonderful inside baseball look into the tv world particularly when it comes to race.
We have certainly been in a golden age of television, enough that I was able to make two top 10 lists from 2014’s TV offerings. I mean this might just be because I seemed to have watched about 90% of the TV shows that were put on the tube, but more so that 2014 just seemed to be a particularly great year for TV.As I was putting the list together, I had to make some hard decisions. The first of which was how would would I rank the shows that I had watched recently, cause in the past few days I’ve been making a mad dash (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., The Affair, Outlander, Jane the Virgin were all finished within a day of me writing this) vs. the shows that have ended or were cancelled (Enlisted *cries*). Another consideration was whether to split these into two lists, which was easy to figure out and it was super easy to not include several shows that people always accuse me of liking more than I do. So what did I finally come up with? Well out of the shows that were chosen 6 out of the 20 shows are comedies, 14 of the 20 shows have a female lead character, there’s four horror shows, and The Good Wife reigned supreme for the second year running. Anyways here’s my top 10 new and returning TV shows.
We’ve finally reached the end of the road, time to put up or shut up, insert other cliche here. The Emmy Awards are set to take place this coming Monday and having basically analyzed all of the races via my Emmy Chatter series, it’s time to unveil my final predictions.
