Despite the million and one cancellations, the 2012-2013 TV season was pretty spectacular. Next week are the Emmy nominations and you’ll be able to see my fake Emmy ballot next week, but I thought we were due for a bit more introspection regarding the TV season. So now, without further ado, here are the top 10 moments from the past year in TV!
Summer is almost upon us which means that all of the fall and spring shows have ended or are ending soon and a new crop of shows is ready to take it’s place (like Teen Wolf and True Blood). Looking back on the season, not much really stood out in terms of appointment TV. Many returning shows like Revenge tried to expand too widely while new shows like The Mindy Project were very uneven. This all led to a Fall/Spring season that while enjoyable, was rarely the remarkable thing we expect from TV these days. But luckily there were some shows that managed to stay above the fray. Peep my top 10 from the Fall/Spring season!
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.
