If I Had an Emmy Ballot…the Best of the 2013-2014 TV Season

Have you all had a chance to check out the Emmy ballots? You should have by now consdering they were released last week 🙂 Anyways, it has come time to discuss the best of TV in the 2013-2014 season, as my summer loves True Blood and Teen Wolf are going to start the new season off this coming week. When I think about what the 2013-2014 season gave to us, it’s pretty clear that the year was one of the broadest ranges of television viewers had to choose from. I think that I watched a grand total of 25 TV shows this year in their entirety (be that 22 or less episodes) which meant narrowing down the fields took forever. There are several shows such as The Good Wife or Veep that coasted to easy wins in their categories, but just as many areas that I had to really think about the choices. Category fraud also came into some play because though the Emmys might see it one way (ALL the maids in Devious Maids are lead?! True Detective as a drama series?) I was left with spaces to fill and harsh decisions to make.

TV on Tap: 1/5-1/11

This is a big week for television in that so many of the best shows on TV and the ones with the biggest fantoms return to grace our screen and take over our lives. I am happy that The Good Wife, Teen Wolf, and Being Mary Jane will be back. Here’s a list of the big premieres that are happening this week.

Ah television, the (almost) love of my life. I have spent so much time over the course of my years watching television and this year was no exception. Making this post however was actually quite a struggle given that I’ve actually shaved down the amount of TV I watch since I got to grad school. That and the fact that during the summer, there was only one show worth watching (The Fall) and I caught that way back in May. Anyways, I did manage to come up with a Top 10 TV shows of the season so far list that doesn’t suck so here it is.

Top 10 Returning and New TV Shows I’m Excited For This Fall

Fall is a busy time for most people, but especially those who are invested in film and tv shows such as I. Hope springs eternally for the TV networks as they bring back their ratings hits and try and introduce new TV shows, hoping they will be hits as well. I took a gander at the 59+ show slate of fall premieres and decided to pick 10 new and returning tv shows that I’d be most excited to watch. Here’s the list!

If I Had an Emmy Ballot…The Best of 2012-2013 TV

Television has certainly been in a golden age, with every matter of show and network stepping up their game to present complicated characters, interesting situations and dazzling visual work. The Emmy nominations are set to be announced tomorrow and many of the same shows that we know and love will show up. But instead of doing predictions, I thought it would be more fun to envision what I would vote for if I had an Emmy ballot. This is based on shows/tv movies/miniseries that ran from June 1,2012-May 31st 2013 to comply with the Emmy calendar. Check out my sample ballot!
