Best of Summer TV: Sense8 Takes Top Honors

Summer has come and passed…and as such it’s time to hand out some awards! This summer has been an interesting mixed bag of TV, with some incredibly high highs and one amazingly low low. All in all, I’m happy with the TV I watched. Anyways here are my Summer TV awards!

If I Had an Emmy Ballot: Best of 2014-2015 TV Season

It’s probably not bold to say, but TV has firmly taken over the conversation. This isn’t to say movies are completely out of the equation, but the stuff happening on television is much more interesting and fun to talk about. Now that Emmy ballots have gone out, I decided to give my final take on the year from June 1, 2014 to May 31, 2015.

2014 in Review: Top 10 (New and Returning) TV Shows

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.

The Summer TV Awards

We have had perhaps one of the most diverse slates of TV shows this summer, but what was noteworthy? I try and reason the best of Summer TV.

So I Might Have a TV Problem…What Are You Watching this Summer?

It’s no surprise to the folks who have followed me on any social network or website I’ve contributed to that I watch a lot of television. As a stickler for end of the year lists and the such, I decided this year to keep a running list of the TV shows I watch and I
