Top 5 TV Shows this year:

5. What about Brian? - Barry Watson is back after playing Matt on 7th Heaven. This show is actually really good and has some real issues dealing within the script such as grief and marital problems. Not bad for a drama involving Barry.

4. 24 - The show hasn't started yet and won't until the new year, but the thought of Jack Bauer back on TV makes the list.

3. Prison Break - If you haven't watched this show, get the first season and watch it. The second season is on now and it's pretty involved, which sucks for first time viewers. Incredible plot and twists that has you on edge for about 50 minutes of the entire show. I had to remember to breathe during last episode.

2. Studio 60 - The smartest comedy I've seen in a long time plus tackles issues such as homosexuality and gay marriage in a pretty decent way. Harriet, one of the shows main characters is a Christian but NBC doesn't give her that Christian stereotype that every other comedy has to in order to be funny. Very smart, very funny, but it's going to get canceled because for 2/3 of Americans it's too smart for them to get. Excellent, just like Arrested Development. Way to go you educated humorists.

1. The Office - Hands down the best show on television and it's only 30 minutes long. If you haven't watched it, I don't know what you're doing. It's simply the funnies, most awkward moments all caught in a series of outstanding film work and editing, plus great acting by virtual no-namers. Here's one of the funniest things I've seen in a while:
