Best TV Shows of the Decade

My final list; the best TV shows of the decade.

Arrested Development -- This was a horrible sitcom, but a fantastic comedy; the reason it never got big is it's just too hard to watch the episodes without starting from the beginning.

The Office -- I was a huge fan of the original series, and had doubts about this one, but it really grew into it's own; today I wouldn't even compare the two shows.

The West Wing -- I'll just pretend like the last season never happened, because all the ones that came before it were great.

Curb Your Enthusiasm -- An r-rated Seinfeld. It can be hit or miss each episode, but when it's a good episode it's on par with Seinfeld. And that Seinfeld plot this year was wonderful.

30 Rock -- It took awhile, but this show has really grown on me.

Mad Men -- This show is slow, yes, but it's also very well written. After this seasons ending, I can't wait for next year.

Band of Brothers -- I had reservations about putting miniseries on this list, because they're more like movies than TV shows. Still, I couldn't resist putting this on the list. By far one of the best things I've ever seen on TV period.

The Clone Wars -- I felt a little weird watching a cartoon as an adult, but it was Star Wars after all; despite the occasional juvenile nature of the series, it has pretty complex themes, and is quite well written.

Firefly -- Why, oh why, did they cancel this show so soon? It had so much left too tell.

Dexer -- Thank you, Netflix, to introducing me to this series.

Sit Down, Shut Up

I just read a very short EW post about the new Fox animated series, Sit Down, Shut Up! It's from one of the creators of Arrested Development, Mitch Hurwitz, and features voices from Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, and Henry Winkler. I'm sold on the show just because Hurwitz is attached, and judging from the short clip up on YouTube, it won't disappointed...

For those of you who missed it or don't live in the SoCal area, below is the interview I did for KDOC TV. Yes I look stiff, but that's what tends to happen when you have two rods in your back...

The Obsolete Man

Step in the Twilight Zone for an oldie but goodie about a librarian in a world that finds no need for such a thing. Thanks to Mark for sharing...

Librarian TV

As if having a made-for-TV action movie isn't enough, now librarians have their very own sitcom. Austrailia will begin airing a television comedy about a library. From the looks of the preview below, it looks like The Office set in a library.
