Best New Show, Worst Old and Everything In Between

Now that the new television season is a couple of weeks old, I will give my summation of the best and worst that has been offered.

Best New Show: I was pleasantly surprised by Pushing Daisies. This show will not be for everyone, but if you can tolerate the quirky, you should check it out. The show revolves around Ned, a pie maker that has a very unique talent that allows him to awaken the dead. However, this ability comes with a couple of twists. Once Ned brings someone back to life, another person in close proximity dies. Also, Ned can never touch the person or thing again after he revives them because the second touch will kill the person or thing. In addition to the show having a unique plot, it is visually stunning. I don't want to say a whole lot more right now, because I hope you watch the show.

Best Old Show: Brothers & Sisters. Before you pile on me for watching this show, hear me out. This is the best adult drama on television. Although the Walker family live a lifestyle that is out of most people's means, they have normal problems. Yes, there are some exaggerations, but the acting and writing are both top notch. This hour is well worth your time.

Worst New show: Since I really have new opinion on a poor new show, I will choose a show that aired over the summer: The Two Coreys. I have no idea why this show was even made, I just regret that I got stuck watching an episode.

Worst Old Show: This will come as no surprise, but it is Grey's Anatomy. I don't mean to pile on this attempt at entertainment, but I just don't understand the appeal of this show. Once again, I know I am a fan of Nip/Tuck, but if you watch it, you know that the writers never try to make it seem that the relationships on Nip/Tuck are based in any sort of realistic version of life. The folks over at on Grey's think that they are representing adult relationships, which I wholeheartedly disagree. Each week the characters seem more whinny and petty and it gets very irritating.

Everything In Between: Everyone knows that we watch too much tv, so I will keep this short. We have enjoyed Back to You, BONES, and of course The Office. The Office is consistently the funniest show on television and I suggest that everyone start watching it. Yes, I know I have a dry sense of humor, but this show is laugh out loud funny. I have also really enjoyed The Bionic Woman. There is a lot for the writers to work with, so I'm excited to see the direction they head toward. Well, that's it, so enjoy your watching!!
