RANDOM THOUGHTS:
The following were on my mind between Thursday, December 10th and Monday, December 14th:
- My updated TV top ten shows:
10. "The Simpsons" (down from #5, position previously held by "The Colbert Report")
9. "Modern Family" (down from #7, position previously held by "30 Rock")
8. "Mad Men" (down from #4, position previously held by "American Dad")
7. "American Dad" (up from #7, position previously held by "Modern Family")
6. "Community" (position previously held by "Curb Your Enthusiasm")
5. "Parks and Recreations" (position previously held by "The Simpsons")
4. "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" (position previously held by "Mad Men")
3. "South Park" (down from #2, position previously held by "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart)
2. "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" (up from #3, position previously held by "South Park")
1. The Office (US) (still #1)
Up from Last List (October 2009): American Dad, Community, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart
Down from Last List (October 2009): The Colbert Report, 30 Rock, The Simpsons, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Modern Family, Mad Men, South Park
New from Last List (October 2009): Community, Parks and Recreations, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Just Barely Made the List: Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Colbert Report, 30 Rock, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Fringe, House, Chuck, Arrested Development
Other notes:
a. "Mad Men" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" went down because their season ended in November. "South Park" has just too many repeats per week to make them drop significantly?
b. "Chuck" and "Breaking Bad" are premiering in early 2010, and "Arrested Development" is on weekly reruns, so expect them on the next list.
c. "30 Rock" has just fallen way down for me, " and "Modern Family" might end up just like them if they don't improve immediately.
d. "The Simpsons" will always be on my list, no matter how much they suck.
e. Can someone please step up and knock "The Office" from the list? At this point, it's not even that competitive.
- Call me crazy, but I think the fans of the University of Montana's football team after they won and advanced to the NCAA Div. 1-FCS championship was one of the best moments of the year in sports. There's just something about seeing that crowd and the fact that it's the only thing the school can cheer for these days that made me happy watching it.
- How come it's always the classrooms next to mine that are the ones watching a movie or appears to have a great time? Personally, I just find it unfair.
- Yay for "The Hurt Locker"! Winners of the AFI, L.A. Film Critics Assoc. and the Boston Film Critics "Best Picture/Drama" award! Sorry "Fantastic Mr. Fox," but this is still my favorite critically aclaimed movie of the year (though I have yet to see "Up in the Air").
- What's with Bill Simmons making these two part columns on the same day? What is he, or ESPN.com for that matter, trying to do? Are they trying to make it look likes Simmons doesn't write only one column a week, (which he does these days) or are they just too lazy to force him to have his deadline on Thursday, and if it is pretty long, then put it up in two separate days?
- "The Office" and "Cheers" both have the best theme songs for any scripted show in television history. It shouldn't even be a discussion.
More random thoughts to come this Thursday!
