Can’t believe a year went by so fast…
Wow. The past 12 months have flown by. Who remembers last year at this time when my first two columns with thetvaddict.com were all about the upfronts and summer TV and trying to avoid the waiting between a really good 2005-2006 season and what I hoped would be a really good 2006-2007 season? Seems like just yesterday I was anxiously awaiting the new fall shows (Jericho and Friday Night Lights were mere glimmers in the distant future at that point), and I couldn’t wait to find out what was in that damn briefcase on Veronica Mars!
Cut to May, 2007. I’m here, trying to recover from a rocky week of Upfronts filled with amazing pickups (Friday Night Lights is seriously one of the very best shows ever made and the fact that I’ll get to see Kenneth the page on a week to week basis next year on 30 Rock makes me very, very happy) and gut wrenching cancellations (I’ll miss you Veronica Mars and seriously, how can we go on without closure to that Jericho story [more on Jericho if you read all the way through]).
What better time than now to talk about my favorite shows from this season and what shows need to do better next year if they intend to keep me as a viewer!
FAVORITES
Bones – I really thought that this show hit its stride this season and worked as a really seamless ensemble comedy/drama about the inner workings of a forensic anthropologist, her team, and her FBI agent. The cast chemistry is phenomenal, and I honestly cannot wait to see what happens next year!
