9 comments:

  1. - Most Underrated: Parenthood (I love Louie but at least that show is supported by critics, some fans, and has been getting some award recognition lately...so I chose Parenthood which consistently delivers. Louie is awesome, though :))
    Uhhg...A lot of underrated shows.
    Awkward., Southland, The League, Wilfred, Enlightened, Nikita,

    - Most Overrated: Modern Family (How I Met Your Mother still pulls off better episodes this late in the season then Modern Family has for the later 2 seasons)

    - Most Anticipated New Show of the 2012-2013 Season: Arrow (Revolution could also be good but it's too high concept. The talents involved could make it a good show.)

    Worst Returning Show: Dexter

    Worst Season Finale: Dexter

    Most Disappointing Season of a Previously Awesome Show: Dexter

    Worst New Show: Terra Nova (haha, I never watched Work It...)

    New Series with the Most Wasted Potential: Alcatraz (or Terra Nova)

    Most Annoying Teenage Character: Josh Shannon (Terra Nova)

    Best Competitive Reality Show: The Glee Project

    Favorite Animated Show: Archer

    Best cancelled 2011-2012 show: Awake

    Best Performance by an Inanimate Object - Big Carl the Wine Glass, Cougar Town

    Most Painful Series Cancellation: Awake

    Favorite Character: Chuck Bartowski (Chuck)

    Least Favorite Character: Joffrey Baratheon (Game of Thrones)

    Best scene-stealing supporting character: Schmidt (New Girl)

    Most Improved Show: New Girl (I mean it was already good but it's the only show on the list that has made the show something more. I would have probably chosen Person of Interest.)

    Best Bad Ass: Arya Stark (Major points for being a bad ass kid played by a very good young actress.)

    2. In those awards, they should REALLY let us pick three per category in the first round, since the first round has so many options.

      For most underrated, I was between Parenthood, Vampire Diaries, Southland, and Louie. I finally went with Louie because it took me so long to get into it, because I didn't hear as much buzz as on the other three, which I've been watching pretty much since their first seasons.

      Almost picked Modern Family for most overrated too, although I disagree that HIMYM had better episodes this year. Modern Family started out lame this season but brought it home in the second half. HIMYM was painful to me.

      And yeah, Revolution is totally getting cancelled, but I love high concept/like to see them try. One day we will get the next LOST. One day.

      Dexter really sucks now, doesn't it? The last two seasons have been "meh." Count yourself lucky that you never saw Work It. It was even worse than Terra Nova. I liked TN's pilot, but hated everything else with a passion. Schmidt was my second choice for scene stealer and my fourth choice for favorite character. Arya keeps on being bad ass in subsequent books :-)

      Yeah, there's something about that actress that just comes across as bratty and unsympathetic

    2. Sherlock is awesome! It's only 6 episodes (each episode is about an hour and 20 minutes or something) CHECK IT OUT! :D I thought Chuck had a mix of good episodes and okay episodes last season...and I was pretty satisfied with the finale. Dexter went from the awesome Season 4 to okay Season 5 to the mostly horrible Season 6...and I said this before season 6 aired and I'm going to say it again..I'm confident that next season will be a much better season than 5 and 6.

    3. Man, I really hope you are right. It was a really great show a short time ago.
