Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel. Still one of the best news shows I’ve ever seen. It can take a subject I have only a mild interest in—sports—and give a human quality to their subjects that is better than anything that can be made up. Pure brilliance and purely enthralling.
Terriers. This show was very well put-together, but I never really fell in love with it like I had hoped to. I’ll be happy with the one season we got—and I’ll probably pick it up on DVD if it’s ever released. But I am not aching to have a second season (even with the “cliffhanger” ending).
The Good Guys. I found this show to be much more hilarious than it probably was, but Bradley Whitford cracked me up every time he was on screen. One of the best characters I’ve seen on TV. And I loved the way the episodes moved forward and back through time to be brought full-circle by the end credits.
The League. Not a great show, but much better than the spotty first season. I really grew to looking forward to this show every Thursday. Some outrageous moments and some laugh-out-loud moments as well. Hopefully It’s Sunny in Philadelphia
The Soup. No show I watch is more snarky—or spotlights the blatant stupidity-- of reality/talk shows (and some “soap opera” moments on scripted shows). In a world where every entertainment “news” show basically hand-jobs these reality shows, The Soup is a breath of fresh reality. And it’s very witty, which is something I always enjoy.
