Ed’s Top Ten Television Shows of Spring 2008

Here it is, my official Top Ten television shows of spring 2008 list:

1. Lost, Thurs.’s on ABC. The epic mythological/sci-fi/philosophical storyline is incredible.

2. The Big Bang Theory, Mon.’s on CBS. I’m glad this show is back, it’s easily the best new comedy on television.

3. Ghost Hunters, Wed.’s on Sci-Fi. Much better than it’s spinoff – Ghost Hunters International.

4. Two and a Half Men, Mon.’s on CBS. In an age of reality TV crap, you got to give props to the few good comedies.

5. The Simpsons, Sun.’s on Fox. Still great after almost 20 years.

6. South Park, Wed.’s on Comedy Central. Still offensive, still funny, still makes a point sometimes. The comedy Family Guy wishes it was. The past week’s episode was a tribute to the movie Heavy Metal, and is a classic episode.

7. Family Guy, Sun.’s on Fox. Hey it’s a good show, not quite as funny as South Park though.

8. Meet the Press, Sun.’s on NBC. In a sea of crappy political analysts like Lou Dobbs and Chris Matthews, Tim Russert is our life preserver of common sense and good commentary.

9. Top Chef, Wed.’s on Bravo. The one reality show that I do watch.

10. Chowder, on Cartoon Network. I’m including this show because it’s some of the most imaginative, creative, stylistic animation I’ve seen in a long time.

(note – some shows like The Office were left off the list because they haven’t had any new episodes even since the writer’s strike ended.)
