I don't want a male companion if we still have a male Doctor. There's plenty of sausagefests on TV, Doctor Who doesn't need to be one of them. A companion who is something other than a cute white girl from 21st century UK would be nice though.

So The Chris Gethard Show might be coming to cable, meaning anyone who's ignoring it gets to stop doing so soon!
North Korea makes ridiculous anti-American propaganda films every day and no one gives a shit.
Ludachristmas is funnier but Christmas Special is 30 Rock's true "Christmas episode" to me in that it evokes all of the warm and fuzzy feelings that a Christmas episodes is supposed to (while still being fucking hilarious).
I love Regional Holiday Music, but Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas should've been the entry on this list. It's a goddamn Christmas classic.
I mean, since Up there's only been one original (Brave) and while it wasn't Pixar's best I didn't think it was *bad*. I'm still holding out some hope, although obviously their golden era was something special and we may never get that consistency again.
Yeah all of these "what happened to TV comedy?!" thinkpieces seem to completely miss how many great cable comedies there are. I don't care what the networks are churning out as long as I'm still getting Broad City, You're the Worst, Veep, ect.
Looking back, it was just a sign of things to come.
Well, those four shows were never part of an entire block together. Everyone loved Seinfeld but did everyone love Madman of the People?
2010 - 2011 was a particularly glorious year. The best seasons of Community and Parks & Rec, a rebound season for 30 Rock and The Office's farewell season to Michael Scott. It was magical, even with the existence of Outsourced.
No.
Broad City was my favorite show of the year, so.
That… makes no sense. You don't know the placement of the shows until you click the article so how is the placement of the shows contributing to whether or not people click?
TCGS is amazing but I always forget to include it on my lists because it feels so different than anything else on TV. Regardless, SmithGate was definitely the most gripping piece of TV I've seen this year.
I think Fargo is really good but I'm not really on board the "best drama of the year" narrative that has surrounded it. The ending was really disappointing and sort of boxed the show into the "typical anti-hero show" category for me. It was a typical anti-hero story done really, really well but there was still nothing…
Fort Night aired in 2013.
It's my #1 too. No need to be ashamed. It was amazing comedy.
Parks & Rec won't be in the top 10. It's a great, beloved show but its 2014 output was not very memorable other than the finale. Homeland is too divisive and I don't think Silicon Valley will be there either, I expect Transparent to take its place.
It's especially notable for shows that had runs cross over from pre-smartphone era to post-smartphone era. Like, comparing the early seasons of 30 Rock and The Office to the later ones in terms of technology is almost overwhelming.
This is, generally, a really good list. Some oversights for sure, but way less than most lists, and it's refreshingly open to a wide variety of genres.
