I will one-up your "one of" and say that Friday Night Lights S1 is my #1, uncontested, favorite TV season of all time. It's like a ten-plus-way tie for second place, but FNL S1 stands alone on top of the pile.

Two one-season, 13-episode cartoons that I love and enthusiastically recommend:

2 years down, 98 to go.

Look at Arrow, getting more comments on AV Club than Agents of SHIELD… I'm so very proud of our little show…

I still like the show, but I'll admit letting out a long sigh when they announced its final season will be stretched out across this year and next year. I was kind of ready for it to wrap up.

Just sticking with the medium of TV and TV that is on now for simplicity's sake:

Since this article mentions it, I figure now's the time to chime in that I think Banshee is one of the best shows that the AV Club isn't covering on a weekly basis. It's totally bringing it with awesome fight choreography and fast pacing and likable heroes and villains and generally satisfying completely on what it…

That's ironic, because the first four seasons were run by Republican Joel Surnow, and the next four - including the ones you highlight as extra right-wing - by Democrat Howard Gordon.

1. It's been said many times, but damn does this show bring it in the cinematography and choreography of its fight and action sequences. That motorcycle vs van chase was just some real badass shit, and I loved the Nyssa fight sequences. I find the show's lighting and use of color to be frequently superb too. If it…

I very strongly doubt that Arrow's openly gay showrunner Greg Berlanti is trying to insert heterosexual supremacy messages into his show.

Arrow and Hannibal are pretty neck and neck for my "best drama on network TV" crown at the moment. I put Hannibal a few spots higher on my favorite shows of 2013 list, but Arrow is bringing some fierce competition. And actually, with the only two dramas I put above Hannibal in my favorite shows of 2013 list - Breaking…

Eh, ya know, the Skywalker twins made out in front of Leia's future husband. Pretty mainstream genre fiction out-grosses Arrow no sweat.

The movie listed above that I'm most curious to see is Veronica Mars, which makes it extremely frustrating that, according to the list of theaters it's going to be in released a few days ago, I'll have to make a 5-hours-each-way road trip to see it. Which I'm probably not gonna do (unless VM fans declare it an A+++…

Oh, what I wouldn't give. I want to see Harmon get to do another Halloween episode and Christmas episode.

Justin Lin also indicated in this interview from last year a willingness to come back for another Community episode if his schedule permits: http://www.denofgeek.com/mo…

I know this is supposedly a miniseries (or "event series," or whatever), but if it's a ratings success I wonder if Fox will just go ahead and renew it and bring 24 back as a full-on multi-season series once again. They don't exactly have many dramas lighting the ratings world on fire, so if 24:LAD can hit a 2.0 in the…

Yeah, that guitar serenade was like some horror movie shit.

Not looking forward to the third goddamn go-around on the "Daphne dates a coworker and it goes badly" plot.

She probably will be a star; reportedly she was the runner-up for the lead in the new Terminator movie, which means studios are eyeing her for star roles. She'll probably be cast in something big by the end of the year.

I wish it was higher… but at the same time I suppose I'm glad it's not lower. The show dipped to a 1.0 last season and was renewed, and this season has steady 1.1s plus is well-liked by fans and critics again, so that SHOULD be a renewal, I think.
