Here are, in my opinion, the top 5 television shows of this year.

  1. Boston Legal (ABC, Tuesdays @ 10:00)
  2. Battlestar Galactica (SciFi, Fridays @ 10:00)
  3. Veronica Mars (UPN, Wednesdays @ 9:00)
  4. Grey’s Anatomy (ABC, Sundays @ 10:00)
  5. Prison Break (FOX, Monday @ 9:00)

Honorable mentions:

  • Bones (FOX Wednesdays @ 8:00)
  • The 4400 (USA)
  • Doctor Who (BBC)

This post has been sitting in my drafts for a while now because I wanted to say something about each show. But they really share the same criteria that made ‘em Top 5 material: Excellent writing, fantastic performances and interesting characters. Saying that over and over again would just be repetitive.

Got a top 5 (or whatever) of your own? List them in the comments.

–edit–

The reasons Doctor Who is in the honorable mentions and not Top 5: It’s been… 6 months?… since the season ended so the memory has dimmed a bit. Also, I really liked Christopher Eccleston as The Doctor. His run only lasted this one season so I’m not sure if this new guy will measure up. Other than those reason, this latest incarnation of Doctor Who is easily Top 5 calibre.
