What were your top 5 TV shows of 2006?

Much like the top 5 movies, I don’t watch 5 TV shows regularly. But…here’s what I do watch:

  1. Studio 60 - I was so scared earlier in the year with talk of this show being canceled. It’s good because it’s not mindless humor and actually requires some thinking to get the jokes. I love it’s fast paced dialog and topical humor. Sometimes the political slant can get a little annoying, but it’s generally not so up front as to be largely noticable. I’m eagerly awaiting the resumption of new episodes in roughly…1 month. Sigh.
  2. Grey’s Anatomy – My Dad hooked me on this show in it’s first season and it just keeps getting better. It’s just fun to watch and see what happens to the main characters and how they deal with it. The medical stuff is also a bonus, but it’s less a show about the hospital aspect than it is about the people with a medical backdrop.
  3. Desperate Housewives – This show is very hit or miss for me. The first season was awesome, the second season was less so, and they seem to have gotten some of the first season feel back for this season. There’s a couple characters that I’m feeling they have no idea what to do with now that their main story arcs have completed. I think it would greatly help the show if some of these characters could be focused on less, allowing more time to be spent where all the action is happening. Maybe they’re going somewhere with it. Who knows?

I also caught a couple episodes of Six Degrees, but it seems like that show is on the verge of cancellation anyway, with it being pre-empted by Men in Trees.
