Best of the Best '06

Published:

Last column of the year, which means it's Top 10 time. As discussed last week, I decided to spread the wealth with two lists, one for returning shows, one for 2006 rookies. The lists:

Returning Shows
  • "The Wire"
  • "The Shield"
  • "The Office"
  • "Battlestar Galactica"
  • "Deadwood"
  • "The Sopranos"
  • "How I Met Your Mother"
  • "The O.C." (season four only)
  • "24"
  • A tie between "Scrubs," "House" and "Grey's Anatomy"
New shows
  • "Friday Night Lights"
  • "Dexter"
  • Stephen Colbert at the White House correspondents dinner
  • "30 Rock"
  • A tie between "Country Boys" and "When the Levees Broke"
  • "Doctor Who"
  • "Heroes"
  • "Kidnapped"
  • "Broken Trail"
  • "The Loop"
