If I’m not mistaken, your face is looking a lot like this right about now. “No posts in weeks, and he’s returning with five solid days of reality coverage and reviews?” I know, I know, it seems like a dumb idea considering all of our scripted friends are finally up and running, post-strike. But this […]

I have evangelized this show (often ineloquently) till I’ve been blue in the fingers. Accusations of a sophomore slump, dummying down and pandering to demographics have all fallen on my deaf ears. Friday Night Lights was the show of 2007 here at Mikey Likes TV.
For the wayward Ghost Whisperer fan whose found their […]

Had last season’s allusions to the American occupation of Iraq and that “duh” moment of realization that the cylons are, in fact, no worse than the old US of A actually fallen in ‘07… Battlestar Galactica would have most certainly nabbed the number one spot. The beginning of last season was one of the […]

My crash course in Lost last summer probably makes my perspective on the show a unique one. While most of you toiled and questioned the show’s numerous “wtf?”s for over three years, I watched all 70 episodes in a third as many days. Lost currently ranks high on my list of favorites. […]

Veronica was my girl. I’ve written enough postmortems to prove it. For three seasons, she was more or less my reason for watching TV. The show’s cancellation was the ultimate lowlight of 2007, so it’d be wrong not to acknowledge that tragedy one more time as I look back at the year. […]

Pushing Daisies… oh, Pushing Daisies. I can honestly say that I was never more excited about a new show in my life. All summer long I watched and rewatched the pilot, went to public screenings and Q&As and never once thought that the rest of the series wouldn’t live up to my […]

The sophomore season of Big Love proved that its more than just a sophisticated, Mormon update of soapy family dramas like Dallas or Dynasty, it’s a showcase for some of the best acting on television. Bill Paxton continues to be the only one of the ensemble to garner formal attention for his efforts - […]

I’m not going to pretend to know exactly what David Chase intended to convey with the final scene of The Sopranos, and I’m certainly not interested in spending 10,000 words making biblical references. Onion rings and transubstantiation? Zzzzzzzzzz… For the people not too consumed with arbitrary rage over what they see as insufficient closure, […]

No other event of 2007 worked its way into my subconscious, my lexicon or my daily interactions like the first season of Flight of the Conchords. This might be because nothing else was funnier, more engaging or oddly relevant to my own life. After all, Conchords isn’t so much a musical sitcom as it […]

Since I experienced both the first and second seasons of Dexter in 2007 (and in the same three-month period leading up to this list), it seemed impossible to leave it off.  I feel kind of dirty about my bandwagoning considering how long it took me to jump on board.  My general (and waning) skepticism of […]
