“Whoa, what fancy graphics,” you say, “it must be a special occasion!” Indeed it is. With so little to review, I’m taking an opportunity to write about my top 10 shows of 2007. This is not technically a list of my favorite shows – and it certainly is not a list of the best shows – it is just a rundown of the folks that bubbled up on my radar the most during 2007 and of why I love them so. Here are some factors that were taken into consideration when deciding this list…

-The Joy of watching
-Strength of the season(s) in question
-Buzz (huh?)
-Overall contribution to television and
-How briefly I let new episodes sit on my DVR

You will disagree, and at several points I’m sure I will too. But this is how I am choosing to remember the year in television. Check back tomorrow for the first of 10 daily installments.
