Top Ten T.V. Shows of '08

Last night was one of the best T.V. watching nights I've had in a long time. A monumental episode of Dexter, followed by the season finale of Entourage. They both helped me get over a heartbreaking defeat in fantasy football (It's ok the Kyle Orton Neckbeards will get their revenge in the playoffs). These shows got me thinking what are my favorite shows as of right now? Criteria: Has to have had new episodes in '08 no VH1 or MTV reality garbage. Anyways... who doesn't like a good top ten list?

10. 30 Rock


Honestly, the only reason i used to watch this show was because it was after The Office. After a couple episodes it kinda grew on me. Me and my roomate rented the 1st season, and the rest is history. Alec Baldwin and Tracy Morgan are absolutely hilarious in this show and it has made a good enough impression on me to crack my top ten list.

9. It's Always Sunny In Philidalphia

After hearing about it from most of my friends, i decide to give it a try. After watchig a few episodes i'm diggin' it. Every show I've seen is absolutey hilarious. Danny DeVito is rediculusly funny (I seriously think he shrinks a cm or two every year). I don't plan any night around watching it or anything, but overall a good one to put on the ol' DVR.

8&7. Colbert Report & Daily Show

These two go together like bacon and eggs, biscuits and gravy, cereal and milk, well pretty much any good breakfast duo. Starting at 10 & 10:30 these shows are a good weekday nightcap. Nice to watch when you're looking for your daily news fix with a splash....well...heavy dose of comedy. I'm gunna give the Daily Show the nod at #7 because Colbert's cocky ass pisses me off sometimes.

6. South Park


This has been one of my favorite shows since the days of Mr. Hankey the christmas poo. I would give my left nut to hang with Trey Parker and Matt Stone for a day. These guys keep it fresh every week, mixing current events with immature stupid humor. My Kinda show. duuuuuuur

5. Flight of the Conchords

Also my favorite New Zealand digi-folk band. This show is an absolute must see. I didn't really like the dry humor at first, but after a couple episodes it grows on you. The tunes are catchy, and these two mildy retarded guys work compliment each other like Jordan and Pippen.

4. Entourage

I know i said that I'd give my left nut to hang with the South Park Guys....well i guess I'd give my right nut to party with these guys. This show follows a famous actor and his posse, through the ups and downs of Hollywood. Even though the show stars Vicent Chase (the actor), it would be nothing without Arie Gold (the wired, stressball, huge egoed agent- played by Jeremy Pivin). The season ended yesterday with a twist and I the wait until next season is going to seem like forever.

3. Top Chef


This show caught my attention when they were in cooking tailgating food at a Chicago Bears game. I watched the whole show and now i know how it feels to take that first hit of meth......delicious!! Lucky for me there was a Top Chef marathon on that day. I usually hate on garbage reality T.V. so i guess this is my one guilty pleasure on this list. I don't know what it is about watching people cook good food, but this show is a must see ever Wednesday night.

2. The Office


I was hooked on this show from day one...ok before day one. I thought the british versoin of this show was even funier than this version, even though it only lasted 2 seasons. I love how awkward this show gets sometimes with Steve Carrell, but my favorte character is definately Creed Bratton, who literally plays himself, a burnt out ex member of the Grass Roots who can't seem to remember anything, is homeless, makes fake ID's for minors to gen erate a little extra cash flow.

1. Dexter

I literally lost sleep over this show last night. Words cannot describe what a masterpiece this show is. After renting the first 2 seasons, i was eagerly anticipating the 3rd season which started in September. It has been the best season of any show i have ever seen, with cliffhangers at the end of every episode. Dexter is a forensic blood spatter expert for the Miami Pliece Department, but in his spare time he is a serial killer who only kills people who slip through the cracks of our legal system. After watching a season or two, you will feel like you can get away with murder......Seriously
