The Best and Worst of this TV Season, Part 2

In the second part of my series on the Best and Worst of this TV season, today I am talking about the best comedies that TV had to offer this season. In Part 1, I discussed the best dramas.

Best - Comedy

1. 30 Rock - This Emmy-winning comedy hasn't been quite as good this season as it was last year, but even at 75% this show is the funniest on the air. Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin are fantastic together. Great writing and a great supporting cast make this show worthy of the many awards that it has won.

2. The Office - Sometimes uncomfortable, but always hilarious, NBC's remake of the British series has truly become its own. The show is so quick witted and has such great comedic acting that it makes NBC's Thursday 9-10 block, along with 30 Rock, hearken back to the network's glory days of Must See TV.

3. Chuck - As readers of this blog already know, I have a soft spot for this show. NBC's action-comedy about an unlikely computer geek becoming a superspy never fails to entertain. A much underappreciated show that really should be getting more attention. For those who haven't seen it, think of a show that combines the action-adventure of 'Alias' and the quirkiness and humor of 'Ed.'

4. How I Met Your Mother - This era's version of 'Friends' is narrated by the future version of the character of Ted, with the voice of Bob Saget, supposedly from the year 2030. Telling his children the stories of how he came to meet their Mom and fall in love with her. Over the 4 seasons this show has been on, the cast has become one of TV's best ensembles. Neil Patrick Harris' character Barney could be the funniest character on television right now.

5. Entourage - Executive produced by Mark Wahlberg, this HBO series follows the day to day life of actor Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier), and his entourage in modern day Hollywood. Kevin Dillon as Vincent's brother Johnny is hilarious, but Emmy winner Jeremy Piven's superagent Ari Gold steals every scene he is in.

Next week we'll cover my picks for the worst in TV Drama this year.
