So with the 2008-09 season winding down, I will be offering my picks for the best and worst TV had to offer this season. Today we will do the best in drama.Best - Drama
1. Lost - No other show consistently makes you think as much as Lost does. As soon as each episode is over, I can't wait for the next one. By far, the best acting on TV is on this show.
2. 24 - 24 rebounded this year with a (so far) great season. New characters and a great new story have revitalized the show. I'm not so crazy about the President, but it's a small price to pay. The Jack Bauer Power Hour is back in full force.
3. The Shield - After 7 seasons this iconic show said farewell this season, and TV will not be the same without it. This show, since it's shocking debut in 2002, always pushed the envelope. From the moment Vic Mackey killed a fellow cop in the pilot episode, you couldn't turn away. This one will be missed.
4. House - Hugh Laurie's Greg House is, in my opinion, one of TV's all time great characters. House continues to deliver top notch medical mysteries and great writing week after week.
5. Mad Men - Set in the 1960's advertising world, AMC's drama really hit it's stride this year. Jon Hamm's Don Draper and his struggles to stay ahead of the the much younger competition have become must see TV.
Next week I will cover my best comedies of the TV season.
