I don’t normally do a Top 10 anything at the end of the year.  Mainly because my lists resemble so much of what’s scattered around the web and a lot of these lists can be redundant, which makes it kind of pointless in my eyes.  However, it was a pretty good year for television and there were quite a few things that I was very pleased with.  As well as a couple of things I wasn’t.  Since the world didn’t end on the 21st like the Mayans predicted, I figured why not go against my own grain a bit, and jot down my top 10 TV hits…..and the two misses.  Yes, these are ranked in the appropriate order according to the world of me.
