I wanted to like it and maybe I am being unfair because the show sounded like a winner but its just turned out to be IMO another procedural and I find the lead actor very blah and uncharismatic. I guess its not bad but its been the most disappointing to me based on my expectations.

Best Show (overall) - NCIS, Fringe

Worst show (overall) - Terra Nova (I tried to give it a chance despite being bored by Jason O'Mara in Life On Mars but he still bores me silly and the rest of the show just wasn't doing it for me either)

Best Drama: - NCIS, Fringe

Worst Drama - The Mentalist --it's become formulaic and repetitive

Best Sitcom - I don't watch any current sitcoms

Worst sitcom - ditto

Best reality show -Biggest Loser (despite this past season being one of my least favorites) and The Amazing Race

Worst reality show - can't think of any that bad that I'm still watching!

Best new show - Unforgettable

Worst new show - Terra Nova and that one with Noah Wylie and the "skitters" (I've already forgotten the name of it)

Best actor - John Noble

Worst actor - Jason O'Mara (zzzzzzz)

Best new actor (to you) of the year - well...one new show I really like is Unforgettable and since Poppy isn't new to me I'll go with Dylan Walsh as I never really saw him in anything before

Favorite reality show personality - Phil Keoghan

Least favorite reality show personality - Brooke Boobs Charvet

Best scene (on drama or sitcom) - not just one scene but I'd go with Jim Beaver's tour de force performance on Supernatural after Bobby was shot

Worst scene (on drama or sitcom) - ???

Best reality show moment - JR wins DWTS

Worst reality show moment - Nancy Grace bitching her way through DWTS (pick any moment)

Most improved show - NCIS & Fringe --great already and just keep getting better

Most ruined show - The Mentalist--again, repetitive, too formulaic, Patrick Jane's charm wore off a long time ago, the Red John thing has become ridiculous, Patrick is too smug to be likeable anymore and the formula makes the CBI look like Keystone Kops that Patrick has to show everyone how stupid they all are....VanPelt has turned into wallpaper acting-wise, Rigsby and Cho aren't much better

    • This is a pretty huge thing IMO, but I guess we will see what happens? Can't get any worse then already. 
    • This can be difficult for a soap to depict. So far she's only shown an interest in women. Will a man come into her life? If she commits to a male, there will be  backlash, but if it's women only, them where is the bi/queer aspect? Personally, I would have liked a single gay male on the show dealing with hook ups/relationships etc. Smitty/Martin married with kids is limiting in those terms.
    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.
    • Jordan was gone from '87 to mid-'89. He left just weeks after Robert's late '86 return.
    • Jordana Brewster is making a new movie. https://deadline.com/2025/06/rob-riggle-jordana-brewster-the-pirate-king-1236426287/ Kelly Rutherford posing for a magazine cover with her son. Kelly Rutherford Photographed with Model Son Hermés, 18, Years After Custody Battle  
    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
    •   Victoria's house (that she long ago lived in with Billy) burned down (I think Aunt Jordan set it ablaze?). Victoria briefly moved into the ranch after the fire, with Claire, Johnny and Katie, I think? Mariah and Tessa and baby Aria had been living in the tack house but they bought a house we've never seen and moved there. Victoria, Claire, and Cole then moved into the tack house as soon as Teriah left. I guess Victoria's children Johnny and Katie would live with Victoria at the tack house eventually? But Johnny and Katie went to boarding school during the school year. Not sure if we'll see Johnny and Katie for the summer vacation or where they would live.
    • Victoria’s previous house burned down.    And I know why characters frequent Crimson Lights 3 times a day for brownies, muffins and empty mugs:   THERE’S PCP IN EVERYTHING.
