My Hits List of 2009

There have been a lot of best and worst of 2009 lists floating around and I thought I'll do my own little list. My previous post listed my misses of 2009 and now I give you my hits.

Not sure why I started to watch you but you're actually quite good - The Good Wife

Breakout star in a bad show - Katie Cassidy, Melrose Place

I can't believe you're not watching this - Better Off Ted

You're a star - TNT for picking up Southland

I can't stop watching this scene - Kurt and the football team doing Beyonce's Single Ladies, Glee

Outstanding multi performances - Jane Lynch (Party Down and Glee) and Toni Collette (United States of Tara)

Most improved but I always thought you were good - Parks and Recreation

Your character annoys other people on the show but I think you're brilliant - Sheldon, The Big Bang Theory

Best network manoeuvre - ABC's Wednesday night comedy trio

I can't believe you've left me hanging - Lost's season 5 finale

Best new shows that more people should talk about - Nurse Jackie and United States of Tara

Got cancelled just as the show hit its a storyline high - Dollhouse

Best answer to a question - Quagmire answering Brian's question 'why don't you like me', Family Guy

Paging Nurse Jackie

I'm still to cast an opinion on Nurse Jackie yet and I've managed to watch three episodes now. The good news is that I shall watch a fourth but I'm not sure how I feel about it. I'm one of the few that has never watched The Sopranos, in fact I've never watched anything that Edie Falco has been in so I had no expectations. I came into this quite blind; just saw that a new show was starting and I wanted to give it a try while I wait for the main bulk of shows come back in September.

Also starring is Peter Facinelli (from Twilight and Jennie Garth's husband). My knowledge on the others that are in this is pretty slim. The show is built as a dark comedy and it's still trying to find its feet where this is concerned.

There is something about her character that has me intrigued that I can't quite put my finger on. Maybe it's some of the lengths that she goes to, pushing the ethical boundary or her double life. Whatever it is, I shall keep with this.

Showtime is already pleased, with a over 1 million viewers for the first episode, they have immediately renewed it for a second season.
