Heh make out? I just didn’t see it as a makeout session. It’s like saying Moses went mountain climbing, kind of misses the point.
I hate Deal Or No Deal and i LOVE The Office this is awesome!!! 😀
I’m distressed by the lack of Battlestar Galactica.
Wow… Twenty Good Years was considered the worst show of the year? Did these people already forget about the mess that was Vanished?
I didn’t realize that critics like Earl.
Anyway, it’s nice to see that The Office got the largest percentage of any show in any category.
Is this limited to only network shows? Because there are plenty of shows on MTV, for example, that could be up for “worst show.”
And is Fox almost airing OJ really a TV moment? It seems more like a TV-related news item. And I think Lost and 24 both had moments last year that deserved to be on that list (and I also think the “I’m in love with you” conversation was better than the actual kiss, even though it was a great payoff).
