With the 2010-2011 TV season over with, I look back at my top five shows of the season.

A partial view of my Best of 2010...

Obviously, some people are going to scream and hiss and moan at this selection, but hear me out, I beg of thee.

2010 was a hell of a a year for the Little Football Show That Could.

If Parks and Rec gives us another season like its last, it'll be in the running for best comedy on television.

It’s rare when an “event” television show with maximum hype lives up to anything close to what is (loudly) promised. If anything, Boardwalk Empire surpassed the hype.

True Blood was certainly not the worst thing on TV this year, but Season Three was a disappointment.

Anything can happen. We know this because it already has.

A quick list of some of my favorite programs over the course of the year.

I don't know how you could hold a roundtable about the best shows of 2010 without including Breaking Bad because it wouldn't be much of a stretch to call its third season the best season of any show ever. The funny thing is, I said that exact same thing after the second season. The third season was so spectacular that it knocked its predecessor from the top spot.

"It's okay to watch a show called Cougar Town."

"Do not go into the city. The city belongs to the dead now." - Rick

"I remember my dream now -- why I dug the holes" - Jim

“Guts” goes to the next level during the full sequence in which Rick and Glenn must pass through a busy street full o’ zombies to reach an escape vehicle.

I know I'm probably going to catch a fair amount of flack for saying this...

Last week's episode was near-perfect; this one was less so, but was still very well-done.

The Walking Dead, in its 90-minute premiere, reminded me of why I love King’s masterpiece while it began to establish its own unique and wonderful qualities.

It's been almost two whole days since I watched it, and I keep getting these lingering creepy feelings.

The TV Geek Army roundtable is back, and it's zombie time!

. I take the personal choice to believe Tony gets his right at the cut to black, dovetailing perfectly with Bobby's infamous line about "you probably never even see it coming."

The most important part of any finale is the ability to generate talk long after the show itself has finished.

Wherein we explore The Dead Zone, Dead Like Me, The Office UK, Extras, as more.

Wherein we hash-out films made from TV series such as Firefly, Dead Like Me, and Homicide.

A great finale is one that is in tune with the aesthetic of the series, wraps up the overarching story in a satisfactory way (or better), and leaves things on a note that enhances the overall quality of the show.

A beautiful, heartrending episode that haunts long after you’ve finished watching it and as such it remains still my quintessential show finale.

Though it's often unfair, I can't help comparing television series finales to those of The Sopranos, The Wire, and The Shield.

In the life of every TV show there are always two episodes that are more important than all the rest by a significant magnitude.
