Best TV Series</center>
PeterPanfan: Eleven shows ended up being nominated for this year's "Best TV Series" award, and all eleven are critically acclaimed. First up is "30 Rock." Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin lead this comedic TV series about what happens behind the scenes of a sketch television show.
Next is "The Colbert Report," Comedy Central's satirical show. Spin-off from "The Daily Show", "The Colbert Report" hilariously critiques current events, sports, and the media.
"Desperate Housewives", the third in the list of nominees, focuses on the lives of the women of Wisteria Lane, as seen through the eyes of their deceased friend and neighbor, Mary Alice Young.
Next is "Family Guy", the animated show that parodies a typical, albeit dysfunctional, family household, consisting of the crude father, Peter, the obsessed mother, Lois, the overweight son, Chris, the unloveable daughter, Meg, the destructive baby, Stewie, and the drunk talking dog, Brian.
"How I Met Your Mother" comes next, serving as the only live-action sitcom on this particular list. The plot is centered around the future Ted Moseby, voiced by Bob Saget, explaining to his two children the adventures of meeting their mother. All episodes consist of Ted with his best friends: Barney, the womanizer, Marshall, the typical best friend, Robin, the former Canadian teen idol, and Lily, the "girl next door" wife to Marshall.
"Late Night With Conan O'Brien" follows, being the only late night talk show to appear on the list. Conan O'Brien, the hilarious talk show host, serves up a humourous and informative talk show.
Steve Carell leads the extremely funny and parodical show, "The Office", which is the following show on this list. Depicting the everyday lives of office employees in Scranton, Pennsylvania, it provides an interesting, although mostly true, take on what happens when the boss isn't around.
The fantastical irony of "Pushing Daisies" is that it is a light-hearted dark comedy. Ned, a piemaker, can bring the dead back to life for sixty seconds, and if the dead is brought back for any longer, another person dies.
Next is the weekly ninety minute late night show, "Saturday Night Live." Many people believe it to have been in its prime in its early years, and then picking back up when Tina Fey became head writer, only to fall into another ditch after she left. During election season, SNL also took over Thursday Nights, with the now popular Tina Fey as Sarah Palin and Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton sketches.
This next show, the comedy-drama that is "Scrubs", follows the lives of several employees of Sacred Heart, a teaching hopsital. Led by the funny and believable Zach Braff, this show is currently in its 8th season.
Rounding out the nominees is "Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job!", the Adult Swim-produced comedic television series. The show consists of sketches, songs, and mock commercials, all hilarious.
Once more, the nominees are:
30 Rock
The Colbert Report
Desperate Housewives
Family Guy
How I Met Your Mother
Late Night with Conan O'Brien
The Office
Pushing Daisies
Saturday Night Live
Scrubs
Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job!
Well, with eleven amazing shows to choose from, all the nominees have been close, I'm sure. But there is only one winner, and that winner is...
