Best TV Shows of 2010 3-4

Ok I know I only posted the last post like six hours ago, but its my day off and that happens so rarely, I have NO idea what to do with myself, so I'm just laying in bed refreshing Facebook. I figured this would be more proactive.

#4. Dexter

Dexter had a tricky feat to pull off this season- following last season. Last season was incredible. Everyone knows it. John Lithgow and the writers brought us the best Dexter season yet and probably the best television show of last year. If I had made a list last year, Dex would have likely topped it. And it all ended with the "HOLY WTF??!?!?!" gut punch. Those who have seen it know what I'm talking about. Those who haven't shouldn't be reading this. Anyway how do you follow a season that is a shock a minute until the end? Dexter answered this question by crafting a much quieter season and it worked to great effect. Yes, it picked up toward the end like they all do, but much of it was slow and methodical. One of the things I credit to this season is the writing. It felt so natural and real. Story lines evolved in a way that didn't feel like a television show and that's a compliment. Seeds were planted in the first couple episodes that didn't bloom until the last couple. That's good writing. Top it all off with some amazing moments for Dexter and Michael C. Hall. That dude needs to win an Emmy. Julia Stiles guest starred this season and just in case someone hasn't caught up, I won't tell you what her role is, but she was pretty terrific. The story that goes on between her character and Dexter are some of the most touching and poignant ever on the show. And if a show about killing people can pull off being legitimately moving well, that's a testament to the power of the show as a whole.

#3. 30 Rock

I'm kind of a Tina Fey whore. I love her. I love everything she does. I think she's probably the funniest woman on the planet. But I don't just love 30 Rock for Tina Fey. I love it for Jack. I love it for Jenna. I love it for Kenneth. I love it for Liz. I love how much Liz loves eating. I love Liz and Jacks relationship. I love the numerous times Liz's name has been turned into some form of the word 'Lesbian' for a joke. I love the endless stream of terrific guest stars from Jon Hamm to Elizabeth Banks. From Matt Damon to the hysterical Michael Sheen. I love pretty much everything about 30 Rock. Why does it deserve #3? Because it make me laugh harder at something than I've ever laughed at anything in my entire life. How?This clip right here...

Oh 30 Rock. What would I do without you?

Tomorrow I will list the two best TV shows I watched this year. Same deal goes. Guess them = free movie. Hell, if anyone even cares enough to even read or comment on this, I'll probably buy them sushi or something.

Soupy Twist.
