What show impressed you most in 2008?

Out of the ones running, Pushing Daisies for continuing to be perfect, The Wire for still being better than every show while having it's weakest season and Mad Men for continuing to have such depth, richness and brilliance.

What show impressed you least in 2008?
Heroes S3
SGA S5 minus a few great episodes



I seemed to have gained more fandoms than I expected. Pretty good year I'd say and I am especially happy with picking up Alias with my second favorite ship, Jack/Irina along with some excellent shows like Oz (and my other new favorite ship Beecher/Kellar!), Six Feet Under and Mad Men (Sal!). Hoping to get some classic great shows off my list next year like The West Wing, The X-Files and The Sopranos. Going to be a busy year so we'll see what I get done.
