Blind JusticeCreated by Steven Bochco, Nicholas Wootton and Matt OlmsteadABC Wednesdays at 10:00 P.M.Critical Consensus: 54 [mediocre] (11 reviews)Baltimore Sun: 75“It's a decent enough show, well-acted and nice to look at, if a little overfull of happy coincidence, stock characters and situational cliche.”Chicago Tribune: 75“Blind Justice will go way beyond its fanciful premise to unlock

Jake in ProgressABC Thursdays at 8:00 P.M.Critical Consensus: 64 [okay] Seattle Times: 100“Jake in Progress is the reinvented sitcom that TV has badly needed. It combines fast, in-the-know humor and a surprising amount of heart. It treats us like the smart viewers we are without a hint of bi-coastal snobbery.”E! Online: 75“A pretty lead, quirky sidekicks and Hollywood skewering? Progress might

Well, the first batch of best tv lists are in and of course Arrested Development is #1, and by quite some margin, followed by Lost. The venerable series The Simpsons manage to sneak into the top 10 as well. Those horny Desperate Housewive's pull off an upset victory besting critical darlings Scrubs and The Wire coming in at #3, maybe popularity does matter after all? And in a world of

2003 helped to prove that the sitcom isn't dead, it's just that nobody's watching the good ones. Regardless, this year saw the emergence of the insanely acclaimed new series Arrested Development, easily taking the #1 spot, the discovery of The Office by American viewers (#1 for the 2002-2003 season) and Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm wrapping up another great season. But serialized dramas

You may as well remove the American flag on your cars window seal, and stick in its place a Union Jack. Yes, the British have came and put all of our shows to shame this year. With The Office, Ricky Gervais and co. have crafted the most praised sitcom since Frasier and easily snage the #1 position. And just because this was Buffy's final year doesn't mean that girl-power on the small screen is

This was definitely not a very decisive year, the next to top ranking show (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) scored a lowly 42.50. Without a single unfying excellent series, the critical concensus was muddled and thus several merely good seasons managed to claim top honors. No worries, the first season of The Office offerrs some redemption. Still, overall a bad year for T.V. Maybe next year...The Top
