Best of 2007: Top Ten Television Shows

Here are my choices for the top ten television shows of 2007:

1. Private Practice, airing Wednesdays at 9 pm on ABC. This was a newcomer for the fall season, and perhaps the best new show this fall. The show is a take off from Grey's Anatomy, with Addison leaving the show to start a new life in California. The show I think is going to be around for many seasons. What it offers for the viewer is the hope of making a fresh start after ending a marriage/relationship. It shows us that we can start over, no matter how bad things may have been in the past. Also, we see a chance at a new, healthier relationship between the main character Addison, and former Wings co-star Tim Daly who plays Pete Wilder. Much more excitement awaits, such as a potential relationship with the male mid-wife Dell (Chris Lowell) and Naomi (Audra McDonald), recently divorced fertility specialist whose exhusband also works at the Private Practice.

2. Lost. Okay, Lost has been pretty LOST lately, but there were episodes aired sometime back in early 2007. Of course, I can't really recall when. The show may be the best show ever on television, in my opinion. It's genius because it wasn't just about doctors, or lawyers, or an office, but about making you guess, making you think, forcing you to search your soul for what the island is all about, and just plain right putting you on the edge of your seat in many episodes. We still really don't know what to expect in Lost- the secret is still LOST. This show couldn't make it to number one since it's been on hold for new episodes, and the fact that in a season or two, we're going to have to find out all the secrets. Don't you think?

3. Samantha Who? The next two awesome television shows from 2007 are both comedies. Samantha Who? made the list because it's really funny. Just when you think there's nothing else that could have affected her memory, the writers come up with something else that will have you rolling on the floor. I think the show is classic and original, and Christina Applegate plays Samantha with sheer genius. She's perfect for the role.
