With the season finale of Lost last night, the TV season has come to a close, and my 2nd annual ratings of my favorite shows will commence. Note that every show gets an F for effort due to writers' strike that made ridiculously short seasons.
Back To You- C+ the only new show that I stuck with gets cancelled. Not the greatest show in the world, but smart and funny; and is bringing this show back for a 2nd season really worse than an 8th season (not making that up, folks) of According to Jim???
Til Death- B- the addition of the hilarious JB Smoove(Curb Your Enthusiasm) late this year may save this show in its upcoming 3rd season. A funny enough show with some really good episodes this year.
24- MIA because of writers' strike. Lets hope an extra year's worth of time saves this once-great show after a crappy 6th season last year.
My Name is Earl- D+ Absolutely went wrong this year, sending the main character into an inordinate amount of episodes in prison and a coma. Let's hope it gets back to what made this show great just a year ago.
The Office- A- No complaints here, the Jim and Pam thing was better than could have been expected, Michael got back to being cringe-inducing with a heart of gold; background characters were better fleshed out.
30 Rock- B Started strong but finished a bit weak. Tina Fey is still the funniest woman on TV, and the ensemble of this show could turn this into a "Cheers"-type show, if only people would watch!
Scrubs- C+ I'm biased a little only because I enjoyed all 6 previous season over last summer and was a bit dissapointed in how lackluster this one felt. Thankfully ABC has picked up this show for a final season after being treated horribly by NBC at the end. Let's hope for a high note.
SNL- B Funniest season in awhile, and the political years always help. Amy Poehler needs to do one more year just to keep giving us Update and Hillary.
Family Guy- B The episodes that actually aired were funny as always. All 12 of them, by far the fewest of all the shows.
Lost- A+ Saved the best for last. This season was phoenominal. 14 episodes that didn't leave a moment for filler, chock full of meaty storylines, some answers, and more questions. This has the promise to become the smartest-written show ever. We'll know for sure in 2 years, when we come to the end.

House - B+
Battlestar - B-
TV OFF = A++
The only show on this list that I watch is "The Office" and I think it needs to go back to being a show about the office, not zany side trips that allows them to shoot the show anywhere but in the office. The writer's strike killed the story line (the season was supposed to have like 28 episodes).
