Lost- B+ Many weren't fans of the time-tripping Season 5, but I liked the direction the story is headed into its final season. And the finale was riveting, as we crossed back over to destiny vs. free will debate. Season 6 should be a great ending, though waiting till January will be rough.
24- B- Jack was back for the first time in 18 months, and after a horrible 6th season and the strike almost destroyed this show, "24" rose from the ashes to be good (if not great) again. No silly side-stories, though there was plenty of the "are they good or bad?" lines. And Kim came back, and wasn't chased by a cougar. Season 8 might be the end, so enjoy it while you can.
My Name Is Earl- C+ Marked improvement from last year's jail/coma storylines, but starting to feel a little worn out. And it may not matter, as NBC has canceled the show. Fox may pick it up, but the show has almost run its course.
The Office- A- Another very good season from Steve Carrell and the gang. From the Holly storyline to Michael starting his own company, "The Office" rarely had a mediocre show this year. And Cafe Disco was one of the best episodes ever. It ended on a good note with Holly's return.
30 Rock- A- Competing with The Office as the funniest show on TV, Tina, Alec and Tracy are the best trio in comedy right now. Hilarious help from the supporting cast as well, and great (if too many) special guest stars.
Scrubs- B+ A great rebound for the supposed final season (since has been renewed), Scrubs got the ending it deserved but could never get from NBC. I'm a little torn on a 9th season, as the original cast will be sparse. Either way, ABC did the show right.
Family Guy- C- Very, very uneven season. First there was the 4 months of no new episodes in the middle of the season. Then came the horrendous OJ and Steven King episodes. There were some really good ones (The Bird is the Word), but Seth should worry about his bread-winner instead of making spin-offs.
Some hope for the future:
Better Off Ted- B-
Parks and Recreation- C
Gary Unmarried- B+
Oh, September can't get here soon enough!
