In the winter edition of TVWeek's semi-annual critics' poll, the AMC ad drama is the first basic cable series ever at the top of the best chart, while HBO's vampire drama "True Blood" bites into the best new series prize--meanwhile, the Fox sitcom bomb and all of NBC's new scripted series made the worst list (PDF--site was running slow today):
http://www.tvweek.com/2008/12/31/twcriticschart4web.pdf Two of the best series are done voluntarily ("The Shield," "Boston Legal"), two more are probably done ("Pushing Daisies," "Eli Stone"), nine of the top 10 worst series are new ("According to Jim" the kneejerk exception), one was technically a special, not a series ("Rosie Live"), four of the ten worst are officially gone ("Own Worst Enemy," "Opportunity Knocks," "Ex-List" and "Disturb"--"Crusoe" is considered officially a one-and-done series and "Hole in the Wall" returns later this month). The Ex-Chief did not participate in the poll this time out. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Like TV only smarter.
