I guess it puts me in the ‘old people’ demographic, but I have to say that I am still p.o.’d that Boston Legal is off the air. The series finale aired a couple of weeks ago and has been touted as one of the best series finales ever. In the media, it has been made to sound like only people over 50 watched this show. That is categorically not true. I have ranted about how fabulous William Shatner and James Spader were for years now, and quite a few of my friends watched it.

2008 is drawing to a close, and it’s time to look back on the best TV had to offer us over the past year. It was a year of sophomore dramas, new comedies, and rallying back after the writers’ strike that crippled the previous TV season. Here are the shows that leaped to the top of the list and delivered the best quality to be found in 2008. Fringe The best new series of 2008 comes from JJ Abrams, creator of Lost and Alias. And indeed, Fringe borrows thematically from Alias‘ intrigue, not to Engagement: What Conservatives Must Do
By now, it should be obvious to conservatives that the Republican Party’s policy of writing off large chunks of the American landscape simply because they had “turned blue” was a major mistake. Without a dog in the fight, voters in Northeastern and Western states are no longer even hearing conservative arguments, much less being offered a right-leaning choice on the ballot. That means the outcome is determined before the first vote is even cast. In 2008, for example, it was sickening to…Do The Right Thing!! Mistah Fab Loves The Kids!!

Aren’t you surprised that making fun of Sarah Palin has become the top TV moment? I mean, it’s incredible that the liberal media has decided that out of the entire TV season, this is the top moment!
