The Best TV of 2015

Here be my Best of TV 2015 lists. Like last year, I divided them in to new shows and returning shows. I don't think it's really fair to put those in the same lists as they have different things to prove. But this year due to the overwhelming amount of half-hour shows that I loved, I divided it up by format as well (I decided not to use the label "comedy" even though it frequently applies). They are all roughly in order of favorite to least.

Random Song Stuck In My Head: Friday, February 8, 2013

I know how this got in my head as well. About a month ago I went on a binge of old Smashing Pumpkins music. Well, so I know how it got there, but I don't know why this particular one came up and stayed stuck there out of all the others. This song feels perfect for my life right now — not the lyrics at all really, just the tone. PS: I hate the weird Corgan picture they are using on this youtube clip. That totally clashes with the song for me.

Random Song Stuck In My Head: Wednesday December 5th, 2012

Stuff like this is actually a guilty pleasure of mine. I mean, it's not a bad song, but it would definitely be made fun of in some of the circles I belong to...
