My favorite drama and comedy series 2010-2011

My favorite comedy series this year were the following:

Runners up:

The Big C- season 1 had its moment of greatness but also moments of unevenness. But a great cast proved that there were laughs even to be mined out of the most dire situations in life. It also inspired.

Glee- it was a very uneven season with some truly awful moments (sue marries herself. Sue as the grinch.) but it also had some great moments. (Curt being bullied. Curt's dad nearly dies. Curt and Blaine. Sue's family member dies)

The big bang theory- while the series started to have some growing pains. They were overcome by Sheldon and Amy Farrah Fowler.

Parks and Recreation- it was the best season yet with the citizens of Pawnee. Characters became more three dimensional and more importantly funny. The addition of Adam Scott only helped matters.

And my favorite comedy series is:
Modern Family- at this point this is kind of a no brained. Best cast on tv. Easily the funniest show on tv right now.

My favorite drama series were:

Runners up:

the walking dead: sure it's a zombie show, but it's also a survival story, a live story tied up with some dark humor. The best new show of the season.

The killing: Twin Peaks it really wasn't and Seattle has never looked bleaker. Its finale was the most controversial of the season. But I liked the deliberate pace, the acting and I actually liked the ending.

Dexter- it's hard to follow the John lithgow season and Dexter started off on the wrong foot with mourning Rita too long. But if a show can convince me that Julia stiles might be a good actress it must be doing something right.

Mad Men- it was my favorite season of mad men with great stories and elevated performance by most of the cast, and it probably would have been the best if it weren't for

my favorite:

Parenthood: it isn't high concept. No zombies, not a period piece. It's just a show about a family, but rarely has tv been so relatable and honest about family. It's sad the Emmys ignored it. It is the mist underrated show on television.
