Best and Worst of 2005: Annie's List
The Best:1. My Name is Earl: I didn't think this was going to be any good when I first saw the commercials because it looked like another stupid sitcom about -- whoo-hoo -- rednecks. Jason Lee's a cool cat, though, so I tuned in for one episode... Boy, am I glad I saw it! Although Lee doesn't disappoint, Jaime Pressly's performance is absolutely hysterical and often steals the show. Definitely one of my favorite programs of the year.
2. The Daily Show: I've loved it. Sill love it.
3. The Colbert Report: I was a little worried about this show in the beginning, but quickly grew to love it. Stephen Colbert's got a good thing going on right now and I'm definitely looking forward to more.
4. Lost: I love it when a show/film has a strong ensemble cast. That plus deep, conflicted backstory and tremendous writing is must-see TV for me.
5. Project Runway: Okay, they're only a few episodes in, but Project Runway never fails to deliver. Classiest reality show, hands-down.
The Worst:
1. Andy Milonakis Show: I enjoy stoner humor and can appreciate random situations (once, for absolutely no reason, I laughed at a half-eaten chicken wing and ball of tin foil for half an hour... I swear) but I fail to see what's so funny about this show. "Lookitme, I'm completely non sequitur! WHOO! PANCAKES!"
2. Invasion: It sounded like an interesting story but it was stretched way too thin. After three episodes or so, I realized that nothing was coming from it... so I stopped watching.
3. Out of Practice: This show is absolutely dreadful. Rizzo, darling, you're so much better than this (I was going to make a "There Are Worse Things I Could Do" joke but I'm resisting). You too, Christopher Gorham.
4. Being Bobby Brown: Why? For the love of all that is pure and good, WHY?!
5. Laguna Beach: See above.
