More Creepies: BEST NEW SHOW

This television season featured a slight change in the way the networks think people watch TV. They cut back on the serials...except for The Nine, Vanished, and Kidnapped. And instead they brought us amazing characters, stories with something more at stake than a single crime being solved, and flashes of why this is the golden era of television.

Here are my awards for Best New TV Shows

5. 30 Rock
I must admit that I don't really watch this show. I have seen 3 episodes. Two were very funny and one wasn't so much so. But any show that can make Alec Baldwin relevant again is going to gain some props from me. It was a toss-up between this show and Friday Night Lights for the 5th spot. I went with 30 Rock because FNL just got buried on...Friday Nights.

4. Jericho
I'm sad that this show was canceled. I feel like it's Invasion all over again. A great show with so much left to tell. Skeet Ulrich was the show's biggest surprise.

3. Ugly Betty
Colorful characters, lots of diversity, and plenty of funny. This show would have been the talk of the town if had been delivered a season earlier or held until mid-season this year. Instead it has gotten lost in the shuffle behind the top two shows on this list.

2. Heroes
A show that failed in consistency, but made up for it in originality and creativity. The BOOM at the end was more a fizzle, but Heroes is still going to live on as a great series.

1. Brothers and Sisters
A show that relies so heavily on political viewpoints and family strife is a hard sell. Add Sally Field, Ron Rifkin, and Calista Flockhart and you have the recipe for a great show. Rob Lowe added a breath of fresh air halfway through the season and then Emily VanCamp pushed it over the finish line. Watch this show if you aren't already!
