In Chuck Pushing Daisies
Proud TV Blog Coalition member Scooter recently sent out a call asking TV bloggers what their favorite new shows of the 2007 were. After some feverish computing and calculating on his TI-82, he came up with this master list.
1. Pushing Daisies - ABC (8)
2. Chuck - NBC (2)
3. Dirty Sexy Money - ABC
4. The Big Bang Theory - CBS
5. Gossip Girl - CW
6. Aliens in America - CW
7. Samantha Who? - ABC
8. Moonlight - CBS (1)
9. Reaper - CW
10. Journeyman - NBC
(numbers in parentheses denote first place votes)
Also receiving votes: Life, Woman’s Murder Club, Private Practice,Bionic Woman, Cane.
Pushing Daisies — of course it’s the obvious choice. Everyone loves it, and if you don’t, you better stop frontin’ because you should. I am, however, a little surprised about the high rankings of Chuck and Big Bang Theory. For one, Chuck (and this is really a whole separate post) is really not doing it for me and my backlog has grown to such proportions that I have, in effect, stopped watching it. You can still firmly count me in Team Reaper, although I’m not wildly enthusiastic about either. And Big Bang Theory? Maybe they’ve gotten the ball rolling after that tedious pilot, but I’m still skeptical.
I was also the only one to give any love to Cane. Which, by the way, I have been watching. We’ll talk later.
The voters were: Dan, Ducky, Kath, Jo, Liz, Rae, Sandie, Scooter McGavin, Tube Talk Girl, TVFan, and Vance.
I agree with the top 4, except for dirty sexy money.
Chuck took awhile to take off - a lot longer than it should have, but thankfully for it, there wasn’t much competition in its timeslot.
Big bang theory was a complete surprise to me - I am delighted by this show. I never thought i’d watch it, but wow is it funny.
Pushing daisies - ’nuff said.
But i would replace Dirty sexy money with Life. I LOVE this show. Soames is my favorite…
i tried and abandoned the rest of the shows listed….
Ok I’m actually down with DSMoney… and Cane? There’s no explaining wanting that on the list.
And I have checked back on Big Bang and it’s actually improved a bit but I still would only watch it because it’s between shows I like.
I am still really liking Chuck, for me it’s a great balance of fun characters and a lot of action packed comedy. It’s not the best show, again Pushing Daisies would get my vote, but for me it’s a little piece of goodness.
A TI-82: I wish, I still rock the 81. Sad thing is I took a Graduate class last year and not only was I the only one with an 81, everyone else had an TI-85. Luckily the professor was to lazy to actually grade the final so he just gave everyone who showed up everyday an A.
The thing about Chuck is that its votes were very scattered within people’s top 5, it just happened to be on everyone’s ballot. As for The Big Bang Theory, there was very little difference between 3-10, there were more points inbetween Chuck and Dirty Sexy Money than there was The Big Bang Theory and Journeyman, so those shows were almost a toss up. Personally I ranked it high because Sheldon is eaily the greatest new characher on TV this season.
