  1. Missing (2012): Season 1
    This bifurcated character--Mother of the Year meets Jack Bauer--isn't always believable, but Judd welds the two Beccas together through sheer willpower. [19 Mar 2012, p.41]

  2. Rake (2014): Season 1
    The first few episodes of Rake are, if anything, even fluffier than White Collar. All the better for Kinnear to gently cut through the whimsy with his sharp delivery. [27 Jan 2014, p.39]

  3. Off the Map: Season 1
    This enjoyable series from the Grey's Anatomy team is sort of Doctors Without Borders--who are also without too many clothes. [24 Jan 2011, p.41]

  4. Animal Practice: Season 1
    The show is cleverer than you'd expect. [20 Aug 2012, p.41]

  5. The Tudors: Season 4
    Tudor history is irresistible, even if the bedroom gymnastics here seem more in keeping with the Playboy Mansion than a royal palace. [19 Apr 2010, p.47]
    • People Weekly
  6. Hemlock Grove: Season 1
    The acting is good, especially Bill Skarsgard and Landon Liboiron.... I like the show's languid, dreamlike beauty, but horror fans may be less patient. [22 Apr 2013, p.47]

  7. Millionaire Matchmaker: Season 5
    Stranger isn't nice--not with the mortar shells she routinely fires from her mouth--but she's one of reality TV's most vivid characters. [29 Aug 2011, p.36]

  8. Daria: Season 1
    Visually... Daria is misconceived.
  9. Angel: Season 1
    Given that there's no earthly reason for Angel besides the sex appeal of David Boreanaz, it looks like a pretty good show.
  10. Enlisted: Season 1
    With its rugged leads displaying a light comic touch, the series has a fresh appeal. [3 Feb 2014, p.44]

  11. Cougar Town: Season 3
    The humor is so lighthearted, the show practically skips. [20 Feb 2012, p.48]

  12. Hot in Cleveland: Season 1
    When you're hot, you're hot-which is why having Betty White in the cast has generated an unusual amount of buzz for this TV Land sitcom. But her costars-ace comic actresses Wendie Malick, Jane Leeves, Valerie Bertinelli-are the ones who add sizzle to a not too promising vehicle.

  13. Why Not? with Shania Twain: Season 1
    She discusses her problems with a warm directness that makes them sound as if they could be anyone's. The show is less authentic when she learns about recovery from non-celebrities blindsided by tragedy. [16 May 2011, p.48]

  14. Revenge: Season 1
    VanCamp goes about her business with a purse-lipped Jodie Foster earnestness that makes her hard to root for. But Stowe coos, scowls, flirts and thunders. She roils Revenge. [26 sep 2011, p.56]

  15. Top Design: Season 1
    Top Design will make you not want to leave your TV room--no matter what it looks like. [5 Feb 2007, p.37]
    • People Weekly
  16. Rectify: Season 1
    [Rectify] feels damply airless--the tension might be ripped open at any moment by a thunderclap of revelation.... It's a disturbing, impressive performance [from Aden Young as Daniel]. [13 May 2013, p.49]

  17. Masters of Horror: Season 1
    Horror isn't my thing, but this is pretty good. [7 Nov 2005, p.41]
    • People Weekly
  18. 666 Park Avenue: Season 1
    666 Park Avenue remains good Gothic Trash. [26 Nov 2012, p.44]

  19. Signed, Dealed, Delivered: Season 1
    The show is vaguely mystical, implausible and sappy, but if you're in the right mood it's very moving. [5 May 2014, p.46]

  20. The Secret Circle: Season 1
    The acting is flat, but the show casts a hokey spell. [19 Sep 2011, p.65]

  21. The View: Season 1
    Behar is the true star. She's funny, likable (without sacrificing irreverence) and sensible. She's much too good to be sidelined an average of two days a week.
  22. Top Chef: Season 7
    Chef remains the model for cook-off competitions, balancing casual insight into culinary art with psychological snapshots of the aspiring chefs. This recipe can't be improved on.
    • People Weekly
  23. Veronica's Closet: Season 1
    The opener mostly succeeds in maintaining a tone that's more racy-adult than naughty-juvenile. The only element that doesn't mesh is the character of Alley's father.
  24. The Glee Project: Season 1
    Very few reality shows generate real suspense and sadness at the moment of elimination, but this one does. [20 Jun 2011, p.53]

  25. Revenge: Season 2
    Revenge's second season recaptured its melodramatic mojo after a muddled month. [12 Nov 2012, p.39]

  26. Army Wives: Season 1
    A satisfyingly meaty drama. [11 Jun 2007, p.41]
    • People Weekly
  27. Human Target: Season 2
    The interplay of the sexes has been used to better effect on other action vehicles--including FX's animated Archer--but the actresses lighten the tone, adding zip to a show that thrives on speed. [29 Nov 2010. p.42]
    • People Weekly

  28. The Nine Lives of Chloe King: Season 1
    In the premiere of this likably preposterous new show, [Chloe] learns that these changes are embedded in her DNA and can be traced back millennia. [20 Jun 2011, p.58]

  29. The Visitor: Season 1
    Both intriguing and irritating.
  30. The Crazy Ones: Season 1
    Williams's humming energy is charming (and more softly winsome than it used to be.) The challenge is to surround him with actors with enough skill to play off or with him. Gellar, as his daughter, doesn't quite pull it off. Hamish Linklater, as an art director, does. [4 Nov 2013]
