  1. Detroit 1-8-7: Season 1
    The series has developed its own original rhythm, each week breaking cases down into unexpectedly punchy vignettes. The cast is excellent. [6 Dec 2010, p.50]

  2. The Apprentice: Season 11
    What really matters on Apprentice, though, are the celebs: This season's B- and (let's face it) C-listers are a good, volatile mix. [14 Mar 2011, p.42]

    Gracepoint: Season 1
    As a raw police procedural, Gracepoint thrives thanks to legitimately unsettling twists, sharp revelations that focus our attention on new suspects. But it's in Carver and Miller’s competing worldviews that the show finds something more substantial to work with.
  4. American Horror Story: Season 1
    It's funny and moves blindingly fast, barely giving you time to blink or gulp--Dark Shadows for the PlayStation age. [10 Oct 2011, p.39]

  5. Alcatraz: Season 1
    The show has the makings of great--what else can I say?--escapist entertainment. [23 Jan 2012, p.39]

  6. Mike & Molly: Season 1
    Melissa McCarthy and Billy Gardell star in a sweet, old-fashioned sitcom. [Sep 27 2010, p.55]
    • People Weekly
  7. The Inbetweeners: Season 1
    The Inbetweeners is a companion to the network's hit Awkward. And equally funny. [27 Aug 2012, p.48]

  8. 666 Park Avenue: Season 1
    666 Park Avenue remains good Gothic Trash. [26 Nov 2012, p.44]

    The Office: Season 1
    Devotees are probably poised to dismiss the adaptation out of hand, but I found enough funny business here to overcome my sales resistance.
  10. Naked & Afraid: Season 1
    This is less interesting than I'd hoped. [8 Jul 2013, p.36]

  11. Eureka: Season 1
    The show borrows from Northern Exposure, Twin Peaks, maybe the corporate drama Profit--too many to gauge how it'll develop. [24 Jul 2006, p.33]
    • People Weekly
  12. 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]

  13. Here Comes Honey Boo Boo: Season 2
    Honey Boo Boo is just a little girl doing [her] best to be a beauty queen, TV star and dutiful daughter to the surprisingly levelheaded June. [22 Jul 2013]

  14. Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove: Season 1
    Cove is exactly What it aspires to be--uncynical, lulling and sweet. [12 Aug 2013]

  15. Almost Human: Season 1
    This late entry in the fall season is one of the best. [25 Nov 2013, p.43]
    • People Weekly
      • Posted Nov 15, 2013
  16. 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]

  17. Da Vinci's Demons: Season 1
    To work, this overheated alchemy needs a magnetic Leo, but Tom Riley is miscast--too smart-alecky and brash. [13 May 2013, p.46]

      • Posted May 3, 2013
  18. Fleming: The Man Who Would Be Bond: Season 1
    Cooper is compelling as an overconfident hothead who sees creative potential around each corner. Trouble is, no matter what the writers dream up for Fleming, Fleming has already dreamed up better for Bond. [10 Feb 2014, p.48]

  19. Necessary Roughness: Season 1
    Thorne has the right bristling, combative energy for all this commotion, but the pilot is hard to swallow. [4 Jul 2011, p.38]

  20. JAG: Season 1
    This is an old scow of a series, hefty and handsome but listing toward tedium.
  21. The Following: Season 1
    This provocatively, almost boisterously violent thriller bolts into action with a clever premise and sustains it with good, unexpected jolts. [28 Jan 2013, p.43]

  22. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: Season 1
    The formula still works. The Real Housewives of DC wasn't any fun, but the new Beverly Hills chapter delivers. [18 Oct 2010, p.37]
    • People Weekly
  23. Dawson's Creek: Season 1
    Attractive as well as articulate, all these high schoolers qualify for some sort of advanced placement. They're easy to watch, just a little hard to believe.
  24. Grey's Anatomy: Season 1
    There are bright spots here, including Pompeo's skillful performance and the surprisingly touching relationship between Meredith and her mother, a renowned surgeon. But to be worthy of study, Grey's Anatomy needs more of a brain.
  25. Entourage: Season 8
    The series is unmatched as a portrait of the entertainment industry. [8 Aug 2011, p.39]
    • People Weekly
      • Posted Jul 29, 2011
  26. Rizzoli & Isles: Season 1
    Their interaction is friendly, if mildly teasing, professional and catfight-free. This allows the show to have the relaxing, unchallenging pleasures of good fluff even when the premiere is actually going a bit heavy on the gore.
    • People Weekly
  27. Teen Wolf: Season 1
    The only disappointment is the werewolf makeup, minimal enough that Posey could still blend in at the mall. [13 Jun 2011, p.48]
    • People Weekly
      • Posted Jun 2, 2011
  28. Meadowlands: Season 1
    The show's tone of enigmatic menace is overcooked. [25 Jun 2007, p.41]

    Dancing With the Stars: Season 1
    It's all so much fun, in fact, that I propose Dancing viewing parties: Break out the wine and crackers and let ABC provide the delicious, calorie-free cheese.
  30. Late Night with Seth Meyers: Season 1
    Meyers is talented and interesting enough that I shouldn't be watching his premiere and wishing that Stefon had shown up instead of Joe Biden.... The monologue was nothing much. Meyers at least seemed instantly comfortable, at home, once he finished a string of so-so punchlines and sat down behind the desk.
