The Best Television of 2007

The Best Television of 2007: A Bilbo's Red Book Special Report

LOST (ABC)

Without a doubt, Lost has been one of the best TV shows to ever hit the tube. After a shaky second season, the third season returned stronger and more in line with what had been set in season 1. The solid acting and intriguing story lines still keep this show going. So far the only bad thing going for this show is how Season 4 has been postponed until "sometime in February 2008". If the show makers don't hurry up and bring Lost back, they are going to lose some of their fans!
Jericho (CBS)

One of the most successful sleeper hit shows of the year was definitely Jericho. This show follows the residents of a small town who are completely isolated when several of America's large cities are destroyed by bombs. It is unclear what is happening, if the bombs are nuclear, who attacked them, and it creates a TON of suspense in this show. This show doesn't have the best acting, but the hooking scripts keep me coming back for more. As an interesting side note, this show originally was to be canceled, but the fans protested so greatly that the producers decided to bring it back for a second season.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (CBS)

What more can I say than it is CSI? This show has been able to consistently be really good for several seasons in a row, and it is incredibly riveting to watch the relationships between the characters developing as the mysteries get more and more inventive.

In general, 2007 was a disappointing year television-wise. Not that many shows were actually any good! Pretty much all of the new shows turned out to be flops.
Thank goodness that we have such reliable shows such as the three above to look forward to in 2008!
