Top Ten New Shows of 2009: #10

My annual TV Awards, the AFT Television Awards, are given out during the summer. But this year, during both the spring and the fall, produced many impressive new television series. As 2009 closes out and 2010 begins, here’s a look back at the best new shows of the year.

#10: Glee

This musical series has an unparalleled beat. Even when the plotlines don’t quite work, the music certainly does. The cast is fun and fresh, ranging from TV newcomer Lea Michele to hilarious veteran Jane Lynch, the musical score is terrific, and the songs are stellar. They’ve done well so far, and hopefully the show’s return in April can provide more sensible storylines to jive with the music.

Best Episode: “Showmance

I gave up on this show. The multiple pregnancy story lines were too ridiculous. As good as Jane Lynch is, she alone couldn't get me to keep watching. Pity, since it started out so well.

"Showmance" was a great episode, though.
