Top 20 New Shows of 2010: #17

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 2010 closes out and 2011 begins, here’s a look back at the best new shows of the year.

#17: Rizzoli & Isles
This show might be ranked higher if it hadn’t officially switched over from a genuinely good show to a guilty pleasure, as I stated in my review of episode eight. Still, the chance to see Angie Harmon of “Women’s Murder Club” and Sasha Alexander of the first two seasons of “NCIS” team up was a whole lot of fun, as was Bruce McGill’s supporting partner. For a cop show set in Boston, it’s pretty decent entertainment.
