Top 20 New Shows of 2011: #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 2011 closes out and 2012 begins, here’s a look back at the best new shows of the year.

#17: Love Bites
This show never stood a chance. After being long-delayed, it premiered in June and starred a pregnant actress who had to be relegated to doing so very little. Becki Newton shone whenever she appeared, and this anthology series had some high points with specific guest stars like Krysten Ritter, Michelle Tratchtenberg, Matt Long, and Rebecca Creskoff. Some things worked and others really didn’t, but this show was sweet and enjoyable, and too short-lived.
