Top 13 New Shows of 2013: #13

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 a handful of impressive new television series. As 2013 closes out and 2014 begins, here’s a look back at the best new shows of the year.

#13: Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
I was incredibly excited to see this spin-off of “The Avengers” arrive on television, and its overly simplistic and family-friendly nature was disappointing. With time, however, this show has grown into something more engaging and exciting. It still needs some work, but I’m glad to see that it’s headed in the right direction. Its best asset is the amusingly-named Fitz-Simmons, actually two equally endearing characters whose scientific enthusiasm often gets the best of them.

Best Episode: “The Hub”
