J/DB’s 12 Days of Lists – Day 1 – Best Shows of the Decade
I thought we needed something suitably big to cap off our 12 Days of Lists, so here you are! My criteria were simple, a) the show needed to have either exemplary quality or an aspect that altered the TV landscape, and b) it had to have started in the past decade. I preferred to put [...]
J/DB’s 12 Days of Lists – Day 2 – Best Show Redemptions of ‘09
Mwahaha!! Screw that DoubleBitch, I’m taking over this blog! From now on, you’ll be reading Jerk/DoubleJerk! Oh oh ewww, okay no. Also I haven’t gone megalomaniac, DB’s just gone home for Christmas a might unprepared *cough*forgotherpassword*cough* so I’m throwing up today’s list for her. While last season gave us a ton of really great TV, [...]
J/DB’s 12 Days of Lists – Day 3 – Best Freshmen Shows
2009 saw a surprising number of quality shows premiere, and I thought I’d take a look at the best of ‘em. No cheating here, if something (like Leverage) had a few eps in 2008, it won’t be on the list. So here you are, the best shows that haven’t been on the air for a [...]
J/DB’s 12 Days of Lists – Day 4 – Best TV Gifts
Tis the season! Have we said that enough yet? Tis the season to do a lot of things but buying gifts is one of them. (Speaking of, any chance of us getting together over the next week or so Jerk?) And while it may be too late for this year, here are my top year-relevant [...]
J/DB’s 12 Days of Lists – Day 5 – Best of 1999
Let’s celebrate the end of the decade by looking back at the end of the last. Here’s what I consider to be the high points of the 1999 television landscape.
First up we’ve got the growth of the Whedonverse. 1999 not only saw some of the best Buffy episodes (both Dopplegangland and Hush), but also the [...]
J/DB’s 12 Days of Lists – Day 6 – Best of Mark Sheppard
I was going to do my list of the top three guest stars but then I realized at least two, if not all three of them were in fact one man, Mark Sheppard. Though he was known for a few other roles in the past, this year he seemed to come out of nowhere. He [...]
J/DB’s 12 Days of Lists – Day 7 – Worst Deaths
Normally we’ve been starting off these lists with a bit of an explanation, but the reasons that make these the worst deaths are case specific, so let’s just say this list is complementary to DB’s last one and get to the dead people!
1.) Daphne Millbrook
Okay, you’re saying ‘but Jerk, her death was done really well [...]
J/DB’s 12 Days of Lists – Day 8 – Best Deaths
A whole year of TV is a lot to take in when talking about a major action like a death. We lost lots of characters over the year, considering it encompasses the end of the last season and the start of a new one, but here are my top 3. (Warning, totally spoilery)
Tory – Battlestar [...]
J/DB’s 12 Days of Lists – Day 9 – Breakout Actors of ‘09
Now when you normally see a list like this, the writer has taken ‘breakout’ to mean ‘the average person would recognize them, if not know their name’. But it’s just us TV geeks here, right? We’re all familiar with slagging away in the IMDB trenches to come up with data. So when I say breakout, [...]
J/DB’s 12 Days of Lists – Day 10 – Most Indicitave Hair
Welcome to Day 10 – Top Three Most Indicative Hair Changes of 2009
He may be slightly late-great now but Raising the Bar’s Jerry Kellerman’s hair was the Felicity of the season. One way to start things off with a bang is to take a running joke and character indicator and cut it off. Our beloved [...]
