Best New Show: LIFE

With the strike-shortened season pretty much wrapped, I'm making it official. Seriously. All eleven are frikkin' tight. (Okay, the videogaming one - eh.) They tied up one of the main mysteries without killing the engine of the show. And yet, if it disappears now, it's like a British show -- story mission accomplished.

Best NEW network show of the year.

Even the occasional attempts to remind us that Sarah Shahi is gorgeous instead of allowing us to just enjoy the fact that she can hit a joke were thwarted.

Start your BitTorrents.

(NOTE: Some of you will insist Pushing Daisies is the best new show. It may be the most different. But a.) I don't see how it functions much past Season One, where I can project how Damian Lewis ad Sarah Shahi entertain me for many years to come and b.) the show is so twee, I must admit I only really tune in to watch Chi McBride rain on their parade.)
