oh man, that TV stuff in 2016!!!
1. The People vs OJ Simpson (FX)
left a PERManent 90s stain on my psycheÂ
(please note – I didn’t get a chance to watch the ESPN doc series on OJ yet):
-Â
2. The Americans (FX)
poor poor Martha Hanson
-Â
3. Baskets (FX)
Louie Anderson – BIGGEST comeback of the 21st Century!!!
-Â
4. Murder Made Me Famous (REELZ)
a who’s who of horrible human beings – Jodi Arias, Scott Peterson, The Menendez Brothers, Drew Peterson, Ted Bundy, Joran van der Sloot, Pamela Smart, Jean Harris, Billionaire Boys Club, The Preppy Killer, Steven Avery, Charles Manson.  sure, the news is old, but the reenactments are fresh – and I friggin love reenactments!!!  also, the Steve Avery one had me throw out any sympathy that I had formed from watching Making of a Murderer!!!  also, I could listen to Steve Helling talk ALL DAY
-Â
5 & 6. Gotham (Fox) & Supergirl (CBS/CW)
(still) amazing how DC heroes are done OH so right on the small screen, and OH so wrong on the big screen
–
7. Younger (TV Land)
this is basically TV’s best kept secret. Â Sutton Foster and her teefy smile are infectious!
–
8. Shameless (Showtime)
a show I truly hate to watch, cause I always feel the need to take 82929 showers after watching it, but I cannot quit on the Gallaghers, especially now that the little kids are coming into their own, and so is Kevin (above) and his shorter hair!
–
9. Bates Motel (A&E)
the show inches closer and closer to the Norman Bates we all know and love, while creating the Norman Bates we never knew anything about. Â sad that the upcoming season will be its final oneÂ
–
10. Halt and Catch Fire (AMC)
even more ones and zeroes, and four of my favorite TV HEROES!!!!
–
11. Drunk History (Comedy Central)
more Rich Fulcher please!
–
12. Fresh Off The Boat (ABC)
 
making broadcast TV comedies fun again, and again! Â probably my favorite modern TV family
–
other solid forms of entertainments:Â
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver – it was all a lot of fun AND games, until his efforts to stop Trump were in vain, and I couldn’t watch the show anymore
The Circus – fantastic and immediate election season show was a must watch, although I still haven’t brought myself to watch the final episode. Â gasp
The Affair - so so so soo soo excellent that it made me eat Lunch
Maron -Â nice ending to a show that didn’t seem to have a beginning
Silicon Valley – still my favorite cast on TV
The Last Man Earth – still my 2nd favorite cast on TV
Married At First Sight 4Â -Â finally, some of the people found love
Veep – incredible how the insane politics of this show were outdone by the real insane politics of 2016!
Married by Mom and Dad – what a great bad idea. Â its heart is in the right place, even if the hearts don’t end up in the right place
Tyrant - the show ran out of steam, and I was basically done with it once Ashraf Barhom was done
Fargo - I hope they keep farGOING and GOING!!!
Modern Family – it’s like they’re trying too hard to be funny, and it shouldn’t have to be that way
House of Cards - OMG – the Russian guy is really Mads Mikkelsen’s brother!!!
Game of Thrones - still not as good as HBO’s Rome
Million Dollar Listing New York – I’m sold on Fredrik, Ryan and Luis
Mistresses - so long, goodbye, don’t let your awfulness hit you on the way out
Restaurant Startup – Joe is still an a$$hole, and Tim Love still has giant eyes, and I still cannot miss an episode
11/22/63 – they need to travel back in time and remake the series without James Franco!
Girls - this show needs an abortion from itself
