Though the premiere season of “Pushing Daisies” hasn’t been topped by any of this year’s episodes, they’ve still been operating on a level that can’t be touched. The quirky comedy cannot be missed. It will be missed, however, when it finishes it run later this year.
2. The Colbert Report
Stephen Colbert brings the truth and leaves the facts. The third year of the show’s existence has seen him go to “Dorito's Spicy Sweet Chiladelphia” to cover the presidential primaries; bringing with him Barack Obama (via satellite), Hillary Clinton (who fixed the set when it “broke”) and John Edwards (when he had credibility).
3. 30 Rock
Attracting big name stars such as Oprah, Jennifer Anniston and the cast of “Night Court,” “30 Rock” is a fun show that combines relevant humor to bashing NBC. A great combination.
4. John Adams
The HBO miniseries starring Paul Giamatti has gotten everyone interested in our nation’s history. And the timing couldn’t have been more perfect. In a year dominated by presidential election talk, the series became decidedly relevant.
5. Politics coverage
2008 is the year of politics: whether viewers liked it or not, it was going to be the subject of just about everything on. “Saturday Night Live” suddenly became popular again, though whether that will continue to grasp viewers remains to be seen.

True Blood, hands down. I am a person that almost never gets hooked on television shows, especially not in the first season after getting burned and left hanging one too many times (Firefly, etc.). However, after one episode of this show I was completely hooked. Excellent characters, pretty good actors, a few novels' worth of source material, and the list of accolades keeps going. As a guy that does not really enjoy most TV dramas, any show that makes me plant my butt on the couch to watch an episode premier I find pretty impressive.

Heroes. While the show kind of slumped in its second season, it exploded into the third season with an extremely dark tone, further explanations of gaps in season one and a very compelling storyline with dire consequences for the world if our heroes/villains fail.

Considering the question is vague, one can answer the question both subjectively and objectively. Numbers don't lie, so the total number of viewers for that type of TV show may be considered the "best" show. Nielsen Ratings show this information per type of TV show: Cable, Sports, Syndicated, per week, since most shows don't last all year long, but are seasonal (see source). On the other hand, if I were to answer the question based on my personal preferences I would list the following top five, since I prefer comedy shows: 1. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
2. 30 Rock
3. The Office
4. Scrubs
5. Family Guy
