This was an interesting year of TV that actually saw my number of shows *drop* from 45 last year to just 42 this year. Frankly, I think I’m just getting less patient with shows. In the past I would’ve some programs more episodes or even a full season, whereas now I’m just more apt to cut and run. I gave Dirk Gently, for instance, four episodes to stop annoying the crap out of me and it never turned, so the hell with it.
There is obviously also a ton of television I haven’t watched, so if you feel there’s a great show that’s missing from this list, it’s 50-50 that I didn’t see it. (That’s a much nicer way of putting it than saying “why would I watch such obvious garbage?”)
In all cases, I’m citing the most recently-aired season of an ongoing series, which aired between now and mid-September 2016.
