TV
Favorite Shows 2009(Half-Hour)
10. The Office, NBC
Not as good as it used to be, but still capable of greatness.

9.
Community, NBC
A successor in spirit to Undeclared.

8. Parks and Recreation, NBC
The most improved show from last season.

7. Cougar Town, ABC
It's like Scrubs if Scrubs took place in a suburb instead of a hospital. I love it.

6. The Big Bang Theory, CBS
Still very funny.

If Tracy Morgan doesn't make you laugh, You suck.

The most horribly hilarious people on TV.

The best family sitcom I've seen in a long time.

2. Scrubs, ABC

How I Met Your Mother, CBS
Still my favorite sitcom.

Favorite Graphic Novel of 2009

Scott Pilgrim vs. The Universe by Bryan Lee O'Malley

Publisher of 2009
DC Comics
I usually prefer Marvel, but I've gotta go with DC this year. I feel like Marvel was treading water for most of 2009 with Dark Reign which has gone on at least six months too long. On the other side I loved so much of what DC has done in 2009 including The Batline Relaunch, Flash: Rebirth, Superman: Secret Origin, GL/Blackest Night, Teen Titans, Wonder Woman and Power Girl. Also The Unwritten from Vertigo.
