2005 TV--part 1

As awards season comes up, there will be more and more attention paid to them.  Lumped into a lot of the film awards are television awards, which in some way is unfair, since the television year technically doesn’t go by the calendar year.  Also, as genres change more and more, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to determine what is a comedy/drama/etc.  In fact, after Boston Legal was nominated for 4 SAG awards as a comedy, though at the Emmys it’s considered a drama, there’s no silver market discussion of starting to really try and define these things.  

Nevertheless, here are my votes for best TV performances for the year.  There’s no cards, statues, or even Valentines Day flowers, but just a listing of performances, ranked in order.  (And since premium cable channels don’t play by the same rules, they aren’t included here.)
