They must have forgotten Breaking Bad. That can be the only explanation. So much better than everything on that list, excluding Mad Men.

Movies list is ok, though I would have liked to see Inglourious Basterds, Star Trek and 500 Days of Summer.

The Hangover? No. It was funny, but it wasn't one of the best of the year. And Party Down one of the best of the year as far as TV? I disagree in full.

Hell yes for Party Down. That show would be huge right now if it was on HBO or Showtime.

Believe me, you'll be seeing them a LOT in the next two months.
It's nice to see them make some smaller choices.

Yeah, you're probably right. Really interested in Sugar. It was at a film festival in my hometown, but I missed it.

Wow. My Top 10 list will look nothing like this. Maybe 2 or 3 of the movies at most will be on my list.

what 2 or 3?
Fantastic Mr. Fox should be in almost all top 10's.

I really enjoyed Sugar; it's a great little film (and looked pretty damn good in Blu as well).

The Messenger, Up and possibly Hurt Locker may squeak in.
I haven't seen Up in the air or Sugar yet though.
Inglorious Basterds not being on there is ridiculous.

I saw this movie over Thanksgiving Break right after eating brownies and as a result fell asleep about 3/4 of the way through. I now have no recollection of what happened at any point during the movie and I'm disappointed. I have to go see it again now haha.

Both of those lists suck.
Big Bang Theory is lame. Why is that on there over Curb, 30 Rock, It's Always Sunny, etc?

I hope those brownies had weed in them to knock you out.

Big Bang Theory should be on the "worst" list in my opinion. The rest of the list is tolorable though.

I didn't like Coraline....
how dare their opinion differ from mine.

psh, Big Bang Theory is a good show, you just need the semi-nerdy mindset

sad not seeing (500) on the list. maybe i'm just too attached to the movie because i'm a Tom Henson. anyway, not really feeling the list.
oh well.

I have the nerdy mindset. I'm a diehard Buffy fan and I'm currently watching Battlestar Galactica lol. I just don't think it's funny.

Love Friday Night Lights and Glee being on there but no LOST? WTF.
Sugar was a great film too. Not as good as Half Nelson, but another great movie from Ryan Fleck.

Party Down is a show I've been meaning to get into.
Friday Night Lights? Didn't expect to see that. Great show.

Everyone is pissed that The Big Bang Theory is on there, yet no one complains about bullshit like True Blood. Unreal. Esp over a drama like Breaking Bad.

Lost has made the list a couple of times already.
Sean, BBT is definitely worse than True Blood.
Nobody can make a movies list yet, the year isn't over yet. Invictus and Avatar still need reviews.

I never said it wasn't, but the fact that no one complained about it yet is what upset me, lol.

invictus was really bad. clint dropped the ball.

You can relax with the hyperbolic statements, sir. 89% among top critics on Rotten Tomatoes begs to differ.

I really need to see Invictus. Looks great.

I'm really surprised to see that Six Feet Under isnt on that list.

I think adding The Hangover to the list is their way of diversifying it.

It's a list of Top TV Shows of 2009, not the decade.
