It's time for the Second Annual Ripper Awards! What were the best TV shows of the last year? Shows considered aired from July 2012 to the present.
I would like to do the same this year, except instead of long form and short form, I will break the dramas into three groups - Broadcast, Basic Cable and Premium Channels. That seems the fairest way to do it.
So please, submit your nominations now, in any category you desire. I am looking for scripted (fiction) programs that ran in the last year. Don't worry about categories. Just name your favorites and I'll do the sorting out.
Please nominate here or on Facebook. I am hoping for a great turnout of voters, because the more people participate the more fun it is!
Ladies and gentlemen, fellow Rippers, start your nominating engines!

Nominate now! (Unless you have done so already)
Looking at the list, I realize I just don't watch TV any more. However, I really did like Chicago Hope, so that's my vote. You didn't have "The Medium" on the list, and I really liked that also. I used to watch CSI and Law and Order, but I can't say that either one is great. I also used to watch "The Mentalist" but mostly because I think Simon Baker is really cute.
ReplyDeleteI vote for Walking Dead and Bates Motel.
ReplyDeleteI vote for Criminal Minds, NCIS, Once Upon a Time, Revolution, and Falling Skies.
ReplyDeleteGame of Thrones is the only TV show that I watch nowadays, so I'm going with that.
