Colbert Report Named Best TV Show of 2008
Entertainment Weekly has just announced their list of the ten best shows of 2008 and with it comes quite a shocker: The Shield is still on! What? I thought that ended like five years ago.
Is ALF still on too? What about Newhart? Man, I really need to get a TV.
Oh, also, The Colbert Report is the year's best show. But you already knew that.
satire and slapstick. And throughout 2008, his angry-demagogue persona
took on an all-encompassing, nonpartisan air that allowed for intricate
layers of irony. His previous weak spot — sometimes-awkward interviews
with celebs and authors who don't know which ''Colbert'' they're
talking to — became rock-solid, as guests ranging from Jackson Browne
to Prof. Cornel West got down and boogied verbally with the master of
the outrageous put-on. And his year-capping A
Colbert Christmas,
which was warmly affectionate around its crisp satirical edges, only
increased our admiration for this purposefully clueless jerk played by
a very shrewd guy indeed.
Congratulations to all the other show's on the list. I'm sure Stephen Colbert's dust is delicious.
