ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY PICKS SPRING'S TEN BEST TV SHOWS

EW has put together their list of the ten best shows coming on tv this Spring. An intersting mix of drama, comedy and sci-fi, some are big in the ratings, some are not. Which ones are you watching?
10. Caprica (SyFy, Fridays 9-10PM) The Battlestar Galactica prequel is on the rise in rating AND buzz. I haven't seen it yet, but it seems everyone else is getting hooked.
9. Damages (FX, Mondays 10-11PM) With Glenn Close as a brittle beyotch how can you go wrong. Damages is a full-fledged hit for FX. Keep 'em coming.
8. Southland (TNT, Tuesdays 10-11PM) The show was dropped by NBC before it even had a chance to grow, but TNT has snatched up the excellent crime drama and given it new life. If you didn't get a chance to see it when it aired the first time, check it out. It's pretty dang good.
7. Glee (Fox, Returning April 13th, 9-10PM) DUH!!! Glee is amazy! Singing, dancing, choir geeks, jocks, nerds, horny teachers. AND Molly Shannon is going to be on! YEA!!!
6. Modern Family (ABC, Wednesdays 9-9:30PM) Quite possibly the funniest show on television, Modern Family is addictive in it's quirky, sweet humor. The family is crazy with just enough realness to keep you hooked. I LOVE the gay dads!! Watch it!!
5. Fringe (Fox, Returns April 1, 9-10PM) The sci-fi thriller is like an updated X-Files, which is a great thing. Excellent actors and interesting story lines, the show has it going on, yo!
4. Friday Night Lights (NBC, Premieres April 30, 8-9PM) The show has been moved around so many times that it's been hard to gain a significant audience, but let's hope it is settled now. I don't watch this show either, but everyone I know who does is a die-hard fan. Maybe it's time to give it a try.
3. Lost (ABC, Tuesdays 9-10PM) The show is in it's final season so everyone is peeing themselves to see how things turn out. I'm not one of "everyone" btw.
2. Breaking Bad (AMC, Premieres March 21, 10-11PM) Bryan Cranston has won two Emmys for his work on the AMC hit about a former highshool chemistry teacher who decides after being diagnosed with cancer to sell meth to make money for his family's future. THAT is interesting!! Great performances and stellar writing make this a show people should be watching.
1. The Good Wife (CBS, Tuesdays, 10-11PM) This show is good!! Julianna Marguiles is a welcome sight back on television as the wife of a recently disgraced state attorney who goes back to her job as a junior litigator while her husband is in jail. Both a crime drama and a family drama, this show has it all. It's really a must-see.
So there you have it, a tv schedule all made out for you by EW. Of course, some of MY faves did not make the list including, but not limited to: Cougar Town, The Middle, RuPaul's Drag Race, Family Guy, Ugly Betty, and the moving, motivational drama America's Next Top Model. What are you gonna do about it? HUH? Watch, that's what!
