Denise Richards: It's Complicated should be #1 on the worst list. God is that show awful! Living Lohan is a little better, but still trash. These shows make Keeping Up with the Kardashians look like The West Wing. (BTW...love those Kardashians!)

I am very happy to see "Eli Stone" and "In Treatment" on the 25 best series list. But, they forgot about "Damages".

Damages didn't air during the time frame(January 6-June 20), same with Mad Men, so neither was listed.
Thanks for this information.

Speaking of the TCA Summer Press Tour, does anybody have a schedule for that? I know the cable networks are participating this week, but are the broadcast networks participating next week?

Definitely shows how polarizing of a show it is. It's neither great nor awful, and doesn't really belong on either list. I for one, find it boring, but I can see how that would easily become hatred for its success. And then of course there are those 25 million fanatics of the show too.
