What Was the Best Show of 2010?
It's come down to this, TV Fanatics.
We've already asked for your take on the top television couple, comedy and reality programs. But now we've arrived at the most important year-end question of all: What was the best show of 2010?
There's bound to be disagreement over our poll options below, but remember: this is merely based on the last 12 months. In our view, the past season-plus of some TV Fanatic favorites (sorry, Gossip Girl, Grey's Anatomy, True Blood) haven't featured the most interesting/suspenseful/original storytelling.
Will they make this cut in 2011? Perhaps. But, for now, we ask readers to vote on the following shows:

From the choices given, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES FTW!! But personally, I'm a fan of Shondaland so I think the best are Private Practice and Grey's Anatomy.

I don't watch any of those shows! Greys is the best. Walking Dead is awesome. I am addicted to True Blood. Fuck Glee!

How does only having 6 episodes make Walking Dead not eligible?

despite the grade tvfanatic gave it TVD has not been suspenseful as most of the plot of became pointless when The Sacrifice happen and it winter finale was a bit ugh.
Gossip Girl has left me guessing bit more and actually used their guest stars better than TVD has done. Also TVD loses based on the fact Damon's hair is a mess.
NCIS wins though as ratings do not lie.

I am sure these are all good shows, but as everyone keeps repeating, Glee isn't going so great this season. Like I watch it and love it but it hasn't been the most captivating. Whereas Greys Anatomy is actually fascinating. How is it not original or suspenceful that Christina be the one the most affected by the shooting? How is that not good tv? I will never understand you guys.
