Top TV Shows/Experiences of the Decade

[oasisfan35]

This thread has really got me thinking, and I can't believe how long this decade has been and how much has happened in this medium. Something else that happened very early in the decade that greatly impacted me and my viewing habits (but by no means a "favorite" moment) was Conan's last episode of The Tonight Show in January 2010. I was a fervent Conan watcher throughout college and a pretty avid late night fan for many years (would watch Letterman and/or Leno depending on guests and reruns, and I even tried to get into a Leno taping when I was in LA at age 15), but the way they did him dirty soured me to network late night in a pretty hard way. Even when Colbert took over Letterman's role, I really couldn't get myself excited for it. I ended up writing about the early '90s late-night wars for a part of my dissertation, so I've still got some interest in it, but you couldn't pay me to watch most of that stuff now.

This is interesting. I was never an avid late-nighter but what little interest I had dramatically decreased when Conan was ousted. I don't think I've thought about it much but this post really rings true for me. Great post.

Conan was on Howard Stern this year and talked about this very directly. I am not really a Stern fan in any way but what I did hear was really very good. Both late night television and radio as a medium have changed quite a bit since the end of the late-night wars and inception of satellite radio.

It's more fun that way.

I forgot Penny Dreadful. Show could be uneven but Eva Green was amazing.
