Been a few weeks since I did one of these. A shocking turn of events for those of you who have seen my previous notions that I was turning toward Fox for my comedy fix. So here we go:
Current Top Ten – October 29th, 2012
1. Homeland – I worry that at some point they’re going to write themselves into a corner they can’t get out of, but for now it’s still on top.
2. Parks and Recreation – Continues to provide a masterful combination of comedy and heart.
3. Happy Endings – After only one episode this season, the HE crew debuts at #3 this week.
4. How I Met Your Mother – The elder statesman of the list drops down a spot after the weakest episode of the season (two weeks ago).
5. Last Resort – Although the ratings still leave me worried for the long-term survival of the show, creatively it’s starting to tick up.
6. The Walking Dead – Okay, so far they’ve done a pretty solid job this year. I’m starting to let my guard down.
7. New Girl – This show continues to confound me in that I honestly don’t know how memorable it is, but I am still enjoying it.
8. Suburgatory – Another later entry this season takes another spot away from the Fox comedy block.
9. The Daily Show – TDS remains relevant at least through the election.
10. The Colbert Report – Same with Colbert.
Dropped From Rankings: The Mindy Project (#5), Raising Hope (#7), Ben and Kate (#8).

Community – October 19th will come someday:
