Each year Jenn and I rank the TV that we watch. You’d think that our list in 2020 would be a mile long given that we’ve been home for 9 of the 12 months but in fact we actually watched less TV this year than almost any other year. That’s not to say that we haven’t watched some great television this year. So without further ado here are our rankings of shows for 2020.

Each year Jenn and I compile a list ranking the TV we watched over that past year. This year we just watched more TV than any other year. Part of that is that we stayed home more both because of Frasier and we traveled less in 2019. The good news is it was a phenomenal year for TV and I can speak for both Jenn and I when I say that ranking this year was harder than ever.

Jenn and I love TV. It’s the Golden Age of television and we continue to watch incredible shows. Like we do every year we ranked our favorite shows from the past year. We watched a lot less television this year but still has quality. So without further ado, here’s our rankings for television shows we watched in 2018.

What an absolute treasure of a year for television. I struggled so badly to put this list together. And after talking with Jenn about her list we both really struggled with the top ten area of the list. What I found so interesting about this year's list is how many of our favorites dropped to the bottom of our list. I'm looking at you Veep, Silicon Valley, Orange is the New Black and Red Oaks. Luckily there were so many amazing new shows this year like The Handmaid's Tale, Big Little Lies, and Sneaky Pete. 

Last year Jenn and I started a new annual tradition to write up and rank our favorite shows of the year. It began with 18 shows last year and ballooned out a little this year to 24 for me and 21 for Jenn. This list does not include the multitude of political shows we watch (Last Week Tonight, The Daily Show, Real Time with Bill Maher, and Full Frontal) or reality shows (The Amazing Race and Top Chef). This list only includes scripted shows where we completed at least a season in the year.

It's probably no surprise to any one that knows me that I love HBO's Silicon Valley. I'm someone that will sit down and watch not only Apple but Google, Microsoft and Tesla press conferences when they announce new products. I love watching tech moguls like Tim Cook, Elon Musk and the like do interviews and learn more about their roads to where they are now. But what I love even more about the tech industry now is that every day there's a new app or piece of hardware that may change the world. In a nutshell Silicon Valley is a comedic look at the amazing, weird, and often nonsensical world of tech.
