NBC's Community: Intro To Top 10 Lists 101

The fifth season of Community is here, and it is as good as ever.  I was worried, with season 4 being less than stellar, but Dan Harmon is back, and he's letting everyone know.

The adventures of Jeff Winger (Joel McHale), Annie Edison (Allison Brie), Shirley Bennet (Yvette Nicole Brown), Pierce Hawthorne (Chevy Chase), Troy Barnes (Donald Glover), Abed Nadir (Danny Pudi), and Britta Perry (Gillian Jacobs) are some of my favorite.  Let's not forget about Dean Pelton (Jim Rash) and Senior Chang aka El Tigre (Ken Jeong).  So, I spent a large portion of the winter holiday re-watching the entire series to pick my top 10 episodes, and it was CRAZY tough.  Also, no episodes from season 4 were even remotely considered.  

Fall TV Preview: 7 Best Returning Characters

Can you smell it? The smell of new fall TV, and so far it's scent smells free of Gordon Ramsey, ugh nevermind there's a Master Chef kids edition. Really though, how many shows does that man need? He's like a mean Dick Clark in a chef's jacket.

This is the time of the year old standards return, and the networks try to cram new characters down our throats. Call me old fashioned, but I don't know about the six of you that read this blog, but when I choose to regularly include show into my television viewing habits, I'm in it with said show's characters for the long haul, so it takes a lot for me to allow a new one in my life. It's all about commitment, people!

To show you who I hold dear to my TV viewing heart, I devised a list of my favorite characters from shows I watch that are returning this fall.

(Sidebar #1: Keep in mind I said "returning this fall", so I don't want to hear any of that "What about Workaholics?" shit. They don't start up again until next year.)

(Sidebar #2: Keep in mind I said "shows I watch", so I don't want to hear any of that "What about Sons of Anarchy or Walking Dead?" shit. You can get mad if you want to, but they don't see the light of day on my DVR.)
