It was already pretty clear that Fall 2008 wasn't the shining beacon of good television we all wanted after the writers' strike, but the latest installment of TV Week's critics' poll pretty much drives the message home. Only one new show, HBO's True Blood, managed to crack the top 10, while all but one show on the list of worst series was a product of Fall '08.

Mad Men took first place on the best list, jumping up from second last time it was eligible. (The poll ranked shows airing between late June and early December.) The Shield took second, followed by 30 Rock and Dexter. True Blood was fifth.

As for the worst? Do Not Disturb topped that list, followed by Knight Rider, Kath and Kim, My Own Worst Enemy, and Crusoe — ouch for NBC!

My personal favorite entry is Chuck at No. 10 on the best list, up from No. 18 the only other time it was eligible. Check out the full list with explanations here, and to see the top 10 and bottom 11, just read more

It was nice to have some new TV to welcome in the new year so soon after the holidays, don't you think? I really enjoyed settling in for a night of new ABC shows and I definitely got a kick out of this week's episode of Desperate Housewives. While I like the storyline with the newfound friendship between Lee and Susan, I think my favorite part of the episode is seeing Bree get meet her control-freaky match in Alex's also redheaded mother Melina!

After breaking Christmastime records last week, audiences once again put the adorably naughty pup in the top spot at the box office over the weekend. Marley & Me, starring Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson, earned an estimated $24 million "for a cume of $106.5 million in only 11 days."

In second place came Adam Sandler's Bedtime Stories followed by The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in third, Valkyrie in fourth and Yes Man in fifth.

Another unusually great weekend for the box office during the holiday season! What did you check out this first weekend of the new year?
