On Sunday, I had the chance to share my top 10 list of favorite programs from the first half of 2009. Feel free to do the same. Here’s a recap of my list:

1) “Rescue Me” (FX): Still smokin’ hot.

2) “Thrilla in Manila” (HBO): A sports documentary that will have you rethinking your admiration for Muhammed Ali.

3) “The Big Bang Theory” (CBS): Slowly, ,but surely, this has become the best sitcom on TV.

4) “Damages” (FX): Not as strong as the first season, but still great whodunit stories.

5) “30 Rock” (NBC): Not even a bevy of guest stars could ruin the spirit of this plucky sitcom.

6) “My Boys” (TBS): Criminally underappreciated.

7) “Breaking Bad” (AMC): Bryan Cranston. ‘Nuff said.

“Taking Chance” (HBO): When will someone recognize Kevin Bacon as more than just a touchstone for a dated game?

9) “Better off Ted” (ABC): Never got the time slot or the traction to be a hit.

10): “Party Down” (Starz): Betcha you haven’t seen this one. Change that.
