One Man's Trash Is Another Man's Treasure Award
AKA Show We Loved But Everybody Else Hated Of 2010
Carrie: 'Greek.' I maintain this is an awesome show but also recognize that oh hey, I'm 26 and maybe it's time to stop watching ABC Family with any kind of regularity.
Clinto: 'Warren the Ape.' It's a show about a puppet that goes to strip clubs and drinks and curses and stuff; I watched every episode. I thought the season had a couple great moments (Soup Plantation) but I would never bring them up in casual conversation because I don't expect anyone else to have watched a show based on the fact that it had strippers and puppets in it.
Your Treasure Is A Worthless Piece Of Sh*t To Me
AKA Show Everyone Else Loved But We Hated Of 2010
AKA Show Everyone Else Loved But We Hated Of 2010
Clinto: Tie between 'Boardwalk Empire' and 'Walking Dead.' I wanted to like both of these shows but wound up hating one ('Boardwalk') and just not caring about the other ('Walking Dead'). Steve Buscemi may be brilliant at playing the weird and creepy roles, but watching him play the straight guy lead, delivering all his lines in the same droll way, and having sex with Paz de la Huerta was a slow and painful torture for me. 'Walking Dead' was '28 Days Later' except that movie came out 8 years ago and was better.
Carrie: 'Glee.' 'Glee.' A THOUSAND TIMES 'GLEE.' What is the big deal with that show? I will give it plus 10 for featuring Uncle Jesse but then minus 100 for literally everything else that happens.
Man Crush/Woman Crush Of 2010
Carrie: Aaand for the third year running - Christina Hendricks. I may or may not have taken it the extra step of dying my hair red to emulate her a little more. Which is in no way sad.
Clinto: Man: the head teacher from 'Glee.' Woman: that dark haired chick that everybody else thinks is annoying from 'Glee' but posed for GQ and reminds me of a girl I dated in college.
Ryan Seacrest Achievement Award
AKA Best Kardashian of 2010
AKA Best Kardashian of 2010
Clinto: Bruce Jenner. Especially after the season finale when he got a haircut and stopped looking like a lesbian finally. Also maybe Kim for allegedly getting pregnant by artist of the millennium and my imaginary best friend Kanye West.
Carrie: Kendell. She did some modeling, I can now tell her apart from her sister (ish, I had to google her to make sure I didn't mean Kylie), and she doesn't have the Kardashian whine down yet. That, my friends, is as much of a win as we can expect from that show.
Best TV Drama of 2010
Carrie: TIE: 'Mad Men' and 'Friday Night Lights.' Only because Don was so hard to watch and didn't fingerbang anyone in a fit of rage this year.
Clinto: 'SPARTACUS.' I came for what I thought was a schlocky gladiator gorefest, and stayed for what ended up being a brilliantly crafted fantastically schlocky gladiator gorefest.
Best Comedy Of 2010
Clinto: 'Modern Fam' all day every day. Also I'd like to change my girl crush to the girl on this show that looks like she's 15 but is actually 20. Is that terrible? I don't care, I'm doing it.
Carrie: 'Parks and Recreation' - for Andy and Ron f-ing Swanson alone.
BEST BAD TV SHOW OF 2010
Carrie: 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.' And yes, I do hate myself for that, thanks for asking.
Clinto: 'Real Housewives Of Atlanta.' This show is at its peak and every time I watch I end up laughing for an hour straight. It would have won best comedy if not for the unstoppable force that is the dad that is not Al Bundy on 'Modern Fam.' For me this is the only Housewife show that matters.
Bonus Favorite TV Moment of 2010
Carrie: WATERMELON TO THE FACE on 'The Amazing Race.' Mostly because I am still genuinely shocked that woman didn't immediately die.
Clinto: Anyone of the horrendous facial expressions from Kim Zolciak on this season of 'RHOATL.' I know nobody here wants me to talk about a Housewives show, but f*ck it, Atlanta is the best thing to happen to TV in 2010.

Favorite Bonus TV Moment: When Oprah went camping. Oprah and gal pal (lover?) Gayle were trying to get more black people to go camping by ruffin it, but convincing anyone that camping is fun is really a lost cause. The Oprah editors who carefully edit her life made sure not to show REAL camping. I was tricked at first into thinking maybe it would be worth it to go make drinks in the woods with Oprah, but quickly returned to my senses when I looked around and realized the comforts of civilization. At least I still got my fix of the Big O. Happy 25th Season, Babe!
