		<description><![CDATA[Callie Khouri&#8217;s primetime drama about country singers living in Music City managed to build up a lot of hype before its premiere.  The series certainly had its share of problems, but ended up delivering a solidly entertaining first entry. The pilot episode itself is something of a masterpiece.  In just under one hour, we&#8217;re taken]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Comedies don&#8217;t usually get to this level of disappointment until about season six or seven. Modern Family seems to have rushed the process to its fourth season. The comedy turned to cliches and easy jabs for laughs. The show became boring, tired, and recycled. Modern Family&#8216;s fall from grace seems to have come from the fear of doing]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nashville concluded  its freshman season with an episode full of dramatics and big revelations.  The smaller moments actually ended up leaving a stronger impression, but boy what an ending. After last week&#8217;s double whammy of Jolene&#8217;s death and Maddie&#8217;s discovery of her biological father&#8217;s identity, things hit the ground running.  Juliette goes to meet with]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Modern Family ended its fourth season with a poignant and darkly comic episode. But it was not without its flaws. Goodnight Gracie shows the Dunphys dealing with something every family deals with at one time or another, death. Phil&#8217;s mother has died, meaning we got another episode with Fred Willard as his father. She left behind notes]]></description>

There were nine seasons in total and numerous Emmys and Golden Globes, making the show an obvious classic. But which years were the best? Here&#8217;s how we would rank the nine seasons. &#160; &#160; &#160; 9.]]></description>

A lot happened (or maybe nothing happened) in this weeks entry as the office continues to feel the repercussions of being an ad agency with a car. Chevy no less. Their latest client is working them hard, forcing them]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now that&#8217;s more like it. Game of Thrones bounced back this week with a focused episode that moved stories forward at a much better pace. Only half of the main characters appeared this week, and that was a great thing. I&#8217;ve been hoping for Thrones to ditch the idea of seeing eight or so stories a week, and five]]></description>

The season can be pretty easily divided into three parts, both in terms of story and quality. When Arrow first premiered it was a decent but not great superhero series. The beginning of the season]]></description>
