For the past few years, I have made it a point to rank my favorite shows of the year. As a TV podcaster, I feel it is important to give my opinions about what I’ve enjoyed in a longer format than I could do a podcast episode. In years past, I have created multiple lists (new shows, comedies, dramas, reality/variety) but that always made so much more work for me so I decided to mesh all the genres into one list this time. Many other TV bloggers make these kinds of lists and other kinds of rankings of favorite episodes, couples, etcetera. My list is always very different from these popular sites because I don’t watch 3/4 of the shows they do. Without further ado, here is my list. Feel free to agree or disagree. I welcome your comments as always.

1) Parenthood – This show has long been a favorite of mine. I love the chemistry of the family members and how the storylines intermingle. The show runner is Jason Katims, who also created another favorite show – Friday Night Lights – and he does a fantastic job. For many years it has flown under of the radar and was in danger of cancelation practically every season (much like FNL until the DirectTV/NBC deal was made). Even though there was a strong core audience for the show, it wasn’t being seen by as many people as it could have been. Listeners of this podcast know what a huge fan of am of this show and I cannot say enough great things about it.

Parenthood is now in its 4th season and has really hit its stride. This season has been particularly strong due to the fantastic writing for the character of Kristina, played by the incredible Monica Potter. Kristina was never a very root-able character before this season. She was a mother with a very awesome husband (eldest son of the Braverman clan) and three kids, one of which was diagnosed with Asperger’s disease in the first season. This season she was diagnosed with breast cancer and her storyline has made me weep and broken my heart almost every week. We have seen her play out being diagnosed (through a heartbreaking non-verbal scene sharing that with her husband), sharing the news with the family, starting her chemo, being physically ill from the treatments and in the last episode of 2012 being on the brink of death. She recorded a heartbreaking video for her kids which her husband Adam watched while she lay in dire straights in the hospital. Just thinking about that episode and the great span of emotions that were played out makes me emotional again. In my opinion, Monica Potter deserves every award that is out there, but unfortunately Parenthood hardly ever garnishes any nominations and never has won anything even though it is amazing.

2) Parks and Recreation – This show is my current favorite comedy. It has a fantastic ensemble led by the amazing Amy Poehler and the writing is incredibly smart and funny. Last season Poehler’s big storyline was her running for city councilperson and that storyline allowed us to see the development and flourishing of her relationship with her boyfriend Ben, played by the fantastic Adam Scott (whom I fell in love with on Party Down). At the end of the season, Ben was offered an amazing job in Washington, D.C. so as season 5 began we saw them trying to maintain a long distance relationship. When his job ended, Ben came to realize how important Leslie was in his life and he proposed in the most touching scene I have ever seen on this show. They are an amazing couple and I can’t wait to see more as their relationship continue to develop. At the parks department, there is an eclectic collection of people who work together and who also have a deep friendship and love for each other which makes for very enjoyable scenes and interactions. It is a great show that is very underrated and it brings me a lot of joy each week.

3) Happy Endings – Speaking of comedies that bring me joy, this is another one that I look forward to every week. It is filmed and set in Chicago (yeah!) and has a fantastic cast and writing. This was a mid-season show last year and it flew under the radar. The interesting part about it is that the premise of the show (two friends break up at the altar and the other friends have to decide which side they fall on) was very brief. After the first few episodes, it became clear that that storyline was vital to the relationships of the friends, but it wasn’t a focus. It morphed into a show about a group of friends who live life together. Amongst the group of 20-somethings, there is a married couple and the others are trying to figure out their lives and relationships. They love each other and have great comedic timing and spark. It is a delight to watch and has only gotten better as the show has progressed.

4) Sherlock – I have become a HUGE fan of British TV shows over the years, and most of them have been suggested to me by my Twitter followers. I did not watch Sherlock when it first aired, but I discovered it much later when it appeared on Netflix streaming and kept hearing about it from many people. I adored the first series and then had to wait the dreadfully long time for the second series. It finally aired in 2012 and I was once again taken away by the brillance. Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch are so fantastic as Watson and Holmes and because of this show, they have found even bigger success in film (well deserved!). It is the smartest take on Sherlock Holmes I have ever seen and although I have liked other versions, nothing can compare to how great this one is written and executed. Both series are available on Netflix streaming, so if you haven’t seen this yet please do.

5) Downton Abbey – Speaking of brilliant British series, I discovered the amazingness of this series last summer. It was dreadfully hot in Wisconsin and I spent many days holed up in my air conditioned room watching Netflix. After I watched many, many cheesy romantic comedies available, I decided to finally dive into this show that I heard so many people talk about. I was immediately swept away in the beauty and artfulness of this show. The setting was stunning, the writing was sharp and the cast was incredible. Lots of history is included as the characters live in the time period that the show takes place. The family is of royal blood, but they are not snobby or full of themselves. They show respect for their servants (calling them Mr. or Mrs.) and they are never rude to any of them. Throughout the first two series, we see the development of the relationship between Mary and Matthew which culminated in a beautiful engagement scene in the Christmas episode of series 2. Series 3 is about to debut in the U.S. this weekend. Word has just broken that the actor who plays Matthew is leaving show, which saddens me, but I know they can execute his exit well. I’m very excited to see new episodes very soon.

6) Once Upon a Time – Listeners to this podcast know that I am a huge fan of OUAT and are probably wondering why the show is so low on a top 10 list. I still love the show and look forward to it every week, but like many critics of the show I can see many areas that have not been as good this season. I have enjoyed the stories they have told and I listen to three podcasts about the show (clearly I’m a fan), but it has suffered in season 2. I have every confidence that the writers can get it back to its season 1 stature, especially with what was set up in the Fall finale. I’m excited to see where the stories go and I know it can only get better.

7) The Walking Dead – This is my first year putting this on my list because I saw it for the first time last summer. I got cable TV and internet in May, so that was the first time I was able to see some of the amazing shows that are offered on those stations when they aired. Over the July 4th weekend, AMC offered a marathon of all of the season 1 and 2 episodes, so I jumped on this chance to get caught up. All the critics out there seemed to adore it and many of my friends did also, so I took a chance. Many months before that I had seen the pilot on Netflix streaming and I wasn’t sure what to think. It seemed too gory and not at all like a show I would like, but despite my hesitations I still gave it a chance. I’m very glad I did because I quickly became hooked. I soon discovered that it was not just a show about zombies (which I have never been a fan of) but about the survivors and the human condition. I’m still squeamish about most of the zombie kills, but I’m still very intrigued by the show. I was able to watch season 3 when it aired and the first half of the season was even better than the first two seasons. They killed off a few core characters, but that has only made the stakes higher and more heartfelt. I haven’t agreed with all the choices they’ve made with the characters, but overall I am very pleased with what has happened. It has also been fun to watch The Talking Dead talk show after the show to get a fan’s perspective on what was just seen in the episode. It has just been reported that although the show has been renewed for another season, the current showrunner will be leaving the show. This is always a cause for concern, but I hope it works out for the best.

8) New Girl – This is another show that has an amazing ensemble. It’s enjoyable to see the characters develop as they’ve matured especially the character of Schmidt played by the amazing talent Max Greenfield (whom I first fell in love with on Ugly Betty and then later on Veronica Mars). He has grown the most of the characters because he started off as a playboy and later in the season developed a relationship with Jess’ best friend CeCe and this season finally realized that he is in love with her. Unfortunately, he tried to tell her when he was drunk and she rejected him because he wasn’t the kind of man her parents would approve of (I hope she comes to her senses). I am thrilled every time Greenfield earns an award nomination, but unfortunately he’s always up against Modern Family stars so he never has a chance of winning. Another great dynamic in the group is the relationship between Jess and Nick. They have grown closer and closer as the show has progressed and although they have admitted to each other that there is something between them, they have never done more than flirt with each other. I really hope something develops with them. The odd man out is Winston, who has never had a good storyline and it seems like the writers don’t know what to do with the character. I hope they figure it out because he has potential. Overall it’s a very enjoyable show and ensemble and although I haven’t approved of every storyline they have done, I still look forward to show each week.

9) Arrow – The new shows this year that have been decent have been few and far between, but this one has been solid from the pilot. I’ve always been a huge fan of superhero stories despite the fact that I don’t read the comics, and I didn’t know much about Green Arrow. Fortunately that was okay because they did a great job in establishing Oliver Queen’s backstory and throughout the subsequent episodes they have developed even more of the blank spots in that history. He spent five years on an island, so they certainly have a lot more to fill in as they go on and we have only seen 9 episodes so far. I enjoy the dynamic between the characters especially Oliver and his sister Thea (played by Willa Holland who I recently discovered in my first viewing of The O.C.), his ex Laurel (played by Katie Cassidy who was previously on Gossip Girl) and his mother (played by Susanna Thompson from Once & Again and Kings). The main actor Stephen Amell has been in other work, but this was the first time I had seen him on TV. He’s shirtless a lot, and he has great abs (if that matters to you in deciding to watch). It has been very enjoyable to watch so far and I look forward to many more adventures ahead (since it was picked up for a full season early on).

10) Cougar Town – This is another great ensemble show that I have been a fan of since it started (are you noticing a trend?). Unfortunately, ABC never had much respect for it and because of that it greatly suffered in poor ratings and success. It’s a great show fronted by Courtney Cox (from Friends) and, like Happy Endings, quickly changed gears from its original premise (about a 40ish woman re-entering the dating world). Showrunner Bill Lawrence (creator of Scrubs) quickly morphed it into a show about the “cul-de-sac crew” a group of friends who drink A LOT of wine and live together in a Florida neighborhood. Christa Miller (Lawrence’s real life wife) is hilarious as Jules’ best friend and her husband is played by the awesome Ian Gomez. Throw in the hilarious Busy Phillips (who played Audrey on later seasons of Dawson’s Creek) as their hilarious friend Laurie, Jules’ college-aged son Travis (played by Dan Byrd previously on Heroes) and her ex-husband Bobby (played by Brian Van Holt) and you have the makings of a great cast. Lawrence also realized what an amazing chemistry Cox had with Josh Hopkins (who plays Grayson) and put them together as couple. Over the seasons, we saw Grayson grow up as a character and they became a root-able couple. When it looked like ABC would be canceling it at the end of last season, they decided to throw a very non-traditional but amazing wedding for the couple and then it received a reprieve when TBS picked it up for another season. I am very excited to see the new season play out (which starts next Tuesday) because I have grown to love these characters.

Of course, I watch way more than 10 shows at a time and there were many other shows that are worth mentioning as being very solid in 2012. I’m not mentioning any of my summer shows, but many of them were pretty great last summer (and/or Fall).

Big thanks to Daniel for sending me a link to a blog post he wrote about the NBC Show Parenthood regarding the character Max and his portrayer of Asperger’s Syndrom. You can find that article here. Dan produces a show about the Special Olympics called Special Chronicles.

I recently wrote a blog post (with lots of photos) about the adventure acquiring my desk and meeting number 1 fan Jennifer in person. You can find it here.

I have had a long history with desks and computer in my short lifetime and this history began in 1998 with my first computer and first desk. In my college and young career life, I went through a few computers and I purchased and assembled a desk that at the time was very useful for me. However, it was not put together correctly (by me) and was only held together of its own shire will. When I moved out of my parent’s home in 2005, the movers had to be very careful with this desk because it was barely held together in the middle and without extreme care it would fall apart. I continued to use this desk through the years but knew that an upgrade would be necessary at some point.

It became very obvious to me this Fall that a new desk would be needed very soon. I saved up the money for new podcasting equipment (which you can see in the video here) and I used the very small space I had to set up my new mixer, microphone and digital audio recorder. When I had saved up enough money to invest in a good desk (which I have never really had) I knew the only option was to go to IKEA. Many of my podcasting friends swear by how great their furniture is and I knew it would be the best place to go. The only problem is, however, is that the closest store is in Schaumburg, IL which is 1 hour and 40 minutes away (according to Siri).

As you are probably aware, I have recorded this show in front of a live Ustream audience for many months now. Throughout this time, my friend <a href=”http://www.twitter.com/JGazMom”>Jennifer</a> has been my number 1 fan coming to every single live show. Jenn lives in the Chicago area so I thought that this would be a wonderful experience to not only to see her but also to take my very first trip to IKEA and acquire a desk.

We made a plan for me to come down on an upcoming Saturday, but since I work in retail as my third job I was not granted this request off because of the busy Christmas season. I then modified my plan and decided to travel down on a Monday that I was off.

It took just over two hours to get to Jennifer’s house. It was a nice and easy drive, especially because I avoided tolls. Google Maps directed me and took me on every possible turn I probably could take. When I got there I was instructed by her sister to park on the other side of the street. After that I came in and met my friend for the first time in person and her son.

I arrived there around 9 am and IKEA opened at 10 and was a half an hour away (we decided to go to the one in Bolingbrook instead of Schaumburg) so that was good timing. We made a stop at the bank and I got a rundown on their town and community and then we were on our way. Her sister asked me questions about myself while she drove her mini-van. I think the biggest surprise for Jenn was how quiet I was (because I am very not quiet on my live streams).

Jen’s sister was very displeased that we were going to IKEA because she was not a fan of the store, but she dropped us off and spent some time with Jen’s son while waiting for us. The IKEA experience was a unique one as I quickly learned. You have to travel through the entire store to reach the end, which meant that there would be a lot of walking involved. Jenn remarked that it was much like walking through their catalog. Eventually we finally reached their work spaces area and I told her to sit and I would wander. Previous to this I had looked at their website and app catalog but was very unimpressed. Luckily I found two desks that would work but settled on one. It was much bigger than the previous one, but it also would allow ample space for everything and have extra space as well. Here is a photo of the display.

Unfortunately, there was only one salesperson working in the department. So once I finally decided on this desk I had to wait for him to be available. In the meantime, I posted the above photo on Twitter and Facebook to get opinions of my online peeps. All of them were very positive about my choice. I also sent the photo to DF and he approved also.

Finally, I salesperson was available and I told him I was interested in this model and the parts on display except the CPU storage. He started the order and let me know that they had all of it in stock except for the extension. He said that the Schaumburg store had it in stock, but I had no intention of going there and made plans mentally to get it online (even with big shipping cost). Throughout our time in the store, Jenn’s sister was texting her to find out how much longer we would be and very concerned about whether it would fit in the van. We then went to the warehouse pickup area and I tracked someone down to help me gather the boxes. I was extremely intimidated at the size of the tabletop and was very worried about fitting it in the van and then into my much smaller car. Eventually I got all my boxes and we were headed to the checkout.

After we finished checking out, we waited for the van and when she arrived the tricky part began. We had to figure out how to fit that very large tabletop into the van. We tried every possible angle until we finally got it in over the top of the backseats (which did not move or go down). Our only option allowed Jenn to sit in a seat and me (luckily being small enough) to sit on the floor. Her job was also to catch it when it slid so as not be get decapitated in the process. At this point I was getting very concerned about how this would fit in the car. I texted DF for ideas and he suggested that I ship it through The UPS Store. There was one not far from her house, so after a stop home to load the other pieces in my car we headed there in two vehicles.

UPS was extremely unhelpful. After helping us carry it in he measured it and told us it was oversized (obviously!) and could not be shipped. Great. The next plan was to see what we could do to fit it in the car and rope the hatch down. We stopped at a place called Meatheads where I had a very delicious chicken sandwich and the others had burgers and fries.

After lunch we headed back to the house to put the board in the garage because it was time to pick up her daughter at school. She was very sweet and very happy to finally meet me. She drew me this picture.

The next big challenge was figuring out how to get this tabletop into the car that was much smaller than the van. Sharon and I tried a few different angles to get it in but were not making much progress. We had Jenn come out to help but still didn’t make much progress. Then her son came out and he was very helpful. With his help we were able to get it in much more than it was so it would be much safer to drive home. She got permission to use her brother’s rope and worked together to rope it in using various knots and the various loops that were on the inside of the trunk. We ended up with a very successful rigging and I was very impressed with the result.

Once that was all set, I headed back in the house. Jenn’s daughter showed me her journals of stories. I knew that I needed to head out soon because of traffic and to ensure that I had enough extra time to get back. I headed out by 3:30 and felt a lot like the dog did.

I blasted the heat the whole way although it didn’t help that much considering the hatch was partially open. However it wasn’t as bad as being in the van with her son’s window being open the whole time! I tuned into the Catholic channel on Sirius and Lino Rulli entertained me the whole way home which made it a nice time. The only tricky part was that I didn’t have any visual behind me or in the blind spot so I relied on the side mirrors and prayed a lot. Somehow I made it home all the way by 6 pm and DF helped me unload. He was quite impressed with the roping job and I recounted the process of getting it to this point. I then headed out to Jimmy John’s for a quick dinner and then to chorus rehearsal.

I made a collage of the day’s experience in my photo for the day (using all of the above posted photos).

That summed up a very trying, frustrating and exhilarating first experience at IKEA. It was worth the adventure because I got to meet Jennifer and I scored a great desk (despite trials getting it home).

It is now three days later and I found myself with the day off due to the school having conferences and me not needing to be there (it pays to be a specialist!). What better opportunity to put this desk together! After watching my friend Cliff record an episode of Podcast Answer Man live, I started out on my big job of the day.

The first obstacle was to move all the computer equipment off the desk and then getting rid of this monstrosity. I had already removed the hutch on the top a few days earlier.

It fell apart just as I expected it would. It very easily split in half and I was then able to drag or walk the pieces into the hallway. I scratched the floor up a bit, but it’s fixable.

I then brought all the pieces into the office (sliding the tabletop and carrying the rest), unpacked them and tweeted that I ready to do this!

I listened to a few podcasts while working and then tuned my MBP into the live recording my friends Cliff and Stephanie were doing of their podcast Family From the Heart. They accompanied me through the remainder of the assembly process which was very smooth. Despite finding a few screws that didn’t fit in holes and a few other issues I had few problems putting it together. I only dropped a few pieces on myself so I only yelled a few times.

Eventually the process was complete and I was ready to flip the desk.

By that time it was almost 2 pm so I got some food for lunch and finished watching season 3 of The O.C. Once DF had returned home, he helped me flip the desk and remove the pieces of the old desk.

I then set up all the equipment back on the new workspace and I am so pleased with the result. I finally have more than enough space for everything and despite this desk being larger, it still works in the room. My boxes of books are more squished than before, but it all works very well.

I have ordered the additional piece that the store was out of so that is where the printer will go when it comes and I attach it. Today’s photo was a collage of all the above desk assembly photos above.

I am very grateful that this all worked out for the best and couldn’t be more pleased with how it all turned out. That wraps up a very long recap of the events of this week in acquiring my new desk and getting rid of the old one.

Before I wrap up, I would just like to say that I would LOVE to get rid of these boxes and boxes of books in this now even more cramped office. Would you buy a few books from my Amazon store? I would really appreciate it. Thanks for reading, following my adventures this week and a HUGE thank you to my beautiful friend Jennifer for hosting me earlier this week. I hope we are able to do it again soon since we didn’t get to do much more than to get my desk. You (and all the listeners) are THE BEST!

Steph

NOTE: This episode features the debut of my new equipment, but the audio level is very low. I didn’t notice this until after the episode was recorded. I hope you can handle this and it will be much better next week.

Over the last two years, I have been a dedicated podcaster recording on the cheap with the equipment on hand. For the first year (when I had a permanent co-host) I used a USB headset by Logitech. This was not a greatest sound quality but it was what I had to work with for the first year of the show.

In October of 2011, I finally upgraded to iPhone and started using the app iTalk to record and used the Apple headphones with microphone. I have told that the show sounds “very professional” despite the equipment I’ve been using.

Over the last several months, I have been able to consolidate my student loans (yippee!) and have cut down other expenses so I have finally been able to save for actual good equipment. I prepared myself by buying and then viewing Cliff Ravenscraft’s equipment tutorial to take a deeper look at what he uses for his shows and how to set it up. This was very helpful and helped me better understand what I would need. After building an Amazon wish list and saving up enough money for it, I took the plunge and got it all in one fell swoop.

I got fast shipping because of my Prime membership and yesterday UPS delivered a nice big box of equipment. Once again, as I did when my MacBook Pro arrived, I recorded a video to share the experience.
