amazing race vs. all the new girls

My favorite tv shows of 2011:

10. House Hunter International
9. The Chew
8. Cougar Town
7. So You Think You Can Dance
6. Ringer
5. New Girl
4. Hart of Dixie
3. Modern Family
2. Revenge
1. Amazing Race

This fall saw the debut of four rocking shows headlined by rocking girls. Emily Vancamp and Rachel Bilson and Zooey Deschanel and SMG - almost too much goodness for a boy to stand, and they are all in extremely enjoyable shows. Ringer and Revenge are as addictive as crack (or potato chips, whichever floats your boat). New Girl is hilarious. And Hart of Dixie will charm the shorts of you (if you watch that show - you will get the joke).

But after all these years, it's still Amazing Race that gets me all excited about sitting down in front of the tv. It is the one show that I will always watch real time (instead of Tivo time). Sure, it's been a long while since a team I was rooting for actually ended up winning (boo to Ernie & Cindy winning, or more accurately boo to Cindy winning - Ernie seems totally cool), but I am always in for a vicarious ride around the world.
