I'm sure this will change a thousand times. I picked New Girl over Happy Endings for comedy because while I still kind of prefer the latter, the former had a better season overall.

Ugh, there were so many good performances this year I've already changed my list like 3 times.

Drama - Breaking Bad
Runner up 1) Game of Thrones
2) Mad Men
--
3) Walking Dead
4) Homeland

Comedy - Arrested Development - Mitch and crew once again show that the best of today's best can't even hang with them.
1) Louie
2) It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
3) 30 Rock
4) New Girl

Animated - Legend of Korra - I can't even remember when this aired but it was the best. Need new eps now.
1) Archer
2) South Park
3) Futurama
4) Bob's Burgers

New show - Nathan For You
1) Legit

Cancelled show - Unsupervised
1) Ben & Kate
