    Here are my picks for the best and the worst. Keep in mind I haven't seen every movie, TV show, or video game:

    TV

    Best New TV Show: Deadwood (Lost is a close second).

    Best TV Show: The Sopranos (24 season three needed some work, but is my #2 pick)

    Worst TV Show: Not one show, but the whole reality show fad. (If they aren't careful, the forensic crime shows could be the worst fad of 2005.)

    Movies

    Okay, Keep in mind I don't see movies until they come out on DVD or cable. If you have some current picks let me know and I will watch for them (or watch out for them, as the case may be).

    Best Movie: Return of the King

    Worst Movie: Hulk

    Video Games

    Wow! It was such a good year for video games.

    Best Game: The Sims 2

    Worst Game: Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 (I just got this in my Xmas stocking. What a bitter disappointment! It really sucks! It has some redeeming qualities, but the interface is absolutely terrible. It isn't anywhere as fun as the original.)

    Personalities

    The Best: Christopher Reeve (even in his death he had something to say to educate us)

    The Worst: Janet Jackson? Martha Stewart? Hmm. Pretty bad! But the worst has to be Michael Jackson.

    What are your picks based on what you've seen?

    I'd agree that the best new movie overall was probably 'Return of the King', although there were several others that I enjoyed a lot, including 'Lost In Translation', 'Spiderman 2', 'Hidalgo', 'Hellboy'. Best new show for me would be 'Arrested Development', followed by 'Joey', I hope both are allowed to remain on air long enough to develop an audience. 'Desperate Housewives' is also good, but it doesn't make me laugh nearly so much. Worst shows would be the 'Simple Life' shows, followed by 'Fear Factor'. Best Game I played was 'Uru-Path of the Shell', although I admit I didn't get into it as much as earlier Myst games such as 'Riven'. Still, the visual and audio qualities were simply outstanding. For me, worst personality would go to Scott Peterson, hands down. The Janet Jackson incident was kind of inconsequential.

    best tv show i enjoyed was "dead like me" on shotime I absolutely agree - I'm new to it after missing every episode bar the pilot and it's terrific stuff! My favourite film of the year was Shaun of the Dead.
