Over the last week, The Chicago Code fans came out and voted for their show as the best finale of the season. It definitely was one of the best of the season. Now we want to get your thoughts on what show had the best season overall. Share your nominations in the comments and then we will use your picks to put together the poll for next week.
Here are some nominations from my fellow Clackers!
Brittany: The Chicago Code hands down for me. This isn’t only just my favorite show of this season, it quickly has become one of my favorite shows period. This is the rare show that makes me excited about TV as a medium, that gets me giddy when promos come on during commercials, and leads me to throw the remote at anyone talking while it’s on. It also introduced me to one of my favorite actors in Jason Clarke.
Brett: Supernatural. After entering amidst fears that Kripke stepping down would somehow spell doom, this season has been excellent.
Deb: I agree with Brett about Supernatural. Season six’s awesomeness was such a pleasant surprise to me. Somehow Sera Gamble was able to take a show that was imagined for only five seasons and carve out a remarkable season six that managed to continue the character growth that I love so much about Supernatural. I mean, she figured out where to go after the apocalypse … need I say more?
Kona: Parenthood kept on getting better and better throughout this season. The casting director for that show is a genius, and I loved seeing the Friday Night Lights alums.
Rachel: Parenthood. I haven’t seen the movie (and I really need to get on that!), but the show does an excellent job of honestly portraying not only the joys, but the constant battles/struggles of dealing with family. It isn’t over-acted or melodramatic, just real. And it has a stellar cast. Some of my favorites are Peter Krause and Lauren Graham, but almost every single cast member is recognizable.
Michael: Y’all are wacky. Hands down, best show of the season — for the ADD-suffering, spent-from-the-week-and-the-weekend, “I just needs something to cap my Sunday night and not think about anything for a change … can’t I just get that?” set — is, hands down, Bob’s Burgers.
Bob: The Good Wife showed just how good procedurals can be when treated correctly (and this is coming from a procedural hater). The writing and acting is brilliant, with many subtle, nuanced performances. The cases of the weeks are always interesting and surprisingly unique for a legal drama while there is enough to reward loyal viewership.
Chuck: I’d have to say either Fringe or The Vampire Diaries (gosh, and Supernatural too). Both of them kept me wanting to see the next episode immediately, but I almost have to give the edge to TVD simply because each episode maintained the storyline/mythology from one episode to the next (i.e. no stand-alone episodes). For sheer, giddy entertainment from week to week, I’d have to say The Vampire Diaries.
Deb: Yeah, I really loved TVD too, and your description is spot-on: sheer, giddy entertainment. I like it!
Jen: Raising Hope. Not many things make me laugh out loud, but that show makes me cry. I adore it.
Chuck: Oh, Raising Hope! Consistently funny all season, great cast (Martha Plimpton is amazing, Cloris Leachman can steal a scene without uttering a word, and they have the cutest TV baby ever!), great supporting cast of characters, completely off the wall and still has a little bit of the warm fuzzies at the end (but not enough to make it sappy).
Those are a few of our nominations for best show from this season, what do you think was the best? I will use some of the comments here or from Facebook in the poll post.

JEOPARDY!!!!
OK, but seriously folks. Fringe has to be on my list, as does Chicago Code.
(Since we’re only looking at network shows, my favorite of the year, Stargate Universe, isn’t applicable)
Count my votes for Fringe and SGU!
Best show of the season? Hands down, no questions about it – FX’s Justified. Absolutely fantastic.
Terriers
the Chicago Code
*POST AUTHOR*
For these nominations, we are looking for network shows (CBS,NBC,ABC,FOX,CW). We will be doing a separate poll for cable shows once a few more finish their seasons (GoT, The Killing, Camelot, etc). I’m sure Terriers, Justified, and SGU will all make that poll.
. . . . .
Yeah!
Why wasn’t Jeopardy on there … ?!?
Parks and Recreation! Near-perfect season!
Bones first, Castle second best. :)
1. Friday Night Lights
2. Parks and Recreation
3. Fringe
4. Terriers
5. Games of Thrones
6. The Big Bang Theory
7. The Good Wife
8. Raising Hope
9. Cougar Town
10. Mad Men
Chicago Code
definitely The Chicago Code!
Since I don’t watch any of these other shows, it would definitely have to be Chicago Code. I’m still baffled as to why FOX canceled it.
I really enjoyed The Vampire Diaries. I couldn’t wait from week to week. All the actors are great. I can’t wait for season 3.
By far – The Chicago Code!

3-way tie: Chicago Code/The Good Wife/Parenthood
Definitely Chicago Code. Best show in a long time on regular television.
THE CHICAGO CODE BY FAR!!!!!
Chicago code!!!!!
CHICAGO CODE was the best new drama & I really hope someone picks it up for next season!!!!
The Chicago Code (which definitely needs to be revived) and The Good Wife… Both were brilliant and nail biting. All around great t.v.
The Chicago Code
Definitely, The Chicago Code was the best. It was so much more than all the “boilerplate” type series. Please bring it back!
Absolutely, the Chicago Code… And Criminal Minds Suspect Behavior. Amazing characters and stories on both.
Hands Down, The Chicago Code was the best show on television – A smart, thrilling cop show about a great city that was basically the only good show Fox had in their lineup. And it was cancelled and replaced with a show about dinosaurs…..yeah that makes total sense. BRING CHICAGO CODE BACK!!!!
The Chicago Code
Chicago Code is the best show I have seen in years. Everyone I get to watch it on Comcast’s free Video On Demand say WOW what a GREAT SHOW…how did I miss this…
CHICAGO CODE!!
Without a doubt, Chicago Code!
Chicago Code. Fox can still right their wrongs.
Chicago code!
Definitely the Chicago code!! Awesome!
Chicago Code!
The Vampire Diaries hands down! Phenomenal season & the writers/cast kept their A game up all the way through.
I also love Game of Thrones & The Big Bang Theory.
Da Code, hands down
The Chicago Code…easy
Drama: The Chicago Code…easy top choice for me (Am way behind on FNL, but if it was even close to 1st season quality, they’re in a close race. Not sure if it entirely counts as a network show anyway.)
Comedy: Parks and Recreation with Community coming in a close 2nd.
Archer. No doubt, no contest.
The Chicago Code
Hands down, the Chicago Code!
The Chicago Code…
Chicago Code/The Good Wife/Parenthood
All show the damages on the family of infidelity, and the addictive part of it. They also show, you can see the effects on the family members (behavior) even more than on the addict. The family member of the addict also act out in a way that is damaging to themselves and those around them. Well done so subtle, I wonder if anyone else saw it. All this happened w/out any help for any of the family members or addicts.
The Chicago Code FTW
Chicago Code rocks!!! I hope those wonderful people who decide our television fate realize what a disservice it would be to take such an amazing show off the air.
Chicago Code!
Now lets send this to Fox and Netflix. :)
Chicago Code!
Definitely The Chicago Code. Loved the acting, story line, and gritty urban setting.
The Chicago Code
The Chicago Code, Fringe, CSI, NCIS
The Chicago Code, By Far the Best!!!
The Chicago Code was the best thing to come along on TV for a very long time. What a shame it wasn’t even given a fair chance (airing opposite the ever-mega-popular Dancing with the Stars) and was canceled after only one season. Let’s BRING BACK THE CHICAGO CODE!
Chicago Code!!!
Chicago Code!!
chicago code Best in a looooooooooong time
Best show Chicago Code!
Chicago Code by far was the best show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HANDS DOWN, NO COMPETITION FER IT!!!! THE CHICAGO CODE!! ONLY REASON I TURN MY TV ON. AND I LOOK FORWARD TA IT ON MY DAY OFF!!! FOX DISAPPOINTED ME BIG TIME. I DROP EVERYTHIN TA WATCH THE CHICAGO CODE!!! MY BOSS WOULD FILL IN FER ME IF WE WERE SHORT ON MONDAY’S SO I COULD WATCH THE CHICAGO CODE!!!! BRING IT BACK!!!
Chicago code!
CHICAGO CODE OF COURSE!!!
Chicago Code
Chicago Code! Absolutely
Chicago Code
The Chicago Code. A theme song by Billy Corgan, and it only got better from there
No contest, Chicago Code. Not just best show of the season, best show of the past decade. What a huge disappointment it will not be coming back.
