The 2011-2012 televsion season has officially ended, and I know you have all been waiting with bated breath for my selections of the best episodes of the year for each particular show.  Rest assured, you will be sated soon.

On tap this year, in alphabetical order, are: American Dad!, Archer, Awake, Beavis and Butt-head, The Big Bang Theory, Bob’s Burgers, The Cleveland Show, Community, Desperate Housewives, Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23, Family Guy, Fringe, Futurama, Glee, Gossip Girl, Happy Endings, How I Met Your Mother, The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Key & Peele, The Middle, Modern Family, Napoleon Dynamite, New Girl, The Office, Parks and Recreation, Portlandia, Raising Hope, Saturday Night Live, The Secret Circle, The Simpsons, Suburgatory, 30 Rock, Up All Night, and The Walking Dead.  And if I can manage to watch every episode of Girls (HBOOOOOO!!!) by its season finale date of June 17, you can add Lena Dunham and Co. to the mix.

For the record, I was a regular viewer of 2 Broke Girls, but I gave up on it about halfway through the season, and I also watched all 7 episodes of the entire series of Allen Gregory, but I will not be covering that show, as it was horrible.

Accompanying the best episode write-ups this year will be brief overall season analyses.

As per usual, I will post in chronological order, according to when each show aired its season finale, so Futurama is up first.
