This post was written by my lovely wife, Sharon. It’s a list of her top ten favorite television programs of the decade. Her usual blog is devoted to topics related to veganism, so she didn’t think it was appropriate to post this there, and asked to guest post on incrementalism.net. I mostly agree with the choices, if not always the ranking, though I’m not a fan of Sex and the City or Glee, and I haven’t seen Oz. I definitely agree with the number one choice. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend renting the DVDs.
