OUTSTANDING COMEDY SERIES
The common perception is that we're in a Golden Age of drama, with the likes of "The Sopranos", "Breaking Bad" and "Mad Men" taking TV to new heights. But with those shows all coming to end, it seems like it's time for the comedies to get their due attention. As a Vulture article explained earlier this year, the internet has helped to foster the Second Comedy Boom, and from the look of groundbreaking shows like "Louie", "Inside Amy Schumer" and "Transparent", I'm definitely inclined to agree. There's so much variety to choose from these days, as the definition of comedy is constantly being redefined (the new Emmy rules had a lot to say about that!). This diversity is certainly reflected the 10 shows that made my ballot this year...
