As 2011 draws to a close, THR’s chief television critic, Tim Goodman, weighs in on the best that the small screen had to offer this year. Among his picks are a few fan favorites (Boardwalk Empire, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) and others that sadly won’t be returning in 2012 (Friday Night Lights, Men of a Certain Age).

9. Modern Family (ABC)

Even when it doesn’t have its best stuff, Modern Family is still that rare sitcom that can always get a number of good laughs. And when it does have its best stuff, you’re looking at a real gem — a show that’s big-tent funny to a vast array of people with different tastes. That’s truly impressive.
