Ken Tucker Puts Lost at #5 for the Year

Ken Tucker, Entertainment Weekly's chief TV critic, puts Lost at #5 on his 2008 top ten list. Tucker's not an obsessive like Jeff Jensen, but apparently he knows good TV when he sees it:

Unlike my idol-in-demystification, EW's Jeff "Doc" Jensen, I don't really understand most of What It All Means on the island or off. Frankly, it was all I could do to keep my head from exploding when the first flash-forward was introduced. What I do know is that Lost hit a new peak of emotional intensity last season, as well as a zooming narrative momentum that made many other geeky serialized dramas (that would be you, Heroes) look like laggardly snails. And I doubt that I'm alone in having found some of the newish characters, such as Jeff Fahey's growly pilot, welcome and vivid.

#1 on his list goes to a talk show, the superb Colbert Report. In between are The Wire, 30 Rock, and The Shield.
