What are these "Fuzzy Awards", you ask? Why, they are a complete mental fabrication, of course! You see, I pretend to have given these made-up awards to all the TV shows I watched last year. I call these awards "Fuzzys", after the title of this here blog. Just think of them as my imaginary Emmys. However, unlike the Emmys, not all the categories presented here are positive, recognizable, or even sensical.
In any case, the Fuzzys are currently divided into three different genres: Comedy, Sci-Fi, and Seriocomedy. For this entry, let's just focus on the
