Every year I look forward to the new American TV season and wonder which shows I will still be watching over the next few years. After a disappointing 2010-2011 season, where none of the new shows were worthy of a second look, I'm relieved to say that the 2011-2012 season was much much better. With the 2011-2012 season coming to an end in May, we can now separate the winners from the losers. Out of all the shows that debut in the 2011-2012 season, below are the ones I watched 'till the end of the season (or 'till the show got cancelled) and feel are the best or worst of the year:

2) Touch (FOX)
