The 20 Best Shows of 2016

"We didn't know quite what to expect from The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story. Ryan Murphy has given us everything from Glee to American Horror Story, but would he be cut out to give us a fresh take on the O.J. Simpson case? The answer was an astounding "yes," as the show won nine Emmys in 2016, including ones for three of its actors, and one for outstanding limited series. We're still thinking about Sarah Paulson's turn as hardened prosecutor Marcia Clark." — Maggie Pehanick, editor, Entertainment
