The Best & Worst of 2025 Television

About this episode

Paul and Wayne review the best and worst television of 2025 as they wrap up the year.

Countdown #509 Just in time for the new year of film and television, Paul and Wayne return to begin their wrap up of the year that was 2025. And, as always, they begin with their lists of the best and worst of television! Was it a banner year for TV? Will future generations look back and marvel at what we were able to watch from the comfort of our couches through 2025? Or is this one of those years that will slip into obscurity without anything to truly set it apart from the decades of television that came before it? Does the good outweigh the bad? Or is there more to lambast than there is to praise? There's only one way to find out - at least, if you care about anything Wayne and Paul have to say - and that's to hit the play button and sit back to enjoy The Countdown, as it (intermittently!) continues...
