So here we are again, the last Best/Worst list for 2008. This time it’s the Best/Worst TV Shows of 2008.

As 2008 comes to a close it’s time to re-visit my Best/Worst list. Like any good blogger out there it’s almost mandatory that we create some sort of list so here it goes. Btw, there was so much crap and good stuff out there that I’m just going to do a recap of 2008’s high’s and lows.
First off is the Best/Worst Movies of 2008. There were some mighty fine movies released last year, and there were some pure steaming piles of shit. Let’s take a look at them, but remember that each list is in no particular order… and most importantly, these are movies I’ve seen. I’m sure there are some better/crappier ones out there, but I haven’t seen them yet.

BERLIN, Germany (AP) – A man jumped into the Berlin zoo enclosure of famed polar bear Knut on Monday, but officials were able to keep the animal away from the intruder by distracting him with a leg of beef, police said. The 37-year-old man jumped over a fence into a water-filled ditch at the edge of the bear’s enclosure Monday morning, police said in a statement.
Zoo keepers, who had just let Knut into his outdoor enclosure, were able to lure the bear back into his cage by producing a leg of beef.
Police said the man, a German, was less cooperative, initially ignoring instructions to leave the enclosure. He was led away unharmed but, although he was soaked and cold, he refused to undergo a medical checkup.
Police said that, before being let go, the man told them that he felt lonely and the bear appeared lonely, too.
Knut, now age 2, was hand-raised after his mother rejected him at birth. He rose to stardom early last year as a cute white ball of fluff, but has since grown rapidly into a hulking 440-pound (200-kilogram) predator.
