TV Shows of 2020 Ranked
by whittleryan3799-885-666778 | created - 22 Jan 2020 | updated - 29 May 2022 | PublicEvery season of TV that aired in 2020, ranked from best to worst. TV shows that began their season in 2019 and concluded in 2020 will also be included.
There are some shows that I have seen but not included. I have watched some shows in which the season lasted longer than twenty episodes, but wasn’t sure how to rank these shows among the others or how to give it a rating. Reality shows, soap operas, talk shows and panel comedy shows have not been included for the same reason.
