Check out all our lists for BuddyTV's Top 7 of '07 to relive the best and the worst of the year in television.


Sheriff Don Lamb (Michael Muhney) was one of the unsung heroes on that gem of a teenage noir series Veronica Mars. Although Lamb didn't have the investigative chops to compete with either Mars, Keith or Veronica (Enrico Colantoni and Kristen Bell) in the field, he had enough bluster and bravado to never back down from them and to counter all their quips with equally sarcastic snarks of his own.

And so, it was with deep sadness for us viewers, who have grown to love to hate Lamb, when he finally bit the big one, felled by Richard Grieco's baseball bat in the episode "Mars, Bars." Sheriff Lamb went out on a M*A*S*H-inspired note, with his infamous last words: "I smell bread." And with that, he went up to see the big Wizard in the sky.
