Yes, that's the case with all non survey-based "best-of" lists in any magazine or website. But Time includes it as one of their lists of Top 10 Everything of 2012:

I love Girls... it will probably be in my personal Top 5 even.  What I don't care about are the NBC comedies. Curiously, my favorite Modern Family is not on the list.

Interesting. I personally prefer many of NBC's low rated comedies to ABC's and CBS' more popular hits.

I pretty much don't like Amy Pohler. We should have our own list or have a poll.
