I watched New Amsterdam and Moonlight. And kind of enjoyed both.
Wild monkey love or tender Sarah McLachlan love?

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Because books.
For instance, Millennium was a better show than the X-Files (at least for the first two seasons, and the third was far less damaging retroactively than the last few seasons of X-Files).
Wheeee! I loved Millenium.
Family Guy has made me giggle a few times, but mostly it's watch-from-the-hall for me. I think I've only seen Futurama maybe twice.
I watched My So-Called Life way back in first run, but I don't think I caught the whole run. I did like it very much, though.

Hey. New board.
Arrested Development, The Office, 30 Rock, and The Colbert Report
*Blink*
Okay, I can see this, even as I do not feel it.
My potentially devastating TV proclivities: um. I love Gossip Girl more than anything, was bored by Slings and Arrows, stopped caring about Pushing Daisies pretty quickly, only made it through the pilot of Drive, and kind of enjoy watching America's Next Top Model and So You Think You Can Dance? I've never watched an entire episode of the X-Files (though someday, I swear, it'll be Netflixed). So... not too bad, in this group.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I'm not a "Freaks and Geeks" fan either. Heresy, I know. I watched 3 episodes and it was like pulling teeth out of my head.

Matt,
FWIW - I thought "The Colbert Report" for the first couple of eps was BORING. But then I picked it up after a couple of months and I'm fucking sold. The ep with Colbert and Sean Penn is magic.
I'm not lying. It is really funny. I thought Penn lost his sense of humor, but that is not the case.

FWIW, the new Futurama movie is as good as any of the good episodes, plus canonical tentacle porn....

My friend and I went to see a taping of The Colbert Report pretty close to when it started (we got tickets with only a week's notice) and when people get impressed by it, we always explain that it was before it was funny.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The only episode of Law and Order I've ever seen has been a Homicide crossover. Any kind of Law and Order. Ever.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
OK, let's just air all our potentially heretical TV proclivities.
HIMYM is utterly conventional. The stuff they do with narrative is nice, but does not in any way overcome how whiny and high-pitched all their actors are; it can't be a good show when people will readily agree that the lead sucks.
(And that's not heresy, that just needs to be said.)
