I had a whole section about civic pride.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's from Let The Right One In.

Our wings are not tired.

even though we didn't actually get TV guide.

Wow, what did you use?? The newspaper? ESTVP?

We never got TVGuide as a kid, but the Washington Post used to include a TV listings magazine-style insert in the Sunday sections. (Maybe it still does - I haven't lived in DC since high school.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's from Let The Right One In.

Oh cool! I've been meaning to see that. Is it out on DVD yet?

Yes, according to DH. Apparently we own it. (I have no idea what media comes into my home. I just see the shelves continue to sag under the weight of boxed sets.)

My high school TV viewing was slightly more me, less Parentals: Trek (TNG), ENG (was that high school or was it college? I think it was high school), Kids in the Hall, The Red Green Show, Red Dwarf, Blackadder, Doctor Who (which was a constant from the fourth doctor to the seventh, frankly, and I'm shocked I left it off list the first), Are You Being Served?, that one with the old dudes with antique stores, Twin Peaks, Lovejoy, Parker Lewis Can't Lose, Beverly Hills 90210, QVC (I loved him first, you Mike Rowe come latelys! This one time, with this neon wall sign of a rainbow and clouds? OMG, he cracked me up. "Turn it on, sunny. Turn it off, cloudy!"), National Finals Rodeo, the nightly horse racing recap show (local), Bombshelter Video, 120 Minutes, Liquid Television.

Wow. I watched a lot of TV.

I think I just didn't sleep.

There was a supplement that came with the newspaper. And, until I was 12 or so, we only had 3 channels. After that, we only still had 12 channels, so there wasn't that much to remember.

I can't believe I forgot about the late-night BBC-via-PBS shows! I watched all of these except Blackadder, which wasn't on my local station's British rotation.

I left a few off, like Waiting for God (which I can't remember when I watched again), and that one with Judi Dench. OH! Yes, Minister. I was a HUGE Yes, Minister fan.

Pretty much anything with Penelope Keith was on my to watch list.
