Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

And L.Q. Jones is just a yellow-bellied redneck peckerwood, anyway.
Yeah, but COFFERNTC4EVA!!!!
On a serious note, I agree with all of your list I'm familiar with (including the specific Buffy seasons, though I prefer Angel 2 to 4). I'd have to have Monty Python's Flying Circus in there somewhere, since you aren't excluding British shows. Probably at least one of the Futurama seasons, if not more, and also I'd have to have Firefly despite the premature demise. Oh, and Farscape 2 and 3, not to mention DS9 somewhere.
Damn, and Twin Peaks despite the wheels coming off.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Let's see some more lists.
- Prime Suspect 1
- Sopranos
- Pee Wee's Playhouse
- Mary Tyler Moore Show
- Buffy S1-4
- Fawlty Towers
- Monty Python's Flying Circus
- Northern Exposure (first 3 or 4 seasons)
- Simpsons (S2-5)
- Freaks and Geeks
- Firefly
- Singing Detective (as I've noted ad nauseum, I saw the whole thing originally in a movie theater).
I'm only through the first box set of Homicide so I don't feel qualified to rank it yet. Still haven't seen The Wire or Deadwood, though I'll get to it. I'm waffling on Wonderfalls. It's a very strong 13 ep run, but in some ways I prefer Dead Like Me, even though it's less consistent. Angel S2 probably belongs on the list, but to be honest I'm a much bigger Buffy and Firefly fan. Also, I think Angel had incredibly inconsistent seasons and only in S2 did it really have an unqualified run of greatness.
Hill Street Blues, until Esterhaus died
Ooh, good call.
Also I need...
- Farscape S1-3 (plus mini) on the list.
Probably at least one of the Futurama seasons
Damn, and Twin Peaks despite the wheels coming off.
Shit! Yeah, Futurama and Twin Peaks would rank for me.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
This is the music thread, right?
I can't believe nobody has mentioned Sports Night.

Yeah, so did I, though my Peewee watching was spotty at best.

We don't have a generic TV thread (yet). Besides, almost all of those shows had music.

'Cuz Dana and Perkins don't hang out here very often. Shrift might be by, though.

I loved Sports Night but Aaron Sorkin used the same schtick over and over - I think SorkinEra!West Wing is actually a better show but it suffered the same fate.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

So did WKRP in Cincinnati, one of my favorites.
