Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan  

Closed Threads

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.

"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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

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.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Sports Night.

'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.

t /has Sorkin issues

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Huh. I do love the show, but there are many people that I would have put in front of me on the SportsNight love.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Also also, on topic, what should I listen to by Of Montreal?

Satanic Panic in the Attic and The Bedside Drama: A Petite Tragedy (which is out of print and may be hard to find) are my picks. The former is more accessible. It took me one or two listens to warm up to it, but once it hooked me, I was addicted. Listened to it all summer.
