'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
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.
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.
So did WKRP in Cincinnati, one of my favorites.
As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.

Possibly the funniest line ever uttered.
God, I hate this list-making crap. I always forget something (And y'all made the dots. Commander Burrell would be pleased.)
In more or less chronological order:
I guess that's all of the shows that I've been rabid over. I don't actually watch a whole lot of TV, but there's plenty of stuff I've been meaning to check out on DVD.
edit: ha! Long-delayed x-post re: Sports Night. Love that show. I haven't watched enough West Wing to love it the same.
Sports Night is on my Netflix queue.
And Veronica Mars should probably go on my list, too.
I like Rescue Me, but I've only caught a few episodes.
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.
Not me. I find DLM pretty sickly-sweet. I liked Wonderfalls much more towards the end of the season, but it was still too inconsistent for my list.
And my long-gone touring band used to throw out that final song from WKRP occasionally.
As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.
I hope someday I actually see the episode from whence this came, because I have to say, it has utterly failed to inspire hilarity in me as a stand-alone. I trust you all, though, that it is in fact very funny in context.
And I should have included Northern Exposure on my list for sure. Probably also Twin Peaks, but I've only seen maybe 1/3 of the episodes, so can't say for sure.
Yeah, I'm not sure RM will make that list, but just to be safe, not laminating it yet. It is shaping up to be better show than expected and how often can you say that? Not enough. I would put WF and and MSCL on a "Too Young to Die" list.
Veronica Mars and Rescue Me are both shows that are still babies but I am willing to put them on the all time tina favorite show list. I am as giddy about them as I was about Buffy.
One of my favorite runs of a show of all time though, next to Buffy season two, was season one of Party of Five. I could write MANY MANY pages about how effing fantastic Party of Five was in its first season (it was pre Jennifer Love Hewitt people). No other show has done such a nosedive into suckville like that one did. Dear god how I loved. that. show.

You will laugh a lot.
