Unless it's Homicide those last two years. Lord, what they did to my show. Will have to confront my fear of Westerns and the absolute lack of color on the show and try out Deadwood.(Funny gripe from somebody who was sad when they painted the squad in Homicide, but I liked it old and funky.) That will never happen on the Wire...they'll always work out of crowded shitholes. And I like it that way.
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.
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.
Change "loved" to "hated" and "but" to "and" and I'm 100% on board.
Michael Fairman, who played Niska on Firefly, was the guest star on the 'KRP turkeys ep & he co-wrote five episodes with Richard "Les Nessman" Sanders. And Sam "Holland Manners" Anderson was the INS (FBI?) guy in the one where the Russian guy fell in love with Bailey & tried to defect.
I'm paralyzed by decision-making so no list for me, but I love most of your favorites (Aaron Sorkin notwithstanding). And the first 3/4 of S2 Angel was the show's peak. I'll throw in another 'verse crossover, Ron "Call him Book but he'll always be Harris to me" Glass's real claim to glory, Barney Miller.
Barney Miller
Ah, there's another it's been so long since I've seen I can't trust my memories.
However - Let's go down to the beach and shoot some clams! Mooshy mooshy mooshy!
Dammit, I'm leaving and going to miss the rollover!
Have a nice new thread bash!
I've got the new thread ready to go.
Just as soon as someone rolls over the thread.
Heh. So do I.
Ha!
Go for it.
