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.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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 knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine
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.

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