Heh. Stealing form molly_may and queenofdenile
Day 01 - A show that never should have been canceled - trust I want to say Freaks & Geeks, but there is something somewhat comforting in thinking how PERFECT it is, as is, SO I will instead say Cupid fuck me was that show great in it's original incarnation. I'd trade everything Rob Thomas, Piven, and Marshall did since for at least five full seasons of that show. The runner up is also Wonderland which ABC gave all of TWO, 2 episodes to catch on. A show about how we treat the mentally ill on multiple levels, it was BRILLIANT and snuffed out way way too soon.
Day 02 - A show that you wish more people were watching - Community absolutely, they need the viewers like WHOA. "Bing, bong, sing a long. Your team's Al Gore cause your views are wrong!"
Day 03 - Your favorite new show (aired this TV season) - It's a very close battle between The Vampire Diaries and Community, but really only one has a strong whiff of incest so it wins!
Day 04 - Your favorite show ever - Freaks & Geeks, it's PERFECTION.
Day 05 - A show you hate - My So Called Life. Eh, I mostly just hate Angela Chase. She was the patron saint of Stupid Bitch TV, ergo, allow the creators to tell you over and over what a smart person the main girl is when she proves over and over and over an OVER again what an inarticulate, dumb, insufferable fucking COW she is. I will never get over her dumping Sharon, because, LIKE she dyed her hair RED y'all she is a rebel. And I'm supposed to like this stupid shallow dumb bitch?
Day 06 - Favorite episode of your favorite TV show - Freaks & Geeks, "Girlfriends & Boyfriends"
Day 07 - Least favorite episode of your favorite TV show - I will have to use a different show, I love all F&G eps almost equally. So um, Buffy, Tough Love, is hard man, hard to get through.
Day 08 - A show everyone should watch - Community. Again this show needs the love in a big way, unlike 30 Rock it doesn't have an SNL princess to buoy it through the hard times, so PLEASE to be watching. Joel McHale, is hot, Don Glover/Danny Pudi are consistently hilarious, and Allison Brie is romantic comedy gold.
Day 09 - Best scene ever - This isn't even a contest. Nick singing "Lady" to Lindsay, my beloved Oz and The Wire maybe brutally realistic in ways that scar you for years, but in terms of pure relation revelation? In terms of OMG I have been there, I have DONE that, I'm not sure any movie or tv show has ever EVER captured the tortured awkward pain of adolescence like Nick singing that to Lindsay. And it captured both sides equally well. Nick knows, he KNOWS it's all wrong, and stupid, but he can't help himself, it is everything in his heart and soul. Oh NICK. My Nick. And Lindsay, my Lindsay, she is so torn, he's hot, he's too intense, he's sweet, but TOO INTENSE, and how how do you react to something like that? OY the pain, the hilarity, the hilarious pain.
Day 10 - A show you thought you wouldn't like but ended up loving - Glee Oh man I wanted to hate Glee so hard. But damned if I didn't and still don't mostly think it's kind of brilliant. The acid tinged earnestness? Not many in this world can make both tones work, but I think Glee largely does. Mostly because I think it's true heart is black, and simply uses earnestness to make the medicine go down. Also it takes my FUCK PLOT mantra to an artform.
Day 11 - A show that disappointed you - OH man lately 30 Rock, Tina is coasting like a mofo.
Day 12 - An episode you've watched more than 5 times - Buffy, Smashed/Touched, and can I just say I love the ironic symmetry of both the titles and the themes?
Day 13 - Favorite childhood show - The Muppet Show! Those two old bastards in the balcony, cracking on shit, I owe them so much!
Day 14 - Favorite male character - Miguel Alvarez. Oh my puppy, so deliciously gender fucked and I weep for his tortured humanity, mostly cause Kirk Acevedo is just that good. And because he wants to get deep dicked by Ryan O'Reilly. So say we all!
Day 15 - Favorite female character - Beth, Newsradio. I endeavor to honor her every day.
Day 16 - Your guilty pleasure show - Housewives any season, any location.
Day 17 - Favorite mini series - The fuckin' Thornbirds yo. Priest fucking the woman he knew since she was five? What part of that I am not about?
Day 18 - Favorite title sequence - another Brilliant But Canceled Candidate: Tour of Duty, Paint It Black!"
Day 19 - Best TV show cast - Homicide: Life on the Streets every year until they hired in the same year Michael Michele/Jon Seda. Now I love Jon Seda in almost everything else but he was 20 flavors of AWFUL on H:LOTS. Otherwise Party of Five. Those bitches made me cry EVERY episode of S1.
Day 20 - Favorite kiss - Okay, I am allowed more than one: Buffy/Spike FTW in "Smashed", but that's a little bit more than a mere *kiss*, I am extremely fond of Beecher/Keller in Oz S2 CHRIST was that hot, but Jeff/Annie of Community are bringing serious serious competition for best all time kiss EVA. Both the Debate Kiss (spontaneous, and passionate) and the Finale Kiss (so deliberate, and handsy and deeeeeep) have been re-watched in ways The X-Files kisses have not, excepting that gag reel one from Fight the Future which WTF why did we never get an onscreen kiss like THAT? Because Carter was jealous of the real life chemistry and former fling Anderson/Duchovny had? Survey says...YES.
Day 21 - Favorite ship - This is an otherwise evil question I would refuse to answer, but MSR/Buffy-Spike/Alvarez-O'Reilly are the answer since I view them all as essentially the same dynamic.
Day 22 - Favorite series finale - I know no one will agree, but Veronica Mars.
Day 23 - Most annoying character - Angela fucking Chase. HATE.
Day 24 - Best quote - "You're not my mom Britta, she would never wear boots that go up that high." I LOVE bitchy jealous Annie, Community
Day 25 - A show you plan on watching (old or new) - The Shield. One. Day.
Day 26 - OMG WTF? Season finale - The Soprano's, yet I loved it.
Day 27 - Best pilot episode - I gotta go with Lost on this one. It was just cinematic, and Matt Fox was brilliant, and really REALLY hooks you.
Day 28 - First TV show obsession - Oh jeeze, showing my age Sunday, Monday, Happy Days. Tuesday, Wednesday, Happy Days. Thursday, Friday, Happy Days! Yeah I loved Happy Days.
Day 29 - Current TV show obsession - The Vampire Diaries Totally.
Day 30 - Saddest character death - Leon, Oz, season 1. I just....nothing has every broken me so completely. Tom Fontana is just so so so EVIL, like way more evil than Joss. I mean it's a show about people in prison you don't go into it thinking REDEMPTION cakes, and yet you find yourself so so invested in Jefferson Keane's redemption. He FEELS the fire, he EMBRACES his death sentence, despite it being a complete INJUSTICE. And yet he's set up to fail, that is the KILLER the absolute KILLER of Oz so many people in jail have been curbed like that their entire lives, yes they had choices, sucky limited, bullshit choices, and they mostly are where they are because they have no money and power to get themselves OUT. Out of the ghetto, out of jail, and those people who DO get out, lucky or determined, determined or lucky, same diff, fate, there is only enough free will to make it interesting, but no where near enough for me to condemn people for their "choices" like I'm supposed to, according to religion or the law.
