[!@#$%!]

i hate most tv but i really liked buffy-- the most absurd mix of comedy & melodrama.

is it a "classic"? well it's been dead now & living through reruns. i have the feeling people are going to be watching it for ages.

the first 3 seasons of the west wing were fucking spectacular. best dialogue ever. but then aaron sorkin was busted with crack & the show was taken over by hacks. behold the power of cracksmoking when done by the right people!

freaks & geeks - ive only seen on dvd.

and northern exposure. i've been hot for o'connell since i ever laid eyes on her.

is all this "classic"? how far back does one have to go? 50's tv shows depress me. 60's-- maybe some cult stuff?

oh and monty python of course. how could i have forgotten.

ah! and red dwarf. british tv is far superior to american in most cases, in spite of the general poverty of its means. for example, compare the glory of i claudius (no crowds, no effects, not even a proper circus) with roman-themed hack american productions.

on that note, i never watched the american version of "the office", because i was convinced it would only piss off & frustrate me.

and that is that is that is that.
