inspired by certain discussions i've been having...

Okay, if y'all could force all of your friends (define "force" however you want: emotional blackmail, actual blackmail, duct tape, guns, whatever) to watch certain shows, what would they be? Here are my top 10.

1. Friday Night Lights, because it is a work of art and will make you a better person. I know I am given to hyperbole, but when I say that it's a work of art, I mean that it is a work of art.
2. The last three seaons of Buffy. I mean, I guess you need to see the first four to really get why the last three are so important, but I really just love the last three and they're the ones I watch over and over lbr.
3. Coffee Prince, because I genuinely think everyone in the whole wide world would like it. It's so lovable.
4. Parks and Rec because of happiness.
5. Press Gang, because no one but [livejournal.com profile] redsilverchains has seen it, and I have a lot of feelings I would work out in fic/flail form if there was a fandom for this show. Also: Lynda Day.
6. The Black Donnellys because best pilot ever and also heartbreaking brothers and Jenny Reilly is the best.
7. Designing Women because I'm pretty sure it's what made me a feminist. Also: best characters ever.
8. Miranda, because it is delightful and will make you all happy.
9. Shut Up! Flower Boy Band! because I want all the fic and I don't understand why there isn't a fandom.
10. The Good Wife, to convince you that it's possible for a lawyer show to be good. A lawyer show on one of the main networks, no less.

Play with me!

You'd be right D: Spike may actually be my favorite character, I love him so much, and he's so, so not-the-hero; IDEK, IT'S ALL VERY CONFUSING, I REFUSE TO CHOOSE.

Actually, I'm shocked! Nobody I know has seen Press Gang. Except for [livejournal.com profile] unoriginal_liz who got me into it, a long time ago. But seriously, Lynda Day is exceptionally flawless, js.

I KNOOOOOOOOW. One of my favorite things about him!

Oh, I was sincerely shocked! Very few people have seen it! Lynda Day is the best.
