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!

I'm gonna make a list that's all duplicates.

1. Community because of feels
2. Doctor Who for its amazing mashups
3. LOST because the Island is real
4. Fringe because of mashup feels
5. Dollhouse for the first truly polyphrenic character ever; and what ceciliaj said
6. Battlestar Galactica was a part of the plan
7. Buffy -- after all, this is what got it all started
8. The Good Wife because, uh, Alicia and Mr Big and, uh, mashup feels
9. Touch because of guilty pleasure feels
10. Life on Mars for Master worship, and going back

Okay, so one got in there by accident.

DOCTOR WHO! How could I have forgotten Doctor Who? Cheers to you for adding it!
