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 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 love that Lauren asks what TV people should watch, and your response is "DAWN." :)

...Oh, LOL, would you believe I didn't even notice that Lauren (I did not know that was your name btw, HELLO, I'M ZOE) asked about giving our choices about what to watch as well, because I got so excited over the fact that somebody knew what Press Gang was. We literally met like five minutes ago, and I judge people by whether they like Dawn (people, Spike likes Dawn, are you really going to question Spike's tastes?), so notice how I insidiously, VERY SUBTLY got that in, in a post that had nothing to do with it ;)

ALSO, IN THOSE FIVE MINUTES I HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT CAPSLOCK EVERYTHING IN FANNISH GLEE. I obv need to work at how I come across on ze internetz. /what is my life D:

I approve of this screening method. I was at a Buffy sing-a-long a few months back, and people in the audience were booing Dawn, and my friend had to talk me out following them to their cars and beating them up in the parking lot.

True story.

YOU ARE AN EPIC PERSON OBVIOUSLY.

Since I just saw the show for the first time this December, I really haven't been in fandom at all (I thought Cordy/Angel was the popular ship in AtS and everyone's like 'oh bb'), so I've just heard about the Dawn-hate, and it makes me DD: And there's probably tons of Buffy hate going around as well. IDEK, occasionally I'm glad I'm so late to the game and don't have time to lose it in fandom (I'm not so glad when I want to be all discussiony and it's like ten years too late, heh)

Ha ha. Well, I got into Buffydom for Spike, but Dawn is and will always be my girl. :)

A++++ to that, sir.

I adore Spike with every fibre of my being. He's such an incredibly, amazing character and so ~intense and absolutely ridiculous at the same time. I can't even imagine writing him and doing him justice
