infinitejestDay 04 - Your favorite show ever
I find myself helpless to answer this question. Whenever I am asked my favorite of something, I either need incredibly specific parameters (see yesterday's "favorite new show (aired this TV season)"1) or I will give you a list comprised of anywhere from a few to many items. My tastes are varied and my passion given without reserve to the things I enjoy. I have no one favorite author, no one favorite book, no one favorite song, no one favorite film, and certainly no one favorite TV show. What a strangely different person I would be if I did!
So, among my favorite TV shows ever, I count:
Babylon 5
Angel the Series
Battlestar Galactica
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Carnivale
Community
Cowboy Bebop
Dead Like Me
Doctor Who
Father Ted
Firefly
Glee
Haibane Renmei
Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law
Lost
Monty Python's Flying Circus
Pushing Daisies
Sealab 2021
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Slayers
Supernatural
The Big Bang Theory
The Prisoner
The Venture Brothers
The X-Files
True Blood
Veronica Mars
I mean... you see what I mean? That list is ridiculous, and it's complicated by evaluation (only the first season of Veronica Mars, really, if you please) and qualifications (I haven't actually watched-watched Star Trek: The Next Generation since I was a kid).
Also, that list above is in no way complete, as I haven't factored in favorite cooking shows or favorite kid's shows or favorite webseries (The Guild, for the curious).
Almost comically, my husband's answer is straightforward and singular: Babylon 5.2
1. And even this I failed at, giving you two.
2. And ridiculously short, as Quixote doesn't feel his answer needs explication.
