Thursday Thirteen

Thirteen TV shows that Jaynie R has loved at various stages of life.

1 - Buffy the Vampire Slayer. There can be only one, and Buffy pretty much is the one for me. Seven seasons of complete bliss. I could watch it over and over again.

2 - Grey's Anatomy. This is my NOW show. McDreamy, McSteamy, McYummy, and oh yeah - the chicks. This show has it all - hot guys, great acting, fabulous dialogue. I am, however, extremely pissed about the season finale of season 3 - there was no need to make it that depressing for EVERY single character. Sad - the baby dying. Even sadder - finding out who the father was.

3 - Arrested Development. Why oh why did more people not watch this. I was so upset that it got tanked after only 3 seasons. Jason Bateman was the perfect straight man for this cast of weird and wacky. Lots of giggles.

4 - Red Dwarf. British comedy sci-fi. They're all dead Dave, all dead, all dead Dave. Dave is the last human alive and he hangs with a mutated man/cat, a robot, and a hologram called Rimmer. Something else that I can watch over and over again and never get bored. Very clever stuff.

5 - Pinky and the Brain. Cult cartoon about two little Acme mice on a mission to take over the world. What are we going to do tonight Brain? The same thing we do every night Pinky, we're going to try and take over the world.

6- Beverly Hills 90210. Don't think I could sit through it now, but from age 15 to 23 it was on all the time on my television as I lusted after Dylan, and tried to decide just who he should choose - Brenda or Kelly.

7 - Law and Order. I never watched this when it originally came out, but caught up with reruns and I think I've seen the first 8 or 9 series about 4 or 5 times for each episode. Can you believe we're on season 18? I stopped watching when Jerry Orbich died. Couldn't do it anymore.

8 - Married with Children. Best piece of non-politically correct crack up you can find. Who doesn't love Al, Peggy and the gang?

9 - The Dukes of Hazard. Yeehaaa - car races and voice overs. This one was a classic when I was growing up. It makes me laugh now, but back then it was a serious thing - making sure the boys saved Uncle Jesse's farm.

10 - MacGyver. I swore I was going to marry him when he grew up. The fact that he only needed a pocket knife and a piece of chewing gum to start a car was always fascinating to me.

11 - M.A.S.H. I still cry in the final episode. I think I've seen every episode at least 2 or 3 times. Probably one of the best shows ever made. The story of why Hawkaye went nuts still gives me nightmares.

12 - Star Trek. The original. The others were good too, but only in the original can you truly get the experience of Kirk screwing green aliens, and Beam me up Scottie. Good entertainment value.

13 - Friends. Some of those episodes had me rolling on the floor literally. Great for a giggle when you really need one.

I can't believe how many I had to leave out and most from the eighties or nineties. I don't really watch much tv anymore.
