TV Meme, The End
Aug. 16th, 2010 07:15 amThis 30-day thing was a terrible idea.
Day 24 - Best quote
FAR too many to list, but basically anything anyone ever said in Red Dwarf's episode, "White Hole" and then this dialogue from The West Wing's episode "The Midterms":
( Chapter and verse. )
Day 25 - A show you plan on watching (old or new)
Well, I plan to give Undercovers a shot. JJ Abrams. Spies. Would it be possible for me not to give it a shot?
Day 26 - OMG WTF? Season finale
Choices, choices... I guess Star Trek: The Next Generation's "The Best of Both Worlds, Part I". Seeing Picard in full-on Borg regalia, saying "I am Locutus of Borg" and Riker saying "Fire!"... But the Season 2 finale of Alias was huge, too. "Vaughn, why are you wearing that ring?" Oh, that kills me every time.
Day 27 - Best pilot episode
It might not be the BEST, but there was something about the pilot for 3rd Rock from the Sun that just had me HOWLING. I think it's a little less funny these days, but it definitely hooked me.
( Why am I the woman? Because you lost. )
Day 28 - First TV show obsession - Probably The Dukes of Hazzard. I clearly remember sitting in my basement watching CBS at 8pm on Fridays just to watch "The Duke Boys". It used to be on at 9, with Dallas at 10, but it all shifted an hour earlier in 1982. I was definitely watching The Dukes in 1981 (at the age of four!) because I remember Deputy Cletus and I remember watching The Dukes the next season and going "Mommy, Daddy, where are the Duke boys?!" because their "cousins", Coy and Vance, took over for a year.
Note that at no time during the first run of this show did I have ANY IDEA WHATSOEVER that they had run moonshine. I didn't even know what moonshine was.
Day 29 - Current TV show obsession - No real obsessions right now, but I'm definitely hooked on Covert Affairs. Not sure if it's entirely due to Piper Perabo or because I think the show is cute, but I'm hooked anyways.
Day 30 - Saddest character death - Again, choices.
Mrs. Landingham, The West Wing
( You feckless thug. )
Joyce Summers, Buffy the Vampire Slayer
( Mommy? )
Tara Maclay, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (7m49s)
( Hey! Clothes! )
And we're done! Never again am I doing a 30-day meme. I apologize for getting
shiningmoon into it and props to
yahtzee63 for getting through it!
