Spike and Buffy, End of Season 7 (BtVS)--My...
It is extremely difficult to pick a favorite scene from the thousands of hours of television I’ve watched. I LOVED the final scene from the House finale this year, I love many scenes from 30 Rock, Bones, The Office, Veronica Mars, etc. But the relationship between Spike and Buffy during the course of the series was beautifully played out thanks to compassionate writing and skilled acting....

Angel--A Show I Didn't Think I'd Like But Ended Up...
After what Angel did to Buffy, I couldn’t bear to watch his show. I was pissed at him for leaving her, and then moving to LA and hanging out with Cordelia of all people! What a jerk.
I became obsessed with Bones, and re-obsessed with David Boreanaz a few years ago, so I turned to Angel for my DB fix. It was more enjoyable than I ever imagined it would be, and is a great companion piece to...

"Beer Bad" and "Where The Wild Things Are"...
I couldn’t find good images of these episodes, but they are both from season 4, hence the choice of pic. It’s not surprising that two of my least favorite episodes are from the show’s transition season. Buffy and the gang have graduated from high school, and they writers fumbled to give them battles to keep them all together.
In “Beer Bad” Buffy ends up turning...

Becoming Parts 1&2 (BtVS)--Favorite Episode of My...
This was a tough decision because there are so many fantastic episodes to choose from: “Prophecy Girl”, “Fool For Love”, “Chosen”, but this is the one I’m going with because it is just EPIC. There is too much going on to really explain, but it all revolves around Angelus, the soulless alter-ego of Buffy’s beloved vampire Angel, and his plot to make...

America's Got Talent--A Show I Hate
There are plenty of shows that make me uncomfortable, or bored, and most of them I never bother to watch. Thanks to my roommate and a very comfortable couch, I have seen episodes of such questionable shows as Celebrity Rehab and Real Houswives of New York City. Both of those are sort of like train wrecks—you just can’t look away! I can’t say I hate either one of them, though....

Buffy The Vampire Slayer--My Favorite Show Ever
I loved how it was funny, smart, nerdy, scary, tragic, romantic, and silly—sometimes all at the same time. I loved the questions it asked about power, redemption, duty. My life would be different if I hadn’t had Buffy in my life. I started watching it when I was 12, and I felt like I could really relate to Buffy. She is just a teenage girl who wants normal things: friends, a...

Glee--Favorite New Show
I am a huge musical theater buff, so it’s not surprising that I really heart this show. I sort of worry about how this show will survive in the long term. Is it’s awesomeness sustainable over 22 episode seasons? Only time will tell.
**Update: Glee has just been renewed for a third season. I would like to suggest they have the kids graduate and then have Glee:The New Class.

Skins--A Show That You Wish More People Were...
A lot of people watch Skins already, but it should be watched by EVERYONE. It is the best teen show, like, ever. It is what Gossip Girl would be like if it were on HBO. The rights were acquired by MTV to create an American version, which sucks because MTV sucks now, and really, the original is too good to be ignored over an American adaptation.

Wonderfalls--A Show That Should Have Never Been...
This quirky show only lasted four episodes on Fox in 2004. It is about a girl working at a souvenir shop in Niagara Falls, New York. Her life is going nowhere until some of the animal tchotckes start talking to her, and telling her to do things. It is an odd concept for a network television show, but it was really funny and poignant—I know this only because I bought the DVD set with the...

A Break in the Bones
Okay. So the Bones Season finale was last night, and it wasn’t all that great.
I confess to not watching religiously for the past two seasons. I got frustrated because the relationship between Booth and Brennan became ridiculous, they got rid of Zac in the worst way possible, and the cases weren’t fascinating enough that I didn’t care about the botched character development. I...
