Don't forget about the funky beats of Barney Miller.

I'm a riddle wrapped in a knock knock joke, or something. On the other hand, I was remembered in one of these lists, so here's the origin story of this username:

Doctor Who fans (especially classic series fans):

You know, it was really good, really competently done, and I was all set to have just really enjoyed it, and then they just tugged on the heartstrings of the longtime fans in the last shot or so, and it really, really worked for me, and brought the whole thing up to another level of great. (Doctor Who has always been

Yup, what SG Standard said. There are much better ways to get into the series—it's a common refrain, but if you're at all curious about the show, starting with "The Eleventh Hour" (new series 5) is probably the best way to determine whether or not the series is worth watching for you. (If so, feel free to go back

Phil Hartman. A senseless death at the time, so bringing him back at that moment would probably play out like an actual natural progression. I don't think legacy would have been impacted negatively (though maybe a new career in the movies would have developed), though we would lose one of the best/most difficult to

io9 has ranked every Doctor Who story (that's been broadcast, so no novels/audios/Shada), and divided them further into 5 categories (from best to worst, basically).

It was a deal that really moved all those involved.

Along those lines, I'd love for The Dick Van Dyke Show to be discussed and analyzed by some of the best television writers working today (no kidding), and for that series to find a wider modern audience, but if MTM is off-limits (and I get it, but still, quality should count for something, darn it. Maybe one classic

Thanks for putting this together—I think it's a great idea, and is going to prove to be very interesting.

I'll take the 19th.

I'm interested in this, and I'd really like to do a Doctor Who episode, tentatively "A Christmas Carol".

I PASSED!!! Finally!

I was really hoping/expecting Linus to show up when Lily was approaching the minister without a drink in her hand.

Yes. But be warned, while a very large percentage of the episodes are absolutely outstanding, there are almost certainly going to be one or two clunkers that you just don't get, and won't want to ever watch again. (Which episodes these are vary from person to person—personally, I could never get into "Waldorf

I don't post that often, if that counts—I've probably got the chance, but rarely have anything interesting to say. I'm here all the time (really frequently most weekdays), and read everything I can, but don't post very often.

This is strictly a right-this-second ranking—I go back and forth a lot on my personal Bond canon.

Men and the Friends, coming soon to NBC Wednesdays at 10:00!

We did it…we actually did it.
