OK, I thought the OP was a troll, and skipped it. Now I remember! Seriously, Graves might have been OK, but he was no Steven Hill, and certainly no Arness.

I feel exactly the same way about L&O and Gunsmoke: I'll watch them when I'm sick, or if I happen on a marathon, but rarely if ever do I seek them out.

I forgot the RIP — fuck me. RIP.

That's funny; when I mention Arness to people, that's invariably the first thing they say — "You know whose brother he is?" Which gives me an excuse to quote MST3K's "Parts: the Clonus Horror" episode ("Tonight on Biography!"), so it's all good.

Best episode?
I watched a few Gunsmoke marathons on TV land about a decade ago, and really enjoyed them. Favorite episode? "The Badge" — Miss Kitty gets sick of having to deal with Matt getting shot every twenty minutes, and leaves Dodge (only to return at the end of the episode, obviously). They weren't all great,…

The line goes from Jordan Catalano to Veronica Mars to Ann Perkins.

Agreed, Billy: I found an unofficial (and extremely thorough) VM soundtrack on a torrent site a while back, and it's pretty great. The Buffy/Angel counterpart? Not so much.

I liked it, but as far as I know, I'm the only one.

I had a hard time getting into this show — the comparisons to Buffy really brought out the contrarian in me. I think it was actually that song that kept me coming back.

That may be the first episode I remember watching, and I still think of it every time I see a clingy sock.

Haven't watched season 3 in a while — I really, really hope Piz is better than I remember him. I mean, didn't he have a good scene with Paul Rudd? Maybe?

The Get-Along Gang, Get-Along Gang
Each one is special in his own way.

I was right and wrong — her name WAS Monica, but she was a Kreb Scout (of course), not a Girl Scout.

I liked…I want to say Monica. The Girl Scout with all the dead pets. I really need to rewatch some of these episodes…

I have mixed feelings about Bania — I still quote a bunch of his lines on a regular basis ("Gold!", "The best!"), but I find episodes with him hard to watch; and I, too, thought the Ovaltine routine was (for lack of a batter term) lazy. I'm OK with Festivus, though.
