At trivia this week Erin and I confessed our love of TV. It seems like all the cool people say they don't even OWN TVs, let alone enjoy a show or two. Well, gosh darn it, I LOVE television. It's the most relaxing part of my day. You should see how I held it together last night when Ben noted our DVR failed to record this week's So You Think You Can Dance aka SYTYCD aka "The Dance Show" competition episode. I didn't even cry. It helped that I had just indulged in an 80 minute episode of a British lovefest called Sherlock. I mean, the actor is named Benedict Cumberbatch for goodness sake! Whoa, I got way off topic there.
I just mean to say that I love TV. I recently got Amanda hooked on Battlestar Galactica, bought Ben all of Cowboy Bebop for Father's Day, and gave Erin a list of shows to persue on the back of a beer coaster.
I thought it would be fun to list some of my all time favorite shows and where you can find them. You know, if you find yourself hiding from the heat in your basement den after the baby has gone to sleep and you have the next day off work and just want to be entertained for a while. So in order of my brain's wandering, here is my list. (I starting trying to indicate whether these are listed on Netflix instant, DVD only, or hulu, but it got way out of hand. You'll have to search for yourself. But know that most of these I do not watch live.)
Sherlock
The IT Crowd
Doctor Who
Spaced
The Big Bang Theory
Community
The Office
30 Rock
Burn Notice
The Good Guys (sniff!)
SYTYCD
How I Met Your Mother
Better Off Ted (sniff!)
Arrested Development (sniff!)
Veronica Mars
Psych
Bones
Angel
Glee
Castle
Better With You (don't be hatin' on me)
Friends
Seinfeld
Firefly (sniff!)
Evagelion
Cowboy Bebop
Mushii
Battlestar Galactica
Twin Peaks
ADD ON Pushing Daisies (sniff!)
Hmmm, that might be all for now. I might add on to this later. Help me in the comments if you can!

The Wire.
Yay Sherlock!
I'm rereading the original stories, too! I just bought the complete set for the Kindle. Also, there's a historical-but-mostly-fiction book called "The Sherlockian" that's about Arthur Conan Doyle, if you want more murder mysteries to read.
I've never watched the Big Bang Theory but I'm going to trust your judgement and check it out.
And I know you'll never watch it but: Friday Night Lights.
