100 Things I Love About TV
Inspired by my previous list of things I love about movies, I have decided -- and by "decided" I of course mean "been obsessively compelled" -- to compile a similar list for my other great pop culture passion: TV. Same rules apply: no particular order, just the first 100 things to pop into my head. I tried to keep it to one thing per TV show, otherwise it would be overflowing with moments from Joss Whedon, Aaron Sorkin, and Bryan Fuller shows. As it is, I feel like my TV list isn't quite as varied as my movie list. Please feel free to add your own thoughts in the comments below.
