This one is hard for me. I have so many shows that I love, many that actually hold a special place in my heart. Most shows that I get into, I do so because they make me feel a certain way. Some of my favorites over the years have been:
Dawson's Creek
Prison Break
Designing Women
The Golden Girls
7th Heaven
Any Day Now
Boy Meets World
Clarissa Explains It All
Charmed
Moesha
My So Called Life
The Nanny
Party of Five
Saved by the Bell and The College Years
Secret World of Alex Mack
Sister, Sister
Step by Step
Rescue 911
Unsolved Mysteries
Okay, so I could go on and on because I love television. I love how for 30 minutes or an hour, you can live someone else's life. For 30 minutes or so you are in a different world and it's other people with problems. I like to be entertained and much like my love for music, my love for television is very eclectic. I enjoy a variety of entertainment, and like I said before my list of likes could go on forever and a day. This topic of course wants me to choose, so if I must here are my TWO favorite picks. I can't pick just one!!
That 70's Show is a classic! The cast of this show was so beautifully put together, there is no way that it couldn't have been amazing. I wish it could have lasted longer, but as they say, "all good things must come to an end." I'm not quite sure who "they" is but I would like to have a long chat with "them" because I don't like my good things coming to an end, especially when it's as good as That 70's Show. There will never be another Eric and Donna, Jackie, Kelso, Hyde, and definitely never another FEZ! So go watch it in reruns, DUMBA$$!!
My other favorite, obviously is One Tree Hill. How could you not like a show with Chad Michael Murray and James Lafferty, I mean come on!! I've loved this show since episode one, and I am still loyal to it til this day even though Lucas and Peyton are gone. My first love closest to this one was Dawson's Creek. I love the teen agnst of these shows because I was at one time a trauma riddled teenager myself. I felt that if no one in my world could understand what I was going through at least the people on these shows got it. Dawson's Creek ran for many years in reruns and I watched it as often as I could. I never wanted to forget any episode or any situation because I wanted to always know that there was someone out there as bad off as I was. When they took Dawson's Creek off the air I thought I was never going to find another show that I liked as much, and yes I did cry. Dawson's Creek ended on May 14, 2003 and I was wondering if there would ever be another show like it.... well there was and maybe one that was even better. Premiering September 23, 2003, was what I consider one of the best shows of all time. I still watch the new episodes of One Tree Hill, and sometimes I still watch the reruns.
At the end of season 6 the two main characters, Lucas (Chad Michael Murray) and Peyton (Hilarie Burton) left the show. After 6 seasons of an on again, off again relationship and a love triangle between the two of them and Peyton's bestfriend Brooke, they finally get to ride off in the sunset as a married couple with their baby girl Sawyer, who almost didn't make it! Good way to send them off, but true die hard fans never wanted to see them go! Unfortunately for me, this the 9th season will be the last. It has been rumored since the end of the 7th season that there wouldn't be a next, so I will keep hoping until the last show that there is no last show. I will once again be heart broken, and know that this time I will never find a show like this one. Only this time, it will be a truth for I am no longer a teenager with teenage situations and teen angst but I refuse to thrust myself into grown up shows such as Desperate Housewives. I do however, love Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice. So I will be satified with them, but I will never feel as good about sitting down to watch tv as I have for the last 9 seasons. I just hope that the reruns play for as long as the reruns of Dawson's Creek did!
