TV Meme...

I haven't done a meme (memed? been memetic?) in a while, but today I came upon this one. I wonder what my viewing choices say about me?

Taken from The Urban Recluse, who got it from SamuraiFrog

Rules:
- Bold all of the following TV shows which you’ve ever seen 3 or more episodes of in your lifetime.
- Italicize a show if you’re positive you’ve seen every episode of it.

Thanks for carrying on the meme.

Interesting choices. Denny Crane was a legend, as was Columbo. I loved Hercules - it was so cheesy and fun.

I can't believe that you didn't like Seinfeld - it was so funny in its awkwardness.

It always seemed to me that the cast in Seinfeld were overselling things - saying "Look! This is funny! Laugh now!"

That kind of turns me off. I think the best comedies are the ones where you don't remember if there was a laugh track because you laughed so much yourself. Taxi, MASH and Cheers were that good; Frasier and Friends as well.

For me, anyhow :)

But it was interesting to note how many shows weren't on the list - I may have to do a 'Revenge of the TV Meme' meme to address that...
