Delightfully Useless

30 Days of Telly meme yoinked from calapine. And ganked from me by several other people. I feel oddly flattered - I'm a trendsetter! ;-)

Day 06 - Favorite episode of your favorite TV show: Hmm. This went on a bit. Cut for length.

Day 04 - Your favorite show ever: Hmm. Favorite show ever. That's a big question.

The answer is fairly obvious, though, given that I have our entire DVD collection of one particular show sitting right next to my bed! :D Specifically, "Bonanza".

I don't even know how to start saying how much I love this show. It's so good I can't even think of it in parts, as the writing and the acting and so forth; it's just Bonanza. And it is awesome.

... I do not think I'm being coherent. My tribute fic Last Man Standing - the only Bonanza story I've ever written or ever expect to write - will have to speak for me on this subject.

30 Days of Telly meme yoinked from Calapine, Day 2.

Day 02 - A show that you wish more people were watching: Well, by and large, TV shows are off the air by the time I hear about them, so I'll go with an old favorite.

Gilligan's Island. Oh, sure, people watch it - it's been running constantly in syndication since it was cancelled, and it's as much a part of our collective language as Star Wars - but it gets such a bad rap. It's the cleverest, best-written, best-acted, and cleanest comedy show in history, featuring one of the world's greatest comedy teams ever (I mean of course Alan Hale Jr and Bob Denver) and a good deal of hilarious social commentary that should give Terry Pratchett a run for his money, but what do people say about it? "[This other thing] was so bad I'd rather watch Gilligan's Island!"

*major eyeroll*

(Not to mention, it has Hamlet: The Opera. Which is pretty much the best abridgment of Shakespeare ever, no kidding. *wanders off singing "Neither a Borrower Nor a Lender Be"*)
