Are you guys living under a rock? Dang! I have watched 8 out of Somer's 15 shows. And while I love Buffy (as you can see I named by baby girl after her) and Angel, they are probably #2 and #3 on my list. The other six shows on his list that I have watched are probably on my top 15 shows too.
Those who never watched Veronica Mars seriously missed out on a great show.

No...different tastes! I don't try and convince folks that I KNOW which are the best shows ever, I merely present a list for discussion (and yes, to try and get a person or two to actually watch some of the ones I like). A lot depends on what genre(s) you like...I enjoy fantasy, sci-fi, horror and drama. Some folks love comedies, police stories and soaps, others (gasp!!) actually like reality TV. To me, a good show is all about the characters and their interactions...if I become vested in a character(s), I'll like the show. Often times, we assume too much...we hear this or that about a show and take for granted we know all we need to know. I know that has kept me from some shows that when I finally did watch, I was angry at my ignorance cause it delayed my enjoyment. Buffy the Vampire Slayer...first was the bastardized movie, not really that bad in a campy sorta way but it went completely against Joss Whedon's vision as the studio and a clueless director ruined the concept. When it came to TV...well, it was on a minor network (the WB) as Fox refused to pick it up, and folks wrote it off as a show for teenagers. In fact, courses on Buffy are currently taught on college campuses throughout the world (graduate level as well as undergrad), faculty at such schools as Harvard, Oxford, and Cal Tech present papers on the show in the areas of literature, sociology, psychology, philosophy, math and physics (to name a few)....the only show to rival it's academic interest is it's spinoff Angel (Xena does get some consideration also). Buffy has become a social icon as has Xena....! None of this means someone has to like the shows I mention...I merely present this to make my point.
