The Internet totally regrets being polite that one time, because now it'll never hear the end of me!

Oh. My. God. The Internet! It’s such an honor to finally meet you, I mean I’ve been a fan(girl) for a long time and I was always like, if I ever actually get to the chance to talk to you, and of course I thought this was purely hypothetical until now anyway, and well first of all I always swore I would never like flag you down and interrupt what you were doing because, I mean, you must get that so much and I totally want to respect that you’re just trying to live life too, but on the other hand I think you totally deserve to be acknowledged for all your hard work and talent and so I couldn’t just pretend like we aren’t here right now, face to screen, really interacting for the first (but hopefully not the last) time… and did I say what a fan(girl) I am? Way more than these wannabes, anyway...

Ok, now that I’m done gushing, thanks to Emma for inviting me to write on her “humble” blog. TV has gotten me through some rough and/or boring times in life and with this strike in action it has suddenly become apparent just how much I’ve taken it for granted. So let’s celebrate TV, and the Internet, all at once in some sort of insane word orgy!

Since Emma started with a top-ten shows list, so will I. I only chose shows currently airing (some, sadly, for just a few more weeks) so as to ease the task a little. Voila:

Gossip Girl
Survivor
Battlestar Galactica
America’s Next Top Model
Nip/Tuck
The Amazing Race
30 Rock
I Love New York 2
Dexter
Project Runway
Gossip Girl

I know that’s 11, but I couldn’t resist the Gossip Girl sandwich. Blair Waldorf raises my on-fire roof. (No single outdated metaphor suffices.) My true number 11 is Heroes, whose second season has been weak enough to bump it off the list, proper, but whose continued inclusion of shirtless Peter Petrelli keeps it a close runner-up.
A STALKER ARISETH!
