Have I mentioned how I love my neighbors? I do, I really, really do, but then the mom goes and tells me, quite passionately, that her favorite show of all time is … wait for it… and I know what you’re thinking, you’re thinking “OH DEAR LORD, what if it’s (your own WORST SHOW EVER!)!”
I know! Like in grad school, when my study partner/friend gushed how Jag was the best show of all time. I think I even blurted out something offensive because I remember her hammering me with stats like “longest running (awful) show featuring a main character named “Harmon”" or something trivial. I don’t know. I just know my heart wasn’t in the friendship after that. How could I trust her as a study buddy when I knew she’d been fantasizing about a hot hookup between “Harm” and “Mac.” Ooooh the nicknames — clev!
But wait. My neighbors. I digress (I could also digress about the skunk spray enveloping me from the frisky little rodent outside the office window, but I won’t). My neighbor was in a stunned state of disbelief when I told her that no, Full House, wasn’t one of my favorite shows of all time.
Then her head exploded when I confessed in my own state of disbelief at her disbelief that I’d only seen a couple bits and pieces of the “best show EVER.” Um. I don’t think I shared with her that my mom wouldn’t put it on the tv because “people aren’t THAT stupid.” Well, that’s a whole other argument, mom.
Just for the record, the best television shows of all time are (in no particular order because I will probably get in a fistfight with myself): Six Feet Under, Sex and the City, Small Wonder, Felicity, and Seinfeld. Done. Ok, fine, I probably missed a few, but nowhere NEAR the top are the two aforementioned shitfests. GOOD. DAY.
And what do you get all in my face about? Bring it, loves.
Oh, and you do know I was kidding about “Small Wonder,” right? Whew.
