Yeah, right
I’m blaming Allyn for this.

Why they don’t call it “lots of cult American shows imported by Channel 4 or BBC2 in the last decade” instead, I don’t know. I mean, I love Buffy, but more than something as impressive and important as Queer as Folk? And this is TV shows, not series, so where’s the variety or reality shows?

It’s heavily skewed towards modern stuff — no I Claudius or The Prisoner, for instance, which is ridiculous.

Hurry up and watch all of BG (hiding at number 13). It’s at least as good as Firefly, and totally frags all that trekkie rubbish you seem to like. It has writing and acting, for example.

Hmmm, you seem to think I like trekkie stuff, which is weird as I really don’t.
