TV Guide recently put out a list of the top 25 cult shows EVER.
Boldface the shows that you like or have ever liked.
25.) Freaks and Geeks (never seen it…)
24.) Absolutely Fabulous (This show is what RULING THE SCHOOL is ALL ABOUT. Deliciously drunken sluts will forever have a place in my wicked, wicked heart.)
23.) Forever Knight (never seen it…)
22.) H.R. Puffnstuf (Late 60’s fucked-up, cheaply-produced kids show with obvious drug allusions — you just GOTTA love it.)
21.) Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman (SUCKED beyond ALL SUCKDOM. When you look up the word “sucks” in the dictionary — there is a picture of Mary Hartman’s hideous face.)
20.) Twin Peaks (never seen it…)
19.) Dark Shadows (I wanted to bang around with Barnabas Collins since the age of 3 — before I even knew what bangin’ around WAS. Yeah.)
18.) Doctor Who (never seen it…)
17.) The Avengers (BRILLIANT mod 60’s show. LOVED IT!)
16.) My So Called Life (never seen it…)
15.) Quantum Leap (never seen it…)
14.) Beauty And The Beast (never seen it…)
13.) Babylon 5 (never seen it…despite the fact that one of my best friends won SEVERAL Emmy’s for special effects make-up during his tenure there. Oops.)
12.) Family Guy (never seen it…)
11.) Mystery Science Theatre 3000 (Loved it! Hateful, contemptuous, smartasses always appeal to me.)
10.) Pee Wee’s Playhouse (One word: GOD. And made even better when I found out last year that my friend, Natasha, played Opal — the little girl who used to wander in and out of the playhouse every so often. Lucky bi-otch.)
9.) Xena, Warrior Princess (never seen it…)
8.) The Twilight Zone (The GREATEST TELEVISION SERIES OF ALL TIME; this show is actually one of the reasons I became a writer. Thank you for the sublime vocation, Lord Serling.)
7.) The Prisoner (never seen it…)
6.) The Simpsons (Despite being told what a fucking moronic assgoblin I am for not absolutely falling all over myself to watch this motherfucker, I do believe that I am the ONLY person on the planet who LOATHES this show. I think there is just something about the animation or the colors or something that repels me in a sensory sort of way; kind of like listening to country music. There is just something about it that does NOT work for me. My husband, by the way, LIVES FOR IT. Makes for rather “interesting” discussions at tv time.)
5.) Monty Python’s Flying Circus (SHEER UNADULTERATED GENIUS. I will watch Monty Python ANYTIME, ANYPLACE, NO MATTER WHAT. I will step over my own mother’s writhing, rattling, pleading carcass to sit my fatass down and watch it.)
4.) Farscape (never seen AND never heard of it…)
3.) Buffy The Vampire Slayer (HA! another shocker! never seen it…)
2.) The X-Files (never seen it…)
1.) Star Trek (ALL-TALENT. Love the schlock. Love Spock. Want to bang around with Chekov. End of story.)
