it all started with a little show called

• charmed. it was a little show about witches and magic and my cousin, monica, got me addicted during our annual summer visit to ohio.
• gilmore girls. beginning of seventh grade, abc family had gotten the syndication rights and oh boy was that the best thing that ever happened to me. it made me snarkier.
• grey's anatomy. so towards the end of my seventh grade year one of my lunchtable friends said 'have you seen grey's anatomy? you've got to watch it'. a couple days later the episode save me aired. it was the eight ep of the first season. summer went by and i forgot about it. and then mystically i saw the premiere. and i was a goner. that moment brought me a lot of amazing experiences, especially after real life friendships fell on hard times.
• studio 60. the fall of my freshman year, every tv critic was buzzing about this new Sorkin drama. it was going to be a hit. well that didn't exactly happen, but what did happen is i fell hard core for these characters and the words they said.. which leads us to.
• the west wing. in the middle of my studio 60 love, i realized that there were many references to the first big sorkin hit. so finally, on thanksgiving day, i d/led my first ep. it was a thanksgiving ep and it was amazing. for the next two months, i couldn't stop watching. i watched two eps a night in my bedroom, and it was the most emotional experience of my life.
• bones. honest to god, i can't remember what got me started on this lovable drama about a doc named brennan and her boy cop booth. What i do remember is my first tv-watched ep was Aliens in a Spaceship, and my god. Nothing had ever been that poignant. It was fantastic.
• bsg. well, there was this special on you see. a special where joss whedon, creator extrodinaire of firefly, showed his inner fanboy over a reimagined '70s sci fi show. i had to check it out. just my luck, the next week the sci fi channel aired a marathon, close to 10 hours of galactica a day. and well now i can't stop saying frak.
• the x files. this is my newest affair. and while i've only see a handful of eps, i think this feeling is a lot like love. which makes sense completely. i mean in the pilot of bones, booth says 'we're scully and mulder' and references to the similarities between b/b and m/s are always made. it was only natural that i'd get curious and throw myself into this 9 season long undertaking. and the fact that all this buzz is stirring about the film didn't help either.
