I need to start keeping count of how many blog entries have been autocensored. This is #2. It's PG.
This list was a LOT tougher to make than I expected. I'm actually making two separate top 10 lists, one for before I turned 18, the other is after. I'm not just using 18 as an arbitrary child/adult divider. My TV watching habits changed greatly when I turned 18, because I went away to college. Back in those days (heh), not too many kids had TVs in their dorm rooms; I only knew three people who did. There was one TV in the lobby of our dorm, which housed about 200 students. I was outvoted during the General Hospital time slot. So...
Top 10 Favorites, pre-18
1. One Day at a Time I wanted to be Valerie Bertinelli, not her character (the younger daughter), but the actress.
2. Eight Is Enough Yum, Willie Aames! (the one with curly sandy hair)
3. Charlie's Angels Jaclyn Smith was my favorite.
4. Laverne & Shirley I wanted to be like Laverne.
5. Happy Days
6. Partridge Family Yum, Danny! (the smartassed redhead)
7. Captain Kangaroo I thought it was so cool that I had the same birthday as Captain Kangaroo. I loved the ping pong ball thing. I probably still would.
8. Alice Yum, Alice's son!
9. Starsky & Hutch Yum, Starsky! (Paul Michael Glaser, the dark haired one)
10. General Hospital
I'm not sure if I'd like any of the above shows now, except Captain Kangaroo.
Top 10 Favorites, post-18
1. House #1 all-time favorite show. Seriously. By a lot. I've seen every episode at least three times, going on four. Some more. When I say addicted, I really mean addicted.
2. American Idol The first reality show I ever watched; I liked the idea that the audience could vote. I started watching from the first episode.
3. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Quark rocks. My Pug is named Garak, after the Cardassian tailor-maybe-spy.
4. Queer As Folk Guh. Drool. Swoon. Yep, **** here. F@gh@g, that is. Funny that it let me say smartassed (see Partridge Family).
5. Six Feet Under Peter Krause! Jeremy Sisto! Eric Balfour! Lauren Ambrose! More gay characters!
6. Jeff Corwin Experience Not quite as over the top as Steve Irwin, though I loved him too.
7. South Park Cartman is my hero.
8. MADtv Swan. Stuart. Yes.
9. M*A*S*H Mmm, B.J.
10. Jeopardy! If only I had the guts to go audition...
Depending on how they go, Kidnapped and My Name Is Earl might end up on this list later.

Which reminds me!!! I keep forgetting to say thanks to everyone who added me to I can have the pretty little butterfly. Yay! I'm working on getting another Person editorship; I hope to get it in the next few days, depending on how much time I have to work on it and how fast the QoD goes. Last week when I was working toward getting A Bit of Fry and Laurie, I was working in the middle of the night once and got my submissions approved almost immediately. Someone in editorland really rocks.
