Yes, I have decided to try a month-long meme, which I haven't done before. Ganked from

Firefly deserves this spot, too, but that would be pretty much everyone's pick, so I went with this show. To be fair, I've only seen a handful of the episodes, and a lot of them were from Season 2, but this show was adorable. Also, this was a show that my younger siblings, Peter and JoJo, could watch with me without JoJo freaking out like she tends to do. I always found it funny that Peter could never remember Ned's name, so he just always said, "The Piemaker" like the narrator tended to do.
Anyway, on to the show itself. This show was all about death, and yet it could leave me feeling warm, fuzzy, and hopeful. The style and narrative felt really original, and even though it was set in this fluffy, candy-colored world, the characters and problems were relatable (abandoment, emotional neglect, just yearning to be loved). I can't say that there was anything about this show that I genuinely disliked. I think Aunt Lily drove me a little nuts with how terse she was, but she eventually grew on me. Dude, did anyone get a kick out of Emerson's knitting habit? I absolutely love.
I think I need to look up the rest of the episodes now so that I can properly appreciate it.
