Because I feel like it.
mermeydele just did one of those "if you love Buffy, quote it in your journal" type memes. And I thought, "Hey, I could do that." And then I thought, "Hey, I could do more!" So right now, for your entertainment (or for your ignoring) is a line or two from each of my favorite shows, as listed on facebook.
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer"
Buffy: Wait! Stop! Think!
Faith: No, no, NO!
"Doctor Who"
Jack: You okay? You look a little dizzy.
Rose: [passing out] What about you? You're not even in focus. . .
"The Simpsons"
Lisa: It stinks being a kid. No one listens to you.
Grandpa: It stinks being old. No one listens to you.
Homer: I'm a white male, age eighteen to forty-nine! Everyone listens to me, no matter how dumb my ideas are! [takes a jar off the shelf] Ooh, nuts and gum!
"Arrested Development"
Tobias: Are you crazy?
Michael: Are you blue?
Tobias: Only in color, Michael. Only in color.
"Firefly"
Mal: Well, it looks like we got here just in the nick of time. What's that make us?
Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir!
Mal: Ain't we just!
"Angel"
Angel: Don't you see, Anthony? You can be a rainbow, and not a [knocks him out] PAINbow!
"Torchwood"
Owen: But if they don't make it?
Ianto: Then. . . it's all over.
Owen: . . . Let's all have sex.
Ianto: And I thought the end of the world couldn't get any worse.
"Fawlty Towers"
Mrs Richards: When I pay for a view, I expect something more interesting than that.
Fawlty: That's Tourquay, madam.
Mrs Richards: Well, it's not good enough.
Fawlty: May I ask what you expected to see out of a TOURQUAY hotel window? Sidney Opera House, perhaps? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the -
Mrs Richards: The sea. I expect to be able to see the sea.
Fawlty: You CAN see the sea. It's over there between the LAND and the SKY.
"Monty Python's Flying Circus"
Interviewer: GoodNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT A DING DING DING.
Interviewee: I don't know what to do when you do that!
Interviewer: Well, do something! GoodNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT A DING DING DING DING.
"Veronica Mars"
Veronica: Do you know how long I've wanted to go to Stanford?
Wallace: Lemme guess. Since middle school?
Veronica: Elementary, my dear Wallace! Now, do you know how long I've wanted to say THAT?
"The X-Files"
Circus Performer: I'm going to suspend myself from hooks in the ceiling. Eventually the pain will be so great that I'll have an out-of-body experience. If people knew the real cost of spirituality, there would be more atheists.
"The Avengers"
Mrs Peel: I'm collecting for charity, and I warn you I intend to talk you out of at least ten pounds.
Steed: [hung over] I'll give you twenty if you can make the voce a little more sotto.
"Johnny Bravo"
Johnny: [as detective] Rain dripped down like mayonnaise onto the giant cheese hoagie of a city gone bad.
Merciful Zeus, it was surprisingly exhausting typing that all out. I had no idea I liked so much tv. I console myself with the fact that most of it has been watched in dvd marathon form, and as such I've absorbed fewer commercials than it looks like I have.
PS: "Life On Mars" [Edit: British version] would be here, except I've only watched four episodes of it. That may be half the first season, but it would still be cheating.
