Gilmore Girls: I must say, even though the 7th season was sort of a disaster with the absence of the show’s creator Amy Sherman Palladino, I miss the Lorelais. I miss Luke and the diner, Kirk, Miss Patty, Babette, Taylor and all of the Stars Hollow crew. Rory and Lorelai brought a quick wit and humor to television that I believe had never been seen before and their world was one I loved to immerse myself in every Tuesday night.

2. Friends: I think Friends got a bit overshadowed by Seinfeld in its hey-day but I loved it. I could always count on a laugh at Chandler and Joey’s antics, and enjoy quirky Phoebe and even ditzy Rachel. And yes, I did get “The Rachel” haircut. But in all seriousness, this show was incredibly funny and had a lot of heart. I will never get tired of the reruns. I couldn’t pick one video or find a good compilation so here are a few.

3. Veronica Mars: I must admit, I watched this show on DVD, and not when it was on tv but I don’t think that makes me any less of a fan. Rob Thomas is a genius, and paired with Kristen Bell, and an amazing cast of supporting characters, he can do no wrong. With lines such as “Never undercount the sassy” and “This? Is my over-the-moon face,” I can never get enough of it. Each week was a new mystery, all tied together with an overarching case to solve. The acting was brilliant, the stories were fantastic…even the theme song by The Dandy Warhols was awesome…I really don’t think I could find a flaw in this show if I tried—except for the fact that it only lasted 3 seasons. I fully support a Veronica Mars movie and you should check out @IMKristenBell on twitter for more info on how to make this happen.

4. Arrested Development: This show ended way before it’s time. It was filled with crazy characters, ridiculous storylines that were incredibly grounded at the same time, and most of all, it was absolutely hilarious. The show rewarded their loyal viewers with call back jokes and gave it to FOX many times…in very subtle and brilliant ways. With a cast of Jason Bateman, Michael Cera, Will Arnett, Jeffrey Tambor, Jessica Walter, Alia Shawkat, David Cross, Portia De Rossi, and even a guest stint by Liza Minnelli—how can you possibly go wrong?? The video is clips of George Michael and Maeby (my favorite storyline)…although I wish I had found one with more of the cast members. You’ll just have to go watch it on DVD!

5. The O.C., or as I fondly call it, the Gossip Girl of the 00s, was dramatic, funny, and anchored by a great cast (Peter Gallagher as Sanford Cohen). I was always excited to tune into this show. While it had it’s over-the-top moments, the O.C. was a guilty pleasure that I didn’t feel really guilty about. This video is one of my favorite moments from the show.
