It’s got just the right combination of charm, humor, believable-yet-ultimately lucky characters. The Wire may be my favorite show of all time but Firefly has my favorite characters. Besides, The Wire is so… lethal. And everyday. In Firefly, every character other than River is someone I’d really like to get to know. They’re deep enough to be believable and have just enough Hollywood to be enchanting.
Even Inara who is generally the seven of nine sex object of the show has personality, quirks, and is portrayed with more class than one would expect given the character bio.
Pee Wee’s Playhouse would be pretty awesome, I would totally want to be one of his neighbors and get to hang out with Cowboy Curtis, Captain Carl and Tito the Lifeguard.
Any show where I get to play the part of David Caruso.
Seriously… if I were about 18, probably just about any show on the WB. As it is, being 35, and knowing that most of those actresses are actually 20-28 and only playing teenagers, just about any show on the WB.
Charmed. No, wait, seriously? True Blood has already been covered. Okay, Chuck, as the part of Chuck. Funny, interesting, playing a spy around beautiful women, what’s not to like?
