Top 10 TV Shows: #1: Friends

Obvi no surprises here BW. Instead of talking about my love for tha show (which YAK if U R a tru blog fan, or can see by googleing Friends in the little bar at tha top right part of tha blog), I'm instead going to talk about why I'm more qualified to make that assessment that any of you posers and why I would clobber any of you at Friends trivia. 

First though, I'll get it out of tha way why it outweighs all. To put it in perspective, Breaking Bad's finale had 10.3 million viewers.  Friends had 52.5 million viewers #unmatched. Obvi, I'd get a lot of hoola for this comparison ("but Buff, AMC isn't a major network, Friends was too generic, more people were streaming it online" or other goofy claims), but without getting into the substance of why Friends is good, it is the only 21st century show that has hit 50 million views (which it did on multiple episodes). I'll cut the cord on Halloweenjitsu when some other show comes close. No one will come close to taking that challenge.  Everyone keep me posted LOL.

Now that I've taken care of that a further background is necessary: in like May of 2008, played M.A. in a game of Friends Scene It. I may or may not have been drinking and missed a single question and managed to give up the board to her. Ever since then, haters have been skeptical. More recently, another J.D. also claimed he could beat me.

This is all nonsensical.

Assuming arguendo, that the 2008 game wasn't a fluke and I was just actually out-Friended (lol) I've been putting in tha work for the last few years. Think about it, since the Summer of 2008 I've fallen asleep with tha TV on exclusively to tha show Friends. Even assuming that I only watch 2 episodes a night before I fall asleep*fn1, which is a fucking conservative estimate, and also assuming I haven't watched any eps the rest of the day (also generous), this means I've watched 4,015 episodes of Friends since I've started watching the show religiously.*fn2

For you friends rookies out there (pay attention M.A.), there are 236 episodes of Friends. Obvi, I probably haven't watched all episodes equally.*fn3 Nevertheless, this mean that since the last time I fell short in a game of competitive trivia, I have seen each episode an additional 17 times.*fn4 AND THAT'S ASSUMING I ONLY WATCH THA TWO EPS BEFORE I GO TO BREAD. 

Long story short, 
a) this is the greatest TV show of all time. 
b) I would pwn anyone at it.

*FN1: I know what you're thinking- but Buff what about tha 3 day benders you go on every fall and all those nights not spent in your own bread? Well, my ill informed friends, think about what hit TV show I would recover to all day on a Sunday (and maybe Monday if it was a bad one lol). 

*FN2: I've always slept with the TV on since I moved upstairs in the Pinecone (circa August 2006). However, at that time I am sure that I didn't own all of the seasons of Friends. To pinpoint when I started watching Friends religiously, I had to flashback to when I was seeing certain LFs and figure out if a) the TV was on with them and b) if it was Friends. To the best of my recollection, I slept with the TV on during my sowing my wild oats stage of 2006, and past the SS era of most of 2007 (even at this time I ruled at Friends and consistently took her to town on Friends Scene It). Early 2008 had some Friends, but I don't think I made a full commitment to falling asleep to the show until I had counter-resistance from AM in the fall of 2008 when she wanted to fall asleep to these hippie shows other than Friends so I made it a full time deal.Even with more recent candidates (KB, WU, GG, AH2013), they've all been on board with tha show.

*FN3: Season 10 makes me sad because the show is ending LOL.Tha last scene was tha only TV show that's ever made me tear up lol.

*FN4: Since last fall, I've mostly watched the blu-ray eps of Friends which are shorter and also the ones that are still replayed on TV, so I may be a little off my game. I've committed to the transition back to DVD since November 1st of this year.

Top 10 TV Shows #2: The Sopranos

BW, tha second best TV show of all time is tha hit HBO show THE SOPRANOS.

1) I know most of you think my movie/tv taste is awful (which I guess from an objective standpoint isn't totally off tha mark), but I think everyone recognizes that this show is top notch. As I've previously mentioned before, "The Sopranos rules."

2) Where to start. Obvi tha characters are good. Tony has his ups and downs (well obvi with tha MH problems lol) but is tight. I think my fave was always Pauly. He reminded me of my non-gangster self, in that he was kind of a savant about a lot of things, never really found a way to settle down, and had that sick haircut.

3) And tha plot development was tight. Although I've put to bed the haters, the mystery of if Tony died or didn't die was fitting for a show where Tony never found tranquility or consistency, whether in regards to his mental health issues, his relationship with his family, or his control over tha mob family.

4) My only beef with the show (besides tha legions of you n00bs that think he dies), were those episodes where he is in tha coma and keeps thinking he is Kevin Finnerty. They give me the willies for 2 many reasons to go into, but lets just say RIP to Kevin Finnerty.

ELEVEN

Top 10 TV Shows: #3: Beavis and Butthead

Tha third best television show of all time is the hit animated feature BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD. It's so good for so many reasons:

1) They've spawned so many one-liners that have made their way into my everyday vocabulary. The whole "uhhhhhhhhhhhh" thing obvi is tha biggest one. One of their scenes from the iconic movie Beavis and Butthead Do America is a top 10 scene of all time. All of their music videos reviews were pretty awesome as well.

2) As many of you will recall, B&B originally went off tha air in 1997. All of those hit DVDs we watched @ tha cone were all 10-15 years old at the time and still OTC. Even tha new season was top notch.Tha crying episode, tha ep where they just sit around having dreams all day, hell even tha Christmas episodes were pretty good (bah humbug btw).

3) I think a lot of it had to do with the main plots lines:
a) To B&B, tv >>>> everything. I tend to agree with that assessment.
b) Going to school sucks. I won't endorse that but you know...
c) Pursuing ladies and laying around eating food from the gas station. I'd tune into that. 

3) To top it off, they even had a pretty sick Halloween episode.

To paraphrase Beavis, this show kicks ass lol. 

Top 10 TV Shows: #4: Law and Order: Special Victims Unit

Tha 4th best show of all time is SVU. You know (not to spoil any of tha rest of tha countdown) tha longer tha show goes without any giant hiccups really should speak volumes about tha show.

1) As I've mentioned before, the show is generally solid. There's only a few eps of SVU where I was just standing, screaming at tha top of my lungs about how good they were, but there was never really a long stretch of eps that were horrible.

2) In fact, me and bricker watched the entirety of season 12 in like a day and a half when we were bored. AND it was tha 12th season. It's not like some new gem we stumbled upon (that most of you hippy bloggers constantly tweet about seeing on netflix smh lol), but it's the same old good shit. 

3) And to be honest, Olivia just keeps getting better looking.

4) The downside, and obvi, way that this show could end up crapping out is when the whole cast dies off. I mean, how sad was it when Stabler left? Munch left this season, and rumor is Capt. Cragen is leaving soon too. I mean, starstruck Buffalo always secretly hoped that El and Liv would return for one final go around :(

Top 10 TV Shows: #5: Buckwild

One of the best parts about the magical year of 2013 was the introduction of one of television's greatest shows (#5): BUCKWILD.

Where do I even begin?!?! - Rural country living? Check. - Hot country babe looking to settle down? Check. - A bunch of country music? Check. 

AND THE HIT STAR OF THE SHOW TWEETED AT HALLOWEENJITSU ABOUT HER FAVORITE HORROR MOVIE!!!!

Even with only 1 season, it made its mark on television.

DAMN STRAIGHT

Top 10 TV Shows: #6: Dexter

1)  Part of the problem with my delay in blogging is that I have shows ranked in certain numbers prior to seeing how the rest of the season folds out. (For example, the last season of Eastbound and Down was actually pretty solid.)

2) That being said, this last season was still stop notch sans tha final episode. Really it was one of the better seasons since those first few that were so OTC.

3) I also give this show more credit b/c I always wanted to tune in for new eps and it kept my attention pretty well.

4) Random side note: whoever the girl that played Hannah and Julia Stiles also bumped this up a notch or two <3

I wavered on this a month or two ago but feel pretty solid that this should be #6.

Top 10 Scariest Movies: #1 : The Exorcist

Obvi the number one scariest movie of all time is tha hit movie The Exorcist. And, young Buff said it best in 2010:

"2) Really one of the most objectively scary movies of all time. There's kind of the weird creepy parts like where she pees herself, or where the wigi board thing is moving. But theres also the real scary stuff, like when she spins her head around, or when she walks on her hands backwords down the staircase.
3) I think it's also creepy b/c of the whole devil thing. Back in the day when I used to watch days of our lives, Marlana got possessed by the devil and the VHS recording I took just blacked out the whole devil part. Spooky shit like that scares the bejesus out of me."

 Even watching the edited version of this is creepy.
