Each week, the pop culture website Pop-A-Looza shares some posts from my vast 'n' captivating Boppin' (Like The Hip Folks Do) archives. The latest shared post celebrates the magic of cathode-ray (and LCD) catharsis, with a list of my all-time Top 20 favorite TV shows.
I'm not at all ashamed to say that I love TV. The love isn't indiscriminate--I despise most reality shows and all right-wing punditry, and I've generally lost interest in sitcoms--yet it is a love proud to speak its name. I haven't written many blog pieces about TV, but I have written a few:
The CW's Crisis On Infinite Earths
Mark Evanier Presents Rock 'n' Roll On The Lucy Show
Another Updated List Of TV Series I've Seen From Start To Finish
My long-threatened book The Greatest Record Ever Made! (Volume 1) has at various times included a few songs that were used as theme songs for TV series. Chapters about "The Batman Theme" and "The Green Hornet Theme" are not part of the book's current plan, but the Dandy Warhols' "We Used To Be Friends" (which was the theme for Veronica Mars) remains in some of my blueprints, and "The Transylvania Twist" (performed by Syracuse's own beloved 1960s TV vampire Baron Daemon) is included in all potential versions of the GREM! book. The Baron Daemon chapter is one of the most popular pieces ever to appear on this blog, and it's certainly one of my favorites.,
And I'm all about favorites! A list of my all-time top 20 favorite TV shows serves as the latest Boppin' Pop-A-Looza.
