Thank our lucky stars, fall prime-time TV is finally back. And in homage to the past and present shows that have shaped our lives over the years (yes, we're TV addicts, we admit it), we decided to put together a little page on all things television. When we were done, we realized we might actually need to give up the tube. Or at the very least, cut back. Drastically. - John Gonzalez

Television ... permits millions of people to
listen to the same joke at the same time, and yet remain
lonesome.
