My Favorite Television Memory Of All Time: The M*A*S*H finale in 1983… I was still in the single-digits but clearly remember being absolutely glued to the television set for the very first time.

My Favorite Television Memory Of All Time: Okay, umm… It’s not really a moment so much as an event. I think it might have to be Coach’s “We will all fall” speech in episode one of Friday Night Lights. But I reserve the right to change my mind at any time.

Bio: Andi hails from a tiny town in Northern California where she spent her childhood with nothing at all to do, but cultivate a love of television. She has sarcasm in abundance and enjoys talking and writing about things she loves. In fact, she probably talks and writes too much, as she has a six-year-old she should be playing with. Said six-year-old, however, is currently cultivating her own love of television and Andi does not want to interfere with such a love affair. Some of her favorite things are sushi, Dean Winchester, Lee Adama, and ignoring housework.

Top 3 Favorite Shows Currently On TV: The Big Bang Theory, Community, The IT Crowd

Top 3 Favorite Shows of All Time: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Veronica Mars, Dawson’s Creek

My Favorite Television Memory Of All Time: Probably the very end of Dawson’s Creek, when we finally see who Joey has decided to stay with – and it was who I wanted!

Bio: I’m a total pop culture trivia geek. While I don’t have as much time these days, I still try to soak it up however I can. And as you can see from my reviews, I love great quotes. The shows I watch are mostly guilty pleasure teen shows and offbeat comedies, and Sheldon Cooper from BBT is one of my favorite characters ever (Jim Parsons, for your Emmy consideration!).

My Favorite Television Memory Of All Time: HMM, it may seem wierd, but the baby Jessica story of the 1980s (the baby who fell down the well). I was very young when it happened, but that has stuck with me unitl this day. I can remember watching it and them pulling her out of the well. I cried!

Bio: I love to watch TV, although with kids and a career it is tough. Thank God for the DVR! I also enjoy watching movies, spending time with my family and having fun with my friends.

Top 3 Favorite Shows of All Time: Cold Case, Judging Amy, Grey’s Anatomy

My Favorite Television Memory Of All Time: This isn’t really a “TV” moment per se as much as it is a “TV sports” memory, but, it is my favorite, so here goes. In 2001, the New England Patriots made the Super Bowl, and I watched the entire thing, from the Pats being introduced as a team to the red, white, and blue confetti that fell at the end, with my mother, a Pats fan since their inception. It was the first of three Super Bowl titles, and it remains my favorite.

Bio: After twelve years away, I’ve recently moved back to my hometown of Wichita, Kansas. In real life, I’m a professional cellist and cello teacher, having held positions in several professional orchestras and given recitals throughout the Midwest. In addition to taking TV way too seriously, other hobbies include spending time with family and friends, church activities, writing, blogging, reading, and cooking. I’m happily married to my massage therapist/acupuncturist husband of four years, and we are the proud parents of adorable little boy named Caleb, born two days before the Super Bowl in 2009. We’ve also learned we’re expecting our second child, due in late July 2010!

Top 3 Favorite Shows Currently On TV: LOST, Chuck, Castle

Top 3 Favorite Shows of All Time: LOST, Battlestar Galactica, Seinfeld

My Favorite Television Memory Of All Time: Most likely because I’m currently on a LOST binge as Season 5 comes racing to a close, but one of the first moments that I got really hooked on my favorite show LOST was when John Locke banged on the hatch door in desperation and hopelessness, yelling at the hatch to tell him what to do – and a light comes on from within. The scene was simple in its purpose and execution but spoke volumes in terms of symbolism about life, destiny, fate, free will – all of the philosophical ponderings of this show. This was definitely the first in a series of favorite moments delivered by this very unique and awesome show.

Bio: I’m a musician and writer living in LA with a day-job in the television industry. Originally from Connecticut , I ventured west to California about 6-7 years ago. I’m a fan of good stories told in an interesting fashion, and TV has always been a generous source of that kind of entertainment. We seem to be in somewhat of a modern golden era of television (mainly due to current dramas) and it’s nice to sit back and enjoy the ride.

My Favorite Television Memory Of All Time: When I was very little, I loved to watch TV with my dad, and every Saturday in the fall, I can remember sitting with him and watching college football. One Saturday, there were two games on at the same time that he wanted to watch, so he brought the portable TV into the family room, set it next to the big TV and had both games going at the same time. We camped out on the floor with afghans and watched both games!

Bio: I am married and have two furry kids, a dog named Rocky and a cat named Gypsy. I am a children’s librarian at the public library and I love my job. In my free time, I like to knit, read (a lot), golf, and hang out with my hubby. I mostly love to knit because I can watch TV at the same time! And yes, I watch a lot of TV…
